Omicron  Delta  Kappa  Provides 
Four  Dances  Via  Cotillion  Plan 


Four  more  big  week-ends  on  the 
Washington  Colleg'e  campus  are  in 
the  making  with  ODK's  announce- 
ment of  its  newest  brainchild — ■ 
the  Washington .  College  Cotillion. 
This  Cotillion  will  provide  for  four 
major  dances  here  asHe  from 
Homecoming  and  the  Intersorority 
and   Interfraternity   dances. 

Prices  for  the  Cotillion  tickets 
set  up  by  ODK  will  be:  58-00  per 
year,  which  would  include  admis- 
sion to  four  dances,  and  $4.50  per 
semester  for  admission  to  two 
dances.  Those  who  wish  to  buy 
individual  tickets  at  the  door  will 
pay  a  straight  $3.00  price.     — - 

Each  dance  will  be  sponsored 
by  a  different  organization  with 
each  £rroup  having  complete  con- 
trol over  the  place,  orchestra  and 
dress.  Honey  taken  in  by  sub- 
scription and  at  the  door  will  be 
divided  equally  among  these 
groups  to  be  spent  as  they  see  fit. 
Money  allotted  but  not  used  will 
be  returned  to  the  Cotillion  fund. 
At  the  end  of  the  year  if  there  is 
any  surplus  in  the  fund  it  will  be 
refunded  to  holders  of  the  Cotil- 
lion tickets. 

By  organizing  such  a  set-up, 
ODK  hopes  to  assure  each  organ- 
ization a  pretty  good  attendance 
at  the  dance  plus  giving  them 
enough  money  to  start  with  to 
make  the  occasion  really  worth- 
while. 

The  four  groups  planning  to 
sponsor  Cotillion  dances  this  year 


Attention 

The  attention  of  all  stu- 
dents is  directed  to  the  re- 
cent regulation  printed  on 
p.  97  of  the  Handbook: 
"Students  planning  to  vrith- 
draw  from  Washington  Col- 
lege for  whatever  reasons, 
whether  during  a  semester 
or  at  the  end  of  a  semester, 
must  give  advance  notice  to 
the  Dean  of  the  College  in 
writing,  stating  the  reason 
for  the  withdrawal.  Failure 
to  comply  with  this  proced- 
ure will  prejudice  a  stu- 
dent's changes  of  future  re- 
admission  or  transfer  of 
credits." 

This  regulation  applies  to 
all  withdrawals  prior  to 
graduation,  regardless  of  the 
reason.  The  procedure  is 
introduced  with  no  intent  of 
prying  into  a  student's  pri- 
vate alTaii"s,  but  in  order 
that  the  college  administra- 
tion may  have  as  accurate  a 
record  as  possible  of  antici- 
pated enrollment  from  se- 
mester to  semester  and  year 
to  year,  that  it  may  know  of 
conditions  within  its  con- 
trol which  are  a  cause  of 
dissatisfaction,  and  that  it 
may  have  an  opportunity  to 
extend  assistance  to  stu- 
dents who  are  having  diffi- 
culty remaining  in  college. 


are  ODK,  who  is  leading  off  with 
a  Thanksgiving  dance,  Zeta  Tau 
Alpha  who  \vill  give  their  tradi- 
tional Christmas  dance.  Alpha 
Omega  Nu  who  will  sponsor  the 
Mid-Year  Prom,  and  the  i'unior 
class  will  finish  the  schedule  with 
the  June  Ball. 

However,  there  is  one  catch  to 
ODK's  plan.  One  hundred  sub- 
scriptions must  be  sold  before  the 
Cotillion  can  be  put  into  working 
order.  The  plan  has  been  passed 
unanimously  by  the  four  organi- 
zations who  will  sponsor  the  danc- 
es and  the  rest  has  to  be  left  up  to 
the  student  interest. 

Tickets  will  go  on  sale  next 
week  \vith  members  of  the  four 
organizations  listed  above  handl- 
ing them.  Some  one  will  be  sta- 
tioned in  the  Snack  Ear  at  all 
times  to  sell  tickets.

Scholarships  Awarded    To 
Foar  Outstanding   Seniors 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Faculty, 
September  ISth,  four  Seniors  were 
chosen,  by  virtue  of  their  high 
scholastic  standing,  leadership, 
character,  and  other  qualities,  to 
be  recipients  of  three  scholarships, 
each  of  which  is  valued  at  5125. 

The  announcement  of  the 
awarding  of  these  scholai-ships  was 
made  public  this  week  by  Freder- 
ick A,  Uleigs,  Director  of  the 
George  A,  Bunting  Library,  and 
secretary  of  the  Washington  Col- 
lege Faculty. 

The  two  Senior  scholarships 
were  awarded  to  Orem  Robinson, 
of  Vienna,  Maryland,  and  Ruth 
Roe,  of  Contreville,  Alaryland. 

The  competition  for  the  scholar- 
ship awarded  yearly  in  memory  of 
the  late  Dr.  Mary  C,  Burchinal, 
'96,  and  Julia  M.  Burchinal,  '00, 
was  so  keen  that  it  was  decided  to 
divide  the  $1 25  between  Nancy 
Grey,  of  Hagerstown,  Maryland, 
and  Pauline  Koumjian,  of  Catons- 
ville,  Maryland.  The  recipients 
of  the  Burchinal  Scholarship  are 
customarily  women.  ,

Art  Club  Returns  To  Hill 

The  Art  Club  returns  to  the 
Washington  College  campus  with 
a  meeting  this  Fi'iday  night  at 
6:30,  in  the  movie  room  in  the 
basement  of  Bunting  Library. 
Anyone  interested  in  any  phase  of 
art  is  welcome. 


Freshman  hazing  has  begun 
once  again  on  the  Washington  Col- 
lege campus  for  the  first  time 
since  the  early  days  of  World  War 
II.  Sponsored  by  the  Sophomore 
Class  under  the  leadership  of 
John  Grim  and  Harvey  Leff,  it 
was  voted  into  effect  last  May  by 
this   year's   Sophomore   class. 

It  is  felt  by  the  sponsors  that 
Freshmen  hazing  will  result  in 
more  class  spirit,  and,  with  that, 
more  school  spirit. 

Hazing  will  continue  until  the 
Frosh-Soph  football  game  which 
is  scheduled  for  the  Tuesday  be- 
fore Thanksgiving.  Should  the 
Freshmen  win  this  game,  the  "rat- 
ting" will  be  discontinued;  if  they 
lose  it,  however,  hazing  rules  will 
continue  to  apply  until  the  Christ- 
mas vacation. 

Officers  of  the  class  of  '53  met 
with  Dr.  Gibson,  Dr,  Livingood, 
and  Dr.  Clark  last  week  and  drew 
up  rules  and  regulations  which 
would  be  in  effect  during  the  haz- 
ing    period.        A     committee     of

William  R.  Howell 
Gets   LLD    Here 

Dr.  William  R.  Howell.  Emer- 
itus Professor  of  Economics  and 
Sociology  at  Washington  College 
received  the  Degree  of  Doctor  of 
Laws  at  the  Fall  Convocation. 

In  a  short  talk  after  receiving 
the  degree  Dr,  Howell  referred  to 
Jiimself  as  the  "youngest  alumnus" 
of  the  College.  He  stated  that  his 
philosophy  of  life  is  centered 
around  adherence  to  these  rules: 

1.  Whatever  is  worth  doing  is 
worth  doing  well. 

2.  Learn  to  do  the  hard  things 
of  life  as  well  as  the  easy. 

3.  Learn  to  do  things  you  don't 
like  to  do. 

The  principal  address  of  the 
Convocation  was  delivered  by  Dr. 
Daniel  Z,  Gibson,  President  of  the 


Dr.     William     R.     Howell 
College  who  spoke  on  "The  Art  of 
Living."

ficial citation  for  the  conferring  of 
the  degree.

Patience 


We  have  heard  of  late  several  complaints  concerning 
cur  Snack  Bar.  Two  of  these  are  (1)  The  Snack  Bar  is  not 
opened  early  enough  in  the  morning  and  (2)  It  should  be 
open  on  Fi-idav  nights  and  Sunday  mornings. 

We  find  that  the  Snack  Bar  is  opened  at  the  same  time 
of  the  morning  that  it  was  last  year. 

We  find.  too.  that  there  is  a  pi-oblem  of  procuring  suffi- 
cient labor  without  a  price  increase. 

Some  have  suggested  that  the  labor  be  provided  by  stu- 
dents— ^this  was  tried  previously  and  did  not  turn  out  satis- 
factorily, according  to  a  business  office  spokesman. 

We  do  not  suggest  that  the  students  be  content  with 
anything  they  can  get  but  when  we  consider  that  the  Snack 
Bar  is  a  relatively  new  addition  to  the  campus  and  that  the 
workers  as  a  staff  are  new,  we  should  not  be  too  impatient. 

We  know  that  the  Snack  Bar  is  supposed  to  be  operated 
primarily  for  the  benefit  of  the  students  but  not  even  the 
most  demanding  could  expect  it  to  operate  at  a  loss. 

Let's  see  what  happens  and  take  it  on  from  there. 


Are  You  A  Rat? 


As  can  be  seen  on  the  news  page  of  this  issue,  an  at- 
tempt is  being  made  to  re-establish  limited  hazing  on  the 
Washington  College  campus.  Though  hazing  may  be  lik- 
ened by  some  to  the  primitive  rituals  performed  when  an 
adolescent  becomes  a  man,  we  believe  that  CONTROLLED 
hazing  is  a  good  thing. 

Often  we  have  seen  Freshmen  come  into  college  who 
are  loud,  boisterious  and  obnoxious.  Some  of  them  have 
been  "big  wheels"  in  their  respective  high  schools  and  be- 
lieve that  they  know  all  the  answers. 

We  think  that  limited  hazing  which  is  strong  enough 
to  accomplish  its  purpose  of  bringing  about  a  certain  sense 
of  humility  and  respect  is  not  out  of  order.  A  man  must 
learn  to  conform  to  society  somewhere,  why  not  start  this 
adjustment  at  college?  Ratting,  too,  gives  a  person  some- 
thing to  reminisce  about  in  later  years. 

On  the  other  hand,  we  are  not  in  favor  of  no-holds-bar- 
red  system  of  ratting.  A  list  of  ratting  rules  have  been 
posted — a  board  has  been  established  to  try  all  Sophomores 
who  do  not  follow  these  ratting  rules. 

If  for  any  reason  this  board  should  fail  to  function  and 
the  rules  are  broken,  we  suggest  that  the  Juniors  and  Sen- 
iors find  out  who  is  guilty  and  repay  the  culprits  in  kind. 


Practice  To  Start  Today 
For  W.  C.  Archery  Fans 

Female  hockey  and  archery  en- 
thusiasts will  be  given  their 
chance  to  start  practice  this  after- 
noon when  Miss  Doris  Bell,  coach 
and  instructor,  initiates  the  girls' 
fall  sports  program. 

Miss  Bell  expressed  sarptise  at 
the  number  of  athletes  that  failed 
to  return  to  college  this  year,  but 
hoped  that  the  new  girls  who  are 
in  a  minority  this  year  will  make 
np  the  loss. 

Once  again  this  season,  letter- 
sweaters  will  be  awarded  to  the 
two  outstanding  performers- 


Senior  Of  ...  . 
The  Week 

Editor's  Note:— The  Senior  of 
the  Week  is  chosen  because  of  his 
outstanding  activities  on  campus. 
The  Senior  so  honored  has,  ia  the 
judgment  of  the  Editorial  Staff, 
distinguished  himself  in  the  or- 
ganizations of  which  he  is  a  mem- 
ber or  has  made  noteworthy 
achievements  in  other  fields.  This 
week's   choice    is — Eddie   Leonard. 


Annapolis.  Maryland  is  Eddie's 
home.  He  attended  St.  Paul's  in 
Baltimore  and 
entered  Wash- 
ington College 
in  1947.  Eddie 
was  initiated 
into  Theta  Chi 
Fraternity  and 
was  one  of  the 
early  members 
of  the  Lacrosse  Club  whose  efforts 
later  enabled  Lacrosse  to  become 
a  major  sport  at  Washington. 
Past  business  manager  of  the 
Elm,  his  time  this  year  is  divided 
among  presidencies  of  Theta  Chi, 
Omicron  Delta  Kappa,  and  the 
newly  organized  President's  Club. 
He  is  captain  of  the  Lacrosse 
team  and  a  member  of  the  Varsi- 
ty Club. 

Eddie  came  to  Washington 
College  because  his  pai'ents  want- 
ed to  send  him  to  a  small  col- 
lege and  W.  C.  was  "it".  Major- 
ing in  economics  and  minoring  in 
histoi'yi  Eddie  hopes  to  enter  his 
father's  sporting  goods  business 
after  graduation. 


GUILDED  BUTTERFLIES 


-By  Blom- 


Erncst  Hemingway  once  found 
occasion  to  remark  on  the  "ever- 
shortening  shadow  of  Li'l  Abner- 
Thonias  Wolfe."  At  the  risk  of 
seeming  as  great  an  oss  as  Hem- 
ingway I  will  remark  the  ever- 
thickening  shadow  of  Gorgeous 
George — Ernest  Heminway,  for 
the  man  who  wrote  the  beautiful 
and  magnificent  "A  Farewell  to 
Arms"  has  become  the  ludicrous 
bear  who  wrote  the  sad,  silly 
"Across  the  River  and  Into  the 
Trees"  which  was  published  three 
weeks  ago.  The  book  is  sad  be- 
cause it  is  an  evidence  of  the  de- 
cay of  an  artist;  silly  because 
Hemingway  has  become  silly  be- 
yond belief.  It  is  tribute  eno^feh 
to  remember  "A  Farewell  to 
Arms"  and  forget  "Across  the 
River." 


Last  summer  each  member  of 
the  senior  class  received  from  Mr. 
Jones,  the  president  of  the  senior 
class,  a  letter  dealing  variously 
with  constitutions  and  Great 
Plans.  (This  concerns  all  the  stu- 
dents, since  Mr.  Jones  proposes  to 
have  his  constitution  passed  along 
from  class  to  class).  Now  I  sub- 
mit we  should  not  go  about  willy- 
nilly  wi-iting  constitutions  and 
making  recommendations  to  the 
administration  without  thought. 
The  basis  for  the  whole  thing,  it 
seems  to  me,  and  Mr.  Jones  says 
as  much,  is  that  the  class  means 
something  in  itself,  which,  of 
course,  it  does  not.  Mr.  Jones 
quotes  Franklin's     maxim:      "We

LAMBDA    CHI    ALPHA 

Wayne  Millner  was  pledged  in- 
to Lambda  Chi  last  week.  Con- 
gratulations to  Wayne  and  the 
best  of  luck  to  him  in  his  pledge 
training. 

The  organization  also  took  on 
a  few  inactive  members  last  week. 
About  eight  pink  elephants  now 
adorn  the  rumpus  room  thanks  to 
Brother  "Michelangelo"  Lohman. 
Still  on  the  subject  of  painting, 
Jim  Trader  and  Jim  Smith  have 
improved  the  looks  of  the  upstairs 
hall  with  a  new  coat  of  Brother 
Dyer's  paint. 

Glen  Gray,  President  and  Offi- 
cial Delegate,  with  Larry  Wescott 
and  Sandy  Jones  attended  the 
22nd  General  Assembly  of  Lamb- 
da Chi  Alpha.  The  convention 
was  held  at  the  Edgewater  Beach 
Hotel  September  3  -  6. 


President's  Groap 
Formed  On  Campas 

An  organization  composed  of 
the  Presidents  of  all  existing  or- 
ganizations on  campus  was  found- 
ed September  20th.  Formed  at 
the  suggestion  of  Dr.  Gibson  who 
addressed  the  meeting,  the  group 
is,  in  his  words,  "The  only  com- 
pletely representative  organiza- 
tion on  the  campus."  Its  object 
is  to  foster  harmony  and  closer  co- 
operation among  the  organizations 
represented. 

Eddie  Leonard  was  named  Pres- 
ident of  the  group,  Ruth  Roe  was 
elected  Vice-President.  No  offi- 
cial name  has  yet  been  selected 
for  the  organization. 


KAPPA  ALPHA 

Pledging  ceremonies  were  held 
Wednesday  night  for  Ellsworth 
Boyd,  Joe  Longobardi,  Bob  Mc- 
Lean, and  Dale  Palmer.  Con- 
gratulations to  these  new  men. 

As  the  first  semester  begins,  the 
men  of  Beta  Omega  wish  to  ex- 
tend a  welcome  to  all  new  matric- 
ulates at  Washington  College, 
both  Freshmen  and  transfers.

successful  year. 


must  all  hang  together,  or  most 
assuredly  we  shall  all  hang  sep- 
arately." This  is  not  at  all  logi- 
cal. What  exactly  will  happen  to 
us  if  we  do  not  "hang  together"? 
Mr.  Jones  wants  veto  power.  Now 
what  on  earth  is  he  going  to  veto, 
and  what  possible  difference  can  it 
make  to  anyone?  He  also  wants 
student  government,  meetings, 
regulations,  committees — a  be- 
wildering mazel  It  seems  to  me 
Mr.  Jones  is  too  full  of  himself  in 
the  wrong  direction.  If  we  let 
people  alone  and  remember  why 
we  are  here  "citizenship"  will 
come  naturally. 


ALPHl  CHI 

On  looking  into  East  Hall  last 
week  one  would  find  the  Alpha 
Chi's  busily  moving  furniture 
from  one  room  to  another.  With 
the  exit  of  the  girls  and  the  occu- 
pation of  the  boys,  we  were  advis- 
ed to  move  to  the  sitting  room.

INTRODUCING  THE    FACULTY 


A  O  Pi 

The  members  of  A  O  Pi  had 
their  first  sorojity  meeting  Mon- 
day evening,  September  25.  They 
discussed  plans  for  a  Halloween 
Dance  and  the  annual  A  0  Pi 
Bazaar. 

Several  members  of  our  chapter 
attended  A  0  Pi  parties  in  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  and  Baltimore,  Md., 
this  summer.  The  purpose  of 
these  parties  was  to  acquaint  girls 
planning  to  attend  colleges  with 
the  sorority  system. 

A  O  Pi  is  glad  to  welcome     all 


Two  of  the  new  faculty  mem- 
bers of  Washington  College  have 
been  chosen  to  inaugurate  an 
ELM  series  of  faculty  introduc- 
tions. The  two  men.  Dr.  Nich- 
olas Newlin  and  Mr.  Peter  Jonitis, 
were  both  formerly  instructors  at 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania 
and  are  now  working  in  their  re- 
spective departments  of  English 
and  Economics. 

Dr.   Newlin 

Living  the  life  of  a  bachelor  in 
Chestertown,  Dr.  Newlin  is  known 
to  be  a  man  of  subtle  humor  as 
well  as  the  only  man  in  Kent 
County  who  is  able  to  tell  a  joke 
in  true  Irish.  He  expressed  his 
opinion  that  Washington  College 
has  a  very  pleasant  atmosphere 
and  cordial  student  body. 

Long  before  he  came  to  W.  C. 
campus,  he  started  college  at  Wil- 
liams College  where  he  received 
his  B.  A.  degree.  After  gradua- 
tion, he  taught  French  and  Span- 
ish at  the  Episcopal  Academy  at 
Philadelphia,  and  then  was  later 
employed  in  an  insurance  com- 
pany until  he  got  the  call  of  the 
pencils  and  books  again  and  work- 
ed for  hia  Masters  and  Doctors  de- 


gree at  U,  of  Pennsylvania.  He 
later  became  a  member  of  the  fac- 
ulty at  that  institution  for  sever- 
al years. 

Mr.  Jonitis 

Clark  University,  Columbia,  and 
U.  of  Pennsylvania  comprised  the 
educational  background  of  Mr, 
Jonitis,  professor  of  Sociology  and 
Economics.  He  ia  a  family  man 
and  lives  in  Chestertown  with  his 
wife  and  twin  boy  and  girl.  He 
can  always  find  time  for  a  few 
rounds  of  golf  although  he  admits 
his  wife  is  the  better  half  aa  far 
as  golfing  is  concerned. 

During  the  last  war,  Mr,  Jonitis 
waa  the  director  of  the  Army  ori- 
entation program  at  Lovell  Gen- 
eral Hospital  at  Fort  Devens, 
Mass.,  and  afte'.-wards,  he  taught 
at  U.  of  Pennsylvania  while  he 
finished  hia  graduate  work. 

Asked  for  his  opinion  of  Wash- 
ington College,  Professor  Jonitis 
stated,  "I  look  forward  to  teach- 
ing in  a  small  college  because  such 
teaching  affords  one  an  opportun- 
ity to  have  small  classes  with  dis- 
cussion. Also,  more  community 
spirit  is  possible  on  a  small  cam- 
pus."

Shore-Lycoming  Elevens  ClashTomorrow 


By  Joel  Guandolo 

The  cold  snap  of  the  past  week  seems  to  have  quicken- 
ed the  football  tempo  here  on  the  hill  as  new  candidates  hit 
the  turf  in  hopes  of  joining  the  ranks  of  veterans  that  have 
been  plugging  since  last  month. 

With  the  up  swing  of  college  spirit,  that  has  been  pre- 
dicted on  the  wav  since  the  war,  comes  "ratting".  We  give 
it  a  nod  with  the  comment  "its  all  in    how    you    play    the 

This  season  nineteen  new  rules  changed  the  collegiate 
football  code  slightly.  An  extra  time  out  per  half  was  add- 
ed, the  center  must  now  keep  the  ball  stationary  after  as- 
suming his  position,  and  free  substitution  is  now  allowed  in 
ma^s  while  the  clock  is  stopped.  At  last,  a  no-man's  land 
has  been  set  up  around  the  entire  playing  field.  No  player, 
coach,  pressman  or  what  have  you  is  allowed  within  five 
feet  of  the  chalk  marks. 

Grantland  Rice  diviated  from  the  path  his  colleagues 
ti-ed  this  season  and  didn't  pick  Maryland  U.  as  one  of  the 
country's  twenty  best  teams. 

Take  an  afternoon  off  and  check  the  soccer  squad  on 
the  lower  field.  A  miniature  Honduras  hustler  is  attracting 
a  lot  of  attention  from  veteran  legmen. 

With  an  enrollment  of  700  at  Lycoming  College,  its 
hard  to  understand  why  they  dropped  five  games  last  season 
while  winning  only  one.  Maybe  the  location  of  the  college 
which  is  in  the  center  of  Williamsport  has  something  to  do 
with  it? 

Sports  minded  students  still  needed.  Inquire  via  box 
151. 

The  sweat  suit  clad  harriers  have  been  putting  in  over- 
time under  the  whip  hand  of  Filmore  Dryden  in  preparation 
for  their  home  meet  with  the  Greyhounds  of  Loyola  on  the 
14th. 

Can't  something  be  done  about  medical  aid  for  the  ath- 
letes? Not  only  is  there  no  doctQr  in  attendance  at  the 
games  but  injured  players  have  in  the  past  and  undoubtedly 
will  in  the  immediate  future  lay  in  the  local  hospital  waiting 
for  a  doctor's  attention.  For  example,  just  last  Saturday 
half  back  Vinny  Magliochetti  was  rushed  to  the  X-day  table 
with  what  was  thought  to  be  a  broken  ankle.  A  nurse  took 
the  picture  and  a  hour  and  a  half  later  the  doteor  arrived 
and  diagnosed  the  case  as  a  sprain.  What  if  it  had  of  been 
worse  ? 


Half  •  Back     MagUochetti 
Rejoins  Squad  This   Week 

Scrappy  Sho'men  back,  Vinny 
Magliochetti,  who  was  hospitalized 
last  Saturday  during  the  Havev- 
ford  scrimmage,  rejoined  the 
squad  this  week. 

X-rays  showed  that  Magliochet- 
ti's  ankle  was  not  broken  as  fear- 
ed by  the  coaches.  Dr.  Fan  of 
the  local  infirmary  diagnosed  the 
footballer's  injury  as  a  trouble- 
some sprain. 


Vinnio   Magliochetti 

Hnwtiver,  the  doctor  permitted 
the  fleet-footed  New  Yorker  to  re- 
turn to  the  gridiron  to  partake  in 
lisht  workouts  if  the  coach  saw 
fit. 

Coach  Montero  visited  his  boy 
immediately  after  the  game  and 
seemed  grcally  relicvod  to  find  the 


injury  of  a  minor  nature. 

Magliochetti  wilt  be  sidelined 
tomorrow  at  Lycoming,  but  it  is 
hoped  that  the  high  stepping  half 
back  will  be  ready  for  action  when 
the  Sho'men  meet  the  powerful 
Swarthmore  eleven  the  following 
week. 


Twelve  Competing  For 
Cheerleading  Vacancies 

The  old  Washington  College 
spirit  has  nabbed  six  freshmen  and 
six  upperclass  girls  for  the  cheer- 
ing squad. 

These  twelve  are  competing  for 
the  four  vacancies  to  complete  the 
squad  of  eight  girls  and  three  boys. 

The  maroon  and  black  candi- 
dates are:  Beecie  Bavnett,  Joan 
Heffner.  Margie  Wilding,  Janice 
Palmer,  Pat  Bruell.  Jane  Mills, 
Pat  Fennell,  Peggy  Brimcr.  A.  J. 
Carr.  Mickey  Ross,  Do  Owens,  and 
Marion  Neighbour. 

Held  over  from  last  year's  squad 
are  Jane  Bradley,  Mickey  Olt,  Kay 
Heigh  Ahern,  Pat  Bowes,  Duke 
Case  and  Mole  Janigan.  Ben 
Krotee  is  a  new  male  addition. 

Final  selections  will  be  made  in 
the  near  future-

The  first  Varsity  athletic  con- 
test to  be  played  at  home  will  find 
the  soccer  squad  playing  host  to 
the  Towson  Teachers  of  Balti- 
more next  Wednesday. 

The  strengthened  Shore  agriga- 
tion  will  be  striving  to  erase  the 
1  to  0  defeat  they  suffered  at  the 
hands  of  the  Teachers  last  season. 
It  is  predicted,  although  Coach 
Athey  will  make  no  statement, 
that  some  new  legs  will  be  seen  in 
the  starting  lineup. 


Maroon  And  Black  To  Play  First 
Pigskin  Game  On  Foe's  Field 


Buddy  Brower 

Field  captain  Buddy  Brower  will 
lead  the  squad  from  his  center- 
half  position.  The  other  probable 
starters  -nill  be:  McHugh,  goalie; 
Grim  and  Long,  FB;  Ortel  and 
Hungerford,  HB;  Tilley,  CF; 
Brandenburg  and  Hermandez,  RL 
inside,  and  Horn  and  Janigan,  RL 
outside. 

The  defensive  trio  has  been 
working  nicely  in  front  of  the  net 
and  look  the  best  when  things  are 
tightest.  Playmaker  Brower  con- 
tinues to  "feed"  one  of  the  fastest 
quartet  of  scorers  ever  to  hit 
Washington  College. 

Hungerford  and  Ortel  combine 
to  insure  speed  and  power  while 
center-forward  Tilley  remains  a 
constant  scoring  threat  with  his 
fast,   cagey  maneuvers. 

Wednesday's  bout  should  prove 
to  be  one  of  the  most  hotly  fought 
games  of  the

Montero  Speaks 
AtWi!m.Club 

By   Jack    Smith 

Coach  Montero  faced  an  audi- 
ence of  experts  from  all  fields  of 
sports  last  iMonday  at  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  Touchdown  Club 
of  Wilmington. 

As  one  of  the  guest  speakers  of 
the  meeting,  Montero  spoke  plain- 
ly describing  football  at  Washing- 
ton College  and  its  possibilities  for 
the  year.  It  was  his  plain  and 
sincere  talk,  never  boasting  of  be- 
ing pessimistic,  that  won  the 
hearts  and  admiration  of  the  ex- 
perts. 

Once  again,  Dim  showed  that  he 
could  fill  the  bill  as  speaker  as  well 
as  a  coach.  Joe  Ingarra's,  the 
coach's  companian  for  the  even- 
ing, only  comment  was,  "He  was 
gi-eat."  And  so  Dim  Montero 
faces  his  second  year  as  coach  of 
the  Sho'men. 

The  squad's  faith  in  their  coach 
was  summed  up  by  their  captain. 
Bob  Herman,  when  he  told  this  re- 
porter, "We  should  go  all  the  way 
barring  major  injuries  to  our 
players.  This  is  my  fourth  year 
on  this  field  and  I  have  never  seen 
the  boys  working  more  earnestly 
for  any  coach." 

Coach  Montero's  basic  football 
views  come  from  such  all-time 
greats  as  Roekne,  Warner,  and 
Stagg.  Dim  assisted  Alonso 
Stage  at  the  College  of  Pacific 
during  the  Second  World  War 
while  recuperating  from  a  wound. 
Stagg's  three  basic  rules  have  al- 
ways been  followed  by  Dim. 

These  rules  are  quite  simple, 
but  very  important  to  a  winning 
team.  The  first  one  is  the  idea 
of  working  for  a  team,  not  as  an 
individual.  The  second  is  simply 
to  show  who  is  boss  by  hitting 
hard  from  the  beginning,  staying 
on  top  and  never  letting  up.  The 
third  is  the  most  important  and 
that  is  to  be  a  good  sport,  win, 
lose  or  draw.  Being  a  good  sport 
after  ■winning  is  often  harder  than 
after  facing  defeat.  These  ideals 
are  vei-y  easy  to  follow  if  one 
tries. 

So — with  eight  games  to  go — 
pull  down  your  caps,  rub  your 
noses  and  cross  your  fingers,  we're 
going  all  the  way. 


with  blue  and  gold  as  the 
Lycoming  College  tomon'ow 
Pa.  field. 

The  Pennsylvania  squad  has  al- 
ready played  one  league  game 
with  Susquehanna  University 
which  they  last  27  to  0.  The  tight 
split-T  formation  that  the  Lycom- 
ing eleven  used  to  no  avail  last 
week  will  undoubtedly  be  tried 
again  tomorrow. 

In  contrast,  the  Monteromen, 
playing  their  first  league  game, 
will  work  mainly  from  the  Michi- 
gan single-wing,  although  they 
\vill  mix  in  a  little  T  play  of  their 
own.  The  locals  have  picked  up 
a  few  more  reserves  since  their 
early  scrimmages,  but  the  edge 
must  be  given  to  the  Warriors  in 
this  department  as  the  substitutes 
stand  four  deep  at  every  position. 
Williamsport  coaches,  Vince 
Chimente  and  assistant  Lee  Baer, 
can  be  counted  on  to  throw  every- 
thing into  the  grid  fire  in  hopes 
of  a  win.  Last  week's  shutout 
added  nothing  to  their  predlses- 
sors  '49  record  of  one  win  and  five 
losses. 

The  quick  opening  plays  and 
pitch  outs  that  the  Warriors  con- 
centi'ate  on  should  give  the  Shore 
line  a  chance  to  redeem  them- 
selves after  their  sliding  perform- 
ance in  scrimmage  last  week. 

Coach  Montero  will  field  a 
starting  eleven  that  promises  to 
start  the  bail  moving.  Nacrelli 
will  be  calling  signals  from  the 
quarterback  slot  while  team-mate 
Wilson  does  the  handoff  work 
from  behind  the  line.  Greto  will 
halfback  the  quartet  along  with 
Howard  out  on  the  wing, 

Desmond  centere  the  seven  man 
fonvard  wall  flanked  by  Ingarra 
and  Gardner.  Tackles  mil  be 
Bonnett  and  Cannone  while  iVtill- 
ner  and  Plocharski  ^vill  end  things 
for  the  Sho'men's  first  rivals.

Pan  Council  Opens  Year 

Inter-sorority  relations  began 
for  the  year  with  the  first  meeting 
of  the  Panhellenic  Council  on  last 
Tuesday  evening. 

The  main  business  of  the  Coun- 
cil was  the  decision  to  present  to 
Margaret  Featherer  the  Panhel- 
lenic book  scholai-ship.  This 
scholarship,  established  last  year, 
is  an  award  of  fifty  dollars  given 
to  one  deserving  Freshman  wom- 
an. Persons  desiring  the  scholar- 
ship submit  essays  on  why  the 
scholarship  is  desired,  and  the  best 
one  is  selected  for  the  award. 

Plans  are  also  being  formulated 
for  the  fall  rushing  season  which 
formally  opens  vnih  the  Panhel- 
.anic  Tea  on  October  29th.

Rep.  Miller  Of  First  Congressional 
District  Speaks  On  Election  Issues 


Representative  Edward  T.  Mil- 
ler of  the  First  Congressional  Dis- 
trict of  Maryland,  spoke  last  night 
in  the  Auditorium  on  1950  elec- 
tion issues. 

Mr.  Miller,  a  Republican,  has 
twice  been  elected  to  Congress 
(1946  and  1948)  from  a  demo- 
cratic stronghold.  He  has  spoken 
to  the  student  body  of  Washing 
ton  College  several  times  before 
and  is  an  honorary  member  of  the 
Washington  College  circle  of 
ODK. 

Mr.  Miller,  a  graduate  of  Yale, 
is  a  native  of  Easton,  Md.,  and  a 
lawyer  by  profession.  For  years 
he  served  as  referee  in  bankrupt 
cy  cases.  In  both  the  first  and 
the  second  world  war  he  won  dis- 
tinction as  a  member  of  the  U.  S. 
Army.  In  World  War  II  he  was 
a  Colonel  in  the  U.  S.  Army,  and 
at  the  same  time,  because  of  ef- 
fective work  in  China,  was  made 
a  Chinese  general,  the  only  mem- 
ber of  the  U.  S.  Congress  to  be  a 
General  in  the  Chinese  army. 

Representative  Miller  has  long 
been  interested  in  Washington 
College  and  has  contributed  val- 
uable materials  to  its  library.  He 
is  presently  conducting  his  cam- 
paign for  reelection. 


Freshman  Class  Elects 
Temporary  Candidates 

Elections  were  held  last  Wed- 
lesday  evening,  October  4,  by  the 
Freshman  class  for  the  purpose  of 
electing  temporary  class  officers, 
who  would  serve  until  the  regular 
elections  this  November.  The 
candidates  voted  into  office  were: 

Lawrence  Wedekind,  President; 
John  Palmer  Newbold,  Vice-Pres- 
ident; Dorothy  Willis,  Secretary; 
and  Le  Roy  Weisman,  Treasurer. 

This  action  was  taken  on  the 
suggestion  of  Dr.  Charles  B. 
Clark,  Dean  of  Men,  who  pointed 
out  that  it  had  been  the  custo- 
mary procedure  on  the  Washing- 
ton College  campus  during  the 
previous  years  whe  nhazing  had 
been  in  effect. 

It  was  felt  both  by  Dr.  Cfark 
and  0.  D.  K.  that  the  Freshmen 
needed  some  type  of  unification 
during  the  "ratting"  period.  These 
officers  would  also  give  the  Frosh 
some  official  medium  for  voicing 
their  complaints  and  suggestions 
to  0.  D.  K. 

Nominations  for  class  officers 
were  taken  on  Tuesday,  Septem- 
ber 26  by  Harvey  LefF.  acting  for 
O.  D.  K.;  and  altogether,  fifteen 
candidates  were   nominated. 

The  purpose  of  forestalling  the 
elections  of  permanent  Freshmen 
officers  until  November  is  simply 
to  give  the  class  members  more 
time  to   become  acquainted. 

As  yet  no  definite  date  has  been 
set  for  these  elections;  but  it  ia 
thought  that  they  will  take  place 
immediately  following  the  Thunka-

Disciplinary  Committee 
Expels  Disorderly  Pupil 

The  first  case  to  come  before 
the  newly-formed  Disciplinary 
Committee  resulted  in  the  expul- 
sion of  a  student  from  Washington 
College.  The  student  was  found 
guilty  of  a  charge  of  disorderly 
conduct  for  the  second  time  and 
has  been  dropped  from  the  college 
rolls. 

The  new  Disciplinary  Committee 
has  only  recently  been  establish- 
ed by  President  Gibson.  Its  mem- 
bers include  Dr.  Joseph  McLain, 
chairman,  Coach  Ed  Athey,  Pro- 
fessor Jonitis;  Dean  of  Men,  Dr. 
Charles  B.  Clark  and  Dean  of 
Women,  Miss  Amanda  T.  Bradley 
as  well  as  two  student  representa- 
tives. The  two  student  repre- 
sentatives are  Eddie  Leonard, 
president  of  ODK,  and  Elinor 
Gustafson,  representative  of  the 
Junior  class  selected  by  ODK. 

According  to  Dr.  Gibson,  more 
students  will  eventually  be  added 
to  the  committee. 


Registrar  Resigns  Post 
On  Physician's  Advice 

Miss  Mattie  Whitaker  has  relin- 
quished the  responsibilities  of  her 
position  as  Registrar  of  Washing- 
ton College  upon  the  advice  of  her 
physician. 

"Miss  Mattie"  has  served  as 
Registrar  since  1948,  During 
that  time  she  has  processed  the 
records  of  three  of  the  largest 
giaduating  classes  in  the  long  his- 
tory of  Washington  College  as  well 
as  those  of  hundreds  of  other  stu- 
dents. She  will  resume  her  for- 
mer duties  as  assistant  registrar, 
FoBter   Named    Registrar 

Professor  Ermon  Foster  of  the 
Department  of  Education  assumed 
the  position  of  Acting  Registrar 
on  October  1.  He  will  continue 
as  a  member  of  the  teaching  staff 
in  education,  but  will  give  up  his 
post  as  curator  of  the  museum. 


Hazing  Comm,  Deals 
Oat  First  Penalty 

The  first  penalties  were  meted 
out  this  week  by  the  Sophomore 
Committee  on  Hazing  to  Freshmen 
who  had  violated  the  "Ratting" 
regulation.  Those  Frosh  found 
guilty  of  breaking  hazing  rules 
were:  Ralph  Hodges,  Frank  Von 
Ruitein,  Dick  Salkina,  Herb 
Brown,  Don  Tabasco,  and  Laura 
"Beecie"  Barnett. 

Dick  Salkina,  who  was  guilty  of 
cutting  campus,  having  no  name 
tag,  and,  in  another  instance,  of 
having  no  name  tag  in  plain  view, 
drew  the  heaviest  punishment.  He 
was  sentenced  to  push  a  peanut 
around  the  recreation  room  of 
Hodson  Hall  mth  his  nose.  This 
sentence  was  carried  out  last  Mon- 
day night  at  6:15  amidst  a  laugh- 
ing crowd  of  Sophomores  and  up- 
per classmen. 

Herb  Brown,  convicted  of  the 
same  offenses  as  Salkina,  was 
charged  to  act  as  doorman  at  Hod- 
son  for  one  week  during  both 
shifts  of  dinner.  Don  Tabasco, 
guilty  of  not  wearing  a  name  tag, 
will  have  to  perform  this  same 
task  for  the  afternoon  meals. 

Other  penalties  imposed  includ- 
ed wearing  signs,  double  name 
tags,  and  marching  around  Cain 
Hall  with  a  broom  from  6:30  to 
7:30  in  the  evenings. 


Five  Injured  In 
Auto  Crash  Here 

Two  Washington  College  stu- 
dents and  four  colored  residents 
of  Worton,  Md.,  were  involved  in 
a  two-car  accident  at  11:05  last 
night  at  the  intersection  of  route 
213  and  Morgnec  road. 

The  two  college  students.  Bob 
McLean  and  Harry  Wolfe,  were 
hospitalized  for  lacerations  of  the 
head,  abrasions  and  bruises.  Two 
of  the  three  colored  women  were 
hospitalized,  one  for  a  fractured 
leg  and  foot,  along  with  the  driv- 
er, Joseph  Asbury  Gilbert. 

According  to  state  trooper 
Extreme,  a  '36  Buick  sedan  driven 
by  Joseph  Gilbert  was  headed 
north  on  route  213.  After  the 
collision  the  car  ran  off  the  road 
and  did  extensive  damage  to  the 
Jewel  Brother's  business  estab- 
lishment. 

No  statement  from  Bob  and 
Harry  has  been  forthcoming  as 
yet. 

At  present  both  Bob  and  Harry 
are  in  Chestertown  Hospital. 
Their  condition  is  not  critical  ac- 
cording  to   hospital   authorities, 

A  hearing  will  be  held  in  about 
two  weeks  pending  condition  of 
the  injured. 


Draft  Call  For  Fall-Time 
Stadents  To  Be  Delayed 

According  to  official  word  from 
the  American  Council  on  Educa- 
tion, college  students  pursuing 
full-time  courses  who  receive 
their  orders  for  induction  under 
the  Selective  Service  while  enroll- 
ed in  an  institution  of  higher 
education,  and  who  wish  to  post- 
pone their  entrance  into  the  arm- 
ed forces,  should  request  post- 
ponement of  induction.  Post- 
ponement till  the  end  of  the  aca- 
demic year  is  mandatory  upon  the 
local  Boards  for  all  full-time  stu- 
dents. 

Pottponemant  Defined 
Postponement  is  to  be  distin- 
guished from  deferment.  An  earl- 
ier bulletin  of  the  Selective  Ser- 
vice providing  for  deferment  of 
students  who  had  been  enrolled  in 
college  for  a  full  year,  who  were 
continuing  their  college  work,  agd 
who  were  in  the  upper  half  of 
their  class  scholastically,  was  aim- 
ed primarily  to  provide  for  such 
students  as  received  their  orders 
for  induction  between  August  1, 
1950,  and  the  opening  of  the  col- 
lege year.  Deferment  involves 
reclassification  into  2A;  postpone- 
ment does  not,  at  present. 
Procedure 
AH  students  receiving  notice 
for  induction  under  Selective  Ser- 
vice must  note  two  points:  (1) 
They  must  request  postponement; 
(2)  They  must  have  an  official 
certification  from  the  college  that 
he  is  pui-suing  a  full-time  course 
of  studies.  Such  certifications 
will  be  issued  by  the  President  of 
Washington  College. 

None  of  the  above     provisions 
apply  to   members  of  the  various 
components. 


The  Athletic  Department  wish- 
es to  express  it's  thanks  to  the 
loyal  grid  fans  who  added  to  the 
practice  session   this  afternoon. 

It  is  hoped  that  a  larger  repre- 
sentation of  the  student  bady  can 
find  time  for  the  Sho'men  tomor- 
row afternoon, 


Swarthmore  Offers  Recruits; 
Sho' Hot  To  Erase '49  Tie 

The  Sho'men  will  be  angling  to  hook  eleven  Little 
Quakers  tomorrow  at  2  P.  M.  when  the  Kibler  field  gridiron 
IS  cleated  for  the  first  time  this  season. 

This  will  be  the  Garnet  clad 
lads'  initial  scrap  of  the  current 
campaign,  wherein  they  hope  to 
better  their  last  year's  record  of 
two  wins,  five  losses,  and  one  tie. 
Coaches  Lew  Elverson  and  Paul 
Stofko  are  placing  their  hopes 
mainly  on  the  new  recruits.  The 
return  of  only  thirteen  lettermen 
found  the  new  comers  filling  gaps 
at  the  guards,  ends  and  halfback 
slots. 

Here  in  Chestertown,  coach 
Montero  has  practically  the  same 
squad  returning  from  last  year. 
These  are  the  same  men  that  bat- 
tered the  Garnets  in  their  '49  op- 
ener but  were  deadlocked  in  a  tie. 
Working  from  the  Michigan 
single-wing  and  the  split  T  the 
Sho'  crew  is  looking  for  a  rough 
afternoon.  Johnny  Wilson  will 
continue  to  call  plays  from  the 
center  of  the  T  while  T-guard 
Nacrelli  will  shift  back  when  the 
single-wing  starts  to  fly.  Rounding 
out  the  offensive  quartet  will  be 
lililler  at  full,  Greto  at  half,  and 
Howard  at  the  other  half. 

Sho'men  coaches,  Montero  and 
Apichella  are  expected  to  field  the 
same  "line  herd"  that  ripped  Ly- 
coming's forward  wall  to  shreds 
last  week. 

On  the  ground,  the  Shoremen 
have  a  long  range  attack  featur- 
ing Miller  and  Howard.  These 
two  speedsters  are  capable  of  roll- 
ing over  the  chalk  stripes  for 
plenty  of  yardage.  This  was  evi- 
denced last  week  at  Lycoming 
when  Miller  broke  away  for  runs 
of  67  and  73  yards.  Howard,  who 
wastes  no  time  in  starting,  ran 
the  opening  kickoff  back  40  yards. 
Three  plays  later  he  scampered 
for  23  more  to  hit  "pay  dirt." 

Swarthmore's  eleven  will  be  re- 
lying on  a  straight  T-formation 
with  few  variations.  Captain  Bob 
Forrey,  tackle,  will  be  the  main- 
stay in  a  heavy  forward  wall.  He 
will  be  flanked  by  Asplundhr  at 
center.  Voicing  and  Raymond  at 
the  guard  positions,  Burns  at  the 
other  tackle,  and  the  combination 
of  Blake  and  Franty  on  the  ends. 
In  the  scoring  department,  the 
Quakers  feature  Francis.  Swan 
and  Cusano.  Francis  and  Cusano

Players  Start 
Staging  Plans 

Serious  preparation  has  begun 
for  the  staging  of  the  Washington 
Players'  newest  production,  "Dou- 
ble Door".  The  play,  written  by 
Elizabeth  McFadden  will  be  pre- 
sented November  16  and  17  in 
Bill  Smith  auditorium. 

Casting  for  the  three  act  play, 
which  enjoyed  a  successful  run 
at  the  Ritz  Theatre  in  New  York 
a  few  years  ago,  was  held  last 
week. 

The  play,  a  psychological  mys- 
tery, was  fii-st  presented  August 
16,  1933,  at  Southampton.  Long 
Island,  and  subsequently  produced 
successfully  in  New  York  by  Potte 
and  Hagh. 

The  play  evolves  about  the  dic- 
tatorial actions  of  Victoria  Van 
Bret,  of  an  aristocratic  family  of 
New  York's  Fifth  Avenue,  who

'i  Across 

the 

River  and  into  the  Trees  is  un- 
doubtedly the  most  provocative 
book  published  this  fall  and  every- 
one from  Tennessee  Williams,  the 
noted  playwright,  to  radio  com- 
mentator Bob  Considine  have  been 
talking  both  good  and  bad  cracks 
at  this  novel. 

The  Library  is  expecting  its 
copy  of  this  No.  2  best-seller 
momentarily  and  you  can  bet  an 
old  copy  of  Hemingway's  A  Fare- 
well to  Arms  that  it  will  have  its 
pages  worn  thin  quickly. 

Descriptive  prose,  of  which 
Hemingway  is  the  master,  places 
us  in  picturesque  Venice,  city  of 
the  gondolas,  after  the  post-war 
reaction  has  taken  place.  He 
dissertates  on  duck  hunting  at 
some  length  in  similar  fashion  as 
he  has  Jone  in  previous  works  with 
bullfighting  and  big  game  hunting. 
Colonel  Cantwell,  a  busted  brig- 
adier general,  is  the  typical  Hem- 
ingway man  but  for  one  excep- 
tion. Besides  incorporating  the 
bitter  hard-boiled  soldier  and  a 
warm,  passionate  lover,  he  is  a 
connoissur  of  the  arts  and  con- 
stant allusions  are  made  to  Italian 
renaissance  painters  and  Dante, 
Venice,  which  competed  with  Flor- 
ence for  the  title  of  the  art  cap-

Are  We  Breaking  Our  Arm? 

In  an  editorial  last  week  the  ELM  pointed  out  that  the 
students  would  like  for  the  Snack  Bar  to  be  open  on  Friday 
nights  and  Sunday  mornings.  A  notice  has  been  posted 
stating  that  the  Snack  Bar  will  be  open  at  the  above  meii- 
tioned  times.  However,  we  do  not  credit  our  editorial  with 
bringing  about  this  change.  It  was  a  change  that  was  al- 
most inevitable;  nevertheless,  we  appreciate  it. 

We  are  glad  that  when  we  wrote  the  editorial  we  did 
not  climb  aboard  our  typewriter  and  ride  madly  off  in  all 
directions.  We  are  glad  that  we  asked  for  patience ;  other- 
wise we  would  have  looked  a  little  silly. 

We  believe  that  all  students  and  student  organizations 
can  profit  from  this  series  of  events.  In  other  words,  when 
you  start  to  bring  about  some  world-shaking  change,  make 
sure  you  know  what  you're  doing  and  then  proceed.

ital  of  the  world,  in  the  fifteenth 
and  sixteenth  centuries  evidently 
incites  this  element  with  its  mus- 
eums and  shrines. 

Hemingway  again  present  the 
dream  girl,  the  girl  who  says  "I 
only  want  to  serve  you"  to  her 
lover,  in  the  form  of  a  nineteen 
year  old  Italian  countess  who  is 
referred  to  as  "Daughter"  by  her 
fifty-one  year  old  colonel. 

It  is  generally  agreed  that 
Across  the  River  and  into  the 
Trees  is  not  one  of  Hemingway's 
better  novels  but  that  it  is  an  "in- 
terim work."  You  can  neverthe- 
less not  go  wrong  in  reading  this 
book,  not  only  because  it  is  an  in- 
tensely interesting  and  engaging 
book  with  some  prose  that  it  is  in- 
comparable. 


sics  minor  and  has  hopes  of  grad- 
uating in  February. 

Polly  is  recording  secretary  of 
A  0  Pi,  the  president  of  the  Sci- 
ence Club,  and  the  associate  edi- 
tor of  the  Pegasus.  With  all  these 
activities  to  her  credit,  she  still 
finds  time  for  the  Washington 
Players  for  which  she  is  treasurer 
and  back  stage  worker. 

To  work  in  the  field  of  chemis- 
try is  Polly's  choice  of  vocation 
after  her  graduation.  However. 
her  future  plans  will  probably  in- 
clude Ed  BesBon,  to  whom  she  is 
pinned.  Ed  graduated  last  year 
and  is  now  in  Baltimore  studying 
to  become  a  doctor. 

"Whatever  Polly  may  do  after 
she  leaves,  everyone  at  Washing- 
ton wishes  success  to  a  girl  who 
really  deserves  it. 


Well,  it's  evident  that  school  has 
finally  started  and  that  all  stu- 
dents have  settled  down  earnest- 
ly to  try  and  grasp  a  good  know- 
ledge of  all  subjects  assigned  to 
them.  The  latter  point  has  prov- 
en itself  considerably,  especially 
in  one  particular  case  I  know  of. 
In  an  economics  class  earlier 
this  week  Prof.  Bryan  stated  that 
figures  showed  the  average  Amer- 
ican family  to  be  1.7  persons  in 
the  1930'3.  Quipped  a  senior 
from  the  back  of  the  room:  "How 
could  that  be  when  it  takes  2 
whole  people  to  make  a  family?" 

Still  in  a  class  under  the  same 
heading,  when  the  professor  ask- 
ed the  definition  of  alimony,  one 
student  almost  came  out  with: 
"the  high  coat  of  leaving."

On  The  Shore 

Washington  College,  resort  on  the 

Shore, 
Where  daytime  is  playtime;  it's  a 

haven  and  more; 
The   students  have   autos;  profes- 

soi-s  all  walk, 
Instructors  are   quiet;  the   classes 

all  talk. 
Where  tests  are  a  snap  and     no- 
body studies. 
The   deans   and   the   playboys   are 

the  biggest  of  buddies. 
The  snack  bar  sells  beer,  doesn't 

bother  with  cokes; 
Professors  don't  lecture,  they  tell 

dirty  jokes. 
The  food  is  supreme,  a  delight  to 

the  taste. 
Every  morsel's  devoured  and  none 

goes  to  waste. 
The  coeds  are  out  till  wee  hours 

neath  the  moon, 
Unlimited  cuts,  so  they  all  nap  till 

Dances  and  parties     and     picnics 

and  things, 
A  maid  for  each     room     who     is 

there  at  a  ring. 
Night-life's   the   right   life    at   old 

Washington, 
The  greatest     night-owl     is     her 

favorite  son. 
Money   flows  freely,   there's  more 

when   it's  gone, 
Athletic  coeds  play  tag     on     the 

lawn; 
In   sports  she's   outstanding     and 

takes  every  honor, 
Her   history's   unique,   though   old 

age  is  upon  her. 
Life  at  old  Washington  none  can 

deny. 
Might  be   considered   the   highest 

of  high. 
For  our  dear  alma     mater     needs 

nought  to  redeem  her; 
You  may  awake  now,  you  beautiful 

dreamer! 


From  The  Files 

Five  Years  Ago  This  Week 
With  the  return  of  vets  to  the 
campus  the  three  national  fratern- 
ities were  again  able  to  reorgan- 
ize. Lambda  Chi  had  twelve  act- 
ives, while  Theta  Chi  and  K.  A. 
had  five  each. 

Plans  were  being  made  to  bring 
varsity  football,  basketball,  track, 
and  possibly  soccer  back  to  the 
"Hill"  after  an  absence  of  four 
years. 

Rules  for  Freshmen  were  listed 
and  the  "Rats"  were  required  "to 
tip  their  hats  respectfully  to  all 
faculty  members,  faculty  wives, 
co-eds.  and  upper  classmen"  as 
well  as  take  turns,  two  at  a  time 
each  night,  going  to  Bennett's  to 
bring  back  sandwiches  and  soft- 
drinks  for  upper  classmen. 
Ten  Years  Ago  This  Week 

The  Sho'men  opened  the  1940 
football  season  against  Swarth- 
more  at  Kibler  Field.  The  Penn- 
sylvanians  won  14-7;  hope  history 
doesn't  repeat  itself. 

An  announcement  was  made 
that  Charles  B.  Clark  was  to  re- 
ceive his  Ph.  D.  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  North  Carolina  in  the 
Spring. 

Franklin  D.  Roosevelt  was  de- 
feated by  Wendell  Wilkie  in  a 
mock  election  on  the  campus  by 
a  vote  of  143  to  114. 

The  Business  Office  announced 
that  it  will  not  replace  any  moi-e 
doors  that  are  torn  down  after  the 
two  missing  ones  in  East  Hall  are 
fixed.  It  was  also  announced 
that  the  College  statutes  now  hold 
a  ruling  prohibiting  the  exploding 
of  fireworks  during  open  air  re- 
ligious peace  gatherings. 


Mt.  Vernon  Has  Open  House 

The  Mount  Vernon  Literary  So- 
ciety held  its  annual  open  house  in 
Hodson   Hall   Wednesday   night. 

The  open  house  featured  danc- 
ing and  refreshments.  This  dance 
was  the  first  of  a  number  of  in- 
formal dances  which  will  be  held 
in  the  Hodson  basement  lounge 
this  year. 


Gilded  Butterflies 

— By  Blom — 

There  is.  on  this  campus,  an  or- 
ganization whose  activities  have- 
long  been  a  source  of  embarras- 
sment to  me.  Having,  as  I  do.  an 
abiding  interest  in  plant  culture, 
I  looked  foi-ward  with  great  anti- 
cipation to  becoming  a  member 
of  The  Monticello  Botanical  So- 
ciety, when  I  first  came  to  college 
and  was  still  full  of  romantic  no- 
tions about  the  aims  of  organiza- 
tions. Imagine  my  surprise,  then, 
upon  attending  the  first  meeting, 
to  find  the  membei-s  discussing, 
not  the  rapid  encroachments  of 
Panicum  obtusum,  but  deeply  in- 
volved in  what  they  seemed  to 
think  was  an  important  event — 
the  publication  of  a  new  book  by 
Arnold  Toynbee.  Swallowing  my 
disappointment,  I  crept  away,  de- 
termined to  remain  loyal  to  Bot- 
any at  all  costs,  and  somewhat 
mollified  by  the  prospect  of  the 
next  meeting,  when  a  member  of 
the  faculty  planned  to  talk  on 
Carcx  microglochin  Wahl,  a 
sprightly    Canadian    sedge. 

In  the  spirit  of  the  thing  (and 
because  I  was  interested  in  sedges 
anyway)  I  read  all  about  False 
Uncinia  and  even,  after  several 
searches,  managed  to  find  a  sprig 
of  it  out  near  the  Ranch.  The  big 
evening  was  a  failure.  The  pro- 
fessor had  talked  about  ten  min- 
utea,  when  the  hostility  of  the  So- 
ciety dawned  on  him  and  he  sat 
down.  I  had  wanted  to  ask  a  few 
questions  but  before  I  knew  what 
had  happened  the  meeting  had  de- 
generated into  a  discussion  of 
Elizabethan  lyrics.  I  never  went 
back. 

However,  owing  to  curiosity  and 
a  lingering  sentiment,  I  have  fol- 
lowed the  Society's  activities  by 
reading  its  notices  on  the  bulletin 
board.  These  notices  make  it 
abundantly  clear  that  the  Society 
knows  nothing  about  plants,  and 
cannot  even  use  its  own  terminol- 
ogy correctly.  The  new  president 
of  the  group  has  never,  I  am  sure, 
even  seen  a  plant.  My  disillusion- 
ment is  complete  and  I  can  now 
appreciate  the  humor  of  Cc  lliin::.

Sho'  Legmen  Topple  Towson 


By  Joel  Guandolo 

The  "beef-trust"  takes  the  limeHght  tomorrow  as  the 
chains  fall  at  Kibler  field.  In  case  you  haven't  heard,  a 
MAD  bunch  of  Monteromen  are  planning  to  chase  the  so- 
called  Little  Quakers  back  to  their  Main  Line  showers.  The 
story  this  reporter  gets  stems  from  mid-week  communiques 
between  the  athletic  offices  of  W.  C.  and  Swarthmore.  It 
seems  that  either  Willis  Stetson,  Director  of  Swarthmore's 
athletic  department,  or  head  coach  Lewis  Elverson,  passed 
the  word  to  negotiate  no  football  contracts  for  1951-52  with 
the  Sho'men  until  after  the  game.  Needless  to  say,  Mou- 
tero's  squad  concluded  that  Swarthmore  was  putting  the 
game  on  a  "if  you  win  we  won't  play  you  anymore"  basis. 
The  majority  opinion  here  seems  to  be  "bury  'em  and  let  'em 
lie." 

Jack  Smith  pointed  out  columnwise  last  week  that  the 
Sho'men  were  being  coached  by  a  man  who  put  his  faith  in 
three  basic  rules — one  of  which  was  "being  a  good  sport." 
Ironicly  enough  on  the  following  day  the  Sho'  squad  was 
given  the  opportunity  to  see  their  coach,  Dim  Montero, 
practiced  what  he  preached. 

The  third  quarter  of  the  Lycoming  game  found  the 
Sho'men  scoring  their  thirty-second  point  with  promise  of 
many  more  to  come  when  coach  Montero  sent  word  to  stop 
the  TD  parade.  The  looks  of  surprise  and  disgust  quickly 
left  the  gridmen's  faces  when  they  learned  that  Montero 
was  thinking  of  the  Williamsport  students  who  were  mourn- 
ing the  recent  death  of  their  Dean. 


Lycommg 
Miller  -  Howard 


r§  Scalped; 

Wilson  Star 


By  Steve  McHale 

Washington  College  unleashed 
a  powei-ful  sing:]e-wing  attack  last 
Saturday  that  smothered  the  Ly- 
coming College  Warrioi-s  32-0  at 
Williamsport,  Pa. 

Spoetaciilav  running  by  Joe  Mil- 
ler and  Ken  Howard  plus  John 
Wilson's  fine  passing  gave  the 
I\Iaroon  and  Black  the  win.  Dim 
Montero  in  his  second  year  at  the 
helm  of  the  Shore  eleven  had  his 
charges  up  for  the  opener  and  they 
lost  no  time  going  to  work  on  the 
gold-clad  Warriors. 

Quick  Opening 
The  Sho'men  scored  before  the 
game  was  two  minutes  old.  Ken 
Howard  returned  the  opening 
kickoif  40  yards  to  the  Washington 
46  yard  line.  Sam  Greto  and 
Howard  in  five  trys  moved  the  bail 
to  the  Lycoming  38  yard  line. 
From  there,  Howard  broke  loose 
on  a  double  reverse  and  went  .34 
yards  to  the  Lycoming  4.  Wilson 
slanted  over  tackle  for  the  tally 
on  the  seventh  play  of  the  game, 
then  he  converted  the  point-after- 
touchdown  to  make  the  score  7-0, 
W.  C. 

The  Sho'men  had  another  scor- 
ing opportunity  moments  later 
when  Jim  Schafer  recovered  Her- 
bie  Eisenman's  kickoff  on  the  Ly- 
coming 25  yard  line.  "Little 
John"  Wilson  moved  the  ball  to 
the  13  in  three  tries  but  Davis,  a 
Blue  and  Gold  guard,  fell  on  Cre- 
te's fumble  at  the  10  and  Lycom- 
ing was  momentarily  out  of  dan- 
ger. 

Still  Moving 

Near  the  end  of  the  first  per- 
iod, W.  C.  started  to  move  again. 
Starting  from  the  Washington  40 
Ken  Howard  and  Wilson  alternat- 
ed in  gaining  a  first  down  on  the 
Lycoming  47  yard  line  as  the 
quarter  ended. 

On  the  first  play  after  the  teams 
changed  sides,  Howard  caught  a 
Wils-'n  tcss  on  the  Lycoming  15 
r   r'  'Ji  c  a'Hl  raced  untouched  Lo 


paydirt.     Wilson  again     convert- 
ed and  Washington  led  14-0, 

Lycoming  could  not  get  a  drive 
started  so  Bellak  punted  into  the 
end  zone.  The  ball  was  brought 
out  to  the  20  and  W.  C.  took  ov- 
er. The  second  play  from  scrim- 
mage, a  faked  reverse,  found  Joe 
Miller  scampering  73  yards  for  a 
TD  behind  the  fine  blocking  of 
Greto  and  Gardner.  W  ilson's 
placement  was  wide  and  the  score 
stood  Washington  College  20,  Ly- 
coming 0. 

Stellar  Sho'  Defense 
Excellent  defensive  play  by 
Eisenman  and  Smitty  Byham 
stalled  a  Wamor  drive  mid-way 
through  the  second  period  and  the 
Lycos  were  forced  to  kick.  Eisen- 
man returned  the  ball  15  yards  to 
the  W.  C.  25  yard  line.  Howard 
and  Wilson  combined  for  a  first 
down  on  the  33.  Then  came  the 
most  thrilling  play  of  the  game. 
Miller,  subbing  for  Wilson  at  tail- 
back, raced  around  his  own  left 
end  and  "set  sail"  for  the  goal 
line.  He  appeared  trapped  at 
mid-field  and  again  at  the  Lyco  40 
but  each  time  Miller  side-stepped 
would-be  tacklers  and  swivel-hip- 
ped 67  yards  for  his  second  touch- 
down of  the  afternoon  and  W. 
C.'s  fourth.  Wilson's  boot  was 
blocked  and  the  score  read  26-0 
as  the  half  ended. 

Final  Marker 
The  Sho'men  didn't  score  their 
final  marker  'til  near  the  end  of 
the  third  quarter.  Wayne  Mill- 
ner,  who  played  a  "bang-up"  game 
at  left-end.  fell  on  Bellak's  fum- 
ble at  the  Lyco  24  and  two  plays 
later  Washington  tallied  again, 
Wilson  tossing  to  Jack  Nncrelli 
for  the  score.  W.  C.  led  32-0  af- 
ter Wilson  missed  the  conversion 
attempt. 

Lycoming  threatened  late  in  the 
game   when   Boodon   blocked   Wil- 
son's quick  kick  and  Tierney  re- 
covered on  the  W.  C.  23,      Wash- 
(Contimied  on  Pngo  4) 


Swarthmore  Recruits 
To  Face  Monteromen 

(Continued   from   Front   Page) 

were  members  of  last  year's  elev- 
en and  will  be  aided  by  Miller,  a 
transfer  from  Columbia.  Swan 
is  stepping  in  as  signal  caller  for 
the  first  time. 

The  local  eleven  has  been  roll- 
ing through  spirited  workouts  this 
week  in  preparation  for  Satur- 
day's titt.  Mentor  Montero  has 
been  placing  special  emphasis  on 
passing  and  pass  defense.  With 
Wilson  "looking  good"  on  short 
passes  to  the  flat  and  ever  ready 


to  uncork  a  long  uik-,  tliis  week's 
air  attack  should  be  even  more 
impressive  than  last  week's  rec- 
ord of  five  completions  for  eleven 
tries. 

Little  John  Wilson  (see  cut) 
looks  like  a  real  triple-thr eater.  In 
addition  to  his  passes,  he  lugs  a 
lot  of  pigskin  and  also  handles  the 
brunt  of  the  punting. 

The  Monteromen  are  off  to  a 
flying  start.  The  Garnets  from 
Swarthmore  are  out  to  upset  the 
band-wagon.  This  Saturday  fans 
will  see  a  ball  game  and  a  half.

Bouncing  back  from  last  year's 
defeat  to  Towson,  the  maroon- 
clad  soccer  club  commanded  the 
situation  at  all  times  this  Wednes- 
day and  defeated  the  Teachers 
2-0.  This  win  gets  W.  C.  off  to 
a  good  start  and  raises  visions  of 
another  undefeated  season — a  re- 
peat performance  of  the  '47  sea- 
son. 

From  the  opening  kick-off  the 
Sho'men  out-played  and  out-hus- 
tled the  visitors.  The  inability  of 
the  line  to  "get  rolling"  kept  the 
score  relatively  close  through  the 
contest. 

Washington  College  first  dent- 
ed the  uprights  in  the  opening 
plays  of  the  second  quarter.  Jan- 
igan  broke  through  the  Towson 
kickofi"  and  his  teammates  showed 
fine  passing  as  they  moved  down 
the  field  and  set  up  the  score,  a 
short  boot  by  end  George  Horn. 

The  second  score  came  in  the 
third  period  with  Hennandez  re- 
ceiving credit  for  the  point.  The 
whole  line  was  fighting  the  score 
from  within  a  close  range.  There 
was  such  a  mad  scramble  on  the 
kick  that  Horn,  Freeman  or  Twil- 
ley  could  have  received  credit  for 
the  score. 

The  defense  was  superb  with 
Captain  Brower  performing  as 
last  year— the  offensive  playmak- 
er  and  defensive  spark-plug  of  the 
team.      Goalie  McHugh,  playing  in 


his  first  game,  made  several  fine 
stops  while  the  inner  defense  of 
Grim  and  Long  was  good. 

Experience  and  practice  work- 
ing together  should  develop  the 
line  into  the  finest  here  since  '47. 
At  spots,  the  end  of  the  first 
period,  the  beginning  of  the  sec- 
ond and  near  the  end  of  the  game 
the  line  clicked  beautifully. 

Freshmen  Tilley,  Branden- 
burg, first  gamer  McHugh  and 
transfer  Hemiandez  bolstered  the 
eleven  and  combined  with  the  old- 
timers,  should  present  a  tough 
time  for  our  opponents  in  the 
Mason-Dixon  Conference  again 
this  year. 

Tilley,  Hermandez  and  Bran- 
denburg give  the  favor,  footwork 
and  ball-handling  up  front  have 
aided  the  attack  of  the  club.  Horn 
and  Janigan  on  the  wings,  work 
well  with  the  newcomers. 

At  halfback,  Brower,  Ortel  and 
Hungerford  more  than  fill  the  bill 
with  Lingo  and  Duckworth  pro- 
viding the  reserve  strength.

Omicron  Delta  Kappa  requests 
all  campus  organizations  which 
expect  an  allotment  from  the  Stu-

audited  before  a  new  allotment 
can  be  made. 

Several  record  books  of  campus 
organizations  are  still  in  summer 
storage  at  the  Dean  of  Men's  of- 
fice. Secretaries  of  clubs  that 
are  missing  record  books  should

Jam  Session  To 
Sextet  Band 

A  sextet  dance  band  has  been 
added  to  the  Washington  College 
campus.  The  group  originated  in 
a  jam  session  and  has  grown  from 
this  origin  with  four  members  to 
the  present  total  of  six. 

The  members  are  all  Freshman 
except  Sophomore  Duke  Loyot 
who  plays  the  accordion.  The 
Frosh  members  are  Doug  Tilley, 
tenor  saxophone;  Ed  Burnham,  al- 
to and  baritone  saxophone;  John 
Newbold,  clarinet;  Jim  Metcalf, 
guitar,  and  George  Shelor  on  the

Jim  Metcalf  stated  that  the  band 
will  start  practices  on  Monday  in 
an  effort  to  fulfill  several  tentative 
contracts   already   offered   them. 

With  the  strictly  reeds  and 
rhythm  combination  the  group 
hopes  to  develop  a  unique  college 
band.  One  of  the  members  was 
quoted  as  saying  "the  aim  of  our 
group  is  to  hire  ourselves  out  in 
an  effort  to  earn  money  while  hav- 
ing fun.

A.  0.  Pi  Becomes  Foster 
Parent  To  War  Orphan 

Alpha  Omicron  Pi  has  complet- 
ed the  final  arrangements  for  the 
adoption  of  a  war  orphan  under 
the  Foster  Parents'  Plan  For  War 
Children. 

Last  year,  the  sorority  decided 
to  set  as  its  major  goal  the  collec- 
tion of  the  one  hundred  eighty 
dollars  necessary  to  present  appli- 
cation for  a  foster  child.  Much 
of  the  amount  was  obtained 
through  the  presentation  of  a 
bazaar  held  last  November.  The 
rest  of  the  money  was  earned 
through  bake  sales  and  raffles. 

Under  the  Foster  Parents'  Plan, 
the  adoption  is  financial  only,  and 
the  ?180  provides  for  a  child  for 
a  year.  The  child  is  given  food, 
clothing,  shelter,  medical  aid, 
schooling,  and  instruction  in  his 
own  religion. 

Now  that  the  A.  0.  Pi's  have 
made  application,  they  will  re- 
ceive from  headquarters  the  his- 
tory and  picture  of  the  child  they 
have  adopted.

A  unique  publicity  campaign

a  Washington  College  favorite, 
Al  Green.  Ticket  prices  were  set 
this  year  at  §1.75  per  couple  and

Added  To  Force 

Ml-.  William  C.  Bitler,  Custodian 
of  the  Grounds,  announced  this 
week  that  a  new  night  watchman 
has  been  added  to  the  force,  bring- 
ing the  total  to  three.  This  has 
been  done  in  order  to  make  the 
fire  prevention  program  at  Wash- 
ington College  more  efficient.  Mr. 
E.  R.  Simpkins,  retired  grocer  and 
farmer  of  the  locali>%  was  select- 
ed to  fill  the  new  position. 
12  Hour  Coverage 

With  the  former  force  of  two 
men,  there  was  only  a  nine  hour 
coverage  of  the  campus.  The  now 
plan  will  allow  a  12  hour  cover- 
age each  night.  This  over-all  pro- 
tection allows  the  college  to  have 
a  lower  rate  on  its  insurance  pol- 
icy. Investigators  of  the  insur- 
ance company  handling  the  Wasli- 
ington  College  accunt  usually  in- 
vestigate the  fire  prevention  set- 
up at  the  school  once  or  twice  a 
month. 

The    only   buildings    on    campus 
not  covered   by  the    night  watch- 
men are  the      fraternity     houses. 
These  are  considered  private. 
Last  Fire  In  Bill  Smith 

The  last  case  of  a  major  fire  on 
the  Washington  College  Campus 
occurred  more  than  twenty-five 
years  ago  when  William  Smitli 
Hall  burned  to  the  ground. 

Veteran  night  watchmen  on  the 
force  are  Dan  Wiley  and  John 
Kelley,  each  of  whom  have  been 
here  for  several  years. 


STUDENT    FELLOWSHIP    TEA 

The  first  Student  Fellowship 
Tea  of  the  year  will  be  held  on 
Sunday,  October  15,  at  5  P.  M.,  in 
Christ  Methodist  Church.  Profes- 
sor Barnett  will  be  the  principle 
speaker.  A  salad  supper  will  be 
seiwed. 

These  teas  are  held  every  year 
by  the  two  Methodist  churches  of 
Chestertown.  They  are  held  al- 
ternately in  each  church  every 
other  week.  Everyone,  regardless 
T.'  re'iTi'  n,  is  ;irgi.-J  and  invited  by

Announcement  of  the  1950-61 
fraternity  rush  rules  was  made 
this  week  by  Sonny  Larimore,

ed to  the  following  statements  con- 
cerning absences  from  classes.

Dr.  Gibson  Attends  Conference 


Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson,  President 
of  Washington  College  attended 
the  Conference  on  Higher  Educa- 
tion in  the  National  Service  called 
by  the  American  Council  on  Edu- 
cation for  October  6th  and  7th  in 
Washington,  D.  C. 

The  purpose  of  the  conference 
was  to  discuss  the  methods  by 
which  American  universities  and 
colleges  can  best  contribute  to  na- 
tional mobilization. 

General  Lewis  B.  Hershey,  dir- 
ector of  Selective  Service,  and 
principal  speaker,  announced  his 
general  approval  of  the  college 
proposed  plan  for  "selective  de- 
ferment of  students,"  The  plan 
briefly  is  this: 

Students    To    Be    Tested 

All  incoming  college  students 
would  be  given  a  general  classifi- 
cation test;  a  score  of  120  or  above 
would  entitle  the  student  to  enter 
or  continue  school.  His  course  of 
study  would  have  no  bearing  on 
his  eligibility.  (Here  an  economic 
element  is  involved:  If  a  student 
makes  a  high  score  but  cannot  af- 
ford to  go  to  college,  a  proposed 
Federal  Scholarship  Bill  will  aid 
him,  if  passed). 

To  continue  his  studies,  howev- 
er, the  freshman  must  rank  abc/ve 
the  50th  percentile  of  his  class:  a 
sophomore  above  the  33rd  per- 
centile and  a  junior  above  the 
25th  percentile.  It  must  be  un- 
derstood that  this  is  merely  a  plan, 
and  is  not  yet  a  law. 

Also  heard  at  the  conference 
were  speakers  representing  the 
Secretary  of  Defence,  the  Na- 
'.i'jnal   Secnriy  Resources      Bo:t"d 


and,  in  person,  Earl  McGrath, 
Commissioner  of  Education. 
400  Colleges  Represented 
Over  960  educators  were  in  at- 
tendance including  over  400  col- 
lege presidents  representing  46 
states.     It  was  the  second     sucli 


DR.   DANIEL   GIBSON 

conference  within  a  decade,  the 
fii-st  being  held  shortly  after  the 
U.  S.  entry  into  World  War  II. 

Dr.  Gibson,  who  termed  the 
conference  "very  useful  and  very 
valuable"  attended  committee 
meetings  on  military  and  other 
training  programs. 

Before  attending  the  confer- 
ence. Dr.  Gibson  represented 
Washington  College  in  the  instal- 
lation ceremonies  of  Milton  Eisen- 
hower as  Presider.t  of  Pennsyl- 
vania Siatc  College. 


of  Towson  High  School,  was  guest 
speaker  at  the  assembly.  He  re- 
ceived an  honorary  tapping  for 
membership  in  ODK. 

Omici-on  Delta  Kappa  is  a  na- 
tional honorary  fraternity  which 
originated  at  Washington  and  Lee 
Univei"sity.  Its  purpose  is  to 
recognize  and  foster  leadership 
and  to  honor  those  men  who  are 
outstanding  as  campus  leader?. 
Members  are  selected  on  a  basis  of 
points  acquired  by  participation  in 
college  activities. 

Three  Members  Left 

Graduation  in  1950  reduced  the 
fraternity  to  three  student  mem- 
bers— Eddie  Leonard,  president, 
Duke  Case,  vice-president,  and 
Fillmore  Dryden.  Dr.  Charles  B. 
Clark,  Dean  of  Men,  is  secretary- 
treasurer  while  Athletic  Director 
Edward  L.  Athey  is  faculty  advis- 
or. 

On  the  Washington  College 
Campus  ODK  has  undertaken  a 
number  of  activities  usually  asso- 
ciated with  a  student  government 
association.  Its  major  function 
at  present  is  the  distribution  and 
allotment  of  the  Student  Activity 
Fund  to  the  organizations  on  the 
campus, 

Supervises   Elections 

ODK  supervises  the  elections  of 
class  officers  and  in  the  spring  it 
awards  Extra-Curricular  Activi- 
ties Keys  to  outstanding  students. 
The  group  also  led  the  drive  re- 
sulting in  the  establishment  of  the 
Snack  Bar  in  William  Smith  Hall, 


Pre-Professional  Test 
To  Be  Given  Nov,  6-19 

Attention  of  juniors  and  seniors 
is  called  to  the  pre-professional 
tests  which  are  being  given  this 
year.  A  student  who  is  consid- 
ering applying  for  admission  to  a 
professional  school  this  coming 
year  should  take  the  tests  since  the 
tests  are  regarded  as  an  import- 
ant factor  in  admission. 

The  following  are  the  first  dates 
that  examinations  will  be  given: 

Medical  College  Admission  Test 
— Monday,  November  6,  1950, 
Apply  no  later  than  October  23, 
1950, 

Dental  School  Admission  Test 
— Thanksgiving  vacation.  Apply 
no  later  than  November  8,  1950. 

Law  School  Admission  Test — 
Sunday,  November  19,  1950.  Ap- 
ply no  later  than  November  8, 
1950. 

Candidates  for  these  tests 
should  consult  Dean  Livingood  for 
more   complete  information. 


0.  D.  K.  Makes  Request 

ODK  requests  all  organizations 
that  want  allotments  this  year  to 
get  in  contact  with  it  at  once. 
This  must  be  done  so  that  ODK 
can  make  out  the  year's  budget.

FRIDAY,     OCT.     13,     1950 


WHAT'S., ..IN. ..A. ..NAME? 


Anyone  can  look  up  the  propev 
names  of  their  friends  in  a  dic- 
tionary and  find  out  that  some 
great  Roman  or  French  scholar 
said  such  and  such  a  name  meant 
so  and  so.  But  .  .  -  did  you  ever 
try  to  look  up  the  nicknames  of 
some  of  your  fellow  coUegrians  and 
find  out  what  they  leally  meant? 
Best  way  to  do  it  is  to  go  up  and 
ask  such  charactei-s  as  "Choo 
Choo",  "Mole",  and  "Froggy", 
and  find  out  where  in  the  world 
they  picked  up  their  name  tags. 

Seems  that  "Choo  Choo"  for- 
merly known  as  Joel  was  playing 
basketball  so  hard  one  day  that  he 
knocked  poor  Me!  Morgan  clear 
through  the  swinging  doors  of  the 
gym  and  left  him  in  a  stunned 
heap.  As  Mel  picked  himself  up 
he  muttered  something  about  be- 
ing hit  by  a  train  .  .  .  hence  the 
name  "Choo  Choo." 

"Mole"  Janigan  claims  relation 
to  a  certain  furry  animal  that 
makes  long  ridges  in  the  front 
lawn.  "Just  between  the  eyes, 
that  is."  As  for  Froggy — he 
doesn't  claim  any  relatives  in  the 
animal  world  but  you  might  ask 
his  fraternity  brothers.  There 
seem  to  be  two  stories  on  how  he 
picked  up  his  name.  Froggy  says, 
"One  of  my  pals  gave  me  that  be- 
cause I  called  him  'Bull'."  Who 
knows? 

Then  there's  the  guy  Al  Capp 
borrowed  for  a  model  for  his  car- 


toon strip.  Who  else  .  .  .  Kigmy, 
of  course.  Or  "Mumbles",  the 
"Freshman  dream  boy".  Did  you 
or  did  you  not  say  that  you  would 
answer  by  telephone? 

We  can't  omit  the  girls  and 
their  nicknames  here.  Most  fam- 
ous, of  coui-se,  is  Mackey  Metcalfe 
as  "Miss  Chestevtown !"  That's 
obvious  enough  ...  she  lives  here! 
Or  "Punchy"  Shenton.  That's 
obvious,  too  .  .  .  are  there  brains 
beneath  those  blonde  tresses.  Miss 
S.? 

Then  there's  the  inseparable 
pair  of  "Sam  Spade"  and  "Kutz." 
Sam's  story  goes  to  the  effect  that 
he  was  always  borrowing  "Wild- 
root  Cream  Oil"  for  that  beautiful 
black  hair.  Of  course,  he's  the 
detective  type  too!?  And  Kutz 
.  .  .  you  have  to  beg  for  the  origin 
of  his  nickname.  Ask  him  if  he's 
ticklish   and   see  what   happens. 

Well,  now  you  know  what  to 
do  the  next  time  you  run  into 
someone  with  a  name  that  doesn't 
sound  just  quite  normal.  Here's 
some  names  around  school  you  can 
work  on,  too.  They  have  a  good 
history  .  .  .  "Rip"  Wood  (don't 
ask  him  about  "Daddy"),  "Duke" 
Johnson,  "Blimp"  Elliott.  "Bo" 
Dyer,  and  last  but  not  least  .  .  . 
"Pancho"  ,  .  .  our  newest  soccer 
sensation.  Lots  of  luck  to  you 
but  don't  forget  .  .  .  stand  your 
distance.  Some  of  these  names 
have  a  deep  dark  history.

have  a  good  explanation  of  this. 

Tom  Benson  certainly  is  getting 
religion  these  days.  He  went  to 
church  not  once  but  twice  last 
Sunday,  Maybe  its  the  good  in- 
fluence of  the  Freshmen  girls. 

It  would  be  a  good  idea  if 
"Eeecie"  would  make  announce- 
ments at  second  chow  every  night. 
Her  presence  really  adds  some- 
thing.

Although  he  spends  a  good  bit  of 
his  time  on  Senior  class  work,  he 
can  always  find  time  for  music,  as 
he  has  an  admirable  collection  of 
classical  and  semi-classical  rec- 
ords. 

Sandy  has  an  extensive  back-' 
ground,  in  both  education  and  thi? 
Service.  He  started  out  at  the 
Virginia  Polytechnic  Institute,  but 
then  inteiTupted  his  education  to 
serve  two  years  in  the  Infantry. 
After  receiving  a  discharge  he 
went  to  Salisbury  State  Teachers 
College,  then  he  came  to  Washing-

From  The  Files 


GILDED  BUTTERFLIES 


-By  Blom- 


Last  week  Sandy  Jones  came 
out  mth  his  constitution  pulled 
low  over  his  eyes,  his  cap  pistols 
blazing,  and  a  wicked-looking  rub- 
ber bowie  knife  stuck  in  his  Bus- 
ter Brown  boot.  I  escaped  some- 
how, though,  and  feel  safe  enough 
in  my  hideout  to  make  some  com- 
ments. 

Despite  the  devilish  cleverness 
of  Jones,  his  dismal  doggerel  does 
not  obscure  his  loping  logic,  as  he 
probably  hoped  it  would.  There 
are  any  number  of  Latin  terms 
commonly  in  use  to  designate  fal- 
lacies— non  sequitur,  argumentum 
ad  hominem,  and  so  forth,  but  I 
haven't  enough  space  to  catalog 
the  sloppy  peregrinations  of  his 
mind.  The  one  pathetic  point 
that  seems  to  struggle  most  often 
through  the  turgid  morass  of  his 
rhymed  prose  (if  it  can  conscion- 
ably  be  called  prose;  it  certainly 
isn't  verse)  is  that  he  means  to  pay 
no  attention  to  me.  That.  I  think, 
would  have  been  wise,  since  it  is 
always  wise  for  politicians  to  ig- 
nore troublemakers  such  as  I  am. 
But  why  did  Jones  go  to  so  much 
trouble  and  take  so  much  space  to 


ignore  me?  Well,  I  do  not  intend 
to  ignore  him,  because  I  am  in- 
tensely opposed  to  what  I  regard 
as  a  high  school  exercise  in  "civ- 
ics." Furthermore  I  do  not  share 
Jone's  laudable  virtues  of  fore- 
bearance  and  tolerance,  just  as  I 
do  not  shave  his  Messianic  proc- 
livities (all  of  which  he  enumer- 
ated for  us  last  week). 

Just  for  the  record  I  would  like 
Jones  to  point  out  my  absurdities 
and  my  paradoxes  (they  exist,  but 
I  doubt  if  he  can  see  them).  I 
would  like  him  to  give  one  in- 
stance of  my  having  asked  him  fof 
advise.  As  for  arguing — that 
happened  but  once,  at  which  t^ne 
Jones  went  away  after  I  kept  ask- 
ing "Why?"     Try  it  some  time. 

I  wonder  how  it  speaks  for  the 
College  to  have  an  English  major 
of  above  average  intelligence  write 
such  poor  vei-se  as  Jones  does?  He 
confided  to  me  later  that  what  he 
wrote  had  some  connection  with 
Eighteenth  Century  poetry.  I  can 
only  conclude  that  Jones  doesn't 
know  anything  about  Eighteenth 
Century  poeti-y.  in  sp'te  of  his  hav- 
ing a  better  scholastic  record  than

By  Sandy   Reeder 

Both  students  and  faculty  have 
been  concerned  recently  about  the 
illness  of  Mrs.  Minnie  T.  Willson, 
Matron  of  Reid  Hall.  Recent  re- 
ports from  the  hospital  indicate 
her  present  condition  is  believed 
good,  and  she  will  soon  be  able  to 
receive  visitoi-s. 

"Mother  Tilinnie".  as  she  is 
known  to  all  the  students,  is  a 
native  of  Trappe,  Maryland,  on 
the  Eastern  Shore.  She  has  spent 
twenty  years  in  the  service  of  the 
school.  She  first  came  to  the  col- 
lege as  a  nurse  to  help  during  a 
flu  epidemic  when  Dr.  Simpei-s  ob- 
tained her  services  to  aid  In  car- 
ing for  Reid  Hall  girls.  Her  work 
proved  so  successful  that  Dr.  Tits- 
worth.  President  of  the  College  at 
that  time,  offered  her  the  position 
of  housemother  for  Reid  Hall. 

When  the  new  dining  hall  was 
opened.  Mi's.  Willson  was  asked  to 
aid  in  its  organization.     For  three 


months,  she  was  in  charge  of  Hod- 
son  Hall  and  from  time  to  time 
was  called  upon  to  help  with  the 

management. 

She  has  also  planned  many  of 
the  college  banquets  and  func- 
tions. She  was  interested  in  the 
alumni  banquets  particularly  be- 
cause she  likes  to  greet  former 
graduates  and  friends. 

Mrs.  Willson  had  continued  her 
work  until  her  recent  illness  de- 
spite impaired  eyesight. 

A  report  from  the  hospital  dem- 
onstrates that  she  still  has  her  old 
"Mother  Minnie"  touches  that 
have  distinguished  her  at  school. 
She  has  adorned  the  top  of  her 
hair  with  a  yellow  ribbon  which 
she  requests  remain  there  because 
she  "likes  it."

Bridgemrater-Sko'meii  To  Clash 


By  Joel  Guandolo 

Revenge  via  the  gridiron  is  satisfying  but  occasionally 
a  team  forgets  that  rivals  differ  and  the  Saturday  squads  of 
weeks  to  come  can  catch  fire  and  burn  a  bandwagon  to  the 
turf.  The  national  football  I'esults  this  past  week-end 
substantiated  this  claim  and  reminded  one  and  all  that  pre- 
dicting and  pool-guessing  with  the  leaders  is  tough. 

After  picking  only  eight  for  twelve,  this  scribe  has  to 
pass  along  and  thank  the  Maryland  Terps  for  their  con- 
tribution and  blame  the  losses  on  wet  grounds  or  some  oth- 
er face-saving  excuses. 

Drexel  has  been  labeled  the  team  to  beat  and  rightly 
so.  The  Swarthmore  game  attracted  three  Philadelphia 
scouts  who  will  probably  follow  the  Sho'men  right  up  to 
their  October  28th  contest.  Field  power  of  the  Drexel 
eleven  can  be  determined  by  noting  their  13-7  win  over 
Gettysburg  last  week. 

Keep  an  eye  on  that  husky  fullback  Sam  Greto  to- 
morrow and  for  the  rest  of  the  season.  This  driving 
Chester,  Pa.  star  "is  beginning  to  show  the  great  prom- 
ise" that  Coach  Montero  predicted  for  him  when  he  intro- 
duced the  gridder  to  the  Shore  League.  Few  fans  rea- 
lized last  season  that  this  pigskin  idolizer  played  the  major- 
ity of  his  games  under  tape.  If  the  medics  stay  away  from 
his  door,  the  Big  "S"  will  roll. 

The  Shore  eleven  dedicated  their  Swarthmore  win  to  a 
renowned  fighting  fullback  who  has  teamed  with  the  locals 
for  the  past  two  years.  Late  in  the  '49  season,  a  knee  in- 
jury was  suffered  by  this  pigskinner  and  a  summer  opera- 
tion followed.  The  doctors  advised  this  true  lover  of  the 
sport,  Jim  Eiring,  never  to  play  football  again. 


Athey's  Boaters  Meet 
Mighty  Bucknel  Today 

The  Sho'men  hooters  travel  to 
Bucknel  University  today  to  tackle 
one  of  the  strongest  teams  on  the 
schedule  this  year.  W.  C.'s  trusts 
would  like  nothing  better  than  to 
take  Bucknell  for  a  win  .  .  .  the 
biggest  win  on  the  yet — young 
season. 

Bucknell  started  its  season  labt 
week-end  by  giving  Penn  State 
their  warm-up  game.  Penn  State, 
last  year's  national  champions, 
thoroughly  trounced  Buckneil 
11-2.  This  score  should  lead  no 
one  to  think  the  team  a  pushover, 
Penn  State  is  perhaps  the  coun- 
try's best  team  and  Bucknell  gave 
them  a  better  game  than  the  score 
showed. 

Washington  College  played 
Bucknell  once  before.  In  1948 
the  Shoremen  came  up  with  a  2-1 
triumph  on  Kibler  Field.  The 
squad  is  at  its  best  since  1947  and 
this  game  is  one  of  the  "big  tests" 
this  season. 


Pep  Rally 

A  Vanity  Club  planned  pep- 
rally  is  scheduled  for  tonight  in 
Bill  Smith  auditorium.  The  foot- 
ball team  is  expected  to  be  there 
and  Coach  Montero  will  address 
the  student  body,  Lee  Cook,  pres- 
ident, announced. 


Hopkins  Bows  To  Legmen 

The  Atheymen  returned  Wed- 
nesday with  their  second  win  in  as 
many  starts  as  mighty  Johns  Hop- 
kins bowed  in  the  mud  to  the 
Shore  legmen  3-2. 

Late   Rally    Saves    The    Dajr 

Early  in  the  fourth  period  a 
hands  penalty  was  called  against 
the  Baltimore  Bluejays  who  were 
leading  1-0.  Captain  Brower 
kicked  a  marker  into  the  upper 
left  corner  on  the  Sho'men's  free 
try  to  tie  the  score.  The  hustling 
eleven  fought  to  set  up  a  sure  mar- 
gin of  victory  but  the  sharp  Hop- 
kins' goalie,  Roesch,  stopped  shot 
after  shot.  Finally  the  locals'  per- 
sistent offense  "paid  off",  and 
Horn  (0.  R.)  struck  from  the 
outside.  Seconds  later  Herman- 
uez  took  a  precision  kick  from  Til- 
ley  and  went  on  to  net  the  Shore- 
men's third  goal.  ,  Ealtimorean 
■Eudnit/.  scored  in  the  late  minutes 
but  the  locals  were  not  to  be  de- 
nied. 

Score  Not  Indicative 
The  Atheymen  topped  the  Bal- 
timorcans  by  one  point,  although, 
the  field  play  of  the  twg  clubs  was 
not  this  close.  The  Hopkins'  line 
played  fair  while  the  backs, turned 
ill  a,  performance  considered  poor 
by  most  observers.  The  ,  stellar, 
cat-liks:  play  of  |the  Jay's  , goalie 
stood  out  along  with  the  center- 
halfing  of  Williamson  who  exhib- 

.    ited  a  powe^'ful  left  foot.

Quakers  Plowed  Under  By  Sho'men 
Fall  Planting    Score  32  To  0  Sat, 


Washington  College  scored  its 
second  victory  of  the  young  sea- 
son last  Saturday  by  swamping 
Swarthmore  (Pa.)  College  32-0. 
The  game  was  close  for  the  first 
three  quarters  but  in  the  final  ses- 
sion Washington  power  was  evi- 
denced when  the  Sho'men  tallied 
20  points  to  break  the  contest  wide 
open. 

Pace  Setter  ' 

Joe  Miller,  sensational  newcom- 
er to  the  Shore,  paced  the  Maroon 
and  Black  with  3  touchdowns 
while  Ken  Howard  and  Herb 
Eisenman  contributed  one  apiece. 
John  Wilson  connected  with  G  of 
12  passes,  one  going  for  a  score, 
and  booted  two  extra  points. 

The  Sho'men  garnered  their  ini- 
tial T.  D.  midway  in  the  second 
quarter.  Miller  tallied  from  the 
Garnet  6-yard  marker  on  the  an- 
cient Statue  of  Liberty  play.  For 
the  rest  of  the  first  half  the  teams 
were  stalemated,  neither  being 
able  to  get  a  scoring  drive  under 
way. 

Late  in  the  3rd  period  Miller 
took  a  16-yard  Wilson  aerial  for 
the    second   countei       iMillei    add- 


ed his  third  T.  D.  on  a  ten  yard 
jaunt  around  left  end  two  plays 
after  the  final  period  began,  Wil- 
son kicked  the  placement. 

George  Plochai-ski  recovered 
Dana  Swan's  fumble  of  a  Wilson 
punt  at  the  Swarthmore  11  to  set 
up  the  fourth  Washington  tally. 
Four  plays  later  Ken  Howard 
slanted  over  tackle  from  the  one- 
yard  line.  Wilson  again  convert 
ed  and  the  score  stood  26-0,  Wash- 
ington. 

With  a  minute  and  25  seconds 
remaining,  defensive  standout. 
Herb  Eisenman,  intercepted  a 
Swan  pitch  and  galloped  33  yards 
to  the  Quaker  12.  In  3  carries 
Eisenman  rammed  over  for  the 
final  touchdown. 

MinuB  One  Yard 

In  the  statistics  department,  as 
in  the  scoring,  the  Sho'men  held  a 
wide  edge  over  the  Little  Quakers. 
W.  C.  rolled  up  242  yards  on  the 
ground  and  137  via  the  air  lanes. 
The  defensive  unit  led  by  Jack 
Nacrelli  and  Joe  Ingarra,  held 
Swarthmore  to  a  net  yardage  of 
minus  one  ( — 1)  rushing  and  a 
mere  1-1  yards  passing. 


Virginia  Bone  Crushers  Out  To 
Avenge  26-0  Defeat  Of  Last  Year 

The  maroon  clad  Sho'men  take  the  field  tomorrow 
thrusting  their  scoreless,  undefeated  skins  against  a  bone- 
crushing  crew  from  Bridgewater  who  will  try  to  avenge  the 
26-0  drubbing  they  took  from  the  locals  last  year. 

Enthusiasm  on  campus  has 
reached  a  new  peak  what  with 
John  Wilson,  Joe  Miller  and  Ken- 
ny Howard  rolling  up  the  T.  D.'s, 
and  Bennett,  Gardener,  Ingarra, 
and  Cannone  playing  great  de- 
fensive ball. 

T-Leader  And  T.  D.i 

Wilson,  leading  the  team  from 
the  T-formation  quarterback  slot 
has  scored  two  touchdo^vn3  al- 
ready and  passed  for  three  more. 
John's  punting  also  rates  some 
mention.  In  four  trys  against 
Swarthmore  last  week  he  averag- 
ed 42.5  yards  per  punt. 

The  two  year  old  Eagle  squad 
will  field  an  offensive  line  that 
will  find  Corbett  at  center  flank- 
ed by  Tuturler  and  Metzer  at 
guards.  Callahan,  the  "heavy"  of 
the  line  at  210,  will  team  up  with 
Dahl  at  tackles.  The  end  posi- 
tions will  be  held  down  by  Jenkins 
and  Gorct. 

Co-captain,  Bowers,  directs  the 
team  from  the  quarterback  posi- 
tion where  he  throws  a  lot  of  pig- 
skins. At  the  half-back  spots  will 
be  Myers  and  Naylor  with  a  fresh- 
man sensation,  Roger,  in  reserve, 
Dick  Dull  will  handle  the  fullback- 
ing  chores. 

Battle  Of  The  Air-Wsya 

This  week's  encounter  promises 
to  be  a  battle  of  the  air-ways  as 
Coaches  Montero  and  Apichella  de- 
terminly  go  ahead  with  their 
plans  to  put  Washington  College 
on  the  NATIONAL  football  map. 


Harriers  Win 

The  Washington  College  cross- 
country team  scored  an  impres- 
sive victory  last  Monday  on  a 
rough,  rain  soaked  Gallaudet  Col- 
lege course  by  defeating  the  boys 
from  the  Capitol  city,  19  to  42. 
Led  B7  Dryden 

Led  by  Captain  Fillmore  Dry- 
den, who  won  his  race  by  a  con- 
siderable margin,  the  team  had 
little  trouble  winning  its  initial 
meet  of  the  season.  Second  and 
third  places  went  to  Paul  Becker 
and  Tom  Benson  who  are  veterans 
of  last  year's  squad.  Gallaudet 
then  placed  two  men,  John  Tic- 
biero  and  Boy  Boley,  followed  by 
Jack  McCollough,  George  Eikel- 
berger,  Ellsworth  Boyd  and  Bill 
Landon,  all  of  Washington  Col- 
lege, The  remaining  Gallaudet 
runners  straggled  in  far  behind. 
Gallaudet   Sets    Fast    Pace 

The  Gallaudet  team  set  a  fast 
pace  at  the  outset  of  the  three 
and  one  half-mile  run.  However, 
at  the  half-way  mark  Dryden  grad- 
ually increased  his  stride  and  had 
no  challengers  for  the  remainder 
of  the  race.  Tiebiero,  the  losers' 
number  one  man,  was  soon  passed 
by  Becker  and  Benson  with  the 
rest  of  the  Maroon  and  Black  ag- 
gregation close  behind.  Although 
several  of  the  Sho'men  became 
lost  in  the  deep  woods  through 
which  the  course  was  run,  they 
blazed  new  trails  and  rejoined  the 
race,  most  of  which  was  run  in  a 
steady  rain. 

To  Meet  Loyola 

The  harriers  have  been  vigor- 
ously training  all  week  for  their 
toughest  duel  meet  of  the  season 
tomorrow  with  Loyola  College. 
Other  members  of  the  squad  are 
Fred  LaWali,  Joe  Capobtanco, 
Chan  Chapman,  and  Harold  Gar- 
rett.

Freshman  Bruehl  Elected  Alice  From 
Wonderland  At  Sophomore   Dance 


Pat  Bruehl,  Freshman  coed  from 
Baltimore,  was  the  surprise  Alice 
from  Wonderland  at  the  Sopho- 
more's Mad  Hatter  Dance  Satur- 
day night.  Pat  had  been  previ- 
ously elected  by  the  Sophomore 
class  officers  but  her  identity  was 
kept  a  secret  until  the  Mad  Hatter, 
Mole  Jannigan,  acting  as  master 
of  ceremonies,  presented  her  to  the 
dancers. 

Pat  had  to  come  through  a  rab- 
bit hole  to  face  her  public  so  that 
her  entrance  would  conform  with 
the  general  theme  of  Alice's  trip 
to  Wonderland.  The  rabbit  at 
the  doorway,  the  playing  cards  on 
the  walls,  and  the  silvery  branches 
were  all  in  keeping  with  Alice's 
dream  and  created  a  properly  fan- 
tastic atmosphere. 

Fun  during  the  intermission  was 
provided  by  Duke  Case,  Bill  Rus- 
sell, and  Mole  Jannigan,  who  per- 
formed various  comical  skits,  and 
by  the  judging  of  the  "hard  to 
choose  from"  hats. 

Mel  Littleton  and  Jane  Mills 
won  the  prize  for  the  cleverest 
idea  with  their  ball  and  chain 
chapeaux  and  received  an  appro- 
priate rolling-pin  as  a  reward. 
Margie  Wilding's  creation  was 
juged  the  most  original,  and  Dick 
Skipp's  the  funniest.  Mackey 
Metcalfe  also  won  a  prize,  a 
baby  bib,  for  being  the  first  to 
guess  Alice's  identity.  The  judg- 
es included  Dr.  Clark,  Coach  Dim 
Montero  and  Sophomore  President 
John  Grim. 

The  Sophomores  received  many 
compliments  for  their  ingenuity  in 
decorating  and  the  perseverance 
shown  in  selling  tickets  for  this 
dance  which  began  the  social  sea- 
son of  the  fii-st  semester.

The  Alpha  Omega  Nu  Fraterni- 
ty formally  initiated  the  fratern- 
ity social  season  last  Sunday  af- 
ternoon with  the  first  Open  House 
of  the  year. 

The  affair  was  well  attended  by 
faculty  members,  students,  and 
parents.  Guests  were  conducted 
through  the  house  while  a  variety 
of  refreshments  were  served. 

The  local  fraternity  moved  into 
its  new  quarters  this  past  Septem- 
ber. The  house,  previously  used 
as  a  men's  dormitory  known  as 
"Jones  Hall",  has  been  completely 
remodeled  through  the  combined 
efforts  of  the  chapter  and  the  Col- 
lege administration.  The  im- 
provements included  the  removal 
of  two  wall  partitions,  an  interior 
repainting  job,  and  the  laying  of 
p,  new  lile  floor  in  the  front  room. 

Officers  of  the  fraternity  for  the 
year  include  Beniie  Rudo,  Presi- 
dent; Sid  Bare,  Vice-President; 
Bill  Trueth,  Secretary;  and  Paul 
Sadiek,  Treasurer. 


IFCToHoldRC. 
Queen  Elections 

The  Interfraternity  Council  will 
sponsor  the  election  of  the  Home- 
coming Queen  and  her  Court,  it 
was  announced  this  week  by  Son- 
ny Larimore,  President  of  IPC. 
This  popular  contest  was  begun 
by  IFC  three  years  ago  and  has 
become  an  annual  affair. 

The  program  for  1950  is  simi- 
lar to  the  past  system  and  oper- 
ates as  follows:  As  now  set  up, 
there  will  be  a  Queen,  who  must 
be  a  Senior.  Junior,  or  Sophomore; 
two  other  girls,  also  upperclass- 
men,  who  will  be  on  the  Queen's 
Court;  and  one  Freshman  girl,  al- 
so on  the  Court. 

The  Queen  and  the  two  upper-  I 
class  girls  elected  to  her  court  will 
be  named  by  upperclass  students. 
The  Freshman  representative  will 
be  chosen  by  the  Freshman  class 
at  a  separate  voting  booth. 

In  the  nomination,  or  primary. 
election,  to  be  held  Tuesday,  Octo- 
ber 30,  upperclassmen  will  vote 
for  the  girls  of  their  choice  sim- 
ply by  \viiting  the  gill's  name  on 
the  ballot.  The  three  girls  with 
the  highest  number. of  votes  will 
be  the  contestants  for  the  Crown. 
The  girl  in  the  Freshman  class  re- 
ceiving the  highest  number  of 
votes  will  automatically  become  a 
member  of  the  Queen's  Court. 
There  will  be  no  run-off  election 
i  nthe  Fieshman  class. 

On  Tuesday,  November  7,  up- 
perclassmen will  again  go  to  the 
polls  and  elect  one  of  the  three 
girls  nominated  in  the  primary  to 
reign  over  the  Homecoming. 

The  results  of  the  election  will 
be  published  in  the  Elm  on  Fri- 
day, November  10,  Homecoming 
Eve.

who  cannot  possibly  be  present 
when  they  are  scheduled  to  be 
photographed  should  contact  Lar- 
ry Westcott  as  soon  as  possible  so 
that  the  change  in  schedule  may 
be  made.  It  is  essential  that  ev- 
eryone be  on  time  for  their  ap- 
pointments. Students  will  be  ex- 
cused from  classes  only  for  the 
five  or  ten  minutes  required  to 
take  the  pictures. 

The  following  is  the  general  pro- 
cedure for  photographs.  For  a

Freshmen  Hold  Secret  Meetmg  In 
Foxwell  To  Overthrow  Soph  Rule 

Freshman  hazing  reached  an  all  time  high  on  the 
Washingi:on  College  campus  last  week  when  a  group  of 
Frosh,  took  matters  into  their  own  hands,  and  refused  to 
obey  the  "ratting"  regulations.  The  Sophs  had  things  well 
in  hand  by  the  beginning  of  this  week,  however,  according 
to  an  authoritative  spokesman  for  the  Sophomore  class. 

■ I  The  Frosh  determined  to  at- 
tempt their  rebellion  at  a  secret 
meeting     held     Thursday     night, 


United  Nations  Talks 
Sponsored  By  Forensic 

On  Thursday  night,  October  19 
in  the  Recreation  Room  of  Hodson 
Hall,  the  Forensic  Society  spon- 
sored a  symposium  entitled  "The 
United  Nations  in  Review." 

Featured  on  the  program  were 
three  members  of  the  Washington 
College  faculty:  Mr.  Jack  W.  Hen- 
ry, Assistant  Professor  of  His- 
tory; Mr.  Peter  P.  Jonitis,  Profes- 
sor of  Sociology  and  Economics; 
and  Mr.  Edward  R.  Padgett,  As- 
sistant Professor  of  Political  Sci- 
ence and  History, 

The  primary  objective  of  this 
symposium  was  to  determine  just 
how  far  the  United  Nations  had 
gone  in  the  last  five  years  in 
achieving  her  original  hopes  of 
peace,  freedom,  and  well-being  for 
all  mankind. 

Refreshments  were  served  after 
the  regular  program. 


SENIOR   ANNOUNCEMENT 

In  order  that  the  Granary  may 
make  the  necessary  arrangements 
all  Seniors  who  plan  to  attend  the 
Class  banquet  at  the  Granary 
Wednesday,  November  1,  are  re- 
quested to  sign  the  list  posted  on 
the  Snack     Bar     bulletin     board. 


Senior  Class  Will  Give 
Sadie  Hawkins  Again 

The  Senior  Class  will  again 
sponsor  the  traditional  Sadie  Haw- 
kins Dance,  it  was  announced  to- 
day by  Sandy  Jones,  President  of 
the  Class. 

The  dance  will  be  held  in  the 
Hodson  lounge  Saturday,  Novem- 
ber 18.  A  unique  feature  of  the 
dance  is  that  the  girls  ask  the  boys 
for  dates  and  pay  all  expenses.  The 
dance  is  the  most  informal  of  the 
year  as  blue  jeaned  Li'l  Abners 
and  short-skirted  Daisy  Maes  are 
the  order  of  the  day. 

Graduation    Plans 

At  a  meeting  last  Tuesday  the 
class  voted  to  retain  the  Latin  di- 
plomas as  well  as  the  traditional 
hoods  at  their  Commencement  cer- 
emonies, June  3,  1951.  Arrange- 
ments have  been  made  for  the 
formal  Commencement  announce- 
ments, and  they  may  be  ordered 
through  the  bookstore.  Arrange- 
ments are  also  being  made  for  the 
procurement  of  caps  and  gowns. 
Details  will  be  announced   later. 


Dr.  Gibson  Talks 
Before  Rotary 

The  Chestertown  Rotary  Club 
entertained  the  Washington  Col- 
lege faculty  on  Monday  evening, 
October  16,  at  dinner  at  the  Ches- 
ter River  Yacht  and  Country  Club. 
Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson,  President  of 
the  College,  addressed  the  group. 
He  pointed  out  that  the  College 
has  a  rich  tradition  of  heritage. 
Quoting  from  a  letter  of  George 
Washington,  written  in  1789,  to 
the  Board  of  Visitors  and  Gover- 
nors, Dr.  Gibson  cited  this  pas- 
sage as  indicative  of  the  dream  of 
the  father  of  the  country  concern- 
ing the   College: 

"It  atTords  me  peculiar  pleas- 
ure to  know  that  the  Seat  of 
Learning  under  your  direction 
hath  attained  to  such  proficiency 
in  the  Sciences  since  the  Peace; 
and  I  sincerely  pray  the  great 
Author  of  the  Universe  may  smile 
upon  the  Institution,  and  make  it 
an  extensive  blessing  to  this  coun- 
try." 

Dr.  Gibson  then  spoke  of  the 
progress  made  by  the  College  | 
through  the  yeai-s  and  the  ways  in 
which  this  dream  had  been  fulfill- 
ed. The  speaker  also  pointed  out, 
however,  that  there  are  certain 
ways  in  which  the  dream  may  be 
said  to  lack  fulfillment.  Among 
the  needs  of  the  College  as  Presi- 
dent Gibson  sees  them  at  present, 
ho  mentioned  greater  financial 
support,  more  adequate  dormitor- 
ies, larger  female  enrollment,  ex-

October  12  in  Foxwell  Hall, 
which  the  majority  of  the  Fresh- 
men boys  were  present.  The 
Sophomores  knew  nothing  of  this 
move  until  Friday  morning,  when 
large  groups  of  Frosh  were  seen 
without  their  "rat"  caps  and  name 
tags. 

This,  in  itself,  did  not  excite  the 
wrath  of  the  Sophs  too  greatly; 
but  when  only  a  few  Freshmen 
turned  up  for  the  pep  rally  on  Fri- 
day night,  feelings  flared  high 
among  Sophomores  and  upper- 
classmen both. 

Armed  with  paddles  borrowed 
from  the  fraternity  houses,  and 
aided  by  members  of  the  Varsity 
Club,  the  Sophomores  raided  Fox- 
well Hall,  turned  Freshmen  rooms 
topsy-turvy,  and  literally  dragged 
Frosh  from  their  principal  strong- 
hold up  to  Cain  Hall,  where  the 
pep  rally  was  still  in  progress. 

Monday  morning,  October  10, 
committees  from  both  the  Frosh 
and  the  Sophs  met  with  the  Dean 
of  Men,  Dr.  Charles  B.  Clark; 
and.  with  the  threat  of  disciplinary 
action  hanging  over  them,  the 
Freshmen  capitulated  and  agreed 
to  abide  by  the  terms  of  the  Soph- 
omore Committee  on  Hazing. 

A  member  of  this  committee 
stated  that  Freshmen  who  had  par- 
ticipated in  the  rebellion  would 
have  severe  penalties  meted  out 
to  them.

Objects  are  to  be  taken  to  the 
Armory  on  Friday,  October  27  be- 
tween 10  and  12  A.  .^I.,  to  be  ac-

AH  men  who  receive  orders  to 
active  duty  in  the  armed  sei'vices 
of  the  United  States  should  take 
the  steps  indicated  in  previous  is- 
sues of  the  ELM.  In  addition,  it 
is  requested  by  Mr.  Dumschott 
that  all  such  men  notify  the  Bus- 
iness Office  in  writing  of  the  date 
of  his  departure  from  the  campus.

matters  of  draftees  and  reserv- 
ists, consult  the  Dean  of  Men  who 
will  find  the  answers  for  you  if  he 
does  not  already  have   them.

A  DOG'S  LIFE 


The  pride  and  joy  of  Washing- 
ton College — the  object  of  a 
thousand  practical  jokes — the 
black  haired  friend  who  will  nev- 
er pass  a  blue  book  nor  will  he 
flunk  one — and  the  only  one  who 
can  get  away  with  open  stealing 
in  the  Snack  Bar.  If  you  don't 
know  now,  you  never  will,  its  Al- 
bert, the  veiT  congenial  canine 
that  is  everyone's  best  friend. 

Albert,  however,  is  a  chamelion 
type  animal  in  that  he  has  a  dif- 
ferent name  for  each  of  his  friends 
to  call  him.  Through  thorough 
research  and  through  questioning 
Albert  himself,  it  has  been  found 
that  Albert's  real  name  is  Pepper, 
but  you  could  call  him  Joe  and  he 
would  come  running  like  you  were 
a  long  lost  friend. 

There's  something     about     this 
insolent  black  dog  that  has     cap- 
tured the   hearts  of  all  Washing- 
tonians,   particularly     those     who 
spend  a  great  deal  of  time  in  the 
Snack   Bar.     He   is   notorious  for 
stealing  your  donuts  while  you  are 
getting  your  second  cup  of  coffee 
and  for  wagging  his  tail  under  the 
table,  upsetting  books  and  all  the 
dishes,  but  everyone  still  likes  him. 
The   Forensic   sponsored   Politi- 
cal Rallies,  a  Thursday  night  hab- 
it, have  also   interested   the  "dog 
of  a  thousand  names."     At     the 
latest   meeting  in   the   interest  of 
politics,  Albert  made  a  grand  en- 
trance on  to  the  stage,  mistook  the 
stage  curtains  for  a  fire  plug  and 
politely  left  the  forum. 

Albert  has  a  terrific  school  spir- 
it except  that  he  fraternizes  too 
freely  with  the  opposing  team's 
mascots.  He  viewed  the  Swarth- 
more  -  W.  C.  game  in  the  com- 
pany of  a  big  white  animal  from 
Philadelphia.  It  has  been  said 
that  Albert  is  in  on  all  the  secret 
plays  of  the  football  team.  We 
hope  he  uses  his  head  while  in 
such  company-  The  score  seem- 
ed to  prove  that  however. 

As  for  Albert's  personal  life 
.  .  .  we  know  he  eats  Red  Heart 
Dog  Foofl  along  with  the  con- 
glomeration of  food  from  the 
Snack  Bar  and  Hodson  Hall.  (He 
wears  a  Red  Heart  tag  that  may 
be  gotten  for  25c  and  a  wrapper). 
He  also  has  a  crooked  tail  that 
some  have  heard  tell  was  caught 
in  a  screen  door.  He  likes  to 
get  up  early  -  .  .  Bob  Jackson  and 
Mel  Littleton  will  vouch  for  that 
...  he  used  to  be  their  personal 
alarm  clock.  He  doesn't  get  along 
too  well  with  goats  as  was     wit- 


nessed the  day  the  Animal  Show 
came  to  Chesterto\vn.  He  took 
one  look  at  "Billy"  .  .  -  and  flew 

the  other  way. 

Albert,  or  Pepper,  or  whatevtr 
you  want  to  call  him  .  .  .  may  have 
lots  of  faults,  but  he  is  a  good 
sport,  has  a  wonderful  sense  of 
humor  and  we  would  really  miss 
him  if  he  ever  decided  to  take  a 
post  graduate  course  somewhere 
else. 


WHAT'S  NEW? 


NOTICE;  IN  THE  SNACK 
BAR  YOU  DON'T  HAVE  TO 
PAY  EXTRA  FOR  RYE. 

Congratulations  to  Pat  Bniehl 
on  being  Freshman  Queen  at  the 
dance  Saturday  night.  She  sho' 
was  a  cute  choice. 

"Jloose,"  I'm  sorry  I  didn't 
know  your  name  was  such  a  deep, 
dark  secret. 

Orchids  to  the  Nu's  for  their 
teiTific  Open  House  on  Sunday. 
Jones  Hall  certainly  has  improv- 
ed! Orchids,  also,  to  the  Soph- 
omores for  their  decorations  at 
the  dance,  the  best  this  gal's  seen 
in  a  long  time, 

John  Stewart  how's  the  "Clark 
Bar"  these  days? 

We  hear  that  Mel  Morgan  is 
weeping  in  his  beer  over  a  broken 
heart.  Too  bad  that  LITTLE 
Freshman  gals  fall  for  track  stars. 
Wayne's  laundry  business  is 
growing  by  leaps  and  bounds — 
you  see  he  Luxs  things  just  beau- 
tifully. 

"Do"  really  had  herself  quite  a 
birthday  party  the  other  night;  in 
fact  it  was  so  good  that  everyone 
was  in  clover. 

"Eole",  honey-chile,  was  is  your 
story? 

Emo's  literary  accomplishments 
during  the  wee  hours  of  the  morn- 
ing certainly  are  outstanding.  We 
have  that  iron  lung  ordered  for 
you,  Sterno,  just  say  the  word  and 
it's  yours. 

That's  all  for  now — "Mom, 
take  me  home!" 


bounio  feels  that  they  may  need 
him  again.  So  despite  the  efforts 
of  Dr.  Gibson,  Dr.  Clark  and  Dean 
Livingood.  Robbie  is  scheduled  to 
leave  W.  C.  this  week. 

During  his  stay  here  he  has 
majored  in  History,  minored  in 
English,  been  active  in  Sigma  Sig- 
ma Omicron,  the  student  academic 
honor  society,  and  is  this  year's 
president.  For  two  years  he  has 
been  student  assistant  in  the  de- 
partment of  history  and  political 
science.  This  year  he  was  award- 
ed the  faculty  "senior  scholar- 
ship." This  award  is  made  by  a 
vote  of  the  faculty  on  the  basis  of 
scholax-ship,  intellectual  promise. 
personality  and  character. 

Robbie  also  belongs  to  the  mar- 
ried set  on  campus,  claiming  a 
pretty  brunette  wife  and  a  1'-^ 
year  old  daughter.  He  has  spent 
several  of  his  summers  playing 
"pro"  baseball  with  the  Brooklyn 
Dodger's  fai-m  club  ...  a  recent 
arm  injury  will  prevent  him  fol- 
lowing up  any  big  league  tenden- 
cies. 

We  hope  you  stay  here,  Robbie, 
but  just  in  case  you  can't — best 
of  luck  and  success  from  every- 
one at  W^  C, 


Plans  Proposed  To 
Merge  Three  Clubs 

At  the  last  business  meeting  of 
the  Forensic  Society  it  was  pro- 
posed to  merge  both  the  proposed 
Sociology  Club  and  the  Economics 
Club  into  the  Forensic  Society  as 
a  seperate  division. 

This  suggestion  was  made  by 
Dr.  Charles  B.  Clark,  faculty  ad- 
visor to  the  Forensic  Society,  who 
pointed  out  that  there  were  al- 
ready a  great  sui-plus  of  organi- 
zations on  the  campus,  and  such  a 
merger  could  greatly  help  bring 
up  the  Forensic  enrollment. 

As  yet,  no  definite  action  has 
been  taken  on  it;  but  it  is  expect- 
ed that  something  will  be  done 
within  the  next  two  weeks. 

Fred  Nixon,  President  of  the 
Society,  also  announced  yesterday 
that  John  Bylund  has  been  ap- 
pointed Vice-President  in  charge 
of  debate.  This  position  had  been 
vacant  since  John  Woodfield  en- 
listed in  the  Army  Air  Force. 


Art  Clab  Formed 
Elects  OfHcers 

The  newly  formed  Art  Club  has 
elected  officers  for  the  coming 
year.  They  are:  Mole  Janigan, 
President;  Peggy  Brimer,  Vice- 
President;  and  Jane  Mills,  Secre- 
tary-Treasurer. The  Club  is  un- 
der the  sponsorship  of  Dr.  Walter 
Voelker. 

The  purpose  of  this  new  club  is 
to  further  the  expression  of  the 
artistic  abilities  of  the  students. 
Thes  have  set  up  a  studio  to  be 
used  for  this  pm-pose  in  the  old 
radio  room  in  William  Smith  Hall. 


Canterbury  Club 
To  Hold  Dance 

The  Canterbury  Club  has  an- 
nounced plans  for  an  informal 
dance  to  be  held  in  Hodson  Hall 
November  3.  Committees  have 
been  appointed  under  the  chair- 
manship of  Grace  Isele. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Club  last 
Tuesday  Clyde  Roney  and  Bud 
Emge  led  a  discussion  on  "Matri- 
mony in  the  Church."  The  group 
plans  to  meet  October  24  at  the 
home  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Rathje.

calfe is  the  newly  elected  Presi- 
dent, Mickey  Olt,  Vice-President;

Representatives  to  the  Board  of 
Managers  were  also  selected.  The 
two  Senior  members  are  Edith 
Ann  Ivens  and  EInior  Gustafson. 
The  latter  was  elected  due  to  the 
absence  of  an  eligible  Senior 
member.  The  two  Junior  mem- 
bers are  Kay  Heighe  Ahern  and 
Jackie  Gress.  Pat  Bowes  is  the 
Sophomore  representative,  and  Jo

Conference  Toughies  Tussle  Tomor  rov\A, 
Macon  Homecoming  Test  For  Shopmen 


By  Joel  Guandolo 

New  coaches,  homecoming,  sph'ited  rebels  and  light- 
ening brawn  face  the  Sho'men  tomorrow  with  one  thought 
in  mind — defeat. 

Statistics  fail  to  show  the  power  massed  below  the 
Mason-Dixon  line.  A  five  point  league  win  over  C.  U.  last 
week  is  also  not  indicative  as  the  Yellow  Jackets  were  in  the 
process  of  changing  from  a  two  platoon  system  to  the  old 
eleven  man  -  60  minute  game.  Montero.  aware  of  the 
threat  to  his  undefeated  team,  has  had  the  Sho'men  work- 
ing well  into  the  night  for  the  past  week.  Hour  after  hour 
of  hand  offs  and  fakes  was  the  lot  of  the  gym  clad  gridders. 
As  the  week  ends,  perfection  seemed  certain  to  grace  the 
carefully  planned  Montero  strategy.  The  Shore  team  is 
ready  but  anything  can  happen  in  a  homecoming  game. 

Now  that  the  boards  have  been  warmed.  Athey's  ver- 
sion of  the  '51  Flying  Pentagon  can  start  practicing.  Cage 
drill  starts  this  Monday  afternoon  for  all  varsity  candi- 
dates. To  date  only  one  scrimmage  has  been  scheduled. 
The  squad  will  travel  to  Annapolis  on  December  First  to 
meet  mighty  Navy,  Other  preseason  contests  will  un- 
doubtedly be  played  up  and  down  the  Shore  in  preparation 
for  what  promises  to  be  a  banner  year. 

The  energetic  freshmen  take  to  the  woods  Monday  in 
search  of  bonfire  material  for  the  homecoming  week-end, 
November  11th.  From  all  reports,  it  is  going  to  be  the  big- 
gest and  "bestest"  yet. 

The  so  called  "games  of  skill"  printed  on  technicolor 
cards  and  peddled  nationally  by  the  shadowy  guy  who's  al- 
ways in  a  hurry  are  hitting  the  sucker  jackpot  again  this 
year.  Neophytes  and  experts  pay  their  quarters,  dollars 
or  what  have  you  and  guess  away  trying  to  beat  the  syudi- 
cates.  These  Friday  morning  quarterbacks  have  pushed 
the  Monday  morning  alibiers  into  the  background.  Cam- 
pus backers  as  well  as  office  workers  keep  the  illegal  ball 
rolling  from  year  to  year  while  the  syndicate-boys  retire 
to  their  mansions. 

(Ed.  note. — F.  B.  I.  agents  broke  up  the  largest  foot- 
ball, card-pool  syndicate  in  the  country  eight  hours  after  this 
column  had  been  written). 

Congratulations  are  in  order  for  Indians  Rip  Wood 
and  Jack  Jackson  (see  story)  who  were  honored  this  week 
by  the  Ail-American  Lacrosse  committee. 

All-Star  Lacrosse  Team  Picked; 
¥/ood  On,  J,  Jackson 

Two  Washington  College  La- 
crosse stai-s  of  the  1950  team  that 
won  ten  of  thirteen  games  have 
been  naniod  to  the  1950  Ail-Amer- 
ican Squad,  as  recently  announc- 
ed by  the  U.  S.  Intercollegiate  La- 
crosse Association. 

Ray  Wood,  star  attackman  for 
the  Shoremen  for  the  last  three 
seasons,  was  picked  on  the  third 
team  close  attack  to  team  up  with 
Oliver  "Corky"  Shepard  of  the 
Johns  Hopkins  collegiate  cham- 
pionship team,  and  Rod  Boyce  of 
Duke  University.  Indicating  thi.' 
improvement  in  play  in  1950  is  the 
fact  that  Shepard,  a  first  team 
choice  in  1949,  was  a  third  string 
choice  in  1950.  Other  members 
of  the  team  on  which  Wood  was 
picked  were  Adams  of  Hopkins, 
Meyer  of  Army,  and  Cody  of  Syr- 
acuse at  midfield;  Gilfallon  of 
Duke,  Maladowitz  of  Army,  and 
Murphy  of  Maryland  at  defense; 
and  O'Connell  of  Williams  at 
Goal. 

.Tad!  Jackson,  center  on  the  W. 
C.  1950  team,  was  given  honorable 
mention  on  the  All-American 
squad.  Jackson  is  now  studying 
Law  at  the  University  of  Mary- 
land. 

In  commenting  upon  the  selec- 
tion of  Wood  and  Jackson,  Coach 
Charley  Clark  stated  that  he  was 
delighted  this  recognition  has 
come  to  two  very  deserving  play- 
ers. He  added  that  he  was  con- 
vinced Wood's  play  could  earn  him 
a  regular  berth  on  any  team  in  the 
r  "ii  IV.  rnd  that  had  lie  been  a

teams  in  Lacrosse  he  would  be 
first-string  All-American.  With 
another  season  to  play,  Wood  still 


a  chance  to  win  liigher  rucog- 
uition.  Based  upon  their  play 
last  season,  several  other  members 
of  the  local  squad  will  be  gunning 
for  recognition  next  spring,  Coach 
Clark  stated. 

Fii-st  team  All-American  posi- 
tions went  to  Clements  of  W.  &  L. 
at  goal;  Ryan  of  Navy,  Bunting  of 
Hopkins,  and  Yellott  of  Yale  at 
defense;  Sandell  of  Hopkins,  Ful- 
ler of  Syracuse,  and  Coons  of 
RPI  at  midfield;  and  Hooper,  of 
Virginia,  Powell  of  RPI,  and  Hahn 
of  Princeton  at  attack.

One-Half  Down  With  Order 


The  Washington  College  Sho'- 
men garnered  their  third  succes- 
sive victory  of  the  current  cam- 
paign by  trouncing  Bridgewater 
(Va.)  College  34-0  last  Saturday 
at  Kibler  Field. 

Sam  Greto  and  Joe  Miller  led 
the  touchdown  parade  with  two 
markers  apiece  while  Bernie 
O'Connell  chipped  in  with  one. 
Miller's  scores  came  on  passes 
from  Little  John  Wilson  while 
Greto's  were  on  bucks  of  1  and  5 
yards,  respectively,  O'Connell 
registered  by  covering  Miller's 
fumble  in  the  end  zone.  The 
Maroon  and  Black  had  3  T,  D.s 
called  back  for  rule  infractions. 

Greto  opened  the  scoring  with 
a  1  yard  plunge  on  the  tenth  play 
of  the  game  and  from  then  on  the 
issue  was  never  in  doubt.  Sec- 
onds later  Jack  Fredricks  pounced 


on  Bower's  fumble  at  the  B.  C.  44 
yard  line,  and  the  Monteromen 
were  on  the  move  again.  Miller 
put  the  pigskin  in  scoring  position 
with  a  32  yard  run,  then  made  a 
leaping  catch  of  Wilson's  aerial 
for  a  touchdown. 

Wilson  and  Miller  combined  to 
set  up  another  score  early  in  the 
second  period,  O'Connell  fell  on 
Miller's  fumble  in  the  end  zone  for 
the  tally.  With  one  minute  re- 
maining in  the  first  half  Greto 
countered  from  5  yards  out  to  caj 
a  53  yard  drive.  Wilson's  placi;- 
ment  made  the  score  27-0,  Wil- 
son passed  to  Miller  for  the  final 
T.  D.,  the  play  covering  60  yards. 

The  defensive  unit,  as  in  prev- 
ious games,  played  inspired  ball, 
holding  Bridgewater  to  27  yards 
rushing  and  26  passing. 


Howard  On  The  Way 


Dryden  Sets  M-D  Record 
As  Shoremen  Bow  Sat. 

The  Loyola  CoUege  cross-cou';- 
try  team  defeated  the  Maroon  and 
Black  here  last  Saturday  by  a 
closely  contested  score  of  27  to 
30. 

However,  individual  honors  went 
to  Filmore  Dryden  who  set  a  new 
course  record  while  winning  his 
second  consecutive  dual  meet  vic- 
tory of  the  season.  The  winner's 
time  of  19  minutes,  II  seconds, 
erases  the  old  M-D  mark  set  here 
last  year  by  Larry  Brandenburg 
when  he  led  Washington  College 
to  victory  over  Gallaudet.  Dryden 
pulled  away  from  all  competition 
at  the  2  mile  mark  of  the  3.8  mile 
grind,  and  sprinted  the  last  one 
yards  of  the  race. 

Competitive  Kick 

Running  one  of  the  finest  races 
of  the  afternoon  was  Tom  Benson 
who  kicked  past  George  Bonadiao 
of  Loyola  to  gain  second  place 
honors  for  the  home  team.  John 
Colburn  and  Joe  Paszek  were 
fourth  and  fifth  for  the  Green  and 
Gray  while  Paul  Becker  of  Wash-

The  maroon  and  black  clad  war- 
riors of  W.  C.  boarded  the  bus  this 
morning  in  fine  spirits  and  em- 
barked on  their  journey  to  Asli- 
land,  Virginia,  where  they  tangle 
^vith  Randolph-Macon's  Yellow 
Jackets  tomorrow  afternoon. 

The  scores  of  previous  games 
played  this  year  definitely  estab- 
lished the  locals  as  pre-game  fav- 
orites. While  they  have  rolled  to 
consecutive  victories  over  Lycom- 
ing, Swarthmore,  and  Bridgewat- 
er, the  Macons  have  been  set  back 
in  three  out  of  four  encounters. 
After  dropping  three  in  a  row  to 
Richmond,  Apprentice  School,  and 
Florida  State  U.,  they  bounded 
back  last  week  to  edge  Catholic 
U.  (Wash.,  D,  C.),  26-21. 

The  Yellow  Jacket  coaching 
staff  has  been  stiiving  to  field  a 
line-up  that  will  prove  equally  ef- 
fective on  offense  as  on  defense. 
To  quote  head  coach  Paul  Sev- 
erin:  "We  tried  the  two  platoon 
system  and  it  didn't  seem  to  work 
for  us.  From  now  on,  we  ^vill 
field  the  best  eleven  on  the  club 
and  keep  them  in  there  regardless 
of  who  has  the  ball."  (From  the 
'■Yellow  Jacket"  of  Oct.  13,  1950). 
The  loss  of  halfbacks  Spike 
Gray  and  Johnny  Tkach,  who  were 
injured  two  weeks  ago  when  the 
lemon  and  black  were  thumped  by 
Florida  State,  40-7,  was  a  serious 
blow.  Gray,  fii-st  string  right- 
half  was  out  with  a  seperated 
shoulder  but  returned  unexpected- 
ly to  meet  C.  U..  Tkach,  a  stand- 
out on  both  offense  and  defense, 
may  be  out  for  the  season  with  a 
torn  knee  cartilage.  When  these 
starters  are  absent,  Brockwell 
(185  lbs.)  and  Shiflett  (196  lbs.) 
team  up  at  halves,  Keller,  an  18 
year  old,  will  direct  the  squad 
from  quarter  and  Begor,  a  new- 
comer, will  do  the  line  plunging. 
Veteran  Line 
Six  veterans  will  hold  down  the 
line  positions:  ends,  Wilson  and 
Johnson;  tackles,  Breedlove  and 
Stanley;  center,  Neikirk;  and 
guard  Depresco,  The  only  fresh- 
man on  the  line  is  left-guard  John

Gibson  Speaks  ....  Con't. 

pansion  of  the  Department  of 
i\Iusic.  and  the  creation  of  a  vital 
Department  of  Art.  The  Presi- 
dent said  he  did  not  consider  mere 
'bigness"  a  goal  hut  that  he  would 
stress  increased  facilities  and  qual- 
ity of  accomplishment  in  the  work 
of  this  college  of  liberal  arts,  part 
of  the  value  of  which  was  in  its 
small  size  and  its  ability  to  pro- 
duce leaders. 

Dr.  Gibson  pointed  out  that 
most  of  the  aid  received  from  the 
State  of  Maryland  goes  to  indi- 
vidual students,  since  it  is  award- 
ed in  the  form  of  scholarships. 

Mr,  Orville  Wright  introduced 
the  speaker:  ilr.  Parks  Rasin  pre- 
sided. Mr.  Carl  Hoffmann  out- 
lined the  purpose  of  Rotary.  Mr. 
Switzer  led  the  group  in  singing

Soccerites  Took  Bucknell  Friday, 
Star  M.-D.  Opponents  On  Tap 


W.  C.  Topples  Backnell 
In  Last  30  Seconds 

The  traveling  hooters  proved 
that  Friday  the  13th  wasn't  un- 
lucky for  the  Sho'men  at  least 
when  they  handed  mighty  Buck- 
nell a  2-1  loss. 

It  seemed  as  if  Bucknell  was 
going  to  have  things  their  way, 
right  from  the  start  when  the 
Pennsylvanians  scored  before  five 
minutes  had  elapsed.  This,  their 
only  goal,  proved  to  be  all  the 
Sho'men  needed  to  spark  their  de- 
fense. 

The  middle  part  of  the  second 
period  found  the  Shoremen  "press- 
ing" in  order  to  tie  their  hosts. 
Walt  Ortel  initiated  the  score  with 
an  out-of-bounds  kick  that  Doug 
Tilley  banged  into  the  net  ^vith  his 
head.  The  half  ended  1-1. 
Defense  Holds 

The  third  period  failed  to 
change  the  scoreboard  record.  At 
the  outset  of  the  fourth,  it  was 
evident  that  Bucknell  was  determ- 
ined to  score.  Time  and  again 
the  Sho'  defense  stood  its  ground 
and  repelled  the  attempted  invas- 
ions. 

Thirty    Second    Win 

The  tie  stood  and  thirty  seconds 
remained  when  speedy  George 
Horn  (WC)  slipped  behind  the  de- 
fense and  passed  to  a  "center- 
field-net"  trio.  The  first  man. 
Hernandez,  kicked  a  "beaut"  for 
the  score — the  game — and  a  upset. 


Atheymen  Face  Ttoo 
Conference  Foes 

The  local  hooters  take  to  the 
"Hill"  at  Westminster  tomorrow 
to  defend  their  unmarked  record 
against  the  Green  Terrors'  of 
Western   Maryland. 

A  follow  up  is  slated  with  Loy- 
ola of  Baltimore  in  Chestertown 
Tuesday. 

With  the  recent  Bucknell  vic- 
tory under  their  belts,  the  Athey- 
men feel  confident  as  they  take  on 
their  toughest  M-D  Conference 
opponents, 

The  most  important  factor  in 
the  play  of  the  legmen  is  the  line- 
play.  Sho'man  Tilley  seems  to 
have  found  his  mark  and  works 
nicely  with  the  other  potent  line- 
men. Good  halfbacking  through- 
out the  season  has  been  featured, 
what  with  Hungevford  being  the 
most  improved  soccevite  since  last 
season.  The  inexperienced  inner- 
defense  is  developing,  while  Butch 
"what's-your-name?"  McHugh  is 
beginning  to  look  like  a  polished 
goalie. 


VARSITY  INITIATION 

Nineteen  new  men  have  met 
the  two  varsity  letter  requirements 
and  will  be  initiated  into  the  Var- 
sity Club  Monday  night  at  9:00

edges  that  are  always  cropping  up 
on  the  "T".  Quarterbacks  Wilson 
and  Magliochetti  have  mastered 
the  tricky  "T"  handoffs  and  fakes. 
Halfbacks  Howard,  Cinaglia  and 
Eisenman  are  cutting  nicely.  Mil- 
ler, the  Sho'men's  high  scorer, 
missed  practice  for  three  days  due 
to  appendix  trouble,  however,  the 
stellar  halfback  is  a  good  bet  to 
start  Saturday.  Fullback  Greto 
seems  to  run  harder  and  step 
higher  every  day.

The  Nuttlc  Lumber  Company  has 
:\grrcd  to  supply  all  the  lumber,  met.ii 
and  paint  needed  for  the  construction 
of  the  scoreboard.  It  is  hoped  ihat  one

a  clock  for  the  project.  A  considerable 
sum,  however,  will  be  required  to  covci 
the  cost  of  labor,  lights  and  other 
electrical  fixtures.  Contribut,ipns  for 
the  scoreboard  will  be  solicited  from 
the  student  body  either  individually  or 
through  the  various  tlubs  on  campus. 
If  possible  Ihc  scoreboard  will  be  com- 
pkled  in  time  for  dedication  at  Home-

The  speaker  at  the  last  meeting  was 
Mr.  Edward  Brubaker  of  the  English

DO  WE  WANT  ONE? 

We  hear  ihai  the  college  orclicsira 
has  disbanded.  Why,  Was  it  the  lack 
of  inicrtst?  Was  it  because  it  was 
"too  much  work?"  Just  what  was  ihe 
reason? 

We  ihinK  that  the  majority  oF 
students  will  agree  that  a  college 
orchestra  would  be  nice  for  assem- 
blies, games,  and  other  occasions. 
\Ve  also  think  they  know  that  no 
organization  can  be  wished  into 
cxbtencc.  It  takes  work — hard  work 
but  it  is  the  end  result  ihat  counts. 

We  know  Ihat  tnetc  are  enough 
tatenicd  students  on  campus  lo  form 
an  orchestra  if  only  the  desire  to 
have  an  ordiesira  could  be  stimu- 
lated. If  it's  a  matter  of  "not  having 
time",  you  talented  students  ask 
yourselves,  '"Which  had  1  rather  do, 
have  one  more  hour  a  week  to  'relax' 
or  be  an  integral  part  of  a  worth- 
while orchestra," 

We  can  have  an  orchestra  i!  we 
want  one — it's  up  to  us. 


HERE'S  WHY 

We  suppose  you've  noticed  the 
change  in  the  appearance  of  the 
paper.  We  feel  that  an  explanation 
is  in  order. 

As  you  know,  the  ELM  is  pri- 
marily a  siudent  publication.  The 
money  for  its  publication  comes 
principally  from  the  subscription 
price  paid  by  the  students  at  the 
beginning  of  the  year. 

This  year  there  are  approximately 
100  less  students  than  there  were  last 
ye^.  This  means  that  the  ELM  is 
now  being  published  with  at  least 
S2')0  less  working  capital  than  last 
year. 

In  an  attempt  to  absorb  the  loss 
of  this  S250^  the  editors  and  business 
manager  have  decided  to  have  the 
ELM  printed  at  less  expense  than 
prei'iou^ily.  The  only  other  alterna- 
tive was  to  raise  the  subscription 
price.  This  is  something  that  we 
wanted  to  avoid  if  at  all  possible. 
The  change  may  be  a  little  difficult 
at  fust  for  the  staff  but  we  feel 
sure  that  in  a  short  time  we  can 
have    a    better    paper    than    ever.

The  Board  of  Visitors  and  Gover- 
nors of  Washington  College  will  meet 
on  Ihc  campus  Saturday,  Oct.  28. 

Mr.  Lester  Baldwin,  Baltimore,  is 
the  present  chairman.  He  was  elected 
to  fill  the  job  left  vacant  by  the  death 
last  spring  of  Col.  H.  S.  Brown  who 
had  prciided  over  the  group  for  28 


Wc  should  like  to  attack  the  use 
nicknames     for    college    tcaius.    As 
case  in   point  we  wonder  if  you  h; 
ever  contemplated  the  slew  of  names 
by  which   our   vai^sity   performers  are 
known.     We    are    at     different     times 
the    "Crimgrayers,"    "Hawks,"    "City- 
liners."    "Mainliners."    "Hawk-hillers," 
or,    to  strelch   a    point,   'The    battered 
band    of    bestragglcd    veterans." 

In  basketball  our  athletes  score 
"Twin-pointers,"   "Double  Digits," 
"outside    tosses."   "Charity    tosses." 
Our  baseball  players  not  only  hit 
but  thc>  "lash  to  right,"  "drill  to 
center,"    "bloop   to    left"   or  "can- 
nonade  a   shot   over    the    inviting 
confines   of   the  right    field  wall." 
Visiting   teams   come    to    Hawk    Hill 
rcih  with  victories  over  Agnes  Irwin, 
rtc,  but  no  one  ever  stopped  to  con- 
ider  that  most  of  the  visiting  athlcics 
ire  in  all  probability  tired  from  irav- 
:ling  all  night. 

On  many  occasions  our  interest  is 
limulated  by  the  renewal  of  a  per- 
sonal feud  between  two  players  whicb 
as  started  at  Canip  Blanding,  Florida. 
Chances  are  that  the  two  were  oppon- 
ents in  the  Army  and  again  in  inter- 
collegiate competition,  but  the  odds 
arc  that  neither  player  ever  heard 
of  the  other. 

Our  spring  sports  arc  not  Track 
meets  or  Tennb  matches,  they 
are  "Cindermeets"  or  "Clay  Court 
Contests."  Our  gallant  j>erform- 
ers  are  not  just  trackmen  but 
"Cindermen,"  "Thin  Clads,"  "Ber- 
telsmen."  Varsity  tennis  team 
players  arc  almost  invariably 
called  "Netmen." 

In    conclusion    we    should    like    to 
write    an    apologia    of    the    foregoing 
by  saying  that  the  sports  pages  of  oui 
"Hawk"  as  well  as  those  of  our  lead- 
ng    local    tabloids    would    be    rather 
dull    if    the    above    expressions    were 
lot     put    into    play.    Can't    you    just 
magine    reading    the    following: 
On     Wednesday,     November    9, 
1952,  the  St.  Joseph's  College  bas- 
ketball  team   will   meet   a  similar 
group     of     athletes     representing 
Hardin-Simmons    University.    The 
contest    will    lake    place    at     Ihe 
Alumni    Memorial   Fieldhouse   be- 
fore an  estimated  gathering  of  up- 
wards to  900  |>eoplc. 

John  Scwarizcolf  and  James 
Nuddick  are  outstanding  for  St. 
Joseph',  while  Sam  Spade  and 
Walter  Piflin  are  standout  for  the 
opponents. 


My  Hobby  . . . 


(Ed,  Note:    The  following  was 
tniittcd    as    a    theme     in     Mr. 
ubakcr's  English   10!   Class). 
v  particular  hobby  does  not  come 
i'  the  hc.iding  of  unique  nor,  for 
that  matter,  does  the  classification  ol 
peculiar  quite  fit  the  case.  Let  us  say 
instead  that  this  hobby  of  mine  is-um- 
iifTcrtnt  .  -  .  Well  to  be  more  explicit 
my  hobby  is  talking.  1  will  talk  about 
lothing,    somelhing,    or    more    prcfcr- 
ibly    everything.    Talking    is    an    art, 
however,  the  way  I  do  it,  it's  a  crime. 
I    was    launched   on    this    hobby   ol 
inc  at  a  very  early  age,  seven  to  be 
act.  I  had  talked  myself  out  of  my 
first    childhood    fight.    The    neighbor- 
hood   in    which    I    lived    was  presided 
by  a  lad  of  ten,  who  was  quite 
large    and    strong    for    his    age.    Well, 
one    fine    day    this    chap    decided    to 
in  my  place  physically.  I  was 
definitely  scared  green  by  this  uncom- 
fortable prospect,  so  I  suddenly  started 
liking,  lo  this  day  I  still  don't  know 
hat    I    said.    I    talked    so    fast    and 
furiously    that    the    lad    got    all    con- 
fused and  eventually  I  had  convinced 
not  to  plaster  me,  but  to  go  and 
clip    a    few    of    his   friends    who    were 
ing  him  wrong    (    I  just  didn't  like 
some   of  his   friends).    Well,   to   make 
long  story  short,  I  finally  persuaded 
this  big  character  into  supporting  me 
'     neighborhood     boss,     (dirty 
politics  at  such  an  early  age,  my,  my). 
High    school   saw    mc    further    per- 
fecting my  hobby  by  the  way  of  de- 
bating    clubs,    dramatic     productions, 
speech   organizations,    ar»l    any   other 
means  by  which  I  could  get  my  vocal 
cords  overworked. 

I  can  recall  to  mind  an  incident 
which  occurcd  in  my  third  year 
English  class,  Wc  happened  to  be 
reading  Julius  Caesar  at  that  time, 
that  is,  the  teacher  and  I  were  read- 
ing it  while  the  rest  of  the  class  was 
sleeping.  The  reading  was  to  have 
taken  two  weeks,  but  I  did  it  for  ihcm 
in  one  period. 

My  last  year  in  high  school  saw 
the  crowning  moment  in  my  hobby.  I 
was  selected  to  act  as  master  < 
monies  at  an  assembly  program,  all  1 
had  to  do  was  introduce  the  acts,  and 
I  aUo  had  to  give  a  simple  speech  on 
keeping  the  locker  room  clean  ( re- 
quested by  the  principle).  Prior  to  my 
entrance  on  the  stage  I  had  a  fight 
with  the  assembly  director,  and  this 
fight  left  me  roaring  mad.  The  assemb- 
ly started  at  eleven  and  was  supposed 
to  end  at  twelve,  at  a  quarter  to  twelve 
I  was  still  talking.  I  was  so  mad  when 
I  went  on  stage  I  decided  to  tell  the 
whole  student  body  just  what  1 
thought  of  the  school  and  faculty  es- 
pecially the   assembly  director. 

henever  I  am  with  a  group  and 
of  those  inevitable  lulls  in  con- 
servation occurs,  I  can  be  counted  on 
p  the  conversation  going  and 
eventually  try  to  dominate  it.  My 
greatest  asset  in  this  hobby  of  mine  is 
the  fact  thai  I  have  never  been  afraid 
people  and  speaking.  The  many  times 
I  have  been  called  upon  to  speak  be- 
fore a  group  of  people,  I  have  yet  to 
have  used  a  prepared  speech.  I  much 
rathjr  speak  extemporaneously  as  "I

Eisenman  Requests 

Return  Of  Cola  Bottles 

Herbie  Eisenman,  who  handles  the 
servicing  of  the  coke  machines  on 
campus,  has  asked  for  the  coopera- 
tion of  the  student  body  in  returning 
the  empty  bottles.  He  stated  that  an 
unusually  large  number  of  bottles  are 
cither    being    broken    or    lost. 

In  order  to  make  it  more  conven- 
ient for  students  to  return  empty 
bottles,  Eisenman  stated  that  carriers 
have  been  placed  near  the  machjne. 
Students  may  use  these  carriers  to 
carry  the  cokes  back  to  their  doimi* 
torics.  StudenU  are  asked  to  place 
empty  bottles  in  the  cases  located 
in    the    dormitories    for    this    purpese. 


effects  people  is  the  case  of  my  room- 
mate Harold  Garrett.  When  I  first  met 
Harold  he  was  a  civil  person  and  he 
often  used  to  say  a  few  words  of  greet- 
ing and  quite  frequently  he  would  com- 
ment on  the  meals.  Now,  after  spend- 
ing more  than  a  month  in  the  same 
room  with  mc  all  he  does  is  grunt 
when  spoken  to,  and  he  has  developed 
a  noticeable  twich  around  the  comcn

By  JOEL  GUANDOLO 


Exruses  aren't  being  made.  The  Sho'mcn  are  just  tighten- 
ing their  belts  and  working  harder  to  get  their  overturned 
iandwagon  back  on  the  road  to  grid  virtoi7s. 

A  few  sideline  comments  after  the  Ashland  tussle  question- 
ad  the  afTects  of  the  hot  Virginia  sun,  the  refs,  and  even  the 
tfTorts  put  forth  by  the  Monteromen.  This  writer,  however, 
must  attribute  the  loss  to  three  things  of  a  difTcrent  nature. 
The  Yellow  Jackets  used  their  weight  effectively  as  ihey  hustled 
xn  masse  through  the  Sho'  line.  A  good  scouting  report  of  the 
Sho'  eleven  must  have  been  turned  in  and  heeded  by  the 
Jackets  as  they  refused,  time  and  again,  to  slice  out  of  position. 
All  afternoon,  the  locals  running  attack  was  slowed  or  stopped 
&y  "heads-up"  ends  and  backcrups.  Last,  but  not  least,  the 
Severin  eleven  knew  how  to  profit  from  a  "break".  A  sho' 
fumble  and  a  blocked  kick  set  the  stage  for  the  13-0  loss. 

Veteran  basketball  candidates  now  practicing  nighdy,  arc 
iemoaning  the  football  antics  of  a  few  newcomers. 

Captain  Buddy  Brower  and  Hermandez,  the  Hondurous 
l&ustler,  were  mentioned  by  the  Baltimore  Evening  Sun  as 
possible  Ail-American  soccer  candidates  from  Maryland. 
Another  legman,  Luzzi  of  Loyola,  was  one  of  the  dozen  under 
consideration.  The  sparkling  exhibition  of  this  little  Spanard 
ficre  on  the  Hill  last  Tuesday  justified  the  selection  to  the  S!io'

Shopmen  Bow  To  R.-M., 
13-0  In  First  Defeat 


An  insplicd  band  of  Randulph- 
Mdcon  gridders  gave  previously  un- 
defeated and  unscoicd  on  Washington 
College  its  first  setback  of  the  season 
last  Saturday  at  Ashland,  Va.,  beat- 
ing ihcSho'men  13-0. 

lt,andolph-Macon  capitalized  on  two 
breaks,  a   fumble  and  a   blocked  kick, 
to  score  both  touchdowns. 
Tally 

1  be  Yellow  Jackets  tallied  midway 
in  the  opening  period  after  George 
I'endergraft  recovered  Howard's  fum- 
ble on  the  W.  C.  9yard  line.  On 
third  down,  Fullback  "Sweeney"  Shif- 
leit  bucked  over  tackle  for  the  marker. 
George  Bell  converted  and  R.-M.  led 
7  too. 

l..iie  in  the  final  quarter.  Bob  I'ul- 
Han  blocked  Wilson's  fourth  down 
punt  and  recovered  the  ball  at  the 
W.    C.    6.    Shiflett    rammed   over    foi 


the    tally,    but    Belt's    placement 
wide— 13-0,  R.M. 

Hope  Lingers 

The  Momcromcn  threatened  early 
in  the  second  period.  Joe  Ingarra 
tCTcepted  Taylor's  pass  and  rambled 
45  yards  to  the  jacket  Ifi.  In  foui 
plays  the  Shopmen  had  a  first  down 
on  the  R.-M.  5.  But  the  drive  fiizled 
out,  and  the  Macons  took  possession 
on  the  17-yard  stripe.  The  Maroon 
and  Black  never  again  threatened. 
Performers 

Jack  Nacrelli  and  Joe  Ingarra  gai 
their  usual  sterling  perfurmances  o 
defense  but  the  Washington  offense 
was  impotent  all  day.  The  Chester- 
town  juggernaut  which  had  averaged 
395  yards,  rushing  and  passing,  in 
the  three  previous  games,  was  held 
to  80  yards  net  gain  by  the  hard- 
charging   Yellow   Jacket    forward   wall.

Four  Wins 

By    DALE    PALMER 

I  his  Tuesday  saw  Loyola  trip  up 
the  Washington  College  eleven  hy  a 
convincing  score  of  4-1.  The  contest 
stopped  the  locals'  bid  for  an  unde- 
feated season  and  gave  Loyola  its 
fourth  straight  victory. 

Visitors    Grab    Early    Lead 

Lu/zi  banged  in  the  Greyhounds 
initial  score  after  just  three  minutes 
of  play  had  elapsed  in  the  game, 
Loyola  jumped  ahead  2-0  early  in 
the  second  quarter  when  Bidlington 
hard  one  by  the  goalie  from 


side. 


Sho'men   Fight  Back 

The  local  caught  (ire  and  completely 
monopolized  the  play  during  the  sec- 
ond quarter.  However,  an  excellent 
defense  was  set  up  by  Loyola  with 
Bill  McGee  in  the  goal.  The  lone 
tally  for  the  losers  was  gained  in  this 
period.  Wood  fired  at  the  goal  as 
McCce,  pulled  out  of  position,  open- 
ing the  goal  for  a  tap  by  Jim  Twilley, 

Loyola  scored  again  in  this  period 
when  Luzzi,  inside  right,  dribbled 
in  of!  McHugh's  foot  for  his  second 
score. 

Second    Half — Nip    and    Tuck 

Close,  rough  play  was  featured  the 
•mind  half.  If  anything,  the  Sho'mcn 
lijuked  better  on  the  field  with  the 
exception  of  the  inner  defense.  Con- 
sistent wing  attempts  were  thwarted 
by    \tcGec   and    his    fullbacks. 

The  final  score  was  added  after  19 
in  the  fourth  quarter  when 
Nelson  passed  to  Himpler  who  pushed 
the   hall   through   the   uprights.

Warriors  Meet 
Pa.  School  Here 
In  Fifth  Gajne 


C's  warriors  return  home  to- 
lo  face  the  undefeated  Drag- 
ons of  Drexel  Tech.  on  the  Kibler 
Field  gridiron  at  2:30  P.M. 

Alter  experiencing  their  initial  set- 
back  of  the  current  campaign  last 
week  at  Randolph-Macon,  the  Sho'- 
men have  undergone  a  week  of  vigorous 
practice  sessions  in  preparation  for  the 
invading  Pennsylvanians. 

Coach  Monltro  is  expected  to  field 
the  same  cirven,  with  one  exception, 
that  bowed  to  R-M  last  week.  John 
Santulli  will  start  at  left  end  replacing 
George  Plocharski,  who  received  a 
head  injury  in  last  week's  game. 

The  Drexel  eleven  has  been  taking 
advantage  of  a  two  week  layover,  since 
ihey  had  no  game  scheduled  for  the 
past  week  end.  Coach  Eddie  Allen  has 
been  putting  his  boys  through  light, 
spirited  workouts  in  hopes  of  ironing 
out  the  offensive  wrinkles.  Special 
emphasis  has  been  on  "precision, 
timing,  speed  and  particular  assign- 
ments." 

Drcxcl's  victorious  offensive  eleven, 
which  has  rolled  to  consecutive  wins 
over  Ursinus,  Gettysburg,  and  P.M.C., 
will  feature  Stewart  at  center.  Price 
and  Ream  in  the  guard  slots,  Adams 
and  Busier  at  the  tackles,  flanked  by 
Zakarian  and  Spahr.  In  the  backficld, 
Brown  will  be  under  the  center,  Gcr- 
lach  and  Bigatcl  will  half  the  "T" 
while  hefty  Charlie  Clisham  will 
plunge  through  from  the  fullback 
hole. 

In  the  last  meeting  of  these  clubs, 
on  the  Engineers'  field  in  Philadelphia 
(1949),  the  locals  took  an  18-12 
victory  home. 


W.C.  Harriers 
DefeatHopkins 


The  Washington  College  cross-coun- 
try team  defeated  Johns  Hopkins  here 
last  week,  23  to  34.  as  Earl  Grim  ot 
the  Blucjays  set  a  new  course  record, 

The  new  record  of  18  minutes,  37 
seconds  supplants  the  recently  csiab- 
lished  one  of  19  minutes,  II  seconds 
set  by  Philmore  Dryden  three  weeks 
ago  against  Loyola  College.  Grim  was 
not  without  competition  however,  as 
Dryden  stuck  close  to  him  until  the 
latter  part  of  the  race.  This  new 
record  is  an  exceptionally  good  time 
and  should  stand  well  into  the  future. 

Tom  Benson  trailed  Dryden  across 
the  finish  line  with  Mike  McCinnis 
of  Hopkins  close  behind.  George  Eich- 
elbergcr    was    fourth    for    the    Maroon 

id  Black  followed  by  Ellsworth  Boyd 
and  Jack  MacCulluogh  als  of  ^V.  C. 
Eighth  place  went  to  Bud  Howard  ot 
Hopkins  who  sprinted  the  length  of 
the  football  field  only  to  be  uutkicked 
by  Boyd  and  MacCulluogh.  Bob  Smith 
of  Hopkins  was  ninth,  and  Bill  Lan- 
don  of  W.  C.  tenth.  Harold  Garrett 
of  the  home  team  beat  John  Peder- 
son  of  Hopkins  to  complete  the  race. 

The  Sho'mcn  remain  idle  tomorrow 
as  they  rigidly  train  for  their  im-; 
portant  five-way  meet  in  Baltimore  on 
ember  4,  This  meet  matches  Mt. 
St.  Mary's  College,  King's  College*  The 
Baltimore  Olympic  Club  and  Salis- 
bury State  Teachers'  College.  This  is 
invitation  meet  and  the  AVashing- 
ton  harriers  will  face  stiff  competition 
that  day.

Hallowe'en's  Ancestry- 
Traced  Back  To  Pumpkins 


Bring  on  those  gorgeous  gourds  — 
the  big  orange  and  yellow  pumpkins. 
Jack-o'-lanter  season  is  just  ahead. 

W'hv  is  ihc  sculptured  pumpkin  so 
well  intrenched  as  the  No.  I  symbol 
of  Hallowe'en  as  celebrated  in  Amcri 
ca?  In  the  answer  to  that  question 
lies  Ihc  story  of  the  mixed  ancestry  o) 
Hallowe'en  itself. 

The  jac-o'-lantcrn.  to  be  sure,  holds 
no  direct  connection  to  the  church 
celebration  thai  gave  Hallowe'en  its 
natnc.  A  dozen  leniuries  ago  Christen^ 
doin  in  Europe  esiablished  All  .Saints 
Day  followed  by  All  Souls"  Day,  The 
night  in  ad%ance  of  this  iwoday  festi- 
vals of  worship  was  declared  a  hal 
lowed,  or  holy_  eve  in  honor  of  the 
saints. 

Tnidiiion.s  Wouldn't  Emsc 

The  (huicb  fathers  evidently  hoped, 
among  other  things,  to  sunplant  in 
some  degree  the  paganism  of  autumn 
festivals,  then  already  ancient,  with 
enliiihiencd  cu.stoms  of  a  Christian 
observance.  Out  of  it  came  ihc  name 
of  our  popular  bill  unofTicial  Octohei 
31  h'.liday  —  Halloween.  Hut  if  thev 
reallv  ihoueht  ir>  erase  entirely  the 
pagan  tradition  of  an  annual  autumn 
vigil  against  spooks  and  evil  spirits, 
ihev  failed. 

That  tradition  had  deep  roots  in 
practices  of  Greeks,  Romans,  Egypt 
ians,  Druids,  and  Celts.  The  Romans 
at  harvest  time,  for  example,  had  long 
honored  Pomona,  their  godties.s  ol 
fruits  and  seeds.  Bonfires  marked  theii 
celebrations.  Nuts  and  apples  wcrt 
the  tokens  of  their  winter  food  store. 

The  Druids  of  ancient  Britain  held 
a  three-day  festival  to  mark  what  was 
10  them  hioih  the  year's  and  the  sum 
mer's  end.  To  them,  most  of  all.  can 
be  attriltuied  HalKiw'en's  superstitions 
and  beliefs.  From  them  come  customs 
of  Hallowe'en  decorations,  bonfires  to 
scare  off  the  ghosts  ihai  hover  in  the 
■ihadows,  and  images  of  goblins  lo 
add  to  the  night's  eeriencss.  To  tht 
Druids,  a  black  cat  was  the  perfeci 
hahitai    for  a  dcparied  human  soul. 

Thus    the    pumpkin     jack -o -Ian lent 


fits  a  mixed  Hallowe'en  tradition,  not 
ily  because  it  makes  a  weird  and 
shadow-casting  spcKik,  but  because  il 
part  of  the  harvesi.  Out  of  it  has 
come  the  filling  for  the  pic,  crowning 
proof  that  the  harvest  horn  holds 
plenty. 

Pumpkin   "Irrelevant"   Oveiseas" 

Pumpkins     and     squashes     are     ol 

Weslcin      Hemisphere      origin.      tin 

known  in  Europe  prior  to  1570  as  fai 

records  shoiv.  Since  pre-Columbian 

limes.   Indians   of   Middle   and   Souih 

America   have  planted   ihem   in   their 

fields  of  corn,  and  ranked  them  high 

a  food  source. 

Hallowe'en  is  no  longer  the  cele- 
brated festival  it  once  was  in  Europe 
and  the  British  Isles.  Pumpkins,  a 
noiclty  in  Europe  in  .American  colo- 
lal  days,  never  have  become  pari  of 
the  Old  World's  Hallowe'en  celebra- 
tions, and  are  termed  "irrelevant"  lo 
he  celebraiion  of  ihc  auiuinn  fesli- 
■al  in  a  recent  Briiish  newspaper 
article.  The  pumpkin  jack-o'-lanlcm. 
iherefore,  is  an  inseparable  part  of 
Hallowe'en  onlv  in  the  New  World 
version.

The  plan,  seventeen  ycai-s  old,  had 
its  origin  with  the  Balliniore  concern. 
1  he  keynote  of  the  plan  is  the  new 
emphasis  in  .-\inerican  indiisiry  upon 
tive  employee  panicipaiion  in  the 
administration  and  managerial  pro 
cess.  Under  this  plan,  employees  on 
the  sales  force,  in  the  office,  and  in 
the  faciory,  shaic  both  the  responsi- 
bilities and  the  oppornuiitics  of  the 
company  managcmeni.

been  fully  tamed. 


The  musical  grapevine  has  it  to  the 
(Tect  that  records  arc  getting  better 
as  competition  becomes  keener. 

A  likely  example  would  be  tht 
album  of  four  platters  of  Dorscy  Dixie- 
land whic:h  recently  hit  the  turntables. 
The  tunes  date  back  lo  1934-35  when 
'it".  However,  there  is  no 
reason  why  Dixie  should  be  restricted 
lo  any  definite  era.  The  music  is  pre- 
ntcd  well  by  Jimmy  on  clarinet  and 
.\.  Brother  Tommy  furthers  the  cffeci 
by  superb  handling  of  the  T-bone. 
Most  geuninc  Dixieland  jazz  is  played 
spontaneously  and  the  Dorseys  play 
ad    lib.   Very   refreshing. 

Maggy  Whiting  makes  like  a  doctor 
on  her  the  cookie  of  "The  Best  Thing 
For  You  Is  Mc'\  The  thrush  pours 
her  heart  out  on  this  one.  The  tempo 
is  iusl  right  for  her,  and  ihe  lyrics 
aren't  bad  cither.  All  in  all  it  adds 
op  tc  Ihrce  minutes  of  dulcet  decibel; 
for  your  hcarine   flap. 

Wilh  ihe  good  comes  the  bad,  how- 
ever, in  ihe  form  of  "Harbor  Lights" 
by  Sammy  Kayc.  The  Kaydettcs  do  a 
ible  injustice  to  the  sonj.  They 
snufT  out  the  "Lights  "  one  by  one  as 
they  drag  their  weary  tonsils  over  the 
tunc.  Kay's  music  hasn't  changed  in 
eons  and   his  few  listeners  aren't  get-

'Double  Door''  To  Open 
Washington  Players  Season 


The  W.ishington  Players  will  open 
their  thirty-second  season  next  Thurs- 
day and  Friday  evenings  in  William 
Smith  Auditorium  with  the  presenta- 
tion of  Elizabeth  McFadden's  mystery 
thriller,  "Double  Door".  The  play  is 
iponaored  by  the  Kent  County  Chapter 
of  the  Children's  Aid  Society. 

Reserved  scats  arc  being  sold  this 
year  for  the  first  time  and  will  be 
on  sale  at  the  door  for  $1.00.  General 
admission  tickets,  also  on  sale  at  the 
door  will  sell  for  75  cents.  Curtain 
time    is    8:30, 

The  play,  sit  in  the  1910  era, 
complete  with  a  Victorian  stage  set- 
ting, is  directed  by  June  Williams 
and  Helen  Roe.  Both  girls  have  been 
active  with  the  Players  for  several 
years,  both  on  and  off  stntfc. 

Casting  for  "Double  Door"  sets  a 
precedent  this  year  with  an  almost 
completely  new  line-up  of  players. 
The  lead  parts  have  been  put  in  the 
hands  of  freshmen  which  is  also  some- 
thing new  for  the    Players. 


The  Victorian  set  is  created  by  Bob 
Wadell  and  Bob  Elder,  the  former 
being  chairman  of  the  stage  crew. 
Also  to  add  to  the  general  effects 
of  an  entiirly  difTercnt  play  are  the 
new  lights,  rented  from  the  Chester 
Players,  which  improve  the  lighting 
facilities  of  the  Players  100  percent. 
Jim  Jones,  electrician  for  the  college 
group,  has  asscntbled  the  lights  and 
put  them  into  working  order  for  the 
presentation. 

"Double  Door",  quoted  by  the  New 
York  Sun  to  be  "A  melodrama  war- 
ranted lo  excointe  the  nerves  and 
send  aitreeable  shivers  up  the  spine" 
is  an  innovation  for  the  Players  this 
year.  Mrs.  E.  Winifred  Opgrandc. 
advisor  to  the  group  slated:  "In  their 
long  rangr  planning  The  Washington 
Players  endeavor  to  present  a  well- 
balanced  fare  of  types  of  drama. 
'Double  Door',  the  first  offering  of 
the  year,  is  a  suspense-building  melo- 
drama which  challenges  the  best  of 
acting    talent." 


Homecoming 
Dance  To  Be 
At  Armory 


The  Homecoming  dance,  sponsored 
by  the  Varsity  Club,  \vill  be  presented 
tomorrow  night  in  the  Armory  from 
9:00  to  1:00  P.M.  with  the  music 
of  Charles  Baker  and  his  orchestra 
Tickets  arc  on  sale  at  $1.75  per  per- 
son. — 

The  decoration  committee  for  the 
dance,  under  the  chairmanship  of 
Mole  Janigian,  has  announced  it: 
plans  for  the  festivity.  The  main  dec- 
orative scheme  will  consist  of  a  large 
silhouette  reproduction  of  William 
Smith  Hall,  Cain  Gymnasium,  and 
Bunting  Library,  placed  behind  the 
bandstand-  A  moon  and  floating  clouds 
will  constitute  the  remainder  of  the 
effect. 

At  the  entrance,  facing  the  band- 
stand, the  committee  is  constructing  a 
long  pond,  covered  with  imitation 
flagstone  and  complete  with  lattice- 
work and  ivy.  Behind  the  pond,  there 
will  be  an  arch  containing  the  name 
and  photograph  of  the  reigning  Home- 
ing  queen.  Spotlights  on  the  sides 
of  the  floor  will  be  used  to  create 
atmosphere  and  highlight  the  decora- 
Ideas  for  the  dan'.i-  were  drawn 
up  by  Mole  Janigian  with  the  ..id  of 
Bill  Kcnworlhey,  a  June  '50  grad- 
uate. 

Working  conjunction  with  the  Var- 
sity Club,  the  Art  Club  has  produced 
the  posters  for  the  advertising  end  of 
dance.  Janigi.in  has  suggested 
the  Art  Club  take  ovi  r  the 
decorations  for  the  Homecoming 
danec  each  year  and  work  with  the 
Varsity  Club  through  a  rcprescnta- 1 
tive  from   the  sports  organiiiation.

Dr.  Gibson 

Addresses 

Fellowship 


The  Washington  College  Religious 
Fellowship  met  on  Tuesday  night  ii 
Hodson  Hall.  The  main  event  of  thi 
evening  was  a  speech  by  Di.  Gibson, 
who  talked  on  the  urgent  necessity  of 
our  civilizations  having  more  thorough 
knowledge  of  human  nature  and  how 
to  deal  with  our  fellow  men  amicably. 

He  rctciTcd  to  the  pessimism  which 
has  been  particularly  acute  sii 
dcvclopmcni  of  the  -Aiom  Bomb  and 
(he  unsettled  state  of  the  world 
that  date  in  1945  when  the  Bom 
dropped  on  Hiroshima.  While  seeing 
no  reason  for  extreme  pessism  he  did 
feel  that  ihcre  waf  reason  to 
skeptical  about  the  possibility 
reaching  any  enduring  solution 
through  the  efforts  of  diplomats  and 
peace  conferences.  The  record 
tory.  he  said,  does  not  justify 
optimism  as  to  the  enduring  qualities 
of  treaties  arrived  at  through  dipli 
malic   negotiations. 

He  discussed  the  enormous  advanct 
of  science  and  said  that  even  the 
scieniists  themselves  were  now 
lurbed  at  the  destructive  potentialities 
of  the  tool  they  have  developed.  He 
pointed  out  thai  our  knowledge  ol 
how  to  deal  with  human  beings  of  all 
races  and  nations  has  not  kept  pace 
wit  hour  knowledge  of  the  physii 
facts  of  the  universe.  He  quoted  seve- 
ral eminent  scientists  that  whjit  the 
world  needs  is  not  more  of  the  pro- 
ducts of  physical  science  but  more 
exhaustive  nndetslanding  of  human 
nature  as  gained  not  only  through  a 
scicniific  study  of  men  but  also 
through  study  of  the  living  records  of 
men  foimd  in  literature  and  the  other 
humanities.  .\  discu.'uion  of  the  points 
of  the  speech  followed. 

The      Fellowship      is      planning 
Christmas    Party    and    Carol   Sing,   the 
date  of  which  will  be  announced  later.

ing IVIonieronien  to  %-ictory  to-

c  flying  into 
the  game  on  the  brunt  of  last  week's 
convincing  33-0  win  over  Galludet  in 
the  nation's  rapltol.  The  Sho'men, 
still  plagued  with  injuries  to  key  play- 
ers, Howard  and  Desmond,  were  also 
bolstered  morally  by  their  victory  over 
Hampdcn-Sydney.  Coach  Montero  has 
placed  emphasis  this  week  on  tackling, 
a  factor  that  was  notably  off-shade 
in  last  week's  encounter. 

Previous  Records  To  Date 

Catholic  U.  brings  with  them  a 
not  too  impressive  record  of  two  wins, 
two  defeats,  and  a  lies.  The  Capitol- 
Lads  have  triumphed  over  Bridge- 
water,  32-0;  and  Galludet,  33-0;  have 
succumed  to  Randolph-Macon,  26-21; 
and  Mount  St.  Mary,  40-7 ;  and  have 
tied  once  mighty  Hopkins,    13-13. 

The  Local-LaLds  have  rolled  up 
32-0  victories  over  Lycoming  (Pa.) 
and  Bridgcwater,  spanked  Swarthmore, 
34-0;  and  ccked  out  a  ihrillcr  over 
Hampdcn-Sydncy,  32-27.  Their  only 
set  backs  came  at  the  hands  of  Ran- 
dolph-Macon, who  took  advantsce  of 
a  fumble  and  a  blocked  kick  to  win 
13-0,  and  Drcxel  Tech,  21-0. 
Boast    Individual  Stars 

Despite  their  records  the  teams 
appear  to  be  well  matched  and  each 
boasts  several  individual  stan.  Tony 
Pelcrossi,  Cardinal  right  end,  has  been 
a  standout  all  year,  grabbing  aerials 
and  setting  up  scons.  Bill  Ennis,  who 
has  scored  54  points  this  season,  and 
who  incidentally  scored  both  C.  U. 
touchdowns  against  W.  C.  in  last 
year's  14-14  tic,  leads  a  light,  speedy  ■ 
backficld  which  averages  about  170" 
pounds. 

The  locals  also  boast  several  stand- 
out that  deserve  mention.  Bonnett, 
Nacrelli,  Ingarra,  and  Cannone  have 
been  in  the  opponents  backficld  con- 
stantly all  year.  Gaitc  Miller,  a  nrw- 
romer  to  the  campus,  has  created 
quite  a  stir  with  his  touchdown  sprints. 
He  crossed  the  goal  line  three  times 
last  week  to  bring  his  total  T.D,  out- 
put to  ten.  The  needle-point  passing 
of  little  John  Wilson  has  drawn  con- 
tinual praise  from  rival  coaches.  It 
was  his  pass  to  Millncr  that  gained 
the  32-27  victory  over  H-S  last  week 
in  ibc  waning  seconds.  A  possible 
change  in  the  Washington  lin-'-up 
may  find  Magliochctti  in  at  rii;ht  half

GUded 
Butterflies 


Two  Adolescents,  Alberto  Moiavia, 
Farrar,  Straus,  1950,  trans.,  by  Bcrlc  ilc 
Zocte  and  .\ngus  Davidson. 

Adolescents  is  a  sociopsyeholo- 
gical  study  of  the  awakening  of  sexual 
awareness,  with  all  its  turbulent  rami- 
fications, in  two  boys,  Agostino  and 
Luca,  made  palatable  by  having  been 
put  together  with  considerable  deli- 
cacy, feeling,  and  literary  skill.  There 
any  complimentary  things  to  be 
said  of  ihc  book:  the  characters  arc 
certainly  drawn;  ihe  psychological  in- 
sight (because  it  is  that  of  an  artist) 
is  undcrsi:tndlng, 
svni|>h:ilbclic,  and 

diltjLuli  and  eliiv 
iic  subject  most 
compcicntly  and 
gracefully  made 
c  o  ni  p  rchensivc; 
Ihe  few  moments 
of  drama  subtly 
and  artistically 
contrived  without 
the  usual  bathes  and  nonsense.  The 
first  siory,  that  of  Agostino,  is  par- 
ticularly good.  In  it  Moravia  traces 
that  agonising  stage  in  .■\gonstine's  bfe 
vhcn  he  first  begins  to  see  his  mother 
IS  a  woman  and  not  as  his  own  per- 
onal  goddess  —  a  very  important 
point  in  any  boy's  life.  The  other 
story  is  essentially  of  Luca's  first 
sexual  experience  and  of  the  soul- 
searching  torments  of  a  boy  about  to 
become  a  man.  They  are  both  beauti- 
fully done,  and,  in  short,  if  slubbering 
around  through  268  pages  of  the  dank, 
doleful,  and  desparing  depths  of 
puerile  emotion  does  not  make  you  a 
little  sick,  as  it  did  me.  Two  Adoles- 
cents is  a  fine  and  moving  book,  one 
which  should  be  of  great  interest  and 
one  which   will  surely  enlighten. 

So  far  as  I  know,  no  one  (not  even 
on  the  dust  jacket)  has  gone  so  far  as 
to  call  this  book  a  novel,  and  that 
b  good.  I  think,  because  the  novel  is 
form  and  art  has  no  business 
basing  a  complete  work  on  such 
flimsy  stuff  as  the  love  life  of  fifteen- 
year-olds,  however  well  it  is  done. 
Literature  is  full  of  studies  of  the 
adolescent  (e.g.  Proust's  Remembrance 
of  Things  Past)  but  in  great  literature 
:hese  studies  arc  properly  woven  into 
a  broad  tapestry  whose  main  concern 
is  the  death  of  kings.  Sociology  is  the 
offspring  of  anthropology  and  that 
iscuous  and  dissolute  wench,  the 
Industrial  Revolution,  and  an  errant 
daughter  it  is  nowdays,  too.  Offhand, 
do  not  know  of  a  single  good  result, 
piriiual  or  aesthetic,  ot  the  Industrial 
Revolution.  The  two  great  studies  it 
has  most  affected  arc  anthropology  and 
psychology,  and,  in  exploiting  these, 
has  affected  art.  Masterpieces  of 
literature  have  been  produced,  it  is 
true,  in  and  of  this  atmosphere  — 
but  their  liicraes  are,  almost  universal. 
ly,  the  breakdown  of  society  and  the 
uus  consequences  of,  as  a  sign 
ouuide  Jersey  City  proudly  announces. 
All  for  Industry".  It  seems  to  me,  and 
I  freely  admit  the  narrowness,  not  only 
of  my  knowledge,  but  on  my  thought, 
that  sociology  and  psychology  have 
gone  a-whoring  after  [he  wretched, 
degraded,  and  thoroughly  undone  spe- 
cimen we  call  Modern  Man.  AJl  of 
which  is  not  necessarily  a  criticism  of 
Two  Adolescents,  but  of  the  tendency 
of  contemporary  art  and  thought, 
which  loo  often  isolates  and  builds 
monuments  to  what  arc,  finally,  very 
unimportant   things. 

Seminar  Explored 

New  York  Recently 

New  York  was  philosophically 
plored  last  week  by  members  of  the 
philosophy  seminar  under  the  guid- 
ance of  Dr.  John  Smith. 

The  group  viewed  the  Riverside 
Church.  St.  Patrick's  Cathedral  and 
the  Church  of  Si.  John  the  Divine 
and  together  discussed  the  philosophi- 
cal aspects  of  these  buildings.  Later, 
as  relaxation,  .some  went  to  the  Broad- 
way production  of  "Death  of  a  Sales- 
man", others  to  sec  the  Rocketies  at 
Radio  City,  and  the  third  group  to 
watch  Dagmar  on  television,  in  a 
studio.

Gettysburg  Invaded 
By  History  Class 


dcr  to  get  a  perspective  that 
a  text  book  could  never  provide,  the 
American  history  class  took  a  field 
trip  Monday  to  see  for  themselves  just 
what  went  on  at  the  famous  battle  of 
Gettysburg.  The  group  was  accompan- 
ied by  Dr.  Charles  B.  Clark,  instructor 
of  the  course. 

The  main  purpose  of  the  trip  was  to 
see  the  battlefield  where  the  "turning 
point"  of  the  Civil  War  took  plate 
and  lo  view  the  cyclorama  of  Ceitys 
burg  —  a  huge  oil  painting  done  by 
a  Frenchman,  Fhilipotcaux,  showing 
the  battlefield  scenes  and  their  loca' 
tion. 

Also  of  great  interest  was  the  elect 
ric  map  showing  how  the  battle  wa- 
fought  and  explaining  maneuver  rela 
tions  and  the  highlights  of  Gettysburg. 
This  particular  map  has  been  voted  by 
military  men,  historians  and  educators 
to  be  the  outstanding  mu&eum  exhibit 
in  the  United  States. 

The  battlefield  itself,  now  under 
the  Federal  Park  Service,  consists  of 
16,000  acres,  52  miles  of  driveway  and 
2.000  monuments  to  heroes  of  the  wa; 
The  battle  of  Gettysburg  was  fought 
the  first  three  days  of  July  in  18G3 
and  from  this  point  on,  the  South 
continually  fell  back.  150,000  men 
took  part  in  the  battle  and  out  of 
these  came  .50,000  casualties.  In  fifty 
minutes  of  attack  on  the  Gettysburg 
field  there  were  more  men  lost  in 
casualties  than  in  the  first  five  days 
of  Ihe  battle  of  Normandy  in  World 
War  II.

iitakcs  of  one  of  last  year's  Muhen- 
burgers. 

I  didn't  talk  with  the  prof  alter 
class. 

1  wouldn't  recite  in  class  until  I 
was  called  upon.. 

I  didn't  ask  questions  in  class,  or 
talk  to  the  profs  in  the  hall. 

I  didn't  write  a  volume  when  I 
could  answer  a  quiz  in  four  sentences. 

I  thought  it  would  show  bad  taste 
to  complain  of  a  mistake  in  grading 
my   paper. 

I  never  made  excuses  when  I  was 
absent. 

I  was  stupid  enough  not  to  laugh 
at  the  pro's  jokes  unless  ihcy  were 
funny,

H'S  Jackets  Shed  In  Last  30  Seconds 


SportsLights 


By  JOEL  GUANDOLO 


You'll  feel  it  in  the  air  —  the  old  college  spirit,  that  is.  Home 
comings  the  country  over  always  lend  an  extra  punch  to  the  play  of 
the  home  team,  and  you'll  see  it  as  well  as  feel  it  here  on  the  "Hill' 
tomorrow  afternoon. 

The  Monteromen  will  be  making  their  last  bid  for  the  Mason 
Dixon  Football  Championship  that  will  be  decided  definitely  next 

^.^ week.  Dickerson  scoring  system,  used  to  determine 

the  standings  of  the  M-D  clubs,  finds  Randolph- 
Macon  (Va.)  and  Western  Maryland  top  con- 
tenders for  the  crown.  If  these  two  squads  can  win 
their  remaining  league  games,  they  will  become 
co-champs  and  retire  for  another  year.  However, 
should  one  or  both  fail,  Washington  College  could 
share  the  winner's  circle  by  defeating  Catholic 
University. 

Two  rounds  of  this  three-way  fight  for  the 
championship  will  be  fought  tomorrow.  C.  U.  visits  the  Sho'men 
while  the  Maconmen  travel  to  Hampdcn-Sydney.  This  southern 
tussel,  like  the  local  fracas,  should  be  a  honey.  A  Western  Maryland 
vs.  Johns  Hopkins  game  rounds  out  the  conference  on  the  18th. 
Now  and  Then 

Tlie  Hampdcn-Sydney  game  of  last  week,  that  the  locals  should 
have  won  by  three  TDs  instead  of  five  points,  brought  to  mind 
another  game  of  the  previous  season.  It  was  a  Shore  homecoming, 
and  the  Randolph  Macon  squad  was  stuck  with  the  short  end  of  a 
20-0  score.  Like  Saturday's  eye-opener,  thirty  seconds  remained  in 
the  game.  Little  John  Wilson  who  had  starred  all  afternoon  faded, 
from  the  fifty  yard  line  looking  for  a  receiver  who  was  not  to  be 
found  .  .  .  Sizing  up  the  predicament  John  took  off,  pigskin  in  hand, 
and  raced  half  the  field  for  the  score.  The  "Triple-threater"  is  still 
"hot"  and  unpredictable  (see  H-S  vs.  W.C.  story)  but  the  '49  good 
measure  punch  has  become  a  six  point  necessity  it  seems. 

Eight  for  nine  sounds  fine  as  far  as  medals  are  concerned.  And 
that's  the  number  of  honors  the  thin-clads  brought  back  to  the 
"Hill"  from  the  Baltimore  Olympic  Club's  championship  meet  last 
Saturday.  The  four  medal  holders  from  W.C.  were  headed  by  the

On  The  Wrong  "Footsie" 
Apologies  to  Paul  "Footsie"  Desmond  who,  like  yours  truly,  was 
surprised  to  find  a  picture  of  Jack  Nacrclli  over  his  name  in  the 
Elm  last  week.  Likewise,  quarter-back  Nacrelli  is  asked  to  forgive 
both  the  editor  and  the  sleepy-eyed  make-up  man  whom  we  shall 
leave  in  the  "sack"  this  week.

Dryden  Sets 
Record  For 
Four  Miles 


One  hunilrcd  and  iwcnLy  pounds  o[ 
muscle  and  endurance,  Filinore  Dry 
den,  captain  of  the  Shore  cross-couniry 
squad  broke  another  record  last  Satur- 
day at  the  Del-Mar  Cross-Country 
Championship  in  Baltimore. 

Although  the  team  took  second 
place,  behind  the  well  rounded  Balti- 
more Olympic  Club,  Dryden  clinched 
an  individual  conquest  by  trouncing 
Frank  Pflaging  of  the  B.O.C.  in  the 
remarkable  time  of  20  minutes,  41 
seconds. 

Cut   12  Seconds 

This  betters  the  old  mark  of  20.53 
by  twelve  seconds  and  unquestionably 
leaves  future  thinclads  a  difliculi 
record  to  challenge.  Dryden's  othci 
record  which  was  set  on  the  W.C, 
course  was  recently  broken  by  Hop- 
kins, hence  the  "Human  Machine" 
was  determined  to  establish  anothi 
one  before  he  graduates  this  February. 
Becker  Outstanding 
xth  place  in  this  four  mile  jour- 
ney went  to  Paul  Becker  whose  per- 
petual pace  brought  him  from  be- 
hind to  pass  five  men  at  the  finish. 
Third,  fourth  and  fifth  harriers  for 
the  Maroon  and  Black  were  Tom 
Benson,  Ellsworth  Boyd  and  Jack  Mac- 
CoUuogh  who  were  responsible  for 
edging  out  King's  College,  Salisbury 
State    Teacher's    College,   and    Mt.    St. 

ary's  in  the  scoring  column. 
Olympic    Club    Strong 

The  Baltimore  Olympic  Club  offer- 
ed   four    other    men,    George    Brown, 
jimeson.  John    Paszck   and    Oscar 
Cromer,  who  formed  a   balanced  unit 

hich  were  deserving  of  the  first  place 
;am  honor  they  achieved. 

The  team  lineup  with  low  score  con- 

rming  the  winner,  is  as  follows:

John  Wilson's  forty  yard  touchdown 
heave  to  Wayne  Millner  in  the  closing 
seconds  of  the  game  gave  Washington 
College  a  32-27  upset  victory  over  the 
highly  regarded  Hampden-Sydney 
Tigers  on  Kibler  Field  last  Saturday. 
Xlie  game  was  a  spine-tingling  affair 
which  saw  H-S  come  from  behind 
vylh  two  touchdowns  to  take  the  lead 
in  the  last  few  minutes  of  the  final 
(luaricr  only  to  have  victory  snatched 
from  (heir  grasp. 

Miller  Scores  Early 
It  looked  as  if  the  Sho'men  were 
going  to  make  a  runaway  of  it  in  the 
opening  minutes  of  the  tilt.  Halfback 
Gaite  Millner,  who  scored  three  T.D.'s_ 
took  a  pitchout  from  Wilson  on  the 
third  play  from  scrimmage  and  sped 
59  yards  down  the  sidelines  for  a 
touchdown.  Wilson's  place-kick  was 
blocked. 

After  an  e.tchange  of  punis.  Tiger 
end  Ed  Dameron  recovered  a  Millner 
fumble  at  the  W.C,  29  yard  marker. 
The  Virginians  failed  to  capitalize  on 
this  break,  however,  and  W.C,  took 
over  on  the  19.  The  Sho'men  advanced 
idlicld  in  seven  plays,  but  Glad- 
,  a  steller  defender  for  the  Tigers, 
grabbed  another  fumble  by  Millner 
and  gnlloped  49  yards  to  tie  the  hall 
game.  Bob  Blair  missed  the  extra 
point. 

Midway  through  the  second  stanza, 
Wilson  hit  Millner  with  a  -14  yard 
aerial  for  Washington's  second  score, 
Wilson  converted  and  the  Sho'men  left 
the  field  for  halftime  with  a  13-6  lead. 
Milbier  Tallies  Again  In  Third 
Hampden  .  Sydney  dominated  the 
play  in  the  third  period  but  couldn't 
get  a  scoring  move  under  way.  Follow- 
ing an  exchange  of  punts  the  Sho-men 
took  over  on  their  own  25.  On  second 
down,  Millner  scooted  around  left  end. 
and  behind  perfect  blocking,  raced  64 
yards  to  paydirt.  The  Tigers  bounced 
back  with  a  64  yard  march.  Bob 
Leonard  crashing  over  tackle  for  a 
T.D.  Bob  Blair  converted. 

Johnny   Wilson's  passing  sparked   a 
64   yard   scoring   maneuver   that   initi- 
aled   the    fourth    quarter.    Tosses    to 
Plocharski    and    Millner    put    the    ball 
on   the   W-S  eleven   and   Wilson   went 
the  remaining  distance  on  a   "bootleg" 
play.    Wilson    abo    added    the    extra 
point  and  Washington  led  26-13. 
Tigers    Strike   Back 
The  Virginians  took  the  kickoff  and 
roared  right  back  with  a  57  yard  sortie. 
II  Gruver  culminated  the  move  with 
a    two   yard   plunge   and    Blair   kicked 
he  placement.  A  few  moments  later. 
Hair   passed    to   Gruver    for  56   yards, 
his   put    the   ball   on   the  W.C.  nii 
■ard  stripe.  In  three  plays  H-S  had 
touchdown,  Leonaid  bucked  over  from 
Ihc  five.  When  Blair  added  (he  ex 
point  the  Tigers  led  27-26  with  little 
more  ihau  a  minute  to  play. 

the  Monteromen  were  not  to  be 
denied  the  vicioiy.  \Vilson  returned 
the  kickolf  to  W.C.'s  24.  "Slingin" 
John  then  tossed  to  Miller  for  17  and 
a  hist  down  at  the  41.  Three  passes 
went  incomplete  before  Wilson  hit 
Miller  again  with  an  18  yarder  to  set 
the  stage  for  the  payoff  switch  to 
Wayne   Millner.

It  was  the  fourth  win  in 
for  the  Maroon  and  Black,  while  for 
Hampdcn-Sydney  it  was  the  fourth 
loss.  The  Tigers   have  won   three. 

Miller  and  Wilson  were  the  offen- 
sive standouts  for  the  Shoremen. 
Miller  tallied  three  times  and  gained 
153  yards  in  ten  carries.  He  now  has 
ten  touchdowns  and  has  averaged  8.5 
yards  per  carry  in  the  six  games. 
Wilson  completed  8  of  16  passes  for 
196  yards.  He  passed  for  two  T.D's, 
scored  one  himself,  and  added  two 
extra  points.

Glee  Club 
Introduces  Song 


The  Glee  Club  introduced  a  new 
Washington  College  song  to  the  stud- 
ents at  assembly  yesterday. 

Words  and  music  were  written  by 
Mrs.  Winifred  Opgrandc,  and  is  the 
first  entry  in  the  competition  for  an 
ofiieial  college  song.  Despite  its  168 
year  history,  the  college  has  no  official 
song  well  known  to  the  students  or 
alumni.  It  is  understood  that  other 
songs  arc  being  written  and  will  be 
presented   at   a   later  date. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the 
words  of  the  song  written  by  Mn. 
Opgrande. 

OUR  ALMA  MATER 
Out  Alma  Mater  we'll  always  cherish, 
We  pledge  to  thee  our  fondest  dream; 
Maroon  and  Black  will  never  perish 
While  honor,  truth,  and  service  gleam; 
Beneath  thy  banner  will  always  gather 
Your  loyal  sons  and  daughters  true; 
Thy  hallowed  halls  of  fame  and  valor 
\i'ill  guard  us  all  the  long  years 
through.

Cominitiee  was  convinced  that  the

Evening  Adult  Education 
To  Set  New  W.  C.  Precedent 


Washington  College  will  set  a  new 
precedent  this  year  by  endeavoring  to 
establish  an  evening  program  of  adult 
education  on  the  college  campus.  The 
classes,  which  arc  to  be  non-accred- 
ited, will  begin  somciimc  in  Novem- 
ber and  run  for  a  period  of  ten  weeks. 

Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson,  President  of 
Washington  College,  stated  that  tlic 
teaching  program  will  dilTcr  from 
that  of  the  formal  undergraduate 
classes,  which  arc  accredited.  All 
classes  arc  to  be  run  on  a  seminar 
basis  with  no  examinations  bcin^  given. 
The  teaching  augmented  by  special 
assistant   lecturers  from  outside. 

The  charge  for  these  courses  will 
be  very  nominal,  Dr.  Gibson  explained. 
Each  ten  week  course  will  cost  ap- 
pro.\!inaiely    five    dollars    in    order    lo 


compensate    the    instructors. 

.Ml  courses  arc  intentionally  planned 
for  the  non-specialty  adult  who  de- 
sires only  to  learn  more  about  a  field 
of  vocational  or  current  interest.  The 
only  requirement  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  class  is  that  there  be  at 
least  ten  persons  interested  in  tak- 
ing   it. 

Among  the  courses  which  will  be 
taught  arc:  present  day  economic 
theory;  history  of  the  Far  East,  of 
Europe,  of  Maryland,  of  Latin  Amer- 
ica; appreciation  o(  art;  background 
of  modern  science;  modern  educa- 
tional theory  and  practice ;  English 
and  American  literature,  both  earlier 
and  contemporary;  prartical  cxposi- 
tional  writing;  and  study  of  German, 
French,    and    Spanish.

Players  Open  Year  With  'Double  Door' 


Thanksgiving  Dance  First 
Of  Cotillion  Series  Here 


To  siart  ilic  siiuknis  of  Wasliiiig[i 
Cdllegc  ofT  on  a  good  vacation,  ODK 
has  planned  the  scmi-forinal  Thank: 
giving  Dance,  to  l>e  held  Tuesday 
evening  at  8:00.  November  21,  in  Ca; 
Gymnasium.  The  dance  is  the  first 
of  the  year  in  be  held  under  the 
Cotillion  Plan.  Others  are:  The  Christ- 
mas  Dance,  the  Mid-Year  Prom,  and 
the  June  Ball. 

Cotillion  dances,  sponsored  by  ODK 
were  introduced  to  the  campus  Ihi? 
year.  Thus  far.  the  plan  has  not  met 
with  too  mucli  student  approval,  but 
it  is  hoped  by  ODK  that  the  Thanks- 
giving Dant;c  will  enable  the  program 
to  be  carried  on. 

Cotillion  tickets  will  be  sold  through 
Monday.  Noveinber  20.  If  by  then  the 
needed  100  sales  have  not  been  i 
the  ticket  price  for  ihe  ODK  will  be 
$2.00.  However,  if  the  needed  amount 
on  tickets  can  be  sold,  tickets  boughi 
at  the  door  will  be  $3.00.  according 
to   the  Cotillion    plan. 

To  familiarize  students  with  the 
Cotillion  plan  again,  it  works  as 
follows:  Four  dances  per  year  are 
given  under  the  plan.  Holders  of  the 
Cotillion  tickets  which  cost  58.00  per 
year  or  $4J0  per  semester  will  be  ad- 
mitted to  the  dante  on  showing  the 
tickets.  Prices  for  tickets  sold  at  the 
door  for  each  of  the  dances  will  be 
S3.00.  Students  who  attend  all  four 
dances  that  have  boughi  Cotillion 
tickets    save    S-1-00    per    year. 

As  a  money-saving  plan  for  W.C. 
students,  the  Cotillion  plan  should 
prove  popular.  However,  the  main 
problem  appears  to  be  scrapping  up 
the  initial  $8.00.  A  member  of  ODK 
Staled:  ""Ii's  up  to  the  students  . 
They  can  make  or  break  the  four  big 
dances  of  the  year  by  their  reaction 
to  the  Cotillion  Plan." 


Sadie  Hawkins 
Dance  Saturday 


A  largf  turnout  is  expected  for  the 
traditional  Sadie  Hawkins  dance  to 
be  held  Saturday  night  in  Hodson 
Hall,  8:00  to  12:00  P.M.  The  popu- 
lar dance  is  fponsored  annually  by 
the    Senior    Class. 

An  unusual  feature  of  the  dance 
is  that  ihL-  girls  invite  the  boys,  es- 
cort them  to  and  from  the  dance, 
and  pay  all  expenses.  Stags,  both  boy:i 
and  girls,  will  be  admitted,  however. 
Admission  is  75  cents  per  couple,  50 
cen;s   stag.

presentation  of  the  newly  formed 
Washington  College  dance  band.  In- 
termission plans  include,  in  addition 
to  a  Sadie  Hawkins  race,  a  marriaiic 
ceremony  uniting  the  best  dressed

ducted by  "Marryin'  Sam"  who  re- 
cently arrived  from  Franklin  and

Story  Behind 
The  Story 


It  had  been  hoped  that  The  Salis- 
iiry  Stale  Champion  VFVV  Drum 
and  Bugle  Corps  would  be  able  to 
take  part  in  the  Pep  Rally  and  Home 
coming  Game  ceremonies  this  past 
week  end.  That  it  could  not  was 
announced  by  Ed  "Parsons,  director  ol 
band  who  stated,  "We  greatly 
appreciate  the  offer  to  participate  in 
the  Washington  College  Homecoming 
cclcbraiion.  Unfortunately  the  mem- 
l)ers  ill  the  band  were  refused  their 
individual  recjuests  to  be  given  time 
off  from  their  various  jobs  in  and 
around  Salisbury.  We  hope,  however, 
to  take  part  in  some  future  activity 
at  the  college." 

The  possibility  that  the  group  could 
be  secured  was  suggested  by  Sand 
Jones,  Senior  Class  President  and  ; 
pergonal  friend  of  Mr.  Parsons.  Jones 
spoke  to  Lee  Cook.  President  of  the 
Varsity  Club  which  sponsored  Hoi 
coming,  and  with  his  backing  tele- 
phoned Mr.  Parsons  in  Salisbnr)'.  The 
matter  was  brought  before  the  m 
hers  of  the  band  who  later  requested 
permission  from  their  employers  to  at- 
tend the  affair,  hut  due  to  the  heavy 
vohime  of  business  on  Saturday,  per- 
ission  was  not  granted. 
In  the  meantime.  Cook  and  Jones 
:;iit  to  Dr.  Gibson,  President  of  Wash- 
ington College,  and  informed  him  of 
their  action.  Dr.  Gibson  extended  his 
complete  cooperation,  and  arranged 
for  the  VFVV  group  to  eat  at  Hodson 
Hall,  and  for  Cain  Hall  to  be 
converted  to  a  temporary  dormitory 
to  house  them. 

When  informed  that  the  band 
would  be  unable  to  attend,  Dr.  Gibson 
commented  that  it  had  been  a  good 
idea,  and  congrutulatc-d  Ihe  two  stu- 
dents on  their  initiative,  and  expressed 
his  disappointment  at  the  outcome.

By  MR.  EDIVARD  BRV BAKER      , 

The  Washington  Players  opened 
their  season  last  nipht  with  an  intense 
and  fascinating  production  of  "Double 
Door",  a  melodrama  by  Elizabeth 
McFaddcn. 

Directed  by  June  Williams,  "Double 
Door"  is  presented  with  a  seriousness 
which  leaves  some  comic  possibilities 
in  the  background,  but  which  arouses 
the  audience's  concern,  stimulates 
their  feelings,  and  gives  them  more 
than  a  few  thrilling  moments.  To  use 
a  trite  but  true  word,  the  play  is 
Cripping. 

"Double  Door"  concerns  the  attempt 
of  Victoria  Van  Bret,  an  aging  spin- 
ster, to  break  up  the  marriage  of  her 
brother,  Rip,  with  a  woman  whom 
Victoria  considers  beneath  her  class. 
The  situation  as  it  is  written  is  some- 
what incredible,  but  across  the  foot- 
lights such  things  aren't  noticed.  Wo 
are  satisfied  to  accept  it  as  a  picture 
where  horror  is  intensified  by  the 
plight  of  young  lovers  harassed  by  a 
fascinating  villainess. 

Pat  Fennel  dominates  the  stage 
with  her  characterization  of  Victoria 
Van  Bret.  She  is  a  dry,  humorless, 
domineering,  joy-killing,  intriguing 
devil  with  hypnotic  eyes  and  grasping 
hands.  She  perhaps  sacrifices  variety 
and  sublcty  to  gain  power,  but  her 
tal  break- 


down in  the  final  scene  is  unusually 
convincing,  giving  a  wonderful  finisll 
to  her  performance  and  to  the  play. 
As  Caroline  Van  Bret,  Victoria's 
sister.  Marge  Glose  makes  a  minor 
role  one  of  major  importance.  Her 
acting  is  fine.  She  develops  the  pathos 
of  Caroline's  position  with  an  excep- 
tionally good  portrayal  of  childish 
simplicity. 

Pat  Bowes  and  Fred  La  Wall  play 
th'--  young  lovers,  Anne  and  Rip.  They 
command  an  adequate  share  of  the 
audience's  sympathy  as  they  gradu- 
ally come  to  understand  themselves 
and  the  mess  they  arc  in.  Anne's  big 
speech  in  the  final  scene  of  act  two, 
as  Pat  Bowes  delivered  it,  was  cer- 
tainly one  of  the  high  points  of  the 
play,  I  found  myself  wondering  why 
Rip  did  not  inherit  some  of  the  Van 
Bret  passion  (of  which  Victoria  had 
so  much)  until  the  same  final  scene 
of  act  two  when  he  rose  to  the  oc- 
casion. 

As  the  sympathetic  Doctor  Sully, 
Jim  Eiring  turned  in  a  good  perform- 
•ince.  The  dialogue  in  his  scenes  with 
Anne  moved  rapidly,  a  pleasant  con- 
to  the  slower  pace  of  the  rest 
of    the    play. 

Speci.ii  mention  should  be  made 
of  Bob  Brink.  Mendel  Heilig,  and 
wcl  Sensabaueh  all  of  whom 
hiivcd  good  characterizations  with 
few    lines. 

Bob  Waddi'll,  as  stage  manager, 
ind  Jim  .[ones,  as  electrician,  provided 
n  setting  whirh  efTectively  underscored 
the  mood  of  the  play,  fr.d-'ed,  the 
Players  are  to  be  congratulated  for 
•  he  attention  they  have  given  to  a 
host  of  technicr-J  details.  Even  the  in- 
tf-rmisst'on  music  must  have  been 
chosen  wi'h  e.vpert  care. 

1  h-ard  bv  th--  grape  vine  that 
"Double  Door"  is  the  plavers'  first 
nttrmot  at  melodrnma,  Thfy  have 
done  this  one  well  and  should  feel 
'ncouracd  to  do  more  in  the  years 
'o  come.  After  so  much  has  been  done 
so  well,  it  is  a  sorrv  thing  to  realize 
there  will  be  onlv  two  performances.

ia  ihe  tutuie, 

Ihc  major  unpleauai  memory  chat 
we  haie  u>  of  tne  parade  downtown 
la&L    iriday    night.    In    the    hnt    pli 
oul)  on  estimated  31>','d  ot  the  student 
body    were    there.    I  hii    50%    seemed 
very  wiUiiig  and   eager   to  parctcipqte 
in   the  parade   but  did   not   seem 
know  exactly  what  (o  do  or  what  ' 
expected.  AVhy?  Was  it   because   those 
Lttat  were  in  charge  of  the  parade  did 
not  have  the  time  to  make  plans  tor 
the  parade  or  just  what  was  the  rea- ' 
son.   It    takes   more   than  ju^t   wishful 
thinking  to  make  any  event  a  success. 

In  the  second  place,  all  oi  the  Fresh- 
men boys  were  not  there  and  some  o£ 
them  that  were  there  were  noc  in 
Cheir  pajamas.  What  can  be  done? 

it  seems  to  us  that  in  this  world 
there  are  leaders  and  followers.  This 
is  an  obvious  statement.  However,  we 
isk,  is  it  not  the  responsibility  o£  the 
leaders  to  see  that  the  followers  are 
given  proper  guidance. 

We  believe  that  it  is.

n    fi    October    1    wrote    a    column 

about  the  Ml.  Vernon  Literary  Society 

which    I    indirectly    e.spressed    the 


opinion 


that    the    activities    ol    th.i 


organization  bore  little  relation  to 
things  literary.  I  still  hold  that  opin- 
ion and  the  Society  itself  has  con- 
vinced many  other  people,  who  arc 
much  less  concerned  with  literature 
than  1  am.  that  there  was  some  basis 
for  the  things  I  said  a  month  ago.  I 
would  suggest  {with  credit  to  the 
gentleman  who  created  Barnaby)  that 
The  Ml.  Vernon  Literary  Society 
change  its  name  to  The  Little  Men's 
Chowder  and  Marching  Society,  be- 
cause,    to     have 


med

Elm  that  a  liter- 
ary society  has 
decided  to  give  a 
football  SCO  r  e- 
x>ard  to  the  col- 
;ge  is  outrageous, 
*cn  indecent.  1 
:njoy  a  fooiball 
game  as  much  as 
Blom  [he     next     book- 

worm,  and  I  would  welcome  a  score- 
board as  much  as  any  football-player. 
and  I  think  it  a  hne  thing  that  n 
campus  organization  can  provide  one, 
but  the  point  is,  that  the  Mt.  Vernon 
Society  should  come  out  from  behind 
iLs  false  five-foot  shelf  and  stop  pre- 
tending to  be  literary.  Pus.iy looting 
is  not  good  for  the  soul  —  it  breeds 
all  sorts  of  nasty  things;  complexes 
and  the  like.  In  the  knowledge  of 
the  secretai7  of  the  Society,  it  has 
never  given  a  book  to  the  library,  at 
least  such  a  radical  thing  has  not 
happened  in  the  last  two  years.  No  one 
would  object  to  a  society  meeting 
every  two  weeks  for  a  general  bull- 
session.  It  does  not  have  to  play  at 
being  cultural.  Come.  Vince.  let  us 
call  a  spade  a  spade.

Larry  Wescott 
One  of  the  most  outstanding  senior 
en  is  Lawrence  Wescott,  preferably 
known  as  Larry  but  called  "Wes"  or 
The  Pope"  more  often  than  not. 
Larry  came  to  the  Hill  in  1947  after 
graduating  from  Catonsvillc  High, 
since  he  has  entered  W.C.  he  has  l>cen 
ctive  in  many  organizations  and  was 
ppointed  to  "Who's  Who  in  Ameri- 
nn  Colleges  and  Universities"  this 
fall.  "The  Pope"  is  a  member  of 
the  Newman  Club  and  was  president

What's 
New? 


From  The  President 


I  am  sure  that  the  great  majority 
of  us  are  extremely  proud  of  Wash- 
igton  College  —  proud  of  its  tradi- 
tions, iti  scholarly  rank,  its  program 
ImlU  currioilar  and  extracurricular, 
and  of  at  least  those  buildings  on  our 
cainpiu  io  which  we  can  take  pride.  I 
realize  clearly  that  we  are  in  desperate 
ced  ot  more  adequate  dormitory 
facilities   for  women   and   men,   parti 

larly  lor  women.  These  we  must 
provide. 

t  the  same  time,  through  the 
generosity  of  alumni  and  friends  of 
the  College,  we  have  accjuired  several 
handsome  buildings  within  the  past 
decade.  Our  library,  our  science  build- 
ing, Hudson  Hall_  and  our  two  new 
dormitories  arc  second  to  none.  They 
are  not  only  useful  but  beautiful 
buildings. 

But  no  person  will  be  interested 
in  further  benefactions  to  us  ur 
the  buildings  already  given  are  taken 
care  of.  Despite  all  the  efforts  of  oui 
maintenance  stall,  Hodson  Hall  is  be 
ing  gradually  but  seriously  damaged 
by  the  roughness  and  thoughtlessness 
of  some  members  of  our  student  body. 
I  suppose  that  the  per-ons  who  post 
notices  in  the  lobby  of  the  building 
arc  not  aware  of  the  costliness  as  well 
as  the  beauty  of  the  paneling  they 
are  defacing.  I  know,  too,  that  most 
of  the  minor  abuses  to  paneling,  doors, 
and  furniture  which  eventually  add 
up  to  major  abusts  are  a  result  of 
thoughtlessness. 

1  appeal  to  all  students  to  take 
care  of  our  properly,  to  avoid  any 
carelessness  or  thoughtlessness  which 
may  be  damaging  or  cause  unsightli- 


ness.  I   lake  this  occasion  particularly 

junscl  against  the  posting  of  any 

placards      and      other      materials,      of 

whatever  description,  in  the  lobby  or 

the  outside  of   Hodson   Hall,  and 

doors,   door    frames,   and    walls   of 

other    buildings,   Bullctui    boards    ore 

available  elsewhere  on   the  campus. 

While  on  this  subject  1  also  bespeak 
your  care  in  the  disposing  of  litter. 
The  fact  that  the  Snack  Bar  is  small 
and  crowded  means  simply  that  we 
must  take  unusual  tare  in  disposing 
of  cigarette  butts  and  paper  of  various 
soru.  The  same  thing  is  trOe  of  our 
hallways.  At  the  present  time  we  have 
ordered  sand  urns  to  be  placed  at 
the  entrances  of  all  the  classroom 
buildings,  the  library,  and  Hodson 
Hall.  Please  use  them  when  disposing 
of  cigaicile  butts  and  other  trash.  If 
we  do  not  take  pride  in  the  appear- 
ance of  Washington  College,  no  one 
else  is  likely  to  do  so.  We  may  very 
well  forfeit  the  opportunity  for  a 
handsome  Student  Union  Building  or 
for  a  dormitory  simply  because  some 
visitor  to  the  campus  is  displeased  at 
the  litter  which  defaces  its  buildings. 
Your  carelessly  disposed  cigarette 
butts  and  tra.sh,  your  thoughtless  mar- 
ring of  furniture  and  buildings,  may 
easily  cost  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
dollars,  i  urge  you  to  lend  your  aid 
and  cooperation  in  every  possible  way 
to  preserve  the  cleanliness  and  beauty 
of  our  buildings,  our  walks,  and  our 
hallways. 

Cordially, 

DANIEL  Z.  GIBSON 

President. 


In  this  issue  of  the  EL.M  will  be 
found  an  apology  for  last  week's 
assembly  program.  We  think  that  iht 
apology  is  definitely  in  order.  How- 
ever, an  apology  is  hke  locking  the 
bam  after  the  horse  gets  out.  Why 
let  the  horse  get  out  in  the  first 
placer' 

We  cannot  see  how  a  program  thai 
was  in  such  poor  Uste  could  reach 
the  point  of  presentation.  Surely 
there  must  have  been  at  least  one 
rehearsal  of  the  program.  Surely  this 
one  rehearsal  gave  the  opportunity  to 
edit  the  program. 

We  as  college  studenu  want  the 
nghi  to  a  certain  amount  of  freedom 
but  we  should  also  remember  that 
with  freedom  comes  responsibility.  By 
the  lime  we  are  college  students  we 
should  all  have  some  sense  of  what  is 
fit  and  appropriate. 

We  feci  that  the  faculty  here  would 
appreciate  a  "uke^.H'  on  them  that 
vvas  in  good  clean  fun,  as  part  of  the 
program  was,  but  the  good  was  greatly 
overbalanced    by   the   bad. 

We  could  keep  our  mouih  shut  arid 
fwrgei  the  entire  affair  but  if  salt  is 
iuM/<d  in  a  wound  it  nuikes  quite  an 

I-ei  us  all  try  to  profit  by  one  faux 


To  the  Editor  of  the 

Washington    Elm: 

After  witnessing  the  assembly  pro- 
5rtim  sponsored  by  the  F.T.A.  on 
November  9,  I  think  apologies  are  in 
order  to  President  Gibson,  Ihe  faculty, 
and  the  student  body.  The  program, 
as  presented,  was  completely 
disgusting.  I  hope  that  the  student 
body  will  not  levy  the  blame  on  our 
F.T.A.  group  as  the  program  was  by 
no  means  symbolic  of  us,  and  most 
of  our  members  were  completely  obliv- 
ious of  the  program  as  it  was  given. 
If  criticism  is  to  be  given,  and  I 
feel  that  it  should  be — it  should  be 
cast  upon  the  president  and  program 
committee  of  our  group  as  it  was  our 
thoughtlessness  and  irresponsibility,  not 
that  of  our  functioning  organization, 
Wc  wish  as  a  group  to  apologize  to 
Dr.  Minnie  B.  Knipp,  our  sponsor. 
In  the  future,  I  hope  our  F.T.A. 
Chapter  will  be  worthy  of  the  name 
wc  have  chosen  to  represent — Gilbert 
W.  Mead.  Hereafter,  I  assure  you 
that  more  discretion  will  be  practiced 
in  making  our  F.T.A.  Group  an  integ 
ral  part  of  Washington  Colicge. 
Sincerely, 

June  Williams 
President— F.T.A.  Chapter

Congratulations  to  Big  Smitty  who 
lost  his  pin  to  a  Boston  gal  several 
weeks  ago.  There's  still  hope  for  the 
Main  Line. 

Gracie  and  Jack  have  two  things 
in    common.    What    are    they? 

Wayne  was  sick  last  Monday  and 
all  of  G.I.  Hall  gave  him  advice  on

you  "D.K."   Millncr? 

Marlcne  certainly  was  a  pretty 
queen  on  Saturday  .  .  .  here's  to  the 
same   in   future    years. 

Congratulations  to  the  A.O.Nu's  for 
winning  the  cup  for  the  best  Home- 
coming decorations.  It  must  have  been 
a  hard  decision  to  make  'cause  they 
all  looked  so  good. 

The  Pep-RaUy  couldn't  find  Dr. 
Gibson  Friday  night  and  Mackcy 
didn't  help  the   situation   very 

We  hear  that  "O.L."  Smith  went 
to  church  Sunday  morning.  Whoopee!! 
How  are   the  knees, 

Jack  Nacrelli  has  been  keeping

a  swell  guy.

W.C.  beat  St.  Johns  of  Philadelphia 
28-7  for  their  first  grid  victory  of  the 
season. 

The  Senior  class  was  commended 
for  their  efforts  to  secure  a  regular

Sharps 
and  Flats 

By  ATS 
In  the  midst  of  methodically  attempt- 
ing to  run  a  near-perfect  scale  on  a 
ncwly-acquircd  alto  sax,  the  thought 
occured  to  me  to  put  down  a  brief 
of  what  is  going  and  coming 
this  world  of  the  sharp  and  the 
flat. 

With  a  gradual  wending  of  interest 
the   eternal    triplet    (Bop)    and    of 
c   progressive  sort,  the  music  world 
regressing  to  its  foundation,  which 
a    peculiar,     unrelated     Jazz.     Wc 
n    understand    then    that    what    we 
hear  today  under  the  pscudoncum  of 
Jazz   is   not    the   fajniliar   two-beat   of 
the  old  Jazzmen  but  a  style   used  by 
youngsters  of   the   Bop,   and   the   pro- 
attempting,    without 
to    recapture    the 
original  stylc- 

Howcver,  the  "Hackctt  and  J'hiL 
hps"  hookup  has  put  forth  some  com. 
mendable  efforts  —  such  as  "Sooty 
Rampart  Street" ;  while  Krupa  has 
overstepped  himself  as  a  stylist  in 
trying  "Bonaparte's  Retreat",  Then 
the  commercial  efforts  of  the  J.  Dor- 
sey  "Clambake  Seven"  should  remain 
only  for  the  ears  of  those  at  the 
clambake.  Wc  can,  of  course,  count 
on  the  antics  of  Louis  Armstrong 
aided  by  the  capable  work  of  Tea- 
garden  among  new  stars  capturing 
the  horizon;  look  for  Gene  Ammon's 
"My  Foolish  Heart". 

For  those,  the  lovers  of  the  88, 
all  is  not  lost.  George  Shearing,  the 
man  who  did  more  with  the  88  than 
did  Sousa  with  his  brass  band,  is 
now  on  tour,  contemplating  a  trip 
back  to  his  native  England.  While 
remembering  Shearing,  look  for  his 
"Tenderly"   on   M.G.M. 

In  the  same  vein,  look  for  the 
latest  by  Petersen,  Tristram  or  Gar- 

I  was  speaking  before  of  re- 
gression, probably  the  most  washed-up 
artist  of  this  era  is  trying  feebly  to 
stage  a  comeback  at  the  innocent 
hands  of  Gordon  Jenkins'  aggrega- 
tion. His  name,  Artie  Shaw,  is  nc 
longer    synonomous    with    real    music. 

While  regressing  but  not  in  the 
same  sense,  but  rather  with  fond 
memories,  wc  look  to  the  activities 
of  one  B.  Goodman — who  has  joined 
with  Teddy  Powell,  Jerry  Gibbs  and 
other  capablcs  to  organize  a  new  and 
better  sextet;  look  for  their  record- 
ings. 

Ai  a  lingering  note  take  the  hints 
to  get;   Bill  Harris's  "How  High  the 


Moon";  Barry  Green's  "Pennies  from 
Heaven":  "My  Destiny";  Mr.  "B", 
Gene   Ammon's   "My  Foolish   Heart".

The  lull  aflcr  the  storm  is  upon  us  here  on  the  "Hill"  as  well 
as  on  the  sidelines.  The  last  home  football  game  is  in  the  books  the

D.C.  Choice — Bottled 

The  Touchdown  Club  of  Washington,  D.C.  in  co-operation 
«,tb  the  Washington  Post  paid  tribute  to  an  Ail-American  hopeful 
two  weeks  ago  when  they  picked  Bill  (Bucky)  Ennis  of  C  U  as 
Player  of  the  Week.  The  selection  was  justified  by  Ennis's  perform- 
ance agamst  Galludet.  In  three  offensive  tries  from  scrimmage 
Bttcky  gained  a  103  yards  that  included  a  89  yard  TD  jaunt  The 
<mly  other  offensive  play  that  Ennis  partook  in  was  a  76  yard  punt 
return  that  was  worth  six  points.

water  and  Bruce  Davenport,  of  Roan- 
»ke,  who  were  first  and  second  in 
1949.  Nevertheless,  there  is  one  Hop-

Hevcn  came  from  behind  with  a  ter- 
rific second  half  surge  to  defeat  Cath- 
olic  U.  25-7  before  a  large  Home- 
coming Day  crowd  last  Saturday  on 
Kibler  Field.  The  Sho'mcn  recovered 
from  a  bad  first  half  to  score  three 
touchdowns  in  the  final  two  periods 
and  secure  the  win.  Bucks  Johnny 
Wilson  and  Joe  Millner  paced  the 
Shore  attack  with  two  touchdowns 
apiece  and  Wilson  kicked  one  e.xtra 
point. 

The  Maroon  and  Black  tallied  the 

first  time  they  had  the  ball.  Miller 
capped  a  nine  play  30  yard  scoring 
drive  by  plunging  over  from  the 
Cardinal  one  yard  line.  Wilson  failed 
to  convert.  Cathohc  U.  took  the  en- 
sumg  kickoflf  and  moved  right  back 
to  even  the  score,  Will  Poms  scorinq 
from  the  W.C.  ten.  Poms'  placckick 
gave  the  Washingtonians  a  7-6  lead. 
Late  in  the  second  quarter  a  38 
yard  Wilson  to  Millner  pass  put  the 
Montcromcn  on  the  C.U.  17,  but 
time  ran  out  before  the  Hilltoppcrs

The  visitors  did  not  take  long  to 
make  their  bid  for  victory.  After  only 
live  minutes  of  the  first  period  had 
:lapsed,  Kenny  Miller  caught  a  high 
bouncing  kick  on  its  downward  Right 
and  pounded  it  hard  past  the  Sho' 
goalie. 

Scoring  remained  stagnate  through-

the  second  period  only  lo  be  checked 
by  a  hard  kicking,  smooth  working

Rough,    spirited    play    was    featured

In  the  fourth  quarter,  however,  the

Looking  For 
Final  Win 
At  Juniata 


Washington  Colleges  Sho'iuen  de- 
parted this  morning  on  a  nine  hour 
trek  to  Huntington,  I'a.,  the  home  of 
the  Juniata  Indians,  'i  omorrow  the 
grid  elevens  will  wind  up  their  re- 
ipcciive  seasons  with  a  two  o'clock 
battle. 

After  a  week  of  light  workouts,  the 

iMonteromcn  arc  invading  the  Juniau 

reservation   in   hopes  of   ending  their 

season   with  a   victory.  Bolstered   by  a 

convincing     Homecoming     win     over 

Catholic    U.,    and    the    fact    that    the 

Indians  are  having  their  worst  season 

recent    years,    the    local    lads    are 

confident  of  a  victory. 

Injuries,    But 

Although  badly  handicapped  by  in- 

jinies    to    key    figures    in    the    line-up, 

[he  Huntington  eleven  has  a  •■bright 

outlook"   for  tomorrows  game.  In  the 

way   of   comparison,    the   tribe   rolled 

over  Lycoming  33-0  while  the  Sho'men 

down   -cm   32-0.  Juniata   was  also  vic- 

Haverford   eleven   who 

the   Montcromen    battled   to  a   virtual 

2  in  a  preseason  scrimmage. 

Sho'  Nu(! 
Montero  and  Apichella,  the  brains 
behind  the  locals,  have  been  forced 
to  juggle  the  line-up  for  the  past  two 
weeks  to  compensate  for  losses  due  to 
injuries.  The  win  combination  that 
ihcy  fielded  last  week  will  continue 
to  carry  the  ball  for  the  finale.  Back- 
field  standouts,  Wilson.  Greto,  Miller, 
Eisenman.  and  ^fagliochetti  '  are  in 
lighting,  shape...  although...  minor 
sprains,  ■'charley-horses".  and  cuts  ir- 
tatcd    ihc   '■spce<isters"   all    week. 

Blue  And  Gold  Indians? 
The  Blue  and  Cold  will  field  one 
the  smallest  teams  the  Sho'men 
have  faced  all  season.  The  line,  aver- 
iig'ig  177  pounds,  features  co-captain 
Coy  Hicks.  Weighing  in  at  158 
pounds,  Hicks  is  a  bulwark  on  of- 
fense as  well  as  defense.  In  the  scoring 
department,  Juniata  averages  163  lbs. 
per  man.  According  to  their  coach, 
Bill  Smaltz,  the  I'ennsylvanians  are 
■going  to  rely  on^speed  and  deception, 
rather  than  weight  and  power."  De- 
fensive speed  and  altertness,  it  might 
be  noted,  could  cripple  the  potent 
Sho'  aerial  attack. 

Probable  Starters 


J-ate  Sports  Flash 


Washington    College    hooters    scored 

32  upset  over  Drcxcl  on   the  losers 

home    field.    Linde,  Drexel,   drew   finit 

blood  with  a  blast  from  scrimmage  in 

front  of  the  goal  in  the  first  quarter. 

Oriel,  Washington  College,  shot  one 

I  the  second  quarter  to  tic  the  con- 

rst.  Hernandez  scored  on  a  cross  from 

niley      during      the      ihird      quarter 

Drexel  center  half  pumped  in  a  point 

to    knot    the    score    and    Brandenbcrg 

provided  the  margin  of  victory  as  he 

scored  in   the  concluding  quarter 


Atheyraen,  but  such  was  not  the  case. 
An  offensive  drive  was  repelled  and  the 
B.U.  team  started  to  move  the  ball  up 
the  field  nicely.  As  the  formation 
moved  in  close  in  front  of  the  net.  a 
booming  kick  stopped  the  scoring 
threat  but  the  defensive  scramble  left 
Shore  General  Buddy  Brower 
conctous  on  the  field.  Captain  Brower 
had  been  knocked  down  with  a  body, 
check  and  had  split  his  head  open  on 
a  rock. 

And  The  Game  ,  . 
Another  scoring  drive  by  the  visitors, 
produced  the  penalty  for  roughness 
against  the  locals.  Stan  Rostick  did 
the  honors  when  he  drove  a  grass  high 
angler  past  McHugh  on  the  free  kick. 
The  dazed  Sho'men  finished'  the  re- 
maining minutes  mechanically  after 
playing   a   creditable  "heads-up"    ball

an  annual  trtidiiion  of  festivities. 
Pep  Rally  And  Bonfire 

The  pep  raU>  ushered  in  the  week

with  torches  and  hre  engine  accenting 
the  parade.  The  bonfire. 


Freshman  class,

around  the  blaic. 

A.O-Nu  Wins  Cup 
All  of  the  fraternity  houses  were 
decorated,  carrying  out  themes^  de- 
signed by  the  meml>ei>.  Alpha  Otnega 
Nu  frrtiemiiy  was  awarded  the 
fra'emity  cup  for  the  most  original 
decorations.  Their  theme  consisted  ol 
a  crouching  Washington  College  cai 
stalking  a  raged  Catholic  l.'niversit\ 
cardinal.  Last  jear  the  cup  was  aw; 
ed  to  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  for  their 
jan  presentation  of  "Bop  City".  The 
cup  is  presented  on  the  decision  of  the 
faculty  committee  for  fraternity  acti- 
viljcs,  which  consists  of  Dr.  McLain. 
Dr.  Clark.  Dean  Bradley.  Mr,  Bameii. 
and  Dr.  Hardcastle. 

In  addilion  to  decorations,  the  fra- 
ternities celebrated  with  open  houses 
for  all  returning  alumni  members. 
The  Lambda  Chi's  held  a  supper  party 
at  the  Country  Club  on  Saturday 
evening. 

Panhellcnic    LunchciMi   Presented 
The    three    sororities   staged    a    Pan- 
hellcnic   luncheon    on    Saturday    after- 
noon in   Hodson   Hall  to  entertain  all 
active  and  alumnae  sorority  members. 
This    idea    was    adopted    last    year    to 
replace  the  usual  open  house  sessions. 
Homecoming   Queen  Crowned 
Saturday  afternoon  carried  the  cele- 
bration to  a  climax  with  the  football 
viaory   over   Catholic    U.    During    the 
halt.  Dr    Gibson   crowned   the  elected 
Homecoming   Queen.    Marlene   Meyer. 
Miss  Mever.  a  Sophomore  from  Havre 
dc    Grace,    Maryland,    expressed     her 
thanks  to  the  students  for  the  honor 
that     lhe\-    had    bestowed    upon    her. 
Last  years  Queen,,  Barbara  Stone,  was 
present     to    panidpatc    in     the    cere- 
monies. When  interviewed  on  the  field 
she  expressed  an   alumni    observation, 
"Washington  College  is  wonderful." 
Dance  Successful 
Lee  Cook,   Piesident   of   the  Varsity 
Club,  has  announced  that   the   Home- 
coming dance  at  the  armory  on  Satur- 
day night  was  a  big  success.  He  furth- 
er added  that  the  dance  exceeded  the 
Varsity  Club's  hopes.  As  yet.  there  has 
been     no    oScial     statement     of     the 
actual    profits.    The    money    obtained 
from    the  dance   is   used    by    the  club 
to  buy   the  varsity  sweaters  worn  by 
all   of   the  members. 

On  Sunday,  the  last  of  the  cele- 
bration was  completed,  with  a  gradual 
return  of  the  college  to  status  quo. 


AN  EXPERIENCE 

by  "The  General" 

Would  you  be  interested  in  learn- 
ing how  to  go  crazy  in  one  simple 
lesson?  Well,  here  is  the  formula  — 
spend  one  night  in  Gl  Hall. 

An  average  night  in  GI  Hall  begins 
at  approximately  seven  P.M..  it  can 
easily  be  discovered  when  seven  has 
.■cd  because  mass  hysteria  takes 
place  in  one  wing  of  GI  Hall.  I 
usually  start  the  ball  rolling  by  read 
ing  poetry  in  a  loud  clear  voice  (with 
my  door  wide  open).  The  rooms  next 
to  mine  and  across  the  hall  from  mine 
arc  the  fint  to  respond.  They 
spond  to  my  oratory  by  slamming 
their  doors,  swearing,  and  uttering 
hotrihle  threats.  A  few  minutes  I 
the  lovely  strains  of  a  uke  (wit 
missing  string)  coine  drifting  di 
the  hall.  ah.  sheer  beauty  (ugh') 
Immediately  following  the  notes  of 
the  uke  are  six  lo  seven  voices  (all 
in  the  loudest  discord  possible)  sing- 
ing their  evening's  i-epertoire  of  dirty 


eleven-thirty  two  enterprising 
directly  across  the  hall  from  me 
decide  to  liven  things  up.  They  have 
their  room  a  tape  recorder  on  which 
they  record  the  evening's  highlights, 
clcvcn-ihiriy  when  things  are 
peaceful  they  open  their  door  and  turn 
an  their  little  recorder  at  its  loudest 
I'olume  and  play  back  all  the  noise 
they  had  recorded.  All  hell  breaks 
loose.  The  noise  and  hubub  carries 
on  until  twelve  and  then  sleep  steals 
over  the  scene  and  peace  reigns  over 
Gl  Hall. 

The  lowset  order  of  society  in  Lhasa, 
holy  city  of  Tibet,  are  members  of 
the  ra-gyap-pa,  whose  duty  it  is  lo 
dispose  of  the  dead.  These  people, 
who  live  in  hovels  outside  the  city, 
must  follow  the  Tibetan  religious  cus- 
tom of  returning  each  body  to  the 
elements  from  which  it  originated  — 
earth,    fire,    water,    and    air.

Beer  Banell  I'olka  or  the  Tarentala 
isually  announce  his  evenings  concert. 
Spook  '  can  be  counted  upon  never

to  start  a  water  fight  by  pouring

as  if  by  magic,  doors  open  and  every-

(which  is  always  loaded  with  gart 
age)  —  the  building  shudders,  and 
walls  and  doors  crack  and  threaten  to 
split  asunder.  Then  for  no  apparent 
reason  the  noise  ceases:  the  hall 
empties;  doois  slam  shut;  silence 
reigTLs  once  more  (for  exaaly  three 
minutes).  The  baseball  fans  appeal 
Everynighi  two  characters  attempt  to 
play  baseball  in  the  hall  with  a 
pong  paddle  and  a  golf  ball,  and  three 
nights  out  of  everv  week  they  succeed 
in  breaking  the  overhead  blub.  The 
ball  plavers  get  tired  around  ten- 
thirtv  and  silence  once  again  begins 
its  futile  attempt  to  rule  over  Gl  Hall

At  the  beginning  of  the  semester 
several  students  proposi-d  the  csCal 
lishmcnt  of  an  Economic  and  Soc 
ology  Club  on  campuS.  The  idea  mi 
with  the  approval  of  the  Economii 
Department  but  it  was  found  th: 
no  tiiTie\  could  be  scheduled  for  the 
meeting  of  such  an  organization.  How- 
ever, as  a  result  of  a  mutual  agree- 
ment with  the  Forensic  Society,  the 
new  club  has  been  incorporated  i 
that    Society    as    a    separate    divisi 

The  purposes  of  the  Economics  and 
Sociology  Division  arc  to  establish  ar 
extra-eurricular  activity  for  those  stud 
ents  particularly  interested  in  the  field 
and  to  discuss  current  problems  per- 
taining to  it. 

Bill  Trueth,  Vice-President,  has  con- 
tacted the  Economics  Club  at  West- 
ern Maryland  College  and  it  is  under- 
stood that  Dr.  Townscnd  of  the  Eco- 
nomics Department  of  that  institution 
will  speak  to  the  local  group  in  the 
near  future.  Plans  are  being  made  for 
a  field  trip  to  a  General  Motors  as- 
sembly plant  early  next  year  to  ob- 
icrvc   tlie   assembly  procedure. 

The  new  division  has  extended  an 
invitation  to  all  students  to  attend  its 
next  meeting,  the  date  of  which  will 
be   posted.

Exhibit 


Theater  —  from  Ritual  to  Broad' 
way,  an  exhibition  prepared  by  the 
editors  of  Life  Magazine,  will  be  on 
view  10  Washington  College  students 
in  the  W,  C.  \fuscum  from  Decembei 
II  to  December  Ifi.  The  exhibit  is  be- 
ing sponsored  by  the  Library, 

The  display  traces  the  history  ol 
theater  from  its  beginning  to  tis  pre 
sent  shape  in  the  western  world. 

The  exhibit  is  made  up  of  twent> 
five  panels  in  four  sections.  After  an 
introductory  panel  which  suggests 
something  of  the  variety  of  places  of 
theatrical  performances  the  exhibition 
opens  with  a  section  on  The  Begin- 
ning of  Theater.  This  depicts  the  fes- 
tivals which  gave  birth  to  [he  Greek 
tragedies.  The  Second  section  is  de- 
voted to  "Tragic  Theaters".  The  six 
panels  of  this  section  deal  with  Greek 
tragedy  and  its  use  of  chorus,  and 
relate  Shakespearean  itagcdv  to  the 
world  of  medieval  Europe  where 
theater  took  place  against  the  back 
ground  of  the  Cathedral. 

"The  Perennial  Life  of  Comedy", 
the  third  section,  shows  the  tradition 
of  clowning  beginnig  with  the  rituals 
down  to  our  own  vaudeville  perform- 
ers. Popular  farce  also  is  traced  through 
the  Commedia  dell  "Arte,  Moliere  and 
the  Restoration  to  (he  American  Mins- 
rel    show   and    contemporary    musical. 

The  final  section  is  concerned  with 
"Theatre  in  the  Modem  World".  This 
section  of  the  exhibition  begins  with 
n  and  Chekhov,  fathers  of  con- 
temporary dram,T_  and  includes  pic- 
tures from   many  current   productions. 

The  text  for  the  exhibition  was 
ritten  hv  Francis  Fergusan,  a  critic 
1  the  study  of  theater.  This  exhibi- 
tion on  Theater  is  one  of  many  that

Conover  Noses 
Out  Greer 


By  virtue  of  three  votes,  "Skip" 
Conover  has  been  elected  to  head  the 
Freshman  Class  as  its  president.  Con- 
■,  who  hails  from  Bloomfield,  New 
Jersey,  succeeds  Larry  Widekind,  of 
imorc,  who  served  as  temporary 
ident  of  the  class  until  the  time 
of  the  elections, 

Conovcr's  nearest  opponent  was  Bill 
Greer,  of  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania. 
Third  in  the  running  for  the  presi- 
dential post  was  Bill  Chaplin,  of 
Leonardtown,  Maryland.  The  race  for 
the  presidency  was  so  close  that  a 
bare  four  votes  separated  Conovcr's 
plurality  from  that  of  Chaplin's  vote. 

Bob  Karg  was  elected  to  the  vice- 
presidency  of  the  class.  He  defeated 
his  nearest  opponent,  John  Ncubold, 
of  Baltimore,  Maryland,  by  four  votes. 

Joan  Heffner,  of  Pikesville,  Mary- 
land, was  selected  as  secretary-  of  the 
class.  Runner-up  in  the  vote  for  the 
secretarial  post  was  Dorothy  Willis, 
of   Ridley    Park,    Pennsylvania. 

Lee  Wcisman,  of  White  Plains,  New 
York,  was  successful  in  doubling  the 
vote  of  his  nearest  opponent,  Harry 
Vcros,  of  Bloomfield,  New  Jersey, 
in  the  running  for  the  treasurer's  post. 

The  elections  were  held  under  the 
direction  of  ODK.  Glen  Gray,  chair- 
man of  the  ODK  committee  on  elec- 
tions, pointed  out  that  appro.ximately 
62  out  of  the  120  in  the  class  voted. 
Working  with  Gray  in  supervising  the 
elections  wcVe  Fillmore  Dryden,  Larry 
Wascott  and  Fred  Nixon,  all  members 
of  the  elections  committee  of  ODK. 


Ferguson  Hall 
To  Be  Scene 
Mon.  -  Tues. 


.As  their  rnidscason  prescnialiiin,  the 
Washington  Players  will  again  present 
three  one-act  plays,  consisting  of  a 
fantasy  in  the  comic  vein,  a  mystery 
and  something  new,  a  portion  of  clas- 
sic literature.  Casting  for  the  plays 
will  be  held  next  Monday  and  Tucs- 
dav  at   3:30  in   Ferguson   Hall. 

The  fantasy  picked  by  the  Players 
plannmg  committee  to  be  presented 
IS  tht  "Devil  and  Daniel  Webster", 
the  play  version  of  Steven  Vincent 
Benet's  story.  It  is  typical  American 
folklore  set  in  a  framework  of  comedy. 
The  student  director  of  this  play  is 
Ralph    Leonard. 

For  a  touch  of  mystery,  the  "Mon- 
key's Paw",  W.  W.  Jacobs'  thriller 
story  will  be  second  on  the  presenta- 
tion agenda.  Helen  Roe  will  take 
charge  of  direction  duties  for  this  one. 

Tapping  the  classical  field  of  talent, 
the  Players  will  try  for  the  first  time 
a  scene  from  Shakespeare,  choosing 
the  court  scene  from  the  "Merchant 
of  Venice".  Directing  this  venture 
into  Elizabethan  drama  will  be  Bob 
Elder. 

The  casts  consist  of  twenty  men 
and  only  four  women.  It  will  definitely 
be  a  man's  night  when  the  plays  are 
presented  to  the  Washington  College 
campus.  Also  in  use  for  thrse  plays 
will  be  a  number  of  extras  who  will 
lend  atmosphere  to  the  scenes  in  one 
or  two  of  the  productions. 

Hazing  Called  Off 

By  Sophomores 

Hazing  has  been  ofTicially  halted  by 
by  the  Sophomore  Class. 

In  spite  of  the  fact  that  the  Sopho- 
more Class  defeated  ihe  Freshman 
Class  in  the  annual  game  between 
the  two  classes.  "Hazing  is  all  over 
as  far  as  the  Sophomores  arc 
concerned,"  commented  John  Grimm, 
class  president. 

.According  to  the  rules  established 
prior  to  the  establishment  of  hazing 
this  year  at  Washington  College,  the 
football  game  was  to  determine  whet- 
her the  Freshman  Class  had  to  con« 
tinue    to    observe    the    hazing    regular

Assembly 
Program 


Bv   Tom   Lowe 

In  an  attempi  lo  expose  ihe  student 
body  lo  3  bit  of  culture,  the  adminis- 
tration made  an  excellent  choice  by 
iuviung  Frofessor  Ebold  I'aslukhoff,  ol 
the  Delaware  School  ot  Music,  to  play 
at  the  regular  Thursday  morning 
assembly. 

After  a  brief  talk  iii  which  Professor 
Pastukhofl  explained  the  composer's 
attempts  to  capture  ihe  various  moods, 
he  opened  with  a  superb  rendition  of 
Bach's  Choral  Preludes.  Bach  is  usual- 
ly loo  intricate  or  heavy  lor  the  less 
musically  inclined.  Due  to  (he  interest 
and  understanding  needed  to  appre^ 
dare  Bach.  Professor  Pastufchoff's 
choice  of  the  lighter  "Preludes"  was  in 
excellent  taste.  The  adcpiness  of  his 
presentation  was  probably  the  best  on 
the  program. 

His  next  selection,  Fountains  of 
Villa  D'Esie  by  lJszi_  was  quite  capti- 
vating and,  I  believe,  everyone  in  the 
building  mentally  envisaged  the  bub- 
bling fountains  as  only  Liszt  could 
make  them  do. 

The  next  three  selections  by  Chop- 
in (Ntxxume,  Valse,  and  Polonaije) 
were  very  pleasant,  though  it  would 
appear  that  Chopin  wrote  with  two 
motives.  The  first,  of  course,  to  give 
the  listener  the  viarous  pleasure}  of 
his  music;  the  other  seems  to  show 
the  listener  the  dexterity  of  the 
nimble-fingered    pianist. 

Debussy's  dare  dc  Lune  and  Chop- 
in s  Polonaise  seem  to  be  the  choice  o( 
most  pianists  at  recitals  lor  the  pur- 
pose of  giving  interest  to  an  audience 
which  isn't  particularly  interested.  The 
former  was  played  excellently  by  Pro- 
fcssor  Pastukhoff  who  seemed  greatly 
impressed  by  the  composer.  Hij  besi 
performance*  were  ol  Bach  and  De- 
bussy selections. 

The  program  was  concluded  by  a 
comparison  of  two  works  giving  the 
composers'  thought  on  Fire.  The  lasi 
was  one  of  Imrbi's  favorites,  de  Fallas' 
Fire  Dans. 

At  the  audience's  request  Professor 
Pasuukholf  returned  lo  play  first 
waliz  by  Chopin  and  ended  wiih  two 
short  walL/es  by  Braham,.  Ihe  difTi- 
tuliy  in  playing  the  latter  could  only 
be  appreciated  by  anyone  having  ever 
attempted  Ihcm. 

The  audience's  rciponw  was  one  ol 
acceptance  and  lack  of  inusital  appre 
dation.  Sp<jntaneous  burMs  followed 
Polonaise,  Clare  dc  Lumc,  and  the 
Fire  Dam,  all  o(  which  wtTe  quite 
popular  and  ihrcatened  Tchkowsky" 
p(.pularity  as  -The  1  in-Pan  Alley 
Composer.  This  show,  elearly  thai  if 
the  Mudeni  liody  were  exposed  moi 
often  lo  the  finer  poiniv  of  culiu: 
•he  ■■pearls"  would  l>e<ome  more 
pa  li  table. 


Gilded 
Butterflies 


Of  the  two-hundrcd-odd  books  add' 
cd  to  the  library  in  the  last  month 
or  so,  there  arc  a  few  which  arc  not 
education  textbooks,  sociologital  trcat- 
isfs,  cssai-s  into  that  murkiest  of  all 
modern  fogs — science,  sports  manuals, 
or  cobblcgook  about  poetry.  There 
are  at  least  foui 
books  anyone  can 
read    and    enjoy. 


Thcs 


"A 


Fearful  Joy",  by 
Joyce  Gary,  "The 
Lost  .Art  of  Pro- 
fanity"', by  Burgi 
Johnson,  ".Animal 
Farm."  by  George 
Orwell  and  "The 
Thirten  Clocks," 
Blom  by    Jas.    Thurber. 

"A  FEARFUL  JOY"  is  a  story 
about  the  transplantation  of  Victorian- 
ism  into  bohcmianism  and  how  it 
doesn't  work.  Tabitha  is  a  remarkable 
person  (as  arc  all  of  Gary's  charact- 
ers) who  is  seduced  and  traduced 
through  three  generations  and  who 
only  occasionally  experiences  that 
fearful  Joy  in  living  about  which  the 
Victorians  were  so  skittish.  The  book 
is  much  more  than  this,  though. 
Like  "The  Horse's  Mouth",  it  is  a 
thoroughly  modern  novel  written  in 
the  grand  tradition  of  the  English 
novel.  If  the  last  sentence  doesn't 
make  much  sense  I'll  put  it  this  way: 
after  James  Joyce  and  his  rotten  imi- 
tators got  through  changing  the  novel 
form  around  to  suit  themselves,  there 
wasn't  much  left  except  one  master- 
piece (Ulysses)  which  isn't  a  novel 
so    long    as    there    is    a    definition    ol 

ic  novel".  Gary,  who  in  my  opinion 

one  of  the  finest  novelists  of  the 
past  twenty-live  jrars,  has  proved 
that  a  writer  can  still  take  themes 
congenial  to  his  contemporaries,  write 
in  a  language  they  can  understand, 
and  yet  not  get  lost  in  the  dismal 
fens  of  sex  and  the  "proletarian 
movement,"  but  rather  infuse  in  his 
work  some  of  those  ennobling  quali- 
ties of  great   literature. 

"THE  LOST  ART  OF  PROFAN- 
ITY" is  a  whimsical  study  of  the  sad 
slate  of  modem  swearing,  as  the  title 
indicates.  Grtintcd  that  we  don't  have 
to  read  a  book  to  know  that  all  of 
our  bad  words,  imprecations,  and 
maledictions  have  been  so  debased 
that  they  are  meaningless,  it  is  still 
fun  to  read  about.  On  the  last  page 
of  his  book   Mr.   Johnson   suggests  in 

cartoon  that  he  would  rather  be 
damned  outright  than  damned  with 
faint  praise,  but  I'm  damned  if  I 
can  think  o(  anything  to  say  either 
way. 

'•ANIMAL  FARM"  is  a  satire  of 
communism,  and  a  good  one.  Orwell 
has  a  rebellion  of  farm  animals  which 
ousts  the  farmer  and  for  a  while 
everyone  is  happy.  But  the  pigs, 
smarter  than  the  other  animals,  soon 
take  over  the  whole  shebang,  and 
proceed  to  make  a  pretty  good  thing 
Jl  of  it  for  themselves.  In  the  end, 
hile  the  pigs  arc  having  a  banquet 
for  some  of  the  men  with  whom  they 
have  had  dealings,  the  other  animals 
peer  through  the  window  and  lo! 
they  can't  distinguish  pig  from  man.

"THE  THIRTEEN  CLOCKS"  is 
a  charming  little  fairy-tale  about  a 
cold,  wicked  Duke;  a  warm,  lovely 
Princess;  a  hot,  handsome  Prince  dis-

Card  Of  Thanks 


While  my  thanks  may  appear

had,  since  my  recent  misfortune, 
lo  express  publicly,  tlirough  the 
columns  of  THE  ELM,  my  very 
warm  and  sincere  gratitude  for 
the  generotis  expression  ot  sym- 
pathy  shown  nie  by  both  faculty 
and  students  on  the  occasion  of 
the  death  of  iny  wife.  Although 
I  questioned  the  propriety  of  my 
accepting  such  a  gift,  it  was  point- 
ed out  lo  me  tliat  it  would  be 
inipos.sible  lo  return  it.  And  it 
ccTtainly  would  have  bcoi  un- 
gracioRs  to  do  so.  It  i.s  difTicult 
lo  express  myself  properly  on  an 
occasion  like  this.  May  I  simply 
say  to  all  of  you,  thank  you?

Enthusiastic  cage  fans  will  get  their  first  peek  at  the  '50  version 
of  the  Flying  Pentagon  tonight  at  the  local  Armory.  This  should 
prove  a  bang  up  scoring  duel  between  our  own  Nick  Scallion  and 
King  College's  George  Dempsey  as  well  as  a  test  of  height  against 
speed.  Every  man  on  the  visitors  squad  stands  at  least  6  feet.  Last 
year  the  "Atheymcn"  lacked  only  experience  and  earned  a  trip  to 
the  play-offs,  where  they  spanked  Roanoke  70-64  before  bowing  out 
to  a  strong  American  U.  team  57-78. 

Dixie  Scoring  Race 
Emerson  Johnson,  Hampden-Sidney,  has  taken  an  early  lead 
in  the  M-D  individual  scoring  race.  His  26  points  against  Towson 
Teachers  Saturday  was  the  highest  single-game  ouput  of  any  per- 
former during  the  first  week  of  the  season.  A  notch  behind  Johnson 
comes  Joe  Delia  Ratta,  Catholic  U.,  who  garnered  23  points  against 
Towson,  followed  by  Bucky  Kimmet,  Towson,  with  a  three  game  15 
point  average. 

Nice  Going  Men 
Congratulations  are  in  order  for  a  host  of  athletes  this  week.

team  had  its  most  successful  season 
in  many  years  when  it  ended  the  1950 
campaign  with  a  record  of  five  wins

Randolph  Macon,  Drexel  and  Juniata.

stellar  guard  members  of  the  line,  to 
captain  the  team  for  its  I950-I951  grid

being  co<aptains  of  the  Football

tory with  13  points  each.  Krccger

Although  it's  winter  and  the  frost 
is  on  the  pumpkin,  Dr.  Clark  is  wast- 
ing no  time  with  the  lacrosse  team. 
Practices  have  been  held  every  day 
for  the  past  two  weeks  on  the  high 
school  field.  When  interviewed  by 
the  Elm  as  to  the  purpose  of  these 
practices,  Coach  Clark  said  that  "al- 
though things  look  pretty  good  for 
this  spring,  we  must  keep  building 
for  the  future  and  this  advanced  prac- 
tice will  give  the  less  experienced 
stickmen    some    practice." 

The  schedule  this  year  is  to  be  the 
most  vigorous  of  any  previous  year. 
As  yet  the  schedule  has  not  been  re- 
leased by  the  Athletic  Department, 
but  it  will  include  such  top-notch 
teams  as  Navy,  Duke,  Loyola,  and 
the  best  team  in  the  county,  Mount 
Washington.  Prospects  look  good,  with 
veterans  ready  to  replace  the  three 
starters  that  were  tost  by  graduation. 

Of  the  25  or  more  men  practicing 
daily,  about  10  are  new  either  to  the 
campus  or  to  the  game.  Coach  Clark 
is  giving  quite  a  bit  of  attention  to 
hesc    men    and    to    the   goal,   which 


Dempsey.  Last  season  the  six  fooi-thrce 
inch  Dempsey  scored  an  over  all  total 
of  704  points  in  25  games  for  an  aver- 
age of  28.2.  Aiding  him  greatly  was 
Marshall  Davis,  this  year's  captain, 
who  averaged  15  points  per  game  while 
amassing  over  300  points. 
Boast    Height 

The  visitors  do  not  list  a  man  on 
their  roster  under  6  feet.  Teaming 
up  with  Dempsey  at  the  forwards  will 
by  Joe  Jones,  a  6  foot  3  inch  fresh- 
man. Davis,  the  tallest  of  the  lot  at

Reeger.  63"  and  John  Sairni  6'  will 
be  at  guards. 

Sho'mcn  Speedy 

The  local  squad  rested  after  two 
warm-up  sessions  this  week,  will  floor 
a  not  particularly  tall  team  but  one 
which  will  rely  on  speed.  Harry  Miller, 
freshman  football  sensation,  is  the  only 
new  comer  to  win  a  starting  role,  and

Led  by  Eddie  Leonard,  Captain  for

and   that   lacrosse   is   here   to   stay. 

Navy  Tops  Atheymen 

In  Court  Scrimmage 

Washington  College's  "50  basket- 
ball squad  jo'urneycd  to  Annapolis 
last  Friday  for  its  first  warm-up  game 
of  the  season  with  Navy.  The  scrim- 
mage consisted  of  a  regular  game 
and  half  of  another.  Navy  came  out 
tops   in   both,   73-35   and    35-28. 

Navy,  with  all  but  one  lettermen 
returning,  proved  too  much  through- 
out for  the  smaller  Washington  five. 
While  Dave  Mullaney  and  Captain 
Joe  Fitzpatrick  were  outstanding  for 
the  Middies,  one  could  not  overlook 
the  sensational  play  of  Williams,  Mc- 
Donough,  and  Pat  Corrigan,  ex- 
Washington  College  eager. 

Nifty  Nick  Scallion  dumped  in  a 
futile  16  points  for  the  Sho'mcn  in 
the  regular  game.  Kcnny^  Sullivan 
controlled  the  rebounds  and  Bernie 
Rudo  played  a  better  than  fair  game 
for  the  losers. 

The  locals  were  off  tremendously  in 
their   shots,    goaling    only    13    baskets 


piled  a  total  of  982  points  and  holds 
just  about  every  individual  scoring 
record  in  the  Mason-Dixon  Confer- 
ence. Bill  Brogan.  an  aggressive  ball 
player  who  hustles  all  the  way,  will 
probably  get  the  call  at  center  assist- 
ed by  Jim  Taylor  and  Jack  Smith. 
Taylor,  tallest  man  on  the  squad  has 
been  sidelined  for  two  weeks  with  an 
aggravated  back  injury  and  may  see 
limited  action.  Captains  Ed  "Cool 
Goon"  Gunning  will  probably  sec 
plenty  of  action  as  will  Don  Samele, 
deadly  set  shot  artist  and  Bernie 
Rudo.  who  proved  last  year  that  small 
men  can  play  with  the  giants.  Missing 
from  this  years  pentagon  are  "Babe 
Johnson"  and  Lee  Cook,  who  are 
ineligible  for  college  competition. 
Cookie  is  now  devoting  his  time  to 
coaching  a  fraternity  team  in  the  intra 
mural  league,  while  Babe  has  taken 
over  the  reins  of  the  College  Jayvecs, 
Jayvees  In  Preliminary 
The  preliminary  set  to.  scheduled 
for  7:00  P.M.  will  bring  together  the 
Coltege  Jayvee  squad  and  the  College 
All-Stars.  Probable  line  up  for  the 
"Juniors"  will  find  Wes  Edwards  and 
Rod  Ware  at  forwards;  Zimmerman  at 
center:  with  Mole  Jannigan  and  Lan- 
ducci  at  guards. 


1  63  attempts.  The  defense,  too,  was  |  tcr,  12, 


ragged,  allowing  the  fast-breaking 
Navy  team  to  chalk  up  30  field  goals. 
Greater  height  allowed  the  Academy 
team  to  control   both  boards. 

The  scrimmage  was  a  mild  succcu 
in  that  it  gave  Coach  Athey  a  good 
idea  of  the  weaker  points  of  the  team. 
Following  another  practice  session  with 
Denton's  Bobcats,  the  Sho'mcn  should 
be  in  tip-top  shape  for  their  initial 
encounter,  Friday  night. 

Scallion  Leads  Team 

To  64-47  Victory 

Coach  Ed  .-\they"s  baskctcers  de- 
feated the  Denton  Bobcats  of  the 
Eastern  Shore  League  64-47  in  an

Washington  College's  ace,  Nick

W.C.  Players 
Reorganize 


In  a  move  designed  to  create  greater 
efficiency  within  ihe  group,  the  Wash- 
ington Players  tentatively  adopted  a 
new  constitution  last  week.  Final 
adoption,  revision,  or  rejection  was 
postponed  until  after  their  next  pro- 
duction in  March  in  order  to  allow 
a  trial  period  for  the  new  consti- 
tution. 

The  document  was  written  by  a 
Constitution  Committee  consisting  of 
J.  Touchstone  Jones,  electrician,  and 
Bob  Elder.  President,  with  assistance 
from  Pauline  Koumjian,  Treasurer, 
June  Williams,  director  of  "Double 
Door",  and  Bob  Waddell,  stage  man- 
ager. 

As  a  result  of  the  new  constitution, 
J.  Touchstone  Jones  was  named  to 
head  the  newly  formed  Promotion 
Committee.  Another  feature  of  the 
new  constitution  was  the  abolishment 
of  the  vice-presidency-,  an  elective  of- 
fice formerly  held  by  Sandy  Jones 
who  was  appointed  Production  Man- 
ager under  the   new  scl-up. 

Also  established  was  the  Policy  and 
Finance  Committee,  to  include  the 
President,  Secrciar>'  and  Treasurer  of 
the  Players  in  addition  to  the  chair- 
men of  the  promotion  and  production 
committees.  Provision  was  also  made 
for  the  temporary  appointment  to  this 
committee  of  other  persons,  including 
current   directors,    jf    the   need    arises. 

A  routine  election,  held  to  fill  the 
offices  required  under  the  constitution, 
resulted  in  the  unanimous  re-election 
of  Bob  Elder,  President;  Phyllis  Scitz, 
Secreiar>-:  and  Pauline  Koumjian, 
Treasurer.

discovered  the  trucks  feebly  pretend- 
ing to  be  haystacks,  parked  in  coves 
off  a  North  Korean  valley.  They 
worked  them  over,  returned  for  more

Because  of  the  graduation  of  Men 
Bowie,  Larr\>  Brandenburg  and  Bill 
Tom  last  year,  it  looked  as  if  1950 
would  be  a  dark  season  for  the  hill 
and  dalers.  However,  team  spirit  was 
high  and  Filmore  opened  the  dual 
meet  campaign  by  leading  his  team 
lo  vicior\'  over  Gallaudei  College.  A 
strong  Loyola  unit  then  invaded  the 
Shore  and  handed  the  Mavoon  and 
Black  ii"s  hrsi  defeat,  in  a  closely  con- 
tested affair-  This  was  the  second  con 
secutive  individual  triumph  for  Dry- 
den,  in  which  he  established  a  new 
cotii-sc  record. 

The  following  week  found  Johns 
Hopkins  on  the  Shore,  led  by  Eavl 
Grim.  Although  Grim  broke  the  re- 
cently established  record.  Dr^den 
once  again  headed  his  squad  through 
the  goal  posts  to  another  team  victory.

Christmas  Bells 


Day 


I  heard  the  bells  on 
Their  old,  familiar  carols   play 
"    And    Wild    and  'sweet    " 
The   words  repeat 
Of  peace  on  earth,  goodwill  to  men! 

.And  thought  how,  as  the  day  had 

come, 
The  belfries  of  all  Christendom 

Had    rolled    along 

The   unbroken   song 
Of  peace  on  earth,  good-will  to  men! 

Till,    ringing,   singing   on    its   way. 
The  world  revolved  from  night  to 
day, 

A  voice,  a  chime, 

A   cbant   subh'nie 
Of  peace  on  earth,  good-will  to  men! 

Then  from  each  black,  accursed 

breech 
.The  cannon  thundered  in  the  East, 
And  with  [he  sound 
The    carols    drowned 
Of  peace  on  earth,  good-will  to  men! 

It  was  as  if  an  earthquake  rent 
The  hearth-stones  of  a  continent, 

.And   made  forlorn 

The   households   born 
Of  peace  on  earth,  good-will  to  men! 

And  in  despair  I  bowed  iny  head; 
"There  is  no  peace  on  earth,"  I  said; 
"For   hate   is  strong, 
.And  mocks  the  song 
Of  peace  on  earth,  good-will  to^icn!" 

Then  pealed  the  bells  more  loud  and 

deep: 
"God  is  not  dead;  nor  doth  he  sleep! 

The  Wrong  shall  fail. 

The  Right  prevail. 
Of  peace  on  earth,  good-will  to  men!" 


.  Hen:

Message  From 
Dean  Livingood 


Ouring  ihe  following  weeks  there 
M'lll  be  upportuntty  for  scudcnis  to 
Lake  a  \3nciy  of  class  i  fiat  lion  and 
vocaiiuiial  aplitude  ic^ls.  Announce- 
ment will  be  made  from  time  (o  time 
tuoccniing  the  tests.  There  is  iio  obli- 
gation for  any  student  to  take  any  ol 
the  tcjt^.  However,  the  student  tvho 
is  interested  in  knowing  more  about 
tUDueU  will  take  advantage  of  [he 
oppon  unity. 

In  view  of  the  mting  program  set 
up  b>  the  armed  forces,  it  is  dcsirable 
(or  all  men  and  ivonicn  to  become 
familiar  with  the  type  of  tests  given. 
Taking  tests  gives  experience  in  know- 
ing how  to  attack  test  situations  and 
gives  an  individual  tamJIiariiy  with 
the  variety  of  testing  problems.  Dur- 
ing Wurld  War  I!  classihcaiions  ivere 
made  of  testing  problems.  During 
World  War  II  clauifications  were 
made  on  the  basis  ot  the  .Army  Gene- 
ral Cla>>ification  Test.  An  opportunity 
ti*  take  this  test  is  offered  bv  the 
Dean's  office  for  inicrc\ied  individuals. 

Quoting  from  a  manual.  "The  .\rmy 
General  Classihcaiion  Test:  The  First 
Civilian  Edition  is  designed  as  a  mea- 
sure of  general  learning  ability.  It  was 
developed  to  classify  male  and  Icmale 
induaees  of  World  War  II  according 
to  their  ability  to  Icam  quickly  the 
Juiies  of  a  soldier'.  On  the  assumption 
that  modern  warfare  was  highly  teth- 
(itcal  in  nature,  emphasis  was  placed 
upon  tlie  measurement  of  the  psythf> 
l"Sical  functions  of  verbal  comprchcn- 
.ion,  quaniiutive  reasoning,  and 
'pacial   thinking." 

'Three  types  of  icsl  problems  are 
employed:  socabulary  to  mca-surc  the 
verbal  factor,  arithmetic  word  prol> 
iciui  to  measure  the  number  and 
'tr:i«Miing  factors,  and  blotk  counting 
to  measure  the  space  facioK  —  These 
types  of  items  were  selected  to  mini- 
tii'iK  educational  and  cultural  differ- 
aicei  in  ihe  divcric  -Army  population, 
t'l  measure  intellectual  rather  than 
pcrsunaljti  traits  or  spcdfic  informa- 
ii(»n,  and  to  appeal  lo  the  average 
I'-iung  adult   as  sensible." 

Ihcie  is  an  opponunity  for  any 
>tu(lmi  to  lake  psychological  tests  a.s 
well  as  personality  tests,  including

No  longer  do  the  dead  sqtteak  and 
gibber  in  the  streets.  The  modern 
world  has  replaced  that  son  of  thing 
with  professionals  who  do  siiueak  and 
gibber  after  the  dead.  Stich  an  one  is 
the  man  ivho  wrote  itvo  pages  of 
gibberish  about  G.  B.  Shaw  in  Time, 
November  13.  1050,  pp.  30-31.  Owing 
to  the  reluctance  of  Time  to  divulge 
the  names  o£  its  writers,  we  do  not 
know  who  w  roa  the  piece,  but  I 
imagine  him  to  bL  a  man  who  once 
took  a  short  course  in  Modem  Drama, 
and  who  somehoiv  didn't  do  his  les- 
sons between  Isben  and  O'Neill; 
3  man  who  somcuheic  heard  that 
Swift  md  \o1i'iire  were  satirists,  and 
wtio  has  read 
sotJLii  historj* 
ilii'  Eighteeneth 
t tiiiiin.  and  ior- 
.jintcii  most  of  it. 
Ilu^  num.  call 
him  Ishmael,  is 
so  burdened  by 
the  facility  of  his 
own  iheioric,  and 
by  the  prose  style 
of-  Time  (which 
has  become 
bearably  precious)  that  he  is  ptey  to 
that  very  fault  he  finds  in  Shaw;  e\- 
peiiness  in  "absurd  juxtapositions  and 
non  seijuilurs.  His  prose  is  made  of 
sentences  ivhich  have  less  and  less  to 
do  with  the  preceding  ones  -  .  ."  After 
making  loo  much  of  Shaw's  being 
Irish,  too  much  of  his  connection 
with  the  Eighteenth  ccniui7.  too 
iiich  of  his  Fabianism,  and  [ou  much 
of  his  cantankerousness.  our  Time- 
server  goes  out  the  door  wherein  he 
came.  .\nd  none  too  soon.  Ii's  getting 
to  the  place  whcVe  Time  is  totally 
unable  to  report  anything  without 
making  wisecracks  about  socialism, 
just  as  the  New  Republic  has  its  otvii 
peculiarity  the  other  way.  The  edi- 
torial in  the  Baltimore  Sun  a  day  or 
so  after  Shaw's  death,  was,  in  its  own 
way,  just  as  bad.  Someone  should 
point  out  to  the  journalists  that  it  is 
NOT  necessary  lo  write,  when  they 
have  nothing  to  say.  (Someone  should 
point  it  out  lo  me,  too).  Shaw  would 
be  amused.  1  think  he  might  poini  to 
the  text  in  Proverbs  "Smite  a  scorner 
and  the  simple  will  beware. "  or  "The 
scorner  is  an  abomination  to  men." 
Shaw  knew  why  authority  cannot  sup- 
port scorn.

FRANK  BROWER 
Frank  Browcr,  "Buddy".  "Sam 
Spade'",  etc.,  is  one  of  those  seldom 
seen,  but  well  known  figiues  on  cam- 
pus. He  lived  in  Price,  Md.  and  went 
lo  school  there  until  the  fifth  s;radc 
when  he  went  to  Church  Hill  and 
stayed  until  he  graduated  from  high 
school.  In  the  fall  of  1946  "Sam" 
went  to  Washington  and  Lee  Univer- 
sity in  Lexington,  Va.  but  transferred 
to  W.  C.  after  his  freshman  year. 

In  February  ol  1 948  "Buddy" 
pledged  Theta  Chi  and  held  the  posi- 
tion of  treasurer  last  year.  Perhaps 
the  soccer  field  and  baseball  diamond 
are  where  "Sam"  has  distinguished 
himself  'the  most,  for  he  has  four 
years  of  both  to  his  credit  along  with 
the  captaincy  of  each  this  year.  Plus 
all  this  he  has  played  four  years  of 
intcrmural  basketball  and  is  a  member 
of  three  years  standing  in  the  Varsity 
Club.  Buddy's  other  activities  include 
Business  Manager  of  the  Elm,  a  mem- 
ber of  O.  D.  K.  and  treasurer  of 
the    Senior    Class. 

Durin,(5  the  summers  "Buddy"  has 
worked  as  an  attendant  in  Sykcsville 
Mental  Institute,  a  waiter  at  "Pocono 
Gardens"  in  Pennsylvania,  and  as  a 
Chicken  "Expert". 

"Sam"    majors    in    Economics    and 
!S    a    minor    that    is    split    between 
ilittcal    Science    and    Psychology.    As 
his  future,  who  knows?  He  expects 
try  for  the  .-irmy  .•Mr  Corps,  O.C.S.

Humor  Is  A  Weapon 

[Adapted  from  The  Cavalier  Daily) 

The  University  of  Florida,  whose 
tendency  to  award  semester  hours  for 
such  subjects  as  Bathing  Suit  Posture 
has  long  disturbed  olhcr  Colleges  o( 
Liberal  Arts,  has  added  another  new 
wrinkle  to  education.  The  University 
has  added  a  course  in  Wit  and  Humor. 

Profes.sor  W.  E.  Moore,  who  is 
teaching  the  ha-ha  course,  describes 
its  main  purpose  as  follows:  "To 
develop  the  student's  ability  to  perceive 
the  comic  elements  in  situations  and 
in  people  without  being  upset  by  them 
— and,  above  all,  to  recognize  the 
comic  elrmcnts   in   himself." 

It  would  be  easy,  of  course,  to 
dismiss  Professor  Moore  as  just  an- 
other bull  in  the  academic  china 
shop,  but  we  detect  method  in  the 
professor's   madness. 

After  all,  in  an  age  of  depressing 
complexity,  the  ability  to  laugh  at 
yourself  is  certainly  a  more  construc- 
tive aid  to  living  than  nine  Icnthi 
of  the  courses  presently  offered  in 
college.  When  the  draft  notice  arrives, 
there's  not  much  comfbri  in  having 
majored  in  Foreign  Affairs,  or  Geog- 
raphy. There  is  nothing  left  to  do 
but  laugh,  and  it  helps  to  be  good 
at  it. 

Futhermorc,  a  sense  of  humor,  ai 
a  weapon,  is  unconquerable,  and  ncvef 
obsolete.  In  its  arsenal  are  the  rapid- 
action  snicker,  the  rccoilless  chuckle, 
and  the  sixtcen-inch  guffaw,  primed 
at  a  mopicnt's  notice  to  demolish 
over-«eriousne5s  and  blast  pomposity 
out  of   the  sky. 

The  material  Professor  Moore  deals 
with  may  not  have  an  academic  pedi- 
gree but  it  comes  closer  to  being  signi- 
ficant than  two  thousand  years  of 
Greek  and  Latin.  —  From  the  Ran- 
ilolph-Macon  Yellow  Jacket.

By  JIM  BEACH 


Although  outshone  in  the  scoring  column  by  Nick  Scallion  last 
Friday,  George  Dempsey.  Kings  College  forward,  attracted  consid- 
erable comment  from  local  cage  fans.  It  was  apparent  throughout 
the  contest  that  the  visiting  quintet  was  moulded  ,around  the  tow- 
ering forward,  who  moved  with  smoothness  and  coordination, 
cliaracteristic  of  the  terrific  ball  player  he  is.  His  24  points  prove 
that  he  is  a  constant  scoring  threat,  being  particularly  effective  on 
tap-ins.  Big  George  has  another  year  of  basketball  eligibility  and 
should  draw  plenty  of  comment  in  Eastern  cage  ranks. 

FRATERNITY  BOWLING   LEAGUE  ' 

In  an  effort  to  stimulate  interest  and  friendly  competitive  spirit 
among  the  fraternities  a  four  team  bowling  league  has  been  organ- 
ized. The  teams  consist  of  5  men  each,  and  activity  is  expected 
to  get  under  way  Thursday,  January  5,  at  the  local  bowling  center. 
The  league  will  be  tested  for  a  couple  of  months  and,  if  it  works 
out  satisfactorily,  other  groups  will  be  encouraged  to  organize  teams. 

BASEBALL  BONUS  RULE  OUT 

The  major  leagues  have  tossed  out  the  player  bonus  rule  and 
lugh  school  agreement.  (The  minors  had  previously  voted  to  kill 
both  rules.) 

The  bonus  rule,  whereby  players  were  paid  for  signing  their 
contract,  allowed  a  player  only  one  year  of  minor  league  seasoning. 
Then,  in  the  case  of  major  teams,  the  player  had  to  be  put  on  the 
roster,  or  waivers  asked  on  him. 

The  high-school  rule  was  a  "hands  off'  sign  to  the  "pros" 
so  long  as  the  athlete  was  still  in  high  school. 


19S0  Soccer  Parade 


The  W.  C.  hooters  opened  their 
1950  soccer  season  with  a  2-0  victor)'

dez opened  the  scoring  for  the  Maroon 
and  Black  with  a  marker  in  the  sec- 
ond quarter.  In  the  second  half,  W.  C.

Johns  Hopkins  to  the  tune  of  3-2.

netted  goals  In  the  third  stanza.  In 
the  fourth  quarter  the  Shore  team 
scored  twice  to  take  a  3-1  lead.  With 
eight  minutes  remaining,  Hopkins

W.  C.  suffered  its  second  setback' 
at  the  hands  of  the  U.  of  Delaware 
by  the  score  of  5-2.  Delaware  seized 
an  early  lead  and  it  wasn't  until  the 
final  period  that  the  locals  were  able 
to  score.  Walt  Ortel  and  Jesse  Bran- 
denburg shared  the  scoring  for  the 
Shomcn.  Baltimore  U.  handed  the 
Maroon  and  Black  their  third  con- 
secutive defeat  by  the  slender  margin 
of  2-1.  B.  U.  scored  first  in  the 
opening  quarter.  The  score  remained 
1-0  until  mid-way  in  the  fourth  stanza, 
when  Hernandez  tied  it  up.  With  four 
minutes  left,  B.  U.  scored  the  winning 
goal  on  a  penalty  kick,  giving  them 
the   Mason-Dixon   title. 

The  next  victim  of  the  locals  was 
Drcxcl  Tech  who  fell  3-2.  The  game,

On  Wednesday,  December  4, 
Lambda -Chi  met  a  scrappy  Newman 
Club  team  in  which  the  Newman  Club 
emerged  victorious  by  a  score  of  26  to 
18.  F.  Frcdricks  was  the  high  scorer 
for  the  Newman  Club  with  a  tally  ol 
ten  points  while  Fisher.  Trader,  and 
I-aiilkner  contributed  four  each  for  the 
Lambda  Chi's. 

Thursday  a  double  header  was 
played  between  Somesret  and  Nappa 
Alpha;  and  Thcta  Chi  and  the  Day 
Students.  Zaloski  led  the  KA's  to  a 
36  to  15  victory  over  Somerset  by 
racking-up  twelve  points.  High  scorer

NOTE:      Games     scheduled     from 

March  1  to  March  12  conflicts  with  the 

baseball  practice  which  begins  indoors 

March  1. 

Therefore.  I  will  try  to  play  these 
games  at  opportune  times.  Managers 
and  coaches  watch  the  Bulletin 
for  further  information. 

COACH  A, 


Scallion  Leads 
State  Scorers   • 


Nick  Scallion 
Leads  Team 
To  Victory 


W.  C.  opened  its.  1950-51  basket- 
ball season  with  56-40  win  over  Kings 
College,  of  New  Casde,  Delaware,  last 
Friday  night  at  the  Chcstcrtown  .Ar- 
mory. 

Nick  Scallion  took  individual  scor- 
ing honors  with  35  points,  getting  19 
in  the  first  half.  The  Shore  "quintet 
jumped  lo  a  quick  7-0  lead  early  in 
the  first  quarter.  After  both  teams 
reached  double  figures  in  the  scoring 
column,  the  Maroon  and  Black  main- 
tained a  fifteen  point  margin,  leading 
32-20    at    half    time. 

The  boys  from  across  the  Bay  were 
never  out  of  the  money  until  late  in 
the  final  stanza.  With  their  big  for- 
ward, George  Dcmpscy,  they  were  a 
constant  threat,  as  his  24  points  will 
testify.  Dcmpsey  was  the  East's  third 
highest  per  game  scorer  in  the  1949- 
50  season,  and  is  an  ever  present 
scorer   against    any    team. 

Coach  Athcy  was  able  lo  give  his 
entire  squad  a  chance  to  see  action. 
Butch  McHugh  and  Bill  Brogan  were 
compelled  to  sit  the  final  quartet 
out  because  of  fouls.  Kenny  Sullivan 
was  close  behind  with  four  personals. 

Scallion  had  his  eye  fixed  on  the 
hoop  from  the  outset  of  the  game; 
his  35  points  being  just  three  shy  of 
the  court  record  of  38.  Next  to  Scal- 
lion in  scoring  was  Bcrnie  Rudo  with 
five  points.  The  remainder  of  the 
scoring  was  divided  among  the  rest 
of  the  squad. 


Bow  To  P.M.C. 

The  following  night,  the  locals 
traveled  to  Chester,  Pa.,  and  found 
the  going  pretty  rough.  Pennsylvania 
Militarj-  College  handed  them  their 
first  court  defeat,  86-63  at  Hyatt 
Armory.  -W  Ingber  contributed  22 
points  for  the  victors,  but  yielded 
top  scoring  honors  to  Nick  Scallion 
who  dumped   in  a  futile  28. 

Kenny  SuUivan,  hitting  from  the 
outside,  garnered  10  counters  for  the 
W.  C.  quintet,  followed  closely  by 
Harry  Miller  with  9.  Scallion  appeared 
to  have  his  sights  well  fixed  on  the 
hoop,  but  was  forced  out  of  the  game 
raid-way  through  the  second  half  be- 
cause of  personal  fouls.  At  one  point 
during  the  last  half  P.M.C.  staged  one 
long  scoring  spurt  during  which  they 
scored   27   points   to   Washington's   7. 


Nick  Scallion,  Washington  College's 
southpaw  basketball  star,  has  lost  none 
of  his  accuracy  at  the  hoop  cords. 
Early  returns  from  the  Stale's  nine 
collegiate  polling  places  indicate  that 
the  Hazelion,  Pa.  "kid"  is  due  foi 
another   bang-up  season. 

So  far.  with  only  two  games  under 
his  bell  the  slender  junior  has  bucket- 
ed 63  points  for  an  average  of  31,5. 
(This  docs  not  include  the  West  Ches- 
ter game.)

Holdovers  Mile 

Holdover  Mile 


Upon  the  gradfialion  of  Larry  Bran- 
denburg and  Mickey  Hubbard,  this 
year's  mile  relay  team  will  not  have  as 
easy  a  time  retiring  the  beautiful 
Washington  Evening  Star  Trophy  that 
the  Maroon  and  Black  had  so  little 
trouble  winning  last  season. 

Dim  Moniero  has  called  all  indoor 
trackmen  out  for  practice  and  a  dili- 
gent group  has  been  working  all  week. 
Two  of  the  top  men  of  last  year's 
relay  team  arc  back.  Kenny  Howard 
and  Jim  TwiUey.  However,  the  job 
of  rounding  out  the  four  man  unit, 
will    by  no  means  be  easy. 

Ihe  Shoremen  have  entered  only 
two  winter  meets,  those  being  the 
Washington  indoor  games  and  the 
South  Atlantic  meet  in  Baltimore.  Due 
to  lack  of  man  power  and  expense, 
the  team  will  not  travel  to  New  York 
North  Carolina.  However,  several 
members  ot  our  leam  will  be  run- 
ning for  ihe  Baltimore  Olympic  Club 
which  has  scheduled  eleven  meets  this 
winter.  The  ihindadLs  who  have  lum- 
cd  out  Ibis  week  are  Fil  Dryden.  Fred 
La  Wall.  Frank  Byham.  Tom 
Benson,  Paul  Becker,  George  Eichet- 
burger.  Harold  Garrett.  Jack  Nfc- 
Collough,  John  Minnick,  Ken  Howard 
and  Jim  Twillcy.

Design  New  Type 
Football  Shoe 


new  stv-lc  football  shoe  has  rec- 
ently been  revealed  by  one  of  the 
fcading  equipment  manufacturers.  This 
.hoc  assures  reduction  of  stumbles, 
fumbles  and  falls.  A  ring  cleat  has 
been  placed  on  the  sole  directly 
beneath  the  ball  of  the  foot  and  an 
.ddilional  set  of  circular  arc  clcflti 
las  been  added  on  the  heel  and   toe. 

.\ccordine  to  tests  made  at  a  north- 
rn  iunvcrsity  laboratory  these  clcati 
give  more  traction,  better  getaway, 
quicker  and  surer  stops,  and  greater 
maneuverability.  The  ring  cleat,  first 
revolutionary-  change  in  football  ihocf 
in  25  years,  is  made  of  light-weight 
aluminum  alloy,  ft  allows  more  foot 
support  with  an  assurance  of  reduc- 
tion in  the  number  of  blisters;  and 
clogging  of  mud  resulting  in  loss  ol 
traction    is    eliminated. 

Football  authorities  report  that  a 
number  of  injuries  are  ankle,  knee 
and  hip  with  a  large  percentage  re- 
sulting from  twisting  forces  on  the 
kg.  The  new  cleat  shoe  provides  a 
broader  platform  of  stability,  oiTcrs 
better  traction,  and  therefore  enables 
the  player  to  turn  with  greater  ease 
and  with  less  chance  of  twisting  an 
ankle  or  knee.

Johnson's  Jayvce's  Trip 

College  All-Stars 

Washington  College's  Junior  Var- 
sity ba-skciball  team  scored  a  decisive 
-l^-'2't  victory  over  ihc  College  All- 
Siai-s  in  the  preliminary  to  the  King's 
College  game  last  Friday  night.  This 
was  Ihc  first  game  of  the  season  for 
Coach  Babe  Johnson's  Jayvces, 

"Blonde  Boh"  .■\pplcby.  freshman 
fonvai'd  for  the  Juniors,  was  the 
game's  top  scorer  with  16  points  while 
his  teammate  Ells  Boyd,  lanky  center, 
contributed  12.  The  two  diminutive 
guards.  Mole  Jnnigan  and  Wcs  Ed- 
wards, were  outstandning  with  their 
ball  handling  and  playmaking. 

The  All-S(ar  aggicgation  was  com- 
posed of  the  best  basketball  players  of 
[he  college  .who  arc  not  participating 
in  varaiiy  or  junior  vai^siiy  competi- 
tion, ^hey  were  coached  by  Lee  Cook, 
last  year's  varsity  captain,  who  also  led 
them  in  the  point  getting  depaitmeni 
with    12   maikers. 

Besides  some  311.000  needle-sharp 
quills,  the  porcupine  has  sharp  teeth 
that  can  sevrc  a  finger  in  one  bite.  But 
to  the  naturalist  who  knows  his  "(|uill 
pigs",  porky  is  one  wild  animal  most 
readily  caught  and  killed  without  a 
gun,  Contraiy  lo  common  belief,  il  can 
not  throw  its  quills  and  may  be  safely 
grasped  by  the  tail  near  the  base.  Un- 
like other  animals  that  unn  and  at- 
tempi  to  bite,  the  porcupine  seeks  only 
lo  pull  awav.

By  JIM  BEACH 


With  two  games  under  iht-ir  belts  since  the  holiday  vacation 
tlie  Sho-men  of  Washington  College  still  boast  the  states  top  scoring 
star  in  Nick  Scallion.  Over  a  5  game  span  the  nifty  southpaw  has 
compiled  a  lofty  28.6  average. 

In  the  post  holiday  lilts  Nick  has  dumped  in  21  and  31  points 
respectfully  against  West  Chester  State  Teachers  and  Western 
Maryland.  The  Western  Maryland  contest  marked  the  first  Mason 
Dixon  Conference  game  for  the  locals  and  they  won  a  thriller  in 
the  final  moments  on  two  quick  field  goals  by  Danny  Samele. 
Appie,  Athey,  Johnson,  star  .  .  . 

Giad  to  see  "Babe"  Johnson  who  was  declared  ineligible  for 
college  ball,  going  great  guns  for  the  Denton  Bobcat  quintet  of 
the  Eastern  Shore  Basketball  League. 

Coaches  Apichella.  Athey,  and  Johnson  form  an  integral  part 
of  the  squad  that  has  the  Bobcats  in  second  place,  one  half  game 
behind  the  pace-setting  Georgetown  five. 
High  School  Star 

Down  at  the  Eastern  Shore  one  certain  Steve  Gulyas.  Ocean 
City  High  center,  is  attracting  considerable  attention  from  rival 
coaches.  The  6  foot  5  inch  youngster  has  racked  up  74  points  in  3 
games  for  a  respectable  24.2  average. 

In  a  recent  contest  with  a  Salisbury  quintet  he  scored  22  point; 

before  retiring  after  2  minutes  of  the  third  quarter.  Such  a  giant 

might  prove  quite  an  asset  to  ■iuch  a  small  crew  as  W.C.  floors. 

Happy  Ne^v  Year 

Though  it  may  seem  somewhat  late  the  thought  is  still  there. 
On  behalf  of  the  entire  Sports  Staff  your  writer  would  like  to  take 
this  opportunity  to  wish  you  all  a  very  happy  and  prosperous  New 
year.

fuls training  diligently  in  preparation 
for  the  Washington  Evening  Star 
indoor  track  and  field  meet  in  Wash- 
ington, D.C.  tomorrow   night. 

The  task  of  retiring  the  beautiful 
Shaw  trophy  lies  in  their  ability  (o 
outrun  several  other  outstanding 
Mason-Dixon  schools.  Our  main  threat 
mav  be  Catholic  University,  howeiei. 
Bridgewater.  Randolph-Macon  and 
Roanoke  College  are  hy  no  mean*  to 
be  forgotten.  The  trophy,  donated  by

Western  Maryland 

Washington  College 
Western     Maryland     fell     before     a 
.   C.   onslaught   last   Saturday   night 
the  locals  handed  out  a  56-55  heat- 
ing in  a  Mason-Dixon  Basketball  Con- 
ference    game     at     the     Chestertown 

This  marked  the  conference  opener 
for  both  teams,  ThtT  Washington  quint 
has  now  won  2  of  its  5  outings,  while 
W.  M.  has  been  dropped  in  6  of  their 
7  starts. 

Washington's  Nick  Scallion  was  high 

an  for  the  night  with  31  points, 
upping  his  season  average  to  28.6 
points  per  game.  The  nifty  southpaw 
tarted  off  the  game  strong,  amassing 
20  of  his  team's  total  of  27  points  at 
half  time. 

Western  M.  began  timiing  on  the 
steam  in  the  second  half,  and,  with 
the  aid  of  their  C  (t.  5  in.  center. 
Chuck  Hammaker.  held  the  lead  deep 
into    the    final   stanza. 

Tke  fourth  quarter  was  characterized 
by  hotly  contested  decisions,  hard 
scrappy  play,  and  highlighted  by 
Danny  Samcle's  two  final  set  shots, 
which  put  the  game  on  ice.  Danny 
played  his  outstanding  game  since 
donning  a  Sho'man  uniform  along 
with   collecting  9  points. 

High  man  for  the  Gieen  and  Gold 
was     Hammaker     witli     20     markers. 
Kenny    Sullivan   and    Don    Press   each 
had   II   for  the  evening.

in  Wilmington,  Delaware.  January  3. 
at  the  expense  of  Beacom  College  by

ors for  the  game,  howrter,  went  to

points.  Bill  Wootcn,  cx-Saliibury  Stale

WEST  CHESTER  COLLEGE 

vs. 

WASHINGTON  COLLEGE 

West    Chester    College    piled  .up    a 

-50   score   to  down   W.   C.   for   the 

third  time  in  four  starts  on  the  losers 

The  invaders  had  the  situation  well 
in  hand  after  overcoming  an  early 
spurt   by   the  locals. 

West  Chester  emerged  the  victors 
for  the  second  time  in  as  many  en- 
counters with  the  Maroon  and  Black. 
Nick  Scallion  hit  the  cords  for  21 
point;s,  but  he  and  his  mates,  proved 
no  match  for  their  western  foes. 

At  times  the  game  got  a  little  rough, 
resulting  in  the  removal  of  Washing- 
ton's Kenny  Sullivan  and  Butch  Mc- 
Hugh because  of  fouls.  West  Chester 
also  saw-  two  of  its  quint  sidelined 
for  roughness. 

It  was  these  same  Westerners  that 
handed  the  Sho'men  their  second  loss 
it  the  season.  This  lime  the  scene  of 
ction  was  the  victors  court  the  day 
before  school  was  dismissed  for 
Christmas  vacation. 

This  is  the  first  of  five  consecutive 
home  games  for  the  Alheymen,  the 
longest  stand  of  the  season.  The  re- 
maining four  games  will  l>e  with 
Western  Maryland,  Baltimore  U., 
Towson  Teachers,  and  American  U. 
in  that  order.

OF    DRAFT    LAWS   AND    MARKS 

A  man  may  stay  in  school  after  he 
has  passed  his  Array  physical  foi 
varying  length  of  lime  depending  on 
certain  circumstances.  After  he  hi 
passed  his  physical,  he  may  no  lunger 
enlist.  This  seems  to  have  caused  quite 
a  bit  of  indecision  among  college  men, 
especially  at  this  time  of  vMr.  Should 
Ihey  enlist  noiv  and  chouse  their  ser 
vice,  or  wait  for  their  physical. 

We  sec  by  the  newspapers  that  many 
colleges  throughout  the  nation  are 
wondering  what  to  do  about  the  stU' 
dents  who  are  leaving  school  to  enlist 
before  the  semester  ends.  Washington 
College  faces  the  same  problem.  Some 
of  the  schools  have  decided  in  give 
the  students  credit  for  the  unlinished 
[erm;  other  schools  have  decided  to 
record  an  automatic  failure  in  these 
instances.  Some  have  decided  to  record 
ihe  simple  fact  that  the  student  has 
withdrawn.  This  last  solution  seems 
to  be  a  fair  one  but  not  necessarily 
the  best. 

We  do  not  believe  that  a  student 
should  be  given  a  passing  grade  just 
because  he  feels  forced  to  enlist  now 
or  be  drafted  later.  We  do  think  that 
a  person  who  enlists  and  has  success- 
fully passed  14  weeks  of  a  ICiveek 
course  could  be  given  a  semester  mark 
on  the  basis  of  his  H  weeks'  work- 
Ihe  person  who  has  been  failing  in  a 
course  for  14  weeks  should  be  given 
a  failing  grade.  This  would  help  to 
keep  the  school  records  neat  with  no 
dangling  loose  ends. 

This  move  would  also  help  to  start 
a  little  thinking  on  the  part  o(  the 
"escapist"  enlistee)  —  those  who  are 
enlisting  because  Ihey  are  failing  any- 
way, and  who  would  no  doubt  be  per- 
fectly happy  to  have  their  marks  left 
in  the  misty  realm  of  uncertainty 
forever.

Elseivhcre  in  the  ELM  can  be  found 
an  article  lelling  of  plans  being  made 
to  obtain  funds  for  ihe  World  Student 
Service  Fund.  This  fund  merits  the 
full  support  of  the  undergraduate  bo<ly 
and  the  faculty.  It  guarantees  continu- 
ance of  the  far-reaching  aid  WSSF 
lias  in  the  past  been  able  to  bring  to 
scholars  and  scientists   abroad. 

One  of  the  most  important  aims  of 
Ihc  WSSF  campaign  is  to  help  the 
CARE-UNESCO  Book  Fund  program 
w  supplying  the  latest  American  scien- 
tific and  technical  literature  to  war-

DO    YOU    EAT    THERE? 


Since  our  return  to  Wa-ihingii 
lege  after  the  holidays,  we  have  heard 
much  grumbling  concerning  Hod- 
Hall.  We  thought  at  fust  it  might  be 
just  a  seasonal  thing  due  to  the  usual 
jaded  appetites  and  heavier  pui~ies 
which  generally   follow  a   holiday. 

We  did  a  little  poll-taking  on 
own  to  sec  what  the  siory  was  (we  eai 
iheie  loo).  We  contacted  students 
ranging  from  the  campus  critic,  whom 
nothing  pleases,  to  the  more  conserva- 
tive. The  opinion  seem  to  be  —  the 
original  quality  of  the  food  was  good, 
the  menu  was  varied  as  could  be 
expected  and  as  a  rule  there 
plenty  of  it,  but  a  truly  palatable 
meal  was  an  e.vception  rather  than  the 
rule. 

We  have  heard  that  it  is  impossible 
lo  cook  for  a  large  number  of  people 
and  still  have  the  food  taste  like 
home  cooking.  We  know  ihat  thi 
true  but  we  feel  that  a  change  for  the 
better  could  certainly  take  place 
the  food  now  served  at  our  tables. 

Another  thing  is  the  last  minute 
announcement  of  change  in  time  as  to 
when  a  meal  will  be  served.  Here  is 
an  example  of  what  happens  at  pre- 
:  A  person  who  is  supposed  to  eat 
on  the  second  shift  at  noon  Saturday 
happens  to  miss  breakfast.  M  the 
breakfast  which  he  missed  it  was  an- 
nounced that  Ihere  would  be  only  one 
lunch  served  (at  12:15)  due  to  ihc 
small  number  of  people  on  campus. 
This  person  assumes  there  will  be  two 
lunches  served  as  there  sometimes  are. 
At  12:45  (his  regular  lime  for  lunch) 
he  goes  to  Hodson  only  to  find  that  he 
has  missed  the  boat.  He  ihcn  has  to 
eat  elsewhere  at  his  own  expense  after 
missing  a  meal  which  he  has  already 
paid  for.  (This  also  happens  occasion- 
ally on  Saturday  nights  and  Sundays 
noon.) 

It  jcems  to  us  that  it  would  be 
fairly  easy  for  a  notice  to  be  posted 
in  Hodson  Hall  at  least  ^  hours  in 
advance  when  there  is  to  be  only  one 
shift  —  then  it  could  be  left  up  to 
the  student  to  find  out  whai  lime  a 
meal  would  be  served. 

.■\nolher  solution  would  be:  When 
here  is  to  be  only  one  shift,  serve 
he  meal  at  the  usual  time  that  the 
second  shift  is  sened  which  would 
n  lunch  at  12:45  P.M.  and  dinner  at 
6:00  P.M.  It  is  possible  Ihat  if  this 
syitem  were  adopted  some  of  the 
people  might  forget  the  new  system 
and  be  45  minutes  early  for  a  meal 
but.  at  lust  nobody  should  be  late. 


loosened.  Dr.  Smith  brought  his  work- 
ers from  Philadelphia  to  Chcstertown 
to  build  the  college,  and.  to  go  on  in 

:  words  of  Mr.  Barroll.  "The  diffi 
_._lty  of  keeping  these  laborers  conteni 
away  from  their  homes  and  families 
must  have  been  great;  but  Dr.  Smith 
a  profound  student  of  human 
nature,  besides  being  a  most  cmineni 
divine  and  successful  educator,  and 
his  method  of  overcoming  ihis  diffi- 
culty is  roseate  and  elTcctual." 

■  "May  20,  1785    lo  Col.  Perkins  for 

Galls.    Rum,    for    workers    on    the 

College  1/3/-1." 

'"May   31,   1785  to  Col.   Perkins 

Galls.   Rum    1/3/4.   .   ." 

■■■Jan.  2,  1786  to  Capt.  Alexander 
Murray  for  a  hhd.  Rum  for  the  work- 
men on  the  College,  Qty  119  Galls,  a 
4s  per  gallon.  23/16." ' 

This  went  on  for  three  years,  wiih 
gallon  after  gallon  of  the  moving 
spirit  of  Rev.  Smith  pouring  into  the 
College,  until  ihis  succinct  entry: 
■October  2.  1786  for  V/i  galls.  Spirits 
and  a  bottle  of  wine  for  raising  the 
rafters   1/4." 

Since  I  could  not  improve  on  Mr 
Barroll's  comment  on  all  this  TH 
quote  him  in  full.  "It  seems  that  in 
1785  there  was  no  argument  so  potent 
as  a  large  swallow  of  rum  on  Saturday 
night  to  convince  a  workman  ihat  hii 
week's  service  was  not  complete  on 
Wednesday  evening.  The  incontrover 
Lible  wisdom  of  this  argument  i' 
ihown  by  the  perfect  harmony  always 
existing  between  employers  and  em 
ployce;  ihc  total  absence  of  strikes  and 
labor  troubles  from  all  the  records  of 
the  period  show  that  the  social  con- 
lact  was  loo  well  lubricated  to  be 
strained." 

It  would  not  be  amiss  to  point  ou 
that  in  the  salad  days  of  our  republic 
such  goings-on  were  as  common  as 
Meihodist  Sunday  School  picnics  are 
today.  Ministers,  in  particular,  were 
noted  for  their  drinking  habits,  a;

of  the  stuff  himself)  makes  cejar  in 
The  Great  Illusion,  a  study  of  Pro 
hibiiion  and  a  recent  acquisition  ic 
the  Bunting  Library.  Ministers  of  the 
Gospel  made  fifteen  to  twenty  calls  a 
day  and  ai  each  home  they  were  e.t 
peeled  to  dring  a  waieiglass  of  rum 
Consequently  they  were  drunk  most 
of  the  time.  If  this  be  scandalalous,

Many  students  «lo  not  know  how 
the  mechanism  of  marking  works. 
Therefore,  we  present  to  the  un- 
washed a  cross  section  of  the  semester 
marks.  In  the  words  of  the  immoral 
bawd — 

"A  B  or  not  a  B,  that  is  the  question. 
Whether   'lis   nobler   in    the   mind 
to  suffer   Ihe  classes  and   lectures 
of    outrageous    professors,    or    to 
lake  arms  against  a  C  of  troubles 
and  by  passing,  end  them." 
Abercombie  Fitch  is  proud  of  his  A. 
For  the  past  month  he  has  been  tak- 
ing   Professor    Glickenswagger    out    lo 
dinner.    After    fifty    dollars    worth    of 
wining  and  dining,  the  old  boy  came 
through.  This  is  oiily  right  considering 
the    fact    ibat    [he   good   professor   is 
Abercorabie's   uncle. 

Boris  Bulsh  studied  like  a  fiend  for 
the  big  exam.  On  the  night  before  the 
exam  he  met  the  professor  presiding 
over  a  Barmaid's  Union  meeting  at 
Mother  Kern's  and,  after  ten  beers, 
managed  lo  lalk  his  way  into  a  B. 

Clarence  Crapii  studied  for  hours 
on  end.  Of  course,  ihis  is  hard  on  the 
you  know  what.  Clarence  did  not  know 
which  bar  his  professor  patronized  and 
therefore  had  to  go  into  the  exam 
Id.    Result— C. 

Darius  Dalyrymple  did  not  even 
bother  to  study.  He  went  to  night 
school  at  Mother  Kern's  and  byp  racti- 
cing  daily  managed  lo  stretch  his  neck 
muscles  enough   lo  get  a  D. 

Meed  Fancy  Felix  Foch  (pronounced 
Fosh).     Felix    had    a    swell    time    the 
before  ihe  exam.  He  was  so  pie- 
eyed   Ihat   he  could   not  even  see  his 
rn    paper.    Felix    was    unlucky,   bow- 
er, for  he  got  to  class  late  and  had 
to  sit  in  Ihc  front  of  the  room.  The 
:|  result  was,  of  course,  an  F. 
These  examples  of  young  American 
manhood  should  prove  to  the  reader 
that    crime    does    not    pay    and    Ihat

Campaign 


A  group  of  students  representing 
various  phases  of  college  life  met  on 
Monday  with  Dr.  Smith  to  discuss  a 
project  for  obtaining  money  for  the 
World  Studcnl  Service  Fund. 

For  three  years,  Washingion  Col- 
lege has  contributed  to  the  organi 
n,  and  each  year  a  reprcscniative 
has  appeared  in  the  assembly  to  dis- 
cuss the  work  of  the  World  Student 
Service  Fund.  Last  week  Sophia 
Meria  of  Greece  was  guest  speaker. 

I  place  of  individual  donations, 
this  year  a  definite  program  will  be 
presented  as  a  means  of  obtaining  the 
money.  It  was  decided  that  informa- 
tion would  be  obtained  from  the 
World  Student  Service  organization 
concerning  specific  supplies  that  the 
college  eould  coritribute,  and  in  the 
near  future  an  activity  will  be 
planned. 

The     committee     working     on     this 
idea    consists    of    Tom    Benson,    Duke 
Case,    John    Grim,    Elinor    Gustafso 
Mendel    Heilie,    Sandy    Jones,    \'in 
Maeliocelii,    Sandv    Recdcr.    Ed    Ry 


and    Phyllis    Scitz.    As    chairman,    the 

group  appointed  Elinor  Gustafson. 

Candidates  for  June  gvaduaiion  who 
have  completed  the  work  at  the  end 
of  ihe  scmesier  and  do  not  plan  to 
return  for  the  second  semesicr  and 
any  students  who  are  withdrawing 
voluntarily,  are  requested  lo  file  a 
written  notice  of  their  plans  in  the 
Dean's  office  no  later  than  two  weeks

Far  East 
Discussed 


The  Forensic  Society  presented  for 
the  assembly  program  on  Thursday  a 
forum  of  foiir  members  discussing  the 
Far  Eastern  situation  with  special 
emphasis  on  Korea.  The  program  was 
presented  by  the  Political  Union  divi- 
sion of  the  society  in  accordance  with 
one  of  their  aims  to  bring  important 
political    issues    to    the    student    body. 

As  Vice-President  and  head  of  the 
Political  Union  division,  Jim  Haebel

bers presenting  their  views  as  the 
forum  were  Filmore  Dryden,  Orem 
Robinson,  Mendel  Hcilig,  Henry 
Louie,  and  Walt  Voclker. 

Originally,  the  society  had  hoped 
to  present  Lieutenant  Robert  Du- 
laney  of  United  States  Intelligence 
[or  the  a'i.'Jembly.  However.  Ll.  Du- 
lancy  was  called  to  active  duty  in

College  Plans  To  Hold  Summer  Session 


Student  Draft  Prominent 
Subject  At  Convention 


Ihc  naiional  emergency 
effect  on  roltcgc  enrollment  was  the 
principle  subject  discussed  ai  the  an- 
nual convention  of  the  Association  of 
American  Colleges,  held  at  Atlantic 
City,  New  Jersey  fiom  Januaiy  8  lo 
January  10.  Dr.  Daniel  '/.  Gibson. 
President  of  Washington  College,  and 
Dr.  John  S.  Smith,  .Adminisiratiic 
sisiant,  lepificiitcd  this  college  at  the 
convention. 

Declaration   Of   Manpower 

As  a  rcsnli  of  the  discussions  held 
at  the  convention,  attended  by  pronii 
ncni  educators  and  scholars  from  al 
parts  of  Ihc  country,  a  'DECLARA- 
TION  ON  AtANPOVVER"  was  drawn 
up  and  submitted  to  Mrs.  Anna  Rosen- 
berg, Assistant  Secretary  of  Defense, 
The  following  is  a  partial  list  of  pro- 
posals recommended  by  the  Ai 
to  the  Department  of  Defense; 

II:  We  request  [hat  appropriate 
authorities  take  immediate  steps 
assure  that  students  whose  induction 
is  now  postponed  or  deferred  will  be 
pcnniiied  to  apply  for  entrance,  at 
termination  of  their  postponement, 
branch  of  the  armed  services  in  which 
voluntary  enlistment  is  now  permitted, 
regardless  of  any  inteii'ening  action  by 
the  Selective  Service  System. 

"Ill:  Since  the  shortage  of  trained 
pei-sonncl  is  becoming  acute,  and  wo- 
men power  is  an  ever  more  important 
source  of  leadership  in  civilian  scnice 
and  in  the  professions,  wc  urge  ade- 
quate and  imniediaie  comprehensive 
planning  lo  ensure  the  consi 
Utilization  of  the  ability  and  training 
of  all  college  women. 

"V:  Certain  groups  of  students 
enrolled  in  colleges  and  univer 
have  progressed  so  far  with  their 
studies,  that  i[  is  in  the  national 
interest  to  allow  them  to  complete 
Ihcir  coulee.  Among  the  students  to  be 
deferred  during  the  present  transition 
al   period   should    be: 

A.  Students  in  professional  schooh 
of  theology,  of  medicine,  dentistry  and 
related  health  fields,  and  in  the  gra- 
duate schools  in  maihemaiics,  engi- 
nccriug,  and  physical  and  biological 
sciences. 

B.  All  siudenls  who  will  have  com- 
pleted two  years  of  undergraduate 
study  in  any  curriculum  by  July  19.t1 
aiid  who  are  eligible  to  continue  be 
cause  of  satisfactory  standing  in  accred- 
ited  four  year  colleges. 

"VI:  An  enrolled  college  student 
who  reaches  the  age  of  induction 
while  successfully  pui-suing  a  course 
of  study  should  have  his  induction 
postponed  lo  the  end  of  his  academic 
year. 

"VII:  If  eighteen  year  olds  are  to  be 
subject  to  imiveisat  military  service, 
wc  assume  that  it  is  unlikely  that 
more  than  half  could  be  inducted  in 
the  first  year  of  the  new  legislation. 
To  reduce  to  a  minimum  ihc  uncer- 
tainty in  the  minds  of  prospective  and 
present  college  -students,  ii  is  highly 
desirable  that  those  who  are  not  to  he 
inducted  before  the  opening  of  their 
academic  year  should  be  notified  that 
lUcy  will  be  able  to  complete  that  year

munion breakfast  to  be  held  on  Sun-

19,'>1  and  closing  July  lil.  The 
classes  are  scheduled  to  meet  live  days 
a  week,  Monday  through  Friday,  and 
will  be  of  one  and  one-half  hours 
duration,  ihe  equivalent  of  one  semes- 
ter hour.  A  maximuiu  work  load  of  six 
semester  hours  will  be  alloweil  each 
student. 

The  present  college  faculty  will 
teach  the  courses  to  be  offered  this 
sunmicr.  Campus  facilities,  including 
Ihe  dormitories,  will  be  ^l^ed  as  the 
need  arises. 

Qucstionaircs  To  Be  Disiribuied 
Quesiionaires  will  he  distributed  to 
the  student  body  early  in  the  next 
semester.  (Sec  sample  below).  The  re- 
sults of  Ihe  questionaire  will  be  used 
to  determine  the  number  ol  students 
intertilled  in  the  summer  session  as 
well  as  the  courses  desired.  A  probable 
minimum  of  ten  persons  must  indicate 
interest  in  a  particular  course  before 
it  will  be  scheduled.  It  is  expected 
that  rates  will  be  based  on  a  Hat 
charge  per  semester  hour. 

Reasons    For  Session 

Dr.  Gibson  listed  ihcsc  as  ihe  main 

reasons   for   the   summer   school    plan: 

(1)  In  view  of  the  present  national 
situation,  there  is  a  growing  reali/a- 
tion  that  students  should  be  allowed 
to  accelerate  their  course  of  study.  As 
a  result,  a  number  of  colleges  arc  in- 
stituting summer    programs   this   ^eau 

(2)  The  summer  course  will  give  high 
school  students  an  opportunity  to  com- 
plete at  least  one  year  of  toltcge  be- 
fore entering  the  service. 

The  summer  courses  will  not  be 
limited  to  Washington  College  stu- 
dents, but  will  be  open  to  anyone 
who  is  tjualified  for  college  work.  It 
is  expected  that  a  number  of  teachers 
will  study  here. 

Second  Time  In  History 
This  will  mark  the  second  time  in 
its  history  that  Washington  College 
has  offered  a  summer  session.  Similar 
programs  weie  operated  on  this 
campus  in  1942  and  11M3,  at  which 
time  approximately  one  hundred  and 
forty  students  Avert  in  attendance.

participant  of  the  last  fracas  say  any- 
thing but  d(;Fogator>  remarks  about 
the  memalil)  of  these  patriotic  youths. 
The  Air  Force  is  being  Bt>odcd  with 
enlistments  just  as  it  tvas  in  the  last 
war.  \s  in  this  previous  period  approx- 
imately rin.lKW  of  these  sons  of  Daeda- 
lus will  be  in  the  infantry  wiihoui 
e\er  seeing  the  top  of  a  cloud.  Whai 
seems  to  be  the  affinity  they  have  with 
regard  to  the  ground  forces,  I  fail  tt 
see  the  diflerence  as  to  where  one  get: 
shot;  except  he'll  hit  with  much  les« 
intensity  if  he's  on  the  ground  when 
il  occurs.  The  Navy,  they  argue,  feeds 
well  and  "has  clean  sheets."  On  the 
other  hand,  it  would  be  difficult  to 
run  any  distance  or  to  "dig  in".  Of 
course  there's  the  Marine  Corps  which 
is  one  step  lower  than  the  inner  circle 
of  Dante's  inferno.  U  seems  apparent 
that  it  is  merely  the  lesser  of  two  evils; 
finals  or  the  lenice.  and  in  the  ser- 
vice you  get  a  uniform.  They  tnay  very 
well  get  a  number  of  us  in  uniform 
nest  summer  but  with  the  fluauating 
poticy  of  the  present  regime  they 
draft  all  holders  of  the  I'uVple  Heart 
and  Congressional  Medal  before  they 
get  those  who  have  seen  no  service, 
Ccrtainl)  the  sersices  don't  seem  pre- 
judiced   against    either   group. 

The  whole  situation  seems  quite 
patadovical.  They  are  drafting  persons 
into  an  army  which  still  pays  income 
laves  (which  may  sotm  be  40%)  to 
light  an  enemy  which  our  governmeni 
refuses  to  recognize  as  being  in  exist- 
ence. Recent  eietiis  cause  us  m  at 
IcJii  (|ueslion  the  workings  of  the 
present  adminisintiion.  Our  ('resident 
having  j»etty  iquabblc*  with  insignifi- 
cant crilitv;  Senator  McCarthy  brawl- 
ing in  cloakrooms  and  screaming 
"C.immunist"  to  anyone  gullible 
enouifli  11.  listen  to  his  idiotic  raniings: 
and  the  (ccent  replacement  of  Lucas 
and  'I  \dings  with  the  uninformed 
Dirlsun  and  Builer  necessitate  a  build- 
ing up  of  tension  at  the  choice  of  out 
voting  public.  But  these  are  things 
thai  we  must  accept. 

To  atiume  the  escapist's  prtlicy  of 
"enlisting  l>efure  they  draft  me" 
synonomuus  to  me  with  "quitting 
school  in  case  I  fail."  To  excuse  your 
actions  with  the  ohslous  fact  that  the 
confused  state  of  affairs  is  too  much 
tension  for  an  aimrnphere  of  itudy  is 
at»oluiely  ridiculous.  It  isn't  difficult 
to  become  confused  and  it's  quite  easy 
to  say  that  everyone  else  is  confused 
and  tliat  we're  noi  at  all  sure  where 
we'ie  going.  But  there  are  very  often 


MACKEV    METC-A,LFE 

Wht>"s  that  red  head?  Does  she  ever 
sit  still?  Oh.  once  in  a  while  when 
she's  in  the  role  of  Secretary  of  the 
Senior  Class.  President  of  C.IW  or 
Secreiary  of  the  Canterbury  Club. 
What  did  you  say  her  name  was? 
Why  that's  Mackey  Metcalfe,  senior 
extraordinary! 

Mackey  is  a  native  of  Chesicriown 
but  got  her  education  ai  the  Hannah 
Moore  .Academy  just  outside  Balti- 
more. However,  come  college  time  and 
he  came  back  home  to  enier  Washing- 
ton College  in  the  fall  of  '47.  Since 
that  fall  she  has  become  ven  active 
college  activities,  especially  in  the 
sports  field.  She  can  be  seen  most  any 
day  in  the  fall  down  on  the  hockey 
field  or  pushing  in  baskeis  during 
the  basketball  season. 

Besides    sports.    Mackey    has    been 
a  verj'  active  member  of  .■\lpha  O; 
cron    Pi    Sorority    which    she    joined 
in  her  freshman  vcar,  and  is  now  S' 
ving   as   their  Rush   Chairman.   She 
also   a   delegate   to   the   Pan    Hellenic 
Council. 

This  year  we  find  Mackey  serving 
as  Feature  Editor  of  the  Elm.  presi- 
dent of  C.I.A.A..  secretary  of  the 
Senior  Class  and  ihe  Canierburv  Club. 
,\  busy  gal  to  say  the  least.  However, 
this  February  will  find  her  leaving 
all  her  activities  and  "Taking  otT'  for 
Hawaii's  crystal  beaches,  a  graduation 
present  from  her  father.  When  asked 
what  she  was  going  to  do  there  she 
replied,  "Pick  pineapples  and 
Wakikii  Beach  and  get  freckled,  I've 
been  practicing  every  summer  on  the 
art  of  how  to  loaf  in  the  sun. " 

Mackey  was  selecied  as  the  "Crescent 
Girl"  by  the  Lambda  Chi's  during 
Homecoming  festivities.  She  was  also 
a  member  of  the  court  of  the  Home- 
coming queen. 

She  would  like  to  be  a  second  grade 
teacher  when  she  graduates  this  June. 
Why?  She  says  because  second  graders 
are  still  scared  of  their  teachers?  That'- 
Mackey.

What's 

New? 


the  external  trappings  of  a  self  im- 
posed frustration.  They  are  phrases 
which  betray  in  internal  weakness — a 
searching  for  a  way  to  avoid  if  not 
evade  responsibility. 

It    is    wrong    to    over    simplify    the 
problem     at     hand.    Certainly    we    alt 
spend   a   great   deal   of   time  trying   to 
find  out  when   we'll   be  drafted  or  re- 
called.   If    we    could   only    reali7e    that 
in    this    ca.se    the    sooner    we    go    the 
longer  we'll  be  away.  Ii  is  an  old  say 
ing  and   a   sound    one,    that    once    the 
service  gets   its  hands  on   you    it  does 
like   to   let   go.   These   few   years 
of   a    person's   life   cause   a   com- 
plete change  in  hopes,  aspirations,  and 
entire  philosophy  of  life.  They  gii 
feeling     that    one     is     behind    and 
shoulcl   by-pass   school   or   some   other 
pha.se  of   life   to  catch    up.  And   these 
draft    age   studenu   think    they    feel   a 
pressure    NOW!    Well,    go    ahead,    fel- 
lows. The  more  that  enlist  the  sooner 
the  quota  will  be  filled  and  the  longer 
they'll    wait    to    recall    the    old    men. 
This    supreme    triumph    of    belonging 
lo  the  armed  forces  of  ihc  U.  S.  will 
indeed  please,  but   by  no  means  satis- 
fy, your  righteous  pride. 


"Oh.  yes,  you  are,"  he  declaies. 
You  haie  an  eight  o'clock  class  any- 
■ay."  .-^nd  so  saying,  he  pours  the 
glass  of  water  on  you.  This  makes 
you  a  little  angry  and  you  jump  out 
of  bed.  As  ihis  accomplishes  his  pur- 
pose, your  ttwmmaie  runs  out  in  the 
hall. 

Well,  since  you're  up,  you  might  as 
well  get  dressed.  In  a  few  minutes  you 
gel  sleepy  again,  though,  and  you 
stumble  back  into  the  bed.  Unfor- 
tunately, your  roommate  picks  this 
time  lo  return,  and  he  grimly  pulls 
you  out  of  the  room  and  out  into  the 
cold  morning  air. 

"It's  dark  yet,"  you  proiest.  "The 
stars  are  still  out.  Arc  you  sure  it's 
seven-fifteen?" 

He  doesn't  bother  to  answer  this, 
but  takes  you  into  the  Dining  Hall 
and  sits  you  ai  a  table.  You  fall 
asleep  oicr  your  cereal,  and  are 
auakcntxl  by — guess  who — yes.  your 
dear  old  roomie,  pulling  you  outside 
again.  Back  in  the  dorm,  he  stuffs 
your  books  in  your  arms  and  then 
sends  you   out  again. 

"I'm  never  goin'  to  sta)  out  to  three 
■'clock  again."  you  mutter  »as  you 
siagger  down   ihe  stairs. 

iping  your  way  to  you; 
period  class,  you  sit  down  and  doze 
some  more.  Then  the  professor  enters, 
briskly  slamming  down  his  books  on 
the  desk,  and  starts  passing  out  sheets 
of   yellow   paper. 

"Toda^  we  will  have  a  little  quiz." 
he  announces  blandlv.

Middle  Hall  was  turned  into  an

Fencing  showed  signs  of  becoming 
one  of  the  important  sports  on  the

The  third  cotillion  of  the  year  was

Smoky  Armory  Brings  Complaints 

There  have  been  several  complaints  recently  concerning  Wash- 
ington College's  home  basketball  court,  but  the  most  striking  wa: 
found  in  the  January  12  edition  of  the  Baltimore  Sun  and  was  writ- 
ten by  Bill  Higdon  —  "Visiting  teams  and  officials  are  complaining 
about  the  smoky  atmosphere  and  dim  lighting  system  in  the  Ches- 
tertown  Armory,  whi(*h  Washington  College  calls  it's  home  floor 
for  lack  of  any  other,  The  Armory  just  isn't  constructed  for 
basketball." 

As  a  result  of  such  criticism  and  of  unsportsmanlike  conduct 
sliown  at  a  recent  Saturday  night  game,  Coach  Athey  appeals  to 
die  student  body  to  cooperate  in  two  matters.  First,  that  smoking 
be  discontinued  in  the  armory;  second,  that  students  please  refrain 
from  distracting  the  opposing  team  when  they  take  their  foul  shots, 
Remember  the  saying:  If  you  can't  play  a  sport,  be  one  anyway. 

Short  Shots 

Congratulations  to  Filmore,  Jim,  Kenny  and  Frank  for  the 
fine  job  they  did  at  the  Evening  Star  Track  Meet  in  Washington, 
They  didn't  cop  the  championship  (missed  it  by  .4  of  a  second)  but 
were  a  constant  threat  to  the  finish  .... 

The  Fraternity  Bowling' League  was  initiated  at  the  local  center 
last  night  with  Theta  Chi  trading  strikes  with  an  independent  team 
while  the  Nu's  tangled  horns  with  the  Lambda's.  The  league,  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Varsity  Club,  seeks  to  improve  intra-school 
competition.  Any  organization  wishing  to  form  a  team  can  obtain 
information  from  either  Lee  Cook  or  Jack  Nacrelli  .... 

Coach    Apicheila    announced    this   week    that  he  was   retirmg 
"ipso  facto"   from    active  sports  competition.   "I've  had  enough

Harry  Milter  and  "Big"  Don  Nutzel

fic floor  game  and  contributed  six  goals

balf  23-15  but  in  the  second. half  they 
were  oS  in  their  shooting  and  the 
AU-Stan   came   from    behind    to   win. 


Intramural 
Basketball 

By   Ben   Krotec 


On  Friday,  January  12,  mid-season 
was  reached  in  fniratnural  basketball. 
A  very  efficient  schedule  has  been  set 
up  by  coach  Apicheila  with  games 
being  played  in  the  afternoon  and 
evening.  There  are  ten  teams  in  the 
league  which  is  made  up  of  school 
clubs,  fraternities,  and  dormitories. 
Leading  The  League 

Theta  Chi  holds  fust  place  in  the 
league  with  seven  straight  wins  against 
no  defeats.  The  Oxinen  are  the  only 
tundcfeaicd  squad  in  the  league  and 
are  giving  a  good  exhibition  of  team- 
work and  individual  talent.  John  Cox 
holds  the  high  scoring  record  in  the 
League  with  a  total  of  89  points  for 
seven  games,  for  an  average  of  12.7 
per  game.  Cox  also  leads  the  League 
in  points  scored  in  a  single  game,  25. 
The  Thela  Chi's  established  a  new 
record  for  points  scored  in  one  game 
by  defeating  Somerset  75  to  30  Tues- 
day night. 

Tie   For  Second  Place 

The  Newman  Club  and  the  K.A.'s 
are  tied  for  second  place,  hot  hi 
having  won  six  and  lost  one.  The 
K.A.'s  handed  the  Newman  Club 
their  only  defeat  while  dropping  iheir 
only  game  to  Theta  Chi  Courtmcn. 
The  second  half  of  the  season  shall 
prove  to  be  an  exciting  race  for  the 
championship  and  any  of  the  first 
four  teams  stand  a  chance  of  emerging 
he  lop  position. 


Relay  Team 
Places  Third 


Four-ienths  of  a  second  may  not 
seem  important  to  you  or  I.  but  it 
would  have  spelled  victory  for  Wash- 
ington's thinclads  last  Saturday  nighi 
in  the  nation's  capital  city. 

The  Mason-Dixon  medley  mile 
relay,  run  by  seven  conference  teams. 
was  won  by  Hampden-Sydney  in 
lime  of  three  minutes  and  fifty 
seconds.  Second  was  Catholic  tJnivcr- 
sity,  with  the  Ntaroon  and  Black  gain- 
ing third  position.  Following  the 
Sho'men  were  Bridgewatcr,  Roanoke, 
Callaudct  and  Towson  Teachers. 
Catholic   U.   Second 

I  he  race  was  run  in  two  heats, 
tile  best  time  determining  the  winner 
of  the  event.  Hampden-Sydney  ran 
it's  3:50.0  mile,  to  win  the 
first  heat.  With  Jim  T  willy  riui 
ning  the  first  quarter  of  a  mile, 
Kenney  Howard  and  Frank  Byham 
sprinting  the  two  220  yard  legs,  and 
Fil  Dryden  finishing  the  medley  ' 
a  half  mile  run,  the  Shore  squad 
edged  out  by  Catholic  University  by 
two  tenths  of  a  second  in  a  thrilling 
finish.  The  Cardinal's  time  of  3:50.1 
was  just  short  of  tying  Hampden- 
Sydney's  winning  time  in  the  first 
heat. 

Therefore,   only    three    tenths    of   a 

second  sepaned  the  first  three  teams: 

Hampden-Sydney    —    3.50.0 

Catholic  Un.  —  3.50.1 

Washington   —   3.50.3 

Journey  To  Baltimore 

On  February  6.^  the  trackmen  will 
once  again  take  to  the  boards,  this 
lime  at  the  Souih  .Atlantic  Association 
indoor  meet  to  be  held  in  Baltimore. 
There  will  be  no  Mason-Dixon  mile 
relay  that  night  however,  the  Sho'men 
plan  to  enter  the  two  mile  open  relay, 
in  which  the  competition  promises  .to 
be  plentiful.

Washington  College,  down  in  Ches- 
tertown, Md.,  had  its  best  football 
record  in  16  years  during  the  1950 
season,  five  wins  and  three  los.ses,  and 
gridmen  from  right  here  in  Delaware 
County  played  minor  roles  in  the 
success    of    the   Sho'Mcn. 

First  of  all  there  was  Domenic 
"Dim "  Montero,  the  head  coach.  Dim 
came  from  Wilmington,  played  a  year 
of  football  at  PMC  before  finishing  at 
La  Salle,  then  coached  the  line  at  St. 
James  for  several  years  before  accept- 
ing the  job  as  Washington's  head 
coach  two  years  ago. 

Dim  took  over  in  1949  and  won 
four  games,  lost  two,  and  tied  two. 
The  liny  Eastern  Shore  college  did 
even  better  this  year  with  its  5-3 
mark,  giving  Montero  a  two-year 
record  of  nine  wins,  five  setbacks,  and 
two  deadlocks. 

This  fall  there  were  seven  Delco 
athletes  on  Montero's  squad.  Four  of 
thcni — Harry  Miller,  Jack  Nacrelli, 
Sammy  Creto,  and  Bernie  O'Connell 
—  are  products  of  St.  James.  Kenny 
Howard  played  at  Eddystonc,  localitc 
I'aul  Desmond  prcpped  at  nearby 
-Archmore  Academy,  and  Ed  Cinaglia 
performed  in  high  school  under  Char- 
lie Tomasco  at  Clifton  Heights. 

Miller  played  halfback  and  led  the 
team  in  almost  every  dcpanmeni 
offense.  He  gained  682  yards  rushing 
the  ball,  averaging  7.9  yards  per  carry 
He  scored  13  touchdowns,  half  the 
team's  total,  caught  27  passes  for  53! 
yards,  and  averaged  a  fraction  over  •!( 
yards  in  punting. 

Howard  and  Greto  were  second  and 
third  respectively  in  rushing  offense 
and  played  in  the  defensive  backhcid 
as  well.  Nacrelli  was  a  standout  at 
guard,  both  on  offense  and  defense. 
He  was  awarded  a  trophy  as  the  team's 
outstanding  lineman  and  has  been 
named   co-captain   for   next    season. 

Cinaglia  was  a  defensive  halfback 
and  was  largely  responsible  for  the 
Nfaroon  and  Black's  fine  pass  defense 
record.  Eight  opponents  averaged  only 
56  yards  per  game  through  the  air. 
The  Montero  eleven,  on  the  other 
hand,  gained  1013  yards  via  forward 
passes. 

Desmond  and  O'Connell  alternated 
It  center  on  the  offense  with  both 
backing  up  the  line  on  defense.  Des- 
mond  and  Howard  were  both  hurt  in 
the  Drexel  game,  one  of  the  three 
setbacks,  and  both  missed  the  last 
three  games  on   the  schedule. 

hington.  incidentally.  didn't 
pack  as  much  weight  as  many  good 
high  school  teams.  The  line  averaged 
only  172  pounds  and  the  backfield 
about     165.    Only    two    of    the    squad 

ibers  will  be  lost  by  grad 
and  Montero  is  looking  forward  to 
another  fine  campaign  next  year  pro- 
viding t'ncle  Sam  doesn't  send  "greet- 
ings" to  too  many  of  the  holdovers. 

.Another  Delco  high  school  graduate 
at  Washington  is  Steve  McHalc,  a  St. 
James  graduate  of  1946.  Steve  didn't 
take  part  in  the  grid  campaign  but 
did  provide  us  with  most  of  the  infor- 
mation on  the  county  boys  at  his 
school.  Many  thanks,  Steve. 


Topple  Towson 
For  2nd  Straight 

V\iih  Nick  Scallion  breaking  loose 
Saturday  night  with  30  points,  the 
local  cagers  knocked  off  Towson 
Teachers  College,  60  to  -15,  at  Ches- 
tertown. 

The  sleek  lefthander  easily  carried 
off  scoring  honors,  bucketing  15  points 
in  each  half.  He  made  good  10  of  12 
free  throws  and  dumped  in  an  addi- 
tional 10  scrimmage  shots.  Bill  Brogan 
contributed  11  additional  counters, 
followed  closely  by  Dan  Samele  with 
10. 

Hottes  and  Schaub  each  contributed 
11  futile  markers  for  the  Teachers. 

Leading  by  a  slim  31  to  25  margin 
at  half  lime,  the  Sho'men  roared 
back  in  the  second  half,  ripping  the 
Toivson  zone  to  shrtxls.  From  there 
on,  the  outcome  was  never  in  question 
as  the  .Atheymen  led  all  the  way  to 
the  whistle. 

Washingion  College  succumbed  be- 
fore the  A.  U.  basketball  team,  69-62. 
in  a  Mason-Dixon  Conference  game 
last  Monday  night  on  the  loser's  hard- 

Although  he  fouled  out  in  the 
fourth  quarter,  Nick  Scallion  coped 
scoring  honors  tor  the  night  with  22 
points.  Close  on  his  heels  was  A. U.'s 
Leroy    Ishman    with    20    points. 

The  local  lads  got  off  lo  a  slow 
start,  being  held  to  four  poini.s  in 
eight  minutes,  while  -A.  U.  was  dump- 
ing 12  markers  through  the  hoop.  Scal- 
lion rallied  to  bring  the  quarter  score 
to  14-13,  with  A,  U.  on  the  long  end. 

In  the  second  frame  W,  C.  switched 
to  a  zone  defense,  and  temporarily  took 
the  lead.  17-13.  There  arose  a  set  shot 
contest  between  the  Capitols  Ed  Mof- 
fatt  and  Danny  Samele  after  each  had 
made  four  baskets  in  as  many  tries 
in  this  period.  Sanielee  emerged  on  top 
for   the   night;    13-7. 

The  second  half  opened  with  the 
Sho'men  trailing  35-32,  but  with  three 
quick  baskets  by  Scallion  and  one  by 
Butch  HcHugh,  they  moved  ahead 
40-35.  The  lead  changed  hands  three 
times  with  the  period  ending  50-49  in 
favor  of  the  Maroon  and  Black. 

.  the  final  stanza  opened,  .A.  U. 
lied  the  game  with  a  foul  shot,  and 
then  went  ahead  53-52.  .After  the  lead 
changed  hands  three  more  times,  .A.  U. 
gained  a  6.')<58  lead  as  Scallion  fouled 
out.  .^,  V.  then  increased  their  lead  to 
69-62  as  ihe  game  ended.

J.V.'s  WIN  AGAIN 

Washington  Colleges  Junior  Varsity 
basketball  team  pushed  82  points 
through  the  hoops  against  Towson 
JayVees  in  the  second  half  and  turned 

hat  seemed  to  be  a  close  game  into  a 
rout.  The  final  tallies  showed  the 
locals  winning  49-27. 

After  a  slow  first  half  which  ended 

'■15  Washingion,  Johnson's  JayVees 
started  hitting  from  all  over  and  by 
he  fourth  quarter  were  leading  36-23. 
Connie  Landucci  and  "Blonde"  Bob 
.Appleby  were  the  top  scorers  for  the 
home  t>oys  having  10  points  each.  Rod 
Ware  chipped  in  with  6  and  Ells- 
worth Boyd  dunked  5.  The  entiie 
squad  shared  the  scoring  with  one 
point  or  more. 

For  the  losing  Towson  JayVees, 
Jedlicka  was  by  far  the  best,  having 
II  points  and  also  playing  a  bang-up 
floor  game  for  his  team,  Leigman  and 
Colbum  contributed  in  scoring  with 
3  and  4  points  respectively.

THE  WASHINGTON   ELM 


FRIDAY,  JAN.  19,  1951 


Dr.  Foosc  Address 

Society  Of  Sciences 

Dr.  Richard  M.  Foosc.  head  of  ihc 
dcpavimciu  of  Geolog>'  ai  Franklin 
and  MaRhall  College,  appeared  re- 
cenily  as  guest  speaker  for  ihc  Society 


of  Sciences  to  present 


.  ihc  stndenti 


the  \aried  work  of  a  geologist. 

In  his  talk  entitled  "The  Geologist 
at  Work"  he  developed  through  a 
scries  of  examples  the  many  fields  in 
which  gttilogy  plays  a  part.  Refcning 
to  the  search  for  natural  re5ouix:cs  in 
the  United  State*,  he  explained  how 
a  geologist  works  in  plotting  out  loca- 
tions for  oil  wells,  metallic  deposits, 
and  clay  formations.  He  brought  oni 
the  fact  thai  .f  geologist  must  emploi 
just  as  much  imagination  as  technical 
skill  in  his  work. 

In  construction  work  Dr.  Foose  said 
thai  the  Rcologist  is  becoming  in- 
creasingly important  in  helping  to  pre- 
vent  mishaps  due  to  constructions  in 
faoulty  land  area.  During  the  last  war, 
the  geologist  aided  the  army  by  com- 
piling all  information  about  a  ter- 
rain before  an  invasion  was  singed. 
Dr.  Foose  used  Sicily  as  his  example 
of  this  type  of  intensive  geological 
ivork. 

As  a  conchision  to  his  lecture,  he 
presented  a  scries  of  color  slides  of 
mountains,  canyons,  glaciers,  and 
vi)lcanocs  which  he  has  taken  in  con- 
nection with  his  studies. 

A  graduate  of  Franklin  and  Mar- 
shall.  Dr.  Foss  received  his  M.S,  at 
Northwesicm  rniver^iiy  and  his  PhD. 
at  Johns  Hopkins  University.  After 
presenting  a  talk  lo  the  board  of  the 
college,  he  was  invited  lo  fom^  and 
head  a  gcolog\  department  ^ai  Fi 
lin  and  Marshall  College.  In  addition 
to  this  position  he  is  also  chief 
geologist  for  the  state  ol  Pcnnsvhania

conservation    mcasu 
Waters  Hall  and  West  Hall  have  been 
cloiicd  for  the  second  semester. 

A  study  was  made  by  thevdniin- 
istration  which  revealed  that  class- 
rooms were  not  being  fully  uiili/etl 
in  all  the  buildings.  Under  the  second 
semester  schedule,  all  classes  have  been 
moved  from  Waters  Hall  to  William 
Smith,  and  the  faculty  offices  have 
been  transferred  to  the  library  or  to 
Ferguson  Hall.  H  was  also  decided 
that  this  would  be  an  economy  mea 
sure  to  eliminate  the  necessity  i>\ 
having  to  light  and  heat  the  build- 
ing. In  addition.  Waters  Hall  will  now 
be  available  for  meetings  at  any  houi 
of  the  day. 

On  a  similar  basis.  West  Hall  has 
liecn  closed  as  a  boys'  dormitory.  The 
former  residents  have  been  moved  to 
one  of  the  four  other  dormitories  lo 
fill    these    buildings. 

Waters  Hall  is  one  of  two  frame 
buildings  purchased  from  a  closed 
\imv  Air  Base  and  remodeled  in  1947 
for  faculty  offices  and  classrooms.  West 
Hall  was  erected  in  18,i4  as  part  ot 
the  expansion  of  the  college  seventeen 
yeare  after  the  original  college  build- 
ings were  burned  by  fire.

353  Enroll 

The  Registrar's  office  reports  that 
a  total  of  3.i3  students  arc  enrolled  , 
in  the  college  for  the  sectmd  semester.  | 
At  the  beginning  of  the  year,  413  1 
students  constituted  ibV  total  nuui-  I 
bcv.  In  Febrnan.  SI  \iiidents  dropped  , 
out,  including  (he  February  graduates.  I 
and  21  new  inembers  entered  (o  make 
up  the  picseai  number  of  sdidenis. 


lor  ihe  second  time  in  recent  yeaj«, 
f.iiiiball  will  make  itself  conspirnous 
liv  its  absence  from  the  aihledc  priv 
i^iam  ol  Washington  College,  {^.aih 
I'd  .Aihey,  Director  of  Physical  Train- 
ing, announced  that  baseball  as  well 
as  football  have  been  "indefinitely 
dropped." 

1-ooiball  wa^  aUo  dropped  lor  j 
period  of  tour  years  during  Woild 
War  II.  The  suggcsliun  (o  drop  Ilie 
two  spoils  was  made  by  ihe  .Athleiit 
Council  (o  (he  Board  of  Visitors  and 
Ciovcrnoi's,  which  approved  the  mea- 
siuc.  The  Athletic  Council  is  composed 
of  Mr.  Harry  Russell,  alumno<  of 
Washington  College.  Chairman;  Deiin 
Frederick  G.  Livingood.  Mr.  Fred 
Dumschoii,  Dr.  Joseph  McLain,  and 
Aihey. 

Aihey  cited  as  two  main  reasons 
for  the  cunailmcnt  of  both  sports  the 
anticipated  drop  in  enrollment  be- 
cause of  the  war  situation,  and  econiv 
iiiic  reasons.  He  stated  (ha(  the  foot- 
ball team  lakes  up  at  least  one  half 
of  the  entire  athletic  budget.  Suite 
the  college  is  anticipating  a  drop  in 
enrollment,  the  amount  of  mon^  to 
be  alloKcd  for  the  mainiainance  of  a 
successful  sports  program  was  expected 
(o  be  considerably  lower. 

Dim  Montero,  football  coach  lor  (he 
past  two  years,  will  continue  (O  serve 
on  the  Faculty  in  his  capacity  3i  physi- 
cal education  instructor.  'I  regret  very 
much  that  football  h,Ts  to  be  dropped, 
as  we  seem  to  have  been  making  some 
head-way,  but  under  ihe  present  dr- 
cumsianccs,  the  .Athletic  Council  could 
not  forsce  other  possible  action."  he 
commenicil. 

Continuing,  he  stated.  "(  cspedaliy 
regret  having  to  leave  the  boys  on  the 
team.  The  two  years  ihat  1  haie 
worked  with  ihcm  weic  two  of  tuy 
happiest  years  of  coaching.  I  could 
not  have  asked  lor  bftter  cunsideia- 
tion   from    anyone." 

Washington  enjoyed  two  highly  suc- 
cessful football  seasons  under  Mon- 
teio's  reign.  In  the  two  years  that 
Montero  has  served  a^^  coach,  the  team, 
consisting  mainly  of  freshmen  :md 
sophomores,  won  eight,  hwi  fi^e,  and 
tied  two. 

Washington  College  is  the  second 
team  in  the  state  lo  drop  football  from 
its  athletic  program.  Mount  St.  Marv's 
was  the  first.  Two  other  teams  in  the 
Mason-Dixon  Conference,  Hainpden- 
Sydncy  and  Catholic  L'nixersity,  are 
also  contemplating  a  similar  move. 

Aihcy  stated  that  baseball  was  also 
dropped  because  of  economic  reasons. 
The  main  spring  sport  will  now"  be 
lacrosse,  which  is  becoming  increa- 
singly   popular  at    Washington.

The  Lean  Years 

Washingluii  College,  frum  all  indi- 
cations, is  fast  ujjpixiaclung  a  period 
of  ausicrily.  The  college  this  week 
tool,  in  another  notch  in  iu  belt  with 
the  dropping  of  two  in:5Jiir  sports. 
Economic  considerations  iverc  uSered 
as  the  principal  reasons  tor  thi^  ralhei 

Reccni  events  point  out  rallier 
vividly  thai  for  the  immediate  future, 
at  least,  the  colleges  and  universities 
of  this  counir),  and  particularly  the 
small  independent  insiituuons.  are  in 
(or  a  fairly  rough  period.  For  many, 
in  fact,  it  will  be  a  struggle  for  sur- 
vival 

The  reasons  arc  obvious.  Many  pros- 
pective siudenLs  will  be  in  pine  bar- 
racLs,  not  in  hy  coiered  u-alls.  Second- 
ly, the  low  birth  rate  during  and 
immediaiel)  following  the  depression 
of  the  eari>  I«30's  has  considerably 
towered  ihe  reserve  supply  of  siudenl 
material.  .And^  finally,  the  high  cost  of 
living  and  hean  ta.xes  l^ave  would-be 
donori  financialh  strapped.  1  hc>  hey 
day  of  philanthroph)  is  past,  and  the 
independent  college  will  be  among 
Ihe  Hrst    li>  feel   the  loss. 

Washington  College  is  a  ca.se  in 
point.  .\  news  stor)  on  page  one  give*' 
the  unhappy  details.  Sevenleen  form- 
er wudenls  haie  left  for  militan  duty. 
The  number  in  service,  nr  expecting 
to  go,  and  thus  did  not  enroll,  is 
anthod>')  Ruesi.  That  more  will  leave 
is  a  certainty.  413  student  were  en- 
rolled here  lasi  vemesier;  358  are  now 
in   classes,  a   drop  of  almost    l'></c. 

Recently,  in  an  informal  uLL  to  the 
Senior  Clai*.  Dr.  Cib.suu  oiiilined  an 
ambiiiou-s,  highly  creditable,  and  sorely 
needed  building  program.  Dormitories 
were  the  first  consideration.  That  such 
a  plan  is  desirable  Ls  indisputable:  thai 
it  tan  be  accomplished  is,  unfortunate- 
ly, questionable.  'Hope  spring*  eternal 
from    the    human    breast" 

Mf^^l  colleges  are  looking  optimu- 
tically.  however,  ai  a  noi-tob-distani 
future  influx  of  >tudcnts.  \  period  of 
prfMperity  is  confidenily  predicted  for 
the  later  l^jO',  when  returning  vete- 
ran.*, a,  well  a,  the  products  of  the 
higher  birthrate  of  a  decade  ago,  will 
agarn  fl«Ml  the  campuses.  Perhaps 
monci  will  again  l)e  flowing  at  ihai 
lime.  There  i.,  then,  only  the  problem 
of  hanging  on  until  t>ctier  djy»  arrive.

GENUINE    DILEMMA    .    ,    . 


I  he  Beacon,  student  newspaper  of 
Rhode  Island  Slate  College,  was  just 
slightly   confused. 

"Getting  out  a  newspaper  is  no 
picnic,"  it  declared.  "If  we  print  jokes, 
students  say  wc  are  silly;  it  we  don't 
they  say  we  are  too  serious.  U 
publish  original  matter,  they  .say 
lack  sariciy;  if  wc  publish  things  from 
other  magazines,  ihey  say  yve  arc  loo 
ta/y  to  yvrile  our  own.  If  we  stay 
the  office,  wc  ought  lo  be  out  rustling 
laicrial;  if  we're  out  rnsiling  material, 
c  are  not  attending  to  business  in 
the  office.  U  wc  wear  old  clothes,  wc 
are  insolvent  college  students;  if  yve 
car  new  ones,  ive  got  Ihe  money 
from  graft.  What  the  hell  are  we

Allhough  Russell  Lyncs  was  ama-

describing  the  various  types  of  snobs, 
the  Daily  .Athenaeum,  student  ncw.s-

fell  some  campus  snobs  might  be  add- 
ed to  the  list.  Here  are  a  few  of  the 
.Athenaeum's  candidates: 

"The  Scholarly  Snob.  He  regards  all 
students  who  spend  any  lime  on  pur- 
suits other  than  study  as  immature. 
This  type  is  easily  recogniied  by  the 
frequency  with  svhich  he  can  be  heard 
lo  mutter,  "What  do  ihey  come  lo 
college  for,  anyway?" 

■The  Socially  Active  Snob,  who  re- 
gards anyone  ysho  finds  it  necessary  to 
spend  an  occasional  evening  in  his 
room  as  a  barbarian". 

"The  Grades-Don'i-Mean-Any  thing- 
Snob.  This  is  the  largest  sub-division 
n  the  Campus  Snob  classification,  it 
seems,  and  is  composed  of  those  who 
udy  yvhen  they  have  absolutely  noih- 
ig  else  to  do.  Somehow  the  majority 
[  ihem  make  passing  grades.  .Ai  the 
end  of  each  semester  ihey  can  be 
heard  to  remark  philosopbicallv,  'Oh

'■.-\noihcr  defect  which  I  note,  is  an 
intermission  m  neglect,  in  those  which 
arc  governors  iu  universities  ...  or  ol 
superior  persons  of  visitation;  to  enter 
into  account  and  consideration,  y/heth- 
er  the  readings,  exercises  and  oiher 
customs  appertaining  unto  learning, 
anciently  began  and  since  continued 
be  yvell  insiitutcd  or  no;  and  there- 
upon lo  ground  an  amendment  «'■ 
reformation  in  thai  which  shall  be 
found  inconvenient." 

In  accordance  with  this  siatcment  I 
have  wondered  at  the  cause  of  this 
institution  having  found,  in  the  past 
three  years,  a  need  to  lower  the  re- 
quirements to  stay  at  AV.C,  from  H-l 
.40  to  .000.  Recciilly  1  came  upon 
one  of  the  causes.  .\i  one  of  the  better 
Junior  High  Schools  on  the  outskirts 
Baltimore  there  is  a  group  of 
ilents  whom  ihc  elemenlary  teach- 
ci-s  have  seen  fit  lo  advance  to  the 
lib  (7th)  grade.  These  students 
considered  the  second  best  class 
in  the  school.  In  an  aitempi  to  accen- 
tuate my  tepid  acccrbitics  on  Ihe 
matter  of  education  a  friend  fyvho  is 
a  icacher)  reviewed  for  me — in  detail — 
the  failings  of  each  of  these  pupils. 
7en  or  more  h)si  points  for  cheating 
points.  I  believe.  None  of  them 
could  spell  words  over  four  letters  and 
he  majority  couldn't  spell  the  four- 
letter  ones.  Such  words  appeared  as 
'seicrs",  "spighis",  "pnnre",  "boyll". 
'ne<ldis",  "torn"  (not  a  name),  and 
reets".  One  child  spelled  "January" 
differently  on  four  separate  pages.  The 
same  person  spelled  his/her  name 
hree  different  ways  and  as  yet  has  not 
accomplished  his/her  aim.  Why  have 
they  been  advanced  this  far.  If  a 
teacher  fails  a  student,  the  icacher 
must  face  a  board  of  inquiry  and  is 
blamed    wilh    the  child's    failure. 

With  this  decline  in  scholarship  on 
he  clemcniary  and  collegiate  levels — 
be  one  building  toward  the  other — 
>ur  scholastic  standards  will  soon  be 
tcgalive.  Surely  applied  effort  will 
(ring  the  indices  of  the  present  enroll- 
neni  up.  How.  however,  arc  wc  lo 
reconcile  ourselves  to  ihe  future 
enti-ants?  If  our  scholastic  standards 
are  decreasing  ai  so  momenious  a  rale 
n  heaven's  name  will  theirs  l)c? 
Perhaps  ihe  board  of  Visiiois  and 
Governors  should  draw  a  line  as  to  ihe 
e  of  entrants  to  be  admitted.  Wc

Attention  Called  To 

Absence  Regulations 


-Absence      regulations     are     clearly   over-cuts.  Fines 
explained  on  pages  08   to   101   in   the 
handbook.   Studenis  should   rca<l   care- 
fully. Ignorance  of  the  regulations  can 
not  be  accepted  as  an  excuse. 

"However,     should     a     student 

voluntarily  absent  himself  from 

class  at   anytime,   then  all    sub- 
sequent   absences    are    counted 

as  "cuts '  regardless  of  whether 

they    have    been    due   to    illness 

or    other    emergency,    and    the 

ii.sual     fine     for     absences     will

siudeiK's  return  to  classes,  or

Should  any  student  by  reason  ol 
absence  miss  more  than  fifteen  per- 
ol  the  work  of  the  course,  ciibei 
.  recitations  or  laboratory,  he  will 
be  dropped  from  the  course  yvith  a 
grade  of  '  F".  The  eighth  rut  in  a 
three  bout  course  or  the  filth  cut  in 
a  two  hour  course  will  result  in  an  F 
grade  for  a  course.

Absences  are  taken  from  the  .firsi

Each  student  should  keep  a  careful 
record  of  absences  in  every  course.  If 
in  doubt  about  utaius  of  absences, 
consult  the  instructor.  This  informa- 
tion is  not  available  in  the  Registrar's 


As  in  previous  semesters,  each 
siudcni  must  pay  all  absence  fines 
prior  to  the  examination  perioil.  A 
special  examination  resulting  from 
failure  to  meet  obligations  will  mean 
the  regular  fee  for  special  final  exami- 
nations. Students  exceeding  15%  will 
be  liable  for  over-cuts  including  fifteen 
percent  of  class

prestige  would  be  dilficult  i 
possible  to  ovcrcoroe  under  the  present 
conditions  of  selective  service.  If  it  ij 
at  all  possible  standards  should  be 
maintained.  Along  wiih  ibis,  a  voci- 
ferous attitude  should  be  taken  by  our 
.Administrators  in  regard  lo  ihe  pre- 
sent elementary  teaching  system.  A 
point  is  fast  approaching  by  which 
standards  must  be  lowered  to  keep  the 
smaller  insituiions  on  a  sound  fmancial 
basis.  On  the  other  hand,  when  the 
present  crisis  is  relaxed  we  will  lose 
out  in  the  long  run  being  caught  with 
our  standards  down.  Obviously  we 
must  tighten  our  belt  a  few  notches 
and  maintain  our  scholastic  name. 
Incapable  students  must  not  be 
brought  in  strictly  for  financial  rea- 
sons, a  measure  to  which  instJluiioni 
are  now  being  forced  to  resort. 

I  he  situation  is  esscniially  this:  Do 
we  want  our  institution  based  on  a 
stable  financial  system  with  below 
average  students  for  the  present  or  is  il 
possible  to  exist  thiough  the  critical 
period  at  hand,  running  at  a  dcficil 
and  maintain  a  superior  scholastic 
system?

SCALUOX  IN  ACTION 


DIM  AND  APPIE  TO  REMAIN? 

The  questions  most  frequently  asked  on  the  hill  since  the 
abandonment  of  football  and  baseball  have  been  in  regard  to 
,    the  future  status  of  coaches  Apichello  and  Montero. 

As  yet  there  has  been  no  official  statement  adequate  to 
answer  such  questions,  but  many  guess  that  Apichella  will 
remain  on  the  staft  next  year  and  will  continue  in  his  physical 
education  classes  as  usual.  The  time  he  devoted  to  baseball 
in  the  spring  will  be  spent  directing  intramurals. 

No  definitr  statement  was  made  regarding  Dim's  future 
but  the  present  situation  has  no  direct  bearing  on  his  status 
as  instructor.  Dr.  Gibson  explained  that  the  football  coach  is 
hired  as  an  instructor  and  receives  additional  compensation  for 
coaching. 

Of  course  the  general  opinion  is  that  Montero  will  seek 
another  coaching  job  next  fall.  Although  it  may  be  possible 
for  him  to  remain  here  as  a  professor  his  love  for  the  game 
is  probably  too  strong  to  keep  him  in  the  classroom.  From 
the  moment  he  arrived  on  campus  in  1949  his  small  squad  of 
23  players  won  four.  lost  two,  and  tied  two.  Last  season  his 
gridders  scored  five  victories  in  eight  starts. 

Short  Shots 

Looks  as  if  lacrosse  and  tennis  will  get  a  load  of  attentior, 
this  spring  since  baseball  has  been  thrown  out.  Plans  are  under 
way  to  have  the  tennis  courts  surfaced  before  the'  sunshine 
invites  the  nelmen  to  practice.  Maybe  lacrosse  uiii  be  moved 
up  on  the  former  gridiron  ...  at  least  seats  for  the  spectators 
are  provided  there. 

A  bit  of  good  news  to  rival  teams  .  .  .  George  Dempsey. 
King  College's  basketball  ace  withdrew  from  school  to  enlist 
m  the  Coast  Guard.  Xast  season  he  was  fourth  high  point- 
getter  in  collegiate  ranks  with  704  over  a  25  game  stretch 
His  28.2  average  was  second  only  to  George  King  of  Morris- 
Harvey.  This  season  he  racked  up  287  points  in  12  games. 


W.C.  Stickmen  Tackle 

Tough  Schedule  For  '51 


Now  ihat  baseball  has  left  ilie  col- 
lege a  great  deal  of  responsibiliiy  has 
been  thrown  on  the  shoulders  of  Dr. 
Clark  and  the  Lacrosse  team.  Wash- 
ington athletic  prowess  this  spring 
will  be  confined  to  track,  tennis,  and 
lacrosse.  This  hoiveicr,  ivill  not  neces- 
sarily restrict  the  colleges  notoriety, 
Lacrosse  at  Washington  College  always 
hai  received  a  good  deal  of  publicity 
from  the  papers  in  the  Baltimore  area 
There  is  every  reason  to  believe  thai 
this  will  continue.  The  Lacrossemen 
this  year- will  undertake  their  toiighi 
schedule  since  its  post-war  return  to 
ihe  local  scene.  Traveling  as  far  ni 
M  Hofstra  and  .Adelphi  on  Long 
Island  and  iNorih  Carolina  and  Dnke 
in  North  Carolina,  the  team  will  un- 
dertake a  13  game  schedule.  .Also  in- 
cluded among  the  move  noted  oppo-

and  last  but  not  least,  Mount  Wash-

regret  deeply  to  sec  football 
«>me  to  an  end  at  W.C,  Under  the 
leadership  of  Coach  "Dim"'  Montero, 
football  at  W.C.  after  a  period  of 
lo  twelve  years  was  definitely  on  the 
upgrade.  It  was  indeed  an  honor  to  be 
chosen  co-captains  for  the  coming  sea- 
son. We  arc  sorry  that  the  school  will 
noi  be  able  to  held  a  team  and  we 
sincerely  hope  that  W.C.  will  have 
football  as  one  of  its  major  sports  in 
Uie  very  near  future.  Good  luck  to

Johns  Hopkins  handed  the  Maroon 
and  Black  its  second  loss  of  the  season 
77-6G  as  Nick  Scallion  and  Dan  Samcle 
scored  all  but  twelve  of  the  home 
team's  6G  points.  Nick,  hitting  from 
all  spots,  garnered  34  aa  Djpny  drop- 
ped in  20. 

As  usual,  &'V  Stan  Berkman  of  the 
Blue  Jays  controlled  both  boards  and 
led  his  team  by  scoring  25  points. 
constant  threat  the  entire  evening 
was  Simeon  Margolis  who  netted  20 
markei^s  and  continuously  sLole  the 
ball. 

lu  the  first  fonr  minities  of  the 
initial  quarter  Scallion  hit  for  8  points 
as  his  squad  jumped  to  a  12-8  lead. 
Hopkins  lied  the  score  and  the  lead 
changed  hands  twice  as  W.C.  stood 
atop    a    20-19    hrst    period    score. 

Switching  to  a  lone  defense  in 
second  quarter  the  visitors  led  by  small 
Bob  Lilicn,  knotted  the  count  and 
forged  ahead  2G-20.  The  Sho  quint 
went  into  a  man  to  man  defense  after 
starting  the  contest  with  a  2-1-2  lone. 
Nevertheless,  as  the  buzzer  sounded 
at  halftimc,  the  Jays  commanded  the 
lead.  39-28. 

The  third  quarter  ended  55-14,  the 
locals  still  trailing  by  II  points.  Scat- 
shots  were  matched  by  the  com- 
bination of  Berkman  and  Margolis  as 
he  former  ted  and  shot  from  his 
pivot   position. 

Although  Berkman  tallied  three  field 
goals  in  the  first  minute  of  the  final 
period,  Samele  followed  with  four 
baskets  and  Nick  with  one  as  the  lead 
dwindled  to  7  points,  61-54.  The  Blue 
and  White  then  quickened  the 
using  their  fast-moving  guards  to  break 
up  the  Sho  defense  which  was  aliei 
uating  a  zone  and  man  to  man  all 
evening.  Their  lead  at  one  lime  ad- 
vanced to  15  points,  74-,'>9  but  was  cut 
to  77-(i()  as  the  fourth  quarter  ended.

and  all  for  the  splendid,  undying 
cooperation  you  have  given  mc 
during  my  tenure  a.s  football 
coach  here  at  ^Vashiugion  College. 
I  deeply  regret  the  faa  that  pre- 
sent wordly  conditioirs  have  neccs- 
stt2(ed  the  abandonment  of  foot- 
ball and  sincerely  hope  that  it  will 
be  resumed  when  conditions  per- 
mit. 

I  would  also  like  to  ihauk  the 
fellows  who  played  under  me  for 
the  sacrifices  they  made  and  the 
efforts  they  put  forth  to  win  ball 
games.  It  was  really  great  working 
with  you  and  I  wish  you  ai!  the 
best  of  luck. 

Sincerely, 

DIM   MONTERO

fatal  First  And  Third 
The  local  lads  actually  lost  the  game 
the  first  and  third  quarters.  High- 
scoring  Nick  Scallion  mustered  only 
four  points  during  these  fatal  stanzas 
while  the  rest  of  the  squad  could  net 
but  13  more.

1  he  Red  Bird  attack  was  led  by 
Del  Cranston  who  contributed  19 
markers.  C.  l'.  laurels,  however,  went 
to  Delia  Raita,  sensational  forward, 
who  not  only  added  14  points  to  his 
total,  but  controlled  both  backboards, 
and  set  up  scores  continually.  Balink 
Hughes,  guards,  also  had  a  big

Dan  Samele,  playing  with  four  stitches

Butch  McHugh's  absence  from  the

forward  will  undoubtedly  miss  the  re- 
maining games.  He  chipped  a  bone  in 
his  ankle  in  a  practice  session  and  it

To  Name 
'Dream  Girl' 


From  the  halls  "I  Canterburj  Col- 
lege, a  small  liberal  aru  school  such 
as  ours,  in  Indiana^  come  two  trans- 
fer students  whu  hope  to  complete 
their  education  here  at  \Vashinglon 
College.  Elizabeth  Schodt,  who  entered 
as  a  junior  and  C.  Russell  Gale,  a 
freshman,  aic  the  new  additions  to  the 
\V.  C.  population. 

Ip  until  Ibis  past  September,  Can- 
terbury College  has  been  an  Episcopal 
school,  suported  by  the  Episcopal 
Church.  It  was  taken  over  in  I<M6  by 
the  church  when  it  was  a  small  nor- 
mal school.  Howc\cr,  last  fall  with  the 
withdrawal  of  church  support  and  the 
decimation  of  the  faculty,  a  gteai 
many  students  left  the  school.  '  Vmong 
these  were  Misi  Schodt  and  Mr.  Gale. 

When  asked  W'hv  they  happened  to 
choose  Washingion  College,  they 
answered  that  ihcv  liked  the  type  ol 
school  and  the  locaiion.  W.C.  tloscK 
resembles  Canterbury  College  in  its 
friendly  spirit  and  small  number  ol 
students. 

Elizabeih  Schodt.  hails  from  Cable- 
skill,  New  York  and  is  majoring  in 
education.  Russell  Calc,  also  from 
New  York  is  a  pre- theological  studeni 
and  hopes  to  enter  a  seminary-  when 
he  finishes  his  work  heie.  Accompany- 
ing these  two  students  "just  lo  Icnjk 
around"  is  Ruben  H.  Johnslon.  a 
recent  Graduate  of  Canierburi-  College.

Tuesday  e\cning  lullowing  ihc  notifi- 
cation   of   acccpiaoLc  of    ilic   l)ids. 

Names  of  ihose  receiving  bids  were 
placed  on  the  bulletin  board  Wednes- 
day morning  and  bids  were  signed  in 
the  Dean  of  Men's  Office.  A  silence 
period  for  ftaiernity  men  and  lushees 
covered  a  period  of  iwcnty-fnur  hours 
from  Monday  evening  until  Tuesday  at 
fi\e.  \ 

Because  of-ihc  unusually  low  indices 
in  all  clas!;es  this  >car,  [he  plcdgci 
numbered  far  less  than  last  year. 
The  freshmen's  average  this  year  was 
a  .49,  a  pledging  index  «  .7'..  Olher 
reasons  for  ihe  ^all  pledge -group  is 
due  to  the.  great  nqmber .  of  enlist- 
ments in  February  and  the  uncertainty 
of  jhe  draft  status  of  remaining  siu- 
. dents. 

Those  men  who  accepted  bids  to

Dr.  Daniel  £..  Gibson  annouiKcJ 
at  a.sscmbly  this  week  the  formation 
of  a  "Student  .Advisory  Commiitcc". 
The  group,  composed  of  twche  rep 
Tosenlaiivc  members  of  the  foui 
classes,  met  informally  earlier  in  the 
week  when  Dr.  Gibson  outlined  the 
purpose  of  the  body, 

Ihe  purpose  of  the  committee  is  "to 
act  as  a  liason  between  students  and 
administration,  to  provide  a  means 
whereby  students  can  present  iheir 
views  and  thus  assist  the  college.^' The 
sole  purpose  of  the  Cortiraiitcc  will  be 
to  present  the  point  of  view  of  the 
siifdcni  body  to  the  Ctrflcge  Adminis- 
ii-aiion. 

h  was  made  dear^  thac-thc  group 
would  have  absolutely  no. authority, 
disciplinary  or  othcn^iii'.'..?!;©  names 
are  ever  to  be  mentioned  in  the  Com- 
mittee, raeciings".  Dr.  Gibson  .told  the 
ijprcscntatives,    "as     1    am     interested 


pill 


ho 


not  who  they  arc."  This  atitudc  is 
expected  to  lead  to  much  freer  distu^ 
sion  of  student  problems  than  might 
otherwise   result. 

"A  good  deal  can  come  of  the  di-" 
cussions  of  such  a  gi'oup  as  this,"  Di. 
Gibson«Io1d  the  members.  "You  will 
be  in  on  the  ground  floor  of  College 
policies,  and  thus  wil  be  able  to  tindcv- 
stand  thcin  and  explain  them  to  your 
fellow  students,  thus  avoiding  the 
danger  of  uninformed  rumors." 

Members  of  the  Committee  may  be 
callei^  into  session  whenever  its  mem- 
bers or  Dr.  Gibson  think  it  advisable. 
■  Mcmhci^  of  the  Student  .\dvisory 
Committee  are:  Ruth  Roe.  Dian  Lat-

Disgraceful 


Vie  Icam  in  psychology  thai  a  re- 
ptovffd  group  will  respond  more  favor 
•bly  than  a  ^oup  that  is  ignored.  We 
leam  further  that  a  complimented 
>froup  will  react  even  more  favorably 
ihan  a  repn>ved  group.  As  no  compli 
meoi  couid  pos-sibly  be  given  to  the 
(iitdmu  on  their  action  during  meals 
at  HimImhi,  there  h  nothing  we  can 
do  but  reprove  and  hope  for  results. 

The  actions  o(  the  studenLs  in  Hod- 
•COD  Hall  are  disgracdul,  What  pos- 
sible excuse  could  there  be  (or  the 
tbiowing  ot  hrecracker;  in  the  lobby

Attention  Should  ^         ,  . 
Given  Brain  Resources 


An  \.  P.  dispatch  this  week  quoted 
Dr.  D-iniel  Z.  t.ibson  to  the  cffctt  thai 
Congres-i  should  look  at  the  contem- 
plated draft  from  a  vieivpoini  ot  brain 
lesourccs. 

"I  feci  strongly  thai  Congress  should 
give  its  utmost  attention  to  the  de- 
pleting resource*  in  brains. 

"I  think  this  country  will  put  itscU 
in  a  rather  despeiate  situation  if  it 
doesn't  rcaliic  —  as  many  European 
coiftjtiit-.  have  —  that  we  need  leaders 
in  c\cr^    walk  i^  life." 

Dr.  Gibson's  remarks  weie  included 
in  a  survey  of  opinion  of  prominent 
state  college  presidents  and  deans, 
whose  institutions  face  enrollment  tuts 
The  general  concensus  was  thai  if  18- 
year-olds  are  drafted  into  the  armed 
forces,  qualified  inductees  should  be 
permitted  tr>  return  to  college  after  a 
brief  pciioil  iil  training. 

1  he  views  of  Dr.  Detlcv  W.  Broiik, 
pr&iiJent  of  Johns  Hopkins  Univcr 
sitv  paralleled  those  of  Dr.  Gibson.  Dr. 
Bmnk.  a  member  of  the  National  Re- 
sources and  Development  Boartl,  stated 
that,  "We  need  trained  manpmver  at 
all  costs." 

Other  views  as  gathered  in  the 
A.  P.  report  were  as  follows:  Dr.  Jacob 
Kline,  dean  of  St.  John's  College,  said 
he  favors  drafting  13-year-olds,  but 
adds: 

"Many  of  these  men  could  be  seni 
back  to  college  later.  Give  them  a  four 
to  six  months'  training  and  release 
7.1,000  for  college," 

The   Verv    Rev.  Thomas  J.   Murray. 
S.J..     president 
doesn't     belie\-c 


7:.,000  men  will  help  the  small  college 
much. 

'■  I  he  .\rio>  doesn't  need  the  800,000 
men  iihich  I  understand  they  arc  ask- 
ing for.  In  mv  opinion,  they  could 
return  one  lulf  to  college  after  about 
four  months'  training.  That  would 
save  ihe  colleges  and  still  provide 
enough    men    for   the   .\rm) ." 

Another  educator.  Dr.  Martin  D. 
Jenkins,  president  of  Morgan  Slate 
College,  believes  that  present  world 
conditions  require  an  18-year-old  draft, 

Bui,  he  says,  qualilicd  men  should 
be  allowed  to  return  to  college  after 
basic  training,  and  Ihe  total  service 
period   should   not   exceed  27   months. 

Dr.  Lowell  S.  Ensor,  piesident  of 
Western  Maryland  College,  agrees 
with  Dr.  Jenkins  and  Dr.  Kline  thai 
qualified  men  should  be  returned  to 
school  after  a  period  of  basic  tiain- 
ing. 

But  another  educator  would  leave 
the  whole  problem  up  to  ihc  niilitar) 
minds  of   the  counli^. 

"It  seems  to  me,"  says  Dr.  Leon  P. 
Smith,  dean  of  the  -Arts  and  Science 
School  of  the  I_'ni\crsit)  of  Maryland, 
"the  best  wa\  is  to  ireai  ihcm  (18-year- 
olds)  all  alike.  Personally,  I'm  willing 
to  leave  it  up  to  Hersht:\  and  Mar- 
shall(  Maj.  Lewis  B.  ffetshcy.  Select- 
ive Scrvict  director  and  Gen.  George 
C,  Marshall,  Secretary  of  Defense.}" 

.■\nd  the  Ri:  Rev.  John  L.  Sheridan, 

presidcui    of    Mt.    St.    Mark's    College, 

says  his  school  will  go  along  with  the 

government's    proposals,    but    he    e\- 

Lovola     College,  [plain'-  that  he  personally  is  opposed  to

In  Defense  Of 
SpFing  Fever 


By  Dick  WgMc 

Br  the  time  this  issue  of  The  Elm 
appears  it  may  be  winter  again,  but  at 
ihc  present  moment  the  land  abounds 


,ith    symptoms 


of 


spring 


and     an 


epidemic  of  spring  fever  seems  to  be 
getting  under  way.  unseasonable  as  it 
is.  Usually  this  matter  of  spring  fe\er 
is  looked  upon  as  an  incubus  of  the 
most  malicious  intent,  reducing  man- 
kind  to  idiotic  blobs  of  protoplasm 
wishing  nothing  moic  than  to  bask 
in  Ihc  noonday  sun.  I  here  can  be  no 
doubt  that  such  a  state  of  stupifaction 
detracts  from  the  noblest  endeavors  ol 
man.  and  is  to  be  avoided  and  con- 
deemed  even  to  the  extent  of  ostraci- 
zing its  unfortunate  victims  for  feai 
of  spreading  the  coniagion. 

Perhaps  this  is  the  wrong  atiitiidc. 
Perhaps  spring  fever  is  merely  an  all 
too  fleeting  vealiMiion  that  man  in 
some  primordial  day;  lived  a  simplei 
and  happier  life  without  being  torn 
assundcr  by  his  own  ambition.  There 
were  no  noble  endeavors  then,  and 
man  found  it  possible  to  get  along 
without  a  thousand  modem  nuisances 
simply  because  he  hadn't  sold  them 
to  himselt  yet.  Somewhere  along  the 
line  somebody  got  ambitious  and  in- 
vented something  and  his  neighbor, 
naturally  covciing  it,  copied  it.  And 
so  the  race  was  on.  Things  went  from

'Dream  Girl' 


Ten  years  ago  this  week  the  Wash- 
ington College  basketball  squad  was 
preparing  to  meet  the  University  of 
Maryland  cagei-s  at'  College  Park.  The 
U.  of  Md.  has  outgrown  our  league  in 
the  last  ten  years.  Need  anyone  won- 
der what  a  contest  between  the  two 
institutions  would  re>ult  in  today. 
With  thousands  from  which  to  choose, 
how  could  ihcy  miss?

postiftncd  their  further  education  this

A  committee  had  bctn  appointed 
to  initiate  plans  for  a  scries  of  Sun-

Hall.  The  reader  need  only  use  a 
small  amount  of  imagination  to  guess 
how  such  a  plan  would  go  over  with 
the  present  student  body.

position  of  instructor  in  Fngiish  at

continuing    his   studies    in    Italy. 

Ihe  cheerleaders  were  attempting  to 
get  a  response  from  ibe  student 'body. 
There  was  a. possibility  that  the  squad 
might  bavc  to  be  discontinued  if  stu-

AU-American  Visits  Campus 
Our  small  campus  was  honored  last  uefk  end  with  the 
presence  of  a  10 19  (ootball  hero,  Eddie, Lc  Baron.  Eddie  at- 
tended The  College  ol  tile  Pacific  and  in  his  senior  year  there 
was  chosen  Ail-American  quarterback.  He  is  probably  best 
rcraentbered  for  his  outstanding  performance  in  the  College 
All-Star  Game  against  Philadelphia's  mighty  Eagles. 

Eddie  spreads  173  lbs.  over  a  5  foot  8  inch  frame  and 
ajjpears  lo  be  as  solid  as  the  rock  of  Gibraltar.  He  is  a  very 
modest,  soft  spoken  boy  and  when  asked  ivhat  he  thought  of 
Washington's  campus  replied  simply.  "I  think  it's  great.'' 
Scallion  Near  Record 
For  the  second  time  in  as  many  seasons  Nick  Scallion  has 
come  within  an  eye-la-h  of  breaking  the  school  record  of  38 
points  for  a  single  game,  establislied  by  Gene  Rook  during  the 
war  years. 

Last  year  against  Loyola  Nick  garnered  37  and  repeat- 
ed this  performance  against  Mount  St.  Mary's  last  Friday 
night:  For  those  "bleacher-coaches"  ivho  deem  Scallion  a  ball 
hog  and  glory  hound  here  are  a  couple  facts.  Three  times 
against  the  Mounts  when  he  had  foul  shot!i,  Scallion  waived 
the  ball  outside.  A  fourth  time,  when  a  technical  was  caUed  on 
the  visitors,  Nick  could  have,  with  that  point,  tied  the  recofd. 
Instead,  he  handed  the  ball  to  teammate  Samele  who  sank  the 
shot. 

Incidentally,  Nick  holds  the'  Baltimore  U.  court  record  of 
33  points.  He  will  be  out  to  better  that  mark  Saturday  when 
the  AthcymeQ  invade  the  B.U.  hardwood.

popuUrity  of  the  game  has  increased 
and  it  is  played  by  most  preparatory 
schools,  high  schooN.  colleges,  and 
clubs  in  the  United  Stales.  The 
United  Slates  Intercollegiate  Lacrosst 
Association  his  been  vcrj-  active  in 
organizing  and  promoting  the  game. 
Each  year  aa  A!l-Aroerican  (cam  is 
picked  by  the  a.ssociation  from  the 
member  colleges  participating  in  the 
sport.  The  Wingate  trophy.  <mbl<v 
matie  of  the  college  lacrosse  champion, 
ship,  is  awarded  annually  by  the  as- 
.XKiation  to  the  outstanding  team  in 
the    iniercollegc  competition. 

Lacrosse  was  played  in  Washington 
College  quite  a  few  years  ago  but  it 
waj  dropped  in  1934.  The  game  was 
started  again  in  1948  when  several 
lacrosse. enthusiasts,  two  of  whom  wei 
Charlie  Hoffman.  '.W,  and  Eddi 
Leonard,  ■51_  suggested  that  the  sport 
vcd.  The  students  received  one 
hundred  per  tent  support  from  Dr. 
Clark  who  was  also  interested  in  the 
game  and  offered  to  coach  the  team. 
However,  the  sport  was  played  on  an 
dual  club  basis  and  did  not  re- 
ceive the  support  of  the  school  until 
1049.  Varsity  letters  have  been  award- 
ed the  qualifying  placers  for  the  past 
■a  years. 

In  the  three  years  of  competition  the 
team  has  made  a  very  good  record  and, 
1519  and  1950,  was  cited  as  the 
Middle  Atlantic  champions  in  the  In- 
tercotlegiate  Lacrosse  Association.  It 
has  won  30  of  34  collegiate  games  play- 
ed. Some  of  ibe  0Ut3|anding  players  on 
the  team  in  the  past  few  years  were 
Charlie  Hoffman  and  Jack  Jackson 
who  were  chosen  to  play  for  the 
Southern  All-Star  team  which  is  com- 1 
posed  of  seniors.  Ray  Wood  holds  the  | 
high  scoring  record  for  all  college 
competition  in  the  country 
total  of  140  points  for  the  past  three 
seasons.  Last  year  Ray  was  elected 
to  the  third  string  of  the  AIl-American 
Lacrosse  Team, 

This  fast  moving  sport  is  constantly 
winning  popularity  in  the  minds  and 
hearts  of  sports  loving  Americans.  In 
years  to  come,  with  continued  support 
thii  may  become  the  top  sport  in  the 
nation.

dent of  Waihnigton  College,  iniro- 
duccd  the  noted  ^peakcr.  Dr.  (;ibson 
was  later  honmcd  by  being  tapped 
lor  membership  in  Omicron  tleha 
Kappa  national  honorary  fraternity. 
Senator  O  Conor  prefaced  his  re- 
in irk-,  by  noting  the  applicability  of 
ihe  Winds  ol  previous  noted  speakeis 
III  ihe  present  day.  He  quoted  from 
ilie  speeches  of  the  late  Pre-^ideni 
Fianklin  D.  Roosevelt,  of  Hugo  Black, 
now  Associate  Justice  of  the  U.  S. 
Supreme  Court,  and  of  President 
Harry  S-  Truman,  all  of  whom  had 
delivered  addi  esses  at  Washington 
College. 

The  Maryland  Senator  otulined 
seven  policies  which  (his  nation  rdu*i 
follow  if  it  is  to  survive.  "First,  (here 
he  no  Communists  in  our  educational 
ship  for  Communist  China.  Second, 
there  must  be  no  recognition  of  Red 
China  by  ihc  United  States.  Third, 
there  must  be  no  Communist  in  oui 
Stale  Department.  Fourth,  there  must 
be  no  Communsis  in  our  educational 
system.  Fifth,  there  must  be  no  Com- 
munists in  our  armed  forces.  Sixlb, 
there  must  be  no  Communists  in  labor. 
Seventh,  wc  must  have  no  trade  illa- 
tions   with    Communist    pnwcTs," 

Senator  O'Conor  has  recently  recei- 
ved national  attention  by  hi<  eflorts 
in  Congress  on  behalf  of  the  last 
named  of  these  policies.  He  abo  re^ 
fcrrcd  to  the  necessity  of  maintaining 
a  strong  economy,  •■ft  i«  incumbent 
upon  us  that  we  maintain  our  fistal 
security,"  he  said,  "Wc  must  elimi- 
nate that  unnecessary  spending  tvbicb 
can  bring  us  to  the  brink  of  fiiiancia] 
collapse." 

The  United  States  can  do  no  bfiitr 
than  heed  Ihe  words  of  George  Wash- 
ington. "If  peace  is  to  be  cbiained, 
there  must  Ik-  a  new  and  better 
world  order'. " 

"America  must  funiish  the  insnira- 
lional  leadership  in  the  establishment 
of  such  an  order."  the  Senator  'laffd. 
"for  we  have  the  rcsponsibiliiv  of 
leadership.  No  world  organiz.Vrion 
could  be  successful  without  full  IT.  S. 
participation."  Therefore,  wc  must 
iirengihen  onr  sense  of  dmy  and  ie- 
ponsibihty." 

Senator  0"Conor  crtiphasi/ed  the 
ideological  factor  iti  pre«cni  world 
ondiiions.  "The  most  crurial  war  is 
he  -itrut^le  for  men's  minds,"  he  "de- 
clared, "and  Ihc  central  hairle  'must 
be  against  the  sunreoder  of  the'  in- 
dividual's   thought   and   altitude'" 

"Toiolitarians  utilize  a  pusN-bui'ton 
ideology  of  Believe,  Ohev.  and  Fight." 
he  said.  "But  inith  makes  men  ftce. 
and  freedom  make^  them  stronp.  D'-t 
tators    must    rcnrignize-  this    fact-  or

t    these 

disguisung  persons  Bock  coiihl  stx>n 
be  not  only  the  compicment  but  the 
master  of  all   Lager's   effectiveness. 

The  annual  revivals  in  this  country 
of  the  v\'orks  of  ihTs  master,  reflect 
an  interest  in  the  various  phases  of 
their  composer's  development  that  is 
bestowed  only  on  unquestioned  mast 
ei-s.  ft  is  indeed  interesting  to  absorb 
deeply,  the  qualities  of  this  time- 
honored  immortal,  but  as  with  any 
good    an    over    indulgente    may    very 

;!!  acate  a  feeling  of  nausea. 

Foriunaicly  it  is  no  longer  necessary 
to  argue  the  relative  aesthetic  merits 
of  these  two.  but  it  may  be  said  that 
Bock's  historical  function  was  to  save 
singing   in   a    time   of   Lagerian    domi- 

Bock's  influence  on  the  subsequent 
ecneral  history  vias  not  and  may  never 
be  as  great  as  Lager's,  bui  in  general 
Bucks  is  the  more  universal  example

plosive statement.  Furthermore,  I'm

and  then  all  mingled  around  the  in- 
inpreier  and  became  involved  in  a 
loud  and   lengthy   discussion. 

Upon  the  termination  of  this  verbal 

igagement,  the  interpreter  turned  to 

nilh  and  said,  "Indian  want  to  give 

.u   gift."   Immediately   the   politician 

started    lo    beam    and    said.    "A    gilt, 

thai's   just   what    I    want.   1  hat's   jusr

Well.  g<md  heavens,  I  can't  lake  a  bull

1     appreciate     their     kindness,     but     I 

nin't    accept   it." 

With  this,  the  inierprctcr  turned 
back  to  the  group  of  Indians,  talked 
with  them  again,  and  then  turned  lo 
Smith  and  said.  "Indian  have  decided 
that  you  no  have  to  accept  bull,  Jusl

Scallion  Sets  Record 

Nifty  Nick  Scallion  inkod  a  new  school. record  last  Mon- 
day, sinking  39  points  against  visiitng  Moravian  College, 
no  data  could  be  found  on  the  matter,  it  was  generally  con- 
ceived that  the  recorl  of  38  was  held  by  Gene  Rook,  and  has 
stood  intact  until  Nick  blasted  it  this  week,  incidentally,  tho^e 
39  points  lifted  his  three  ycai  total  to  1502. 

Letters  To  The  Editor 

I  would  like  to  point  out  the  fact  that  any  opinion^,  sug- 
gestions, or  criticisms  relating  to  sports  will  be  carefully  con- 
sidered and  printed  if  so  desired-  With  the  sports  picture  on 
the  hill  now  at  a  low  ebb,  and  local  sports  news  relatively 
scarce,  any  ideas  the  student  body  may  have  will  be  readily 
considered.  If  you  have  an  idea,  see  the  writer  personally  or 
contact  him  via  Bo.\  45, 

Short  Shots 

The  Moravian  College  basketball  squad  brought  with 
them  last  Monday  night  a  phenomenal  average  of  76,5  points 
per  game,  over  a  17  game  span.  In  their  first  three  starts  after 
spring  vacation  they  piled  up  2d2  points  for  an  average  of 
87.3  per  cent. 

High  scoiing  Bill  Werpshoski  swelled  his  22.5  average, 
netting  27  counters  against  the  Atheymen,  as  his  team  went 
down  in  defeat.  80-58.  Werpshoski,  a  senior,  has  totaled  more 
than  1500  during  his  career  at  Moravian  and  with  4  games 
remaining  to  be  played,  the  blonde  youngster  could  soar  to  the 
1600  mark  ... 

Many  local  spectators  felt  that  the  Moravian  squad  had 
been  accustomed  to  a  larger  court,  and  that  this,  in  part,  pro- 
ved a  handicap  to  them.  Others  felt  that  the  visiting  squad 
was,  In  plain  words,  "too  cocky"  ... 

The  lacrosse  squad  will  hold  practice  sessions  in  Baltimore 
during  Spring  vacation.

The  Bees  gained  ihcir  lead  at  the 
midway  point  ot  ihe  iliird  qi 
and  letnaincd  on  tup  until  the  fmal 
whistle.  The  loss  turiher  crippled  the 
Maroon  and  Black  hopes  of  gaining 
(he  Mavon-Dixon  Conference  tourney, 
lor  it  was  ihc  seventh  loss  in  13  games 
for  the  visitors  while  the  home  squad 
maintained  a  5  won  and  8  lost  record. 
Samele    Nets   22 

Led  by  the  set  shots  of  Sophomore 
Dan  Samele.  who  netted  22  poinls, 
and  (he  one  hand  push  shots  of  Con- 
ference scoring  leader,  Nick  Scallion, 
who  scored  20  markers,  Ihe  Shore  five 
penetrated  the  Baltimore  lone  until 
the  third  quarter  when  the  Bee>  set 
up  an  effective  fast  break  and  sank 
many  drive-in  shots  led  by  high-scorer 
Leo  Sianiski.  Ssamski  hred  21  points 
through  the  hoop  while  6'6"  Bob 
Mackenzie  contributed  18  a:s  he  con- 
trolled a  majority  of  defensive  re- 
hounds. 

Score  Tied  7  Times 

The  score  was  tied  seven  times  in 
the  6rst  half  which  closed  with  the 
tiwt  quint  trailing  by  3  markem, 
Charley  Goodrich,  cxSouthcrn  High 
>Uir,  sparked  the  Baltimorcan's  rally 
in  the  Srd  quarter  with  a  one  hand 
push  shot  that  put  his  side  ahead, 
47  to  45.  Despite  the  topnotch  re 
bounding  and  hard  fighling  of  Kenny 
Sullivan  and  Jim  Taylor,  the  Bcw 
increased  their  lead  to  57-50  as  Siain- 
»ki  stunned  the  crowd  by  sinking  a 
field  goal  Sfi  feet  away  from  the  bas- 
ket as  the  third  period  buji/cr  sound- 
cdl  Baskets  by  Nick  and  Danny  were 
matched  by  Gerry  Simon  and  Charlie 
Goodrich  at  the  outset  of  the  final 
period.  During  this  quarter,  [he  Wash- 
ington five  spurted  to  a  two  point 
deficit,  r»8  to  60,  but  it  wasn't  up  to 
the  task  of  stopping  S/.amski  and  his 
males  who  again  moved  comfortably 
in  front.

ketball players,  including  the  high 
scorer  among  the  country's  major 
teams,  admitted  this  week  that  they 
had  taken  in  the  neighborhood  of 
$18^00  in  bribes  to  "fis"  seven  games, 
four   this  season   and   three   last  year. 

Those  arrested  anil  charged  with 
thix)wing  the  games  were  Sherman 
White,  hailed   by  many  as  the  No.   I 

'liege  player  in  the  nation;  .\l  Bigos, 
L.I.C  team  captain,  and  Lc  Roy 
Smith,  a   high-scoring  senior. 

The  three  admitted  that  they  had 
been  paid  by  Salvatorc  Sollauo,  the 
;  gent  who  also  bribed  the  C.C.N. V. 
.  His  middle-man  was  Lddie  Card, 
L.I.U.  senior,  who  was  an  outstanding 
guard  on  last  years"  L.I.U.  squad. 

The  college  board  of  trustees  lost 
no  lime  in  taking  action  upon  the  dis- 
closures. At  a  special  meeting  Tuesday 

gbi  it  voted  to  end  all  participation 

I  intercollegiate  sports.  This  included 
cancellation  of  their  four  remaining 
cage  contests. 

'  The  three  stars  were  arrainged  in 
Felony  Court  where  their  bond  was 
set  at  $15,000  each,  the  same  figure 
set  upon  Ed  Roman,  td  Warner,  and 
M  Roth,  the  City  College  (New  York) 
players    also   entangled    in    the    bribe 

Without  counting  "bonuses"  of  5200 


Shoremen 
Whip  C.U. 

The  Washington  College  quintet 
broke  a  three  game  losing  streak  by 
whipping  dangerous  Catholic  Univer- 
sity 6j-:.3.  Led  by  Nick  Scallion  and 
Jim  Taylor,  who  totaled  28  and  IS 
points  respectively  to  lead  the  MartKin 
and  Black,  the  W.C.  cagers  coasted  to 
their  seventh  Mason-Dixon  Conrercntc 
win. 

The  Shoremen  were  never  headed 
in  a  game  which  saw  them  score  seven 
points  before  the  Cardinals  could  rip 
the  cords.  The  closest  C.  U.  could 
pull  was  32-30  early  in  the  third  quan 
er  as  Cranston  made  three  set  shots 
in  a  row.

20-10  at  the  end  ol  the  liiM  quaiier. 
However,  Catholic  V.  came  bark 
strong  in  the  ne\t  periotl.  aiftl  out- 
scored  the  locals  14-8.  With  le>s  Chan 
two  minutes  left  in  the  half  Delia 
Rata,  the  C.  V.  sparkplug,  finally 
totaled  the  first  of  his  II  points. 

The  ihird  quarter  saw  the  Cardinals 
switch  from  a  2-3  zone  to  a  man  for 
man  defense  accompanied  by  a  full 
court  press,  while  the  W.C.  h\e  con- 
tinued a  3-2  zone.  The  tempo  ot  the 
game  quickened  as  the  well  condiloned 
C.  V.  squad  threatened  to  close  the 
scoring  gap.  Nevertheless,  the  Shore 
quint  came  back  to  open  a  sixteen 
point  gap  at  one  point.  From  then 
on  it  was  just  a  matter  of  the  locals 
coasting  to  another  conference  win.

In  his  freshman  year  (48-49),  Nick 
hit  for  414  points  and  a  23  point  aver- 
age. He  followed  up  last  winter  with 
568  and  a  2.i,8  mark.  Monday  njghl 
of  this  week  he  boomed  a  high  39 
against  Moravian  College,  establishing 
a  new  school  record  and  briaging  his 
1950-Jl  total  to  520  and  a  27.4  average. 

Whether  or  not  he  sets  a  new  high 
for  Washington  College.  Nick  certain-

Nick  took  individual  honors  with 
39  for  the  evening  followed  by 
Werpshoski  who  contributed  27  for 
Moravian's  losing  game.  Kenny  Sulli- 
van  hit  for  14  and  Dan  Samele  12. 

The  Sho'men  outscored  their  oppo- 
nents from  the  foul  line,  sinking  20 
cf  30  free  throws;  the  visitors  made 
good  18  of  26. 


nd  $250  and  pocket  money  up  to 
ilOO  supplied  by  Sollazzo  both  during 
the  playing  and  off  season  to  keep 
them  contented,  the  L.I.U.  players  re 
ed  S18.5O0;  the  C.G.N.V.  youths 
S8,900.  The  average  for  players  on 
both  squads  was  about  $1,000  pei 
game. 

Begos  was  reported  to  have  received 
the  largest  amount,  S7.250.  White's 
ihare  was  56,250  and  Smith's  52,000. 
all  this  exclusive  of  money  received 
on  the  side.  In  addition,  Card  had 
gotieu  53.000  for  ihe  "fixes"  in  the 
three  games  he  played  in  the  1949-50 
season. 

Last     ^ears     "fixes"     included     the 

arlh  Carolina  State  game  in  which 
LI.U.  was  favoied  to  win;  they  lost 
by  three;  the  Cincinnati  game;  and 
L.I.U.'s  first-round  game  in  the  Nat'l 
Invitation  Tournament.  This  was  won 
by  Syracuse.  80-52. 

The  (our  "fixes"  this  year  included 
the  first  two  games  of  ihc  schedule 
in  which  L.I.U.  beat  Kansas  State  by 
one  point  and  Denver  by  two.  The 
betters    had    favored    it    to    win    both 

icouniers   by   wide  margins. 

The  other  two  were  in  the  Idaho 
game,  won  by  L.I.U.  by  two  points 
and  the  Bowling  Green  game  hi  which 
L.I.U.  floundered  to  a  six-point  victory. 

It  was  after  the  Bowling  Green 
game  that  the  players  became  panicky 
and  decided  to  "(|uit  white  the  (|uit- 
ting  was  good".  They  said  a  letter 
had  been  written  to  the  school  com- 
plaining of  their  play  and  it  would 
be  loo  risky  to  continue  the  deception. 


JV's  Score 
Ninth  Win 

Washington  College's  Junior  Varsity 
basketball  team  scored  Ui  ninth  win 
ot  the  season  at  the  expense  of  Bca- 
College  of  Wilmington.  Delaware

preliminary  to  the  Moravian  College 
game    Monday    night.    Feb.    19. 

Topping-  the  scorers  for  the  Shore- 
men Jayvecs  were  Elhworih  Boyd. 
Doug  Tilley,  and  Bobbie  .Applebv 
v»iih  15.  14  and  II  points  respective- 
ly. .Also  contributing  in  the  point 
making  department  were  Jim  Shatfe 
Wes  Edwards  and  Rod  Wjie  with  7 
markers  each. 

"Big  Hank  '  Thillips.  6  foot  4  inch 
center  for  Beaconi,  was  the  top  scorer 
of  the  game  with  nine  field  goals  and 
three  fouls  for  a  total  of  21  poiius. 
.Along  with  his  scoring  effou.  Phillips 
also  played  a  bang-up  game  off  the 
boards. 

This  victory  gave  the  college  Jay- 
vees  a  clean-sweep  of  the  home  and 
home  series  with  Beacom.  Washington 
won  the  earlier  game  plaved  at  Wil- 
mington G7-J9. 

Babe  Johnson's  Juniors  now  sport  a 

ison's  record  of  nine  wins  and  two 

losses.  Six  ol  these  victories  have  come 

consecutively  since  their  last  defeat  at

all  with  a  Mexican  selling. 

Mr.  Downing  began  his  career  as  a 
writer  in  ihe  summer  of  1931.  In  con 
iicciion  wiih  his  work  ai  ihe  I'nivcr 
sity  of  Oklahoma,  he  had  been  con-

came  iniercsicd  in  the  idea,  and  dur- 
ing the  summer  wrote  a  book  which, 
however,  was  not  published. 

He  returned  lo  the  University  of 
Oklahoma  and  began  to  write  a  second 
book,  "Murder  on  Tour",  which  used 
as  its  subject  matter  a  touri-it  party 
in  Mexico.  This  became  his  -firsi  pub- 
lished work,  published  by  the  G.  P. 
Putmaii  Company, 

His  next  work,  "l  he  Cat  Scream.s", 
became  a  Crime  Club  selection  of  the 
Doublcday  Company.  John  Patrick,

Currently,  he  has  three  projects  on 
which  he  is  working.  1  be  ncvi  book 
to  be  published  is  a  collection  of  m\s- 
lerj'  stories  and  fantasy  and  science 
fiaion  stories  in  Spanish,  which  he  is 
producing  wiih  a  Prolessor  at  Temple 
University.  He  has  written  ihe  'first 
draft  of  an  historical  noiel  about  the 
.Mexican  war  for  independence  eni

From  The  Dean 

Students  may  drop  courses 
the  penally  of  an  F  grade  only  durhig 
ihe  fiisi  grade  month.  Tlie  approval  of 
he  advisor  and  the  approval  of  the 
Dean  must  be  secured  before  the 
..indent  is  oiTicially  relea.'jcd  from 
class.  The  first  grade  period  ends 
Saturday,  February  2Uh.  However. 
Students  will  have  until  five  o'clock 
Wednesday  evening,  Feruary  2Slh  to 
make  the  necewaiy  change.  Applica- 
tion  must  be  made  on  the  "regular 
form  and  the  necessary  signatures  .se- 
cured. Furthermore,  the  signed  appli- 
cation must  be  returned  to  the  Dean's 
office  no  later  thau  five  o'clock  on 
Fcbruan  2eth. 

This  week  the  Faculty  Committee 
on  AdmLssions  and  Scholarship  con- 
sidered the  case  of  a  student  who 
dropped  a  course,  or  at  leust  failed 
lo  continue  in  class,  during  the  fii-sl 
scmestci.  The  drop  slip  was  not  com- 
plcielv  filled  out  and  the  date  was  a 
November  date,  or  almost  one  month 
After  the  slip  should  have  been  handed 
in.  The  Registrar's  olhccr  had  no  al- 
ternative except  to  assign  an  F  grade 
for  the  course  as  having  been  dropped 
after  the  close  of  the  first  grade  period. 
This  F  grade  had  a  devasting  elTcci  on 
the  student's  index,  with  the  request 
from  the  student  for  reconsidei-ation. 
The  committee  agreed  (hat  the  F 
giadc  should  be  removed,  but  this 
is  in  no  way  to  he  a  precedent 
for  any   fiuure  cases. 

tu^ested  that  all  students  drop- 
ing  courses  follow  the  regular  proce 
dure  of  consulting  their  advisers,  fill 
ing  out  the  proper  t<trra  and  that  the 
form  be  returned  to  the  Dean's  offne 
within  Ihe  stated  period.  1  he  ad- 
viser and  the  dean  reserve  the  right  to 
ask  the  student  to  continue  in  a  clas^ 
if  they  feel  it  is  to  the  student's  best

at  the  College  of  Charleston,  is  the 
College  Canteen  because  it  is  a 
cheerful  place  —  full  of  friendly 
collegiate  atmosphere.  And  when 
the  gang  gathers  around,  ice-cold 
Coca-Cola  gets  the  call.  For  here,  as

ODK  Snack  Bar  Survey 
Indicates  Fair  Prices 


In  3  recent  survey  conducted  by 
Or.ikron  Delta  Kappn,  listing  price? 
£.i  eating  cstabtishiacnts  all  ovrr  Ches- 
lertown  in  n-lation  to  ihc  prices  in  ih'' 
Snark  Bnr,  figures  showed  that  Snack 
Bar  prices  compare  favorably  to  those 
prices  in  other  eating  places  in  Chcs- 
tertown.  The  suivcy  was  made  as  3: 
result  of  many  student  gripes  of  Snack 
Bar  prices. 

Restaurants  that  were  covered  were 
B.nnett's,  Gill's;  EddicX  Ends  and 
Crouch's.  These  were  selected  because 
of  the  great  number  of  students  that 
patronise  these  places  as  well  as  the 
Snack   Bar. 

The  price  survey,  listed  below,  was 
given  to  the  Business  Office  and  also 
brought  to  the  attention  to  the  Presi- 
dent's Student  ,Advisor>-  Committee, 
The  ODK  Committee  making  the 
survey  was  headed  by  Joe  Ingarra 
with  Frank  Browcr  and  Larry  Wcscott 
as  members. 

Comments    On   SKnuy 

Mr,  Dumschotl,  Business  Manager 
of  the  College,  made  tbe  following 
statements  in  rclatron  to  tte  survey. 
"ITie  Snack  Bar  is  not  iiialiiitg  enough 
money  TO  take  jrarc  of  wcrlicad  and 
to  allow  us  to  set  aside  a  sum  to 
replace  worn  equipme-Jit. 

""The  three  possible  rcajions  for  this 
condition  may  be:  (1)  Stayint;  open 
2t  nfght  unin  11:00  P.M.  (2)  the 
price  of  eolTcc  and  (3)  the  !art;c 
amount  of  ice  crcani  served  on  cones. 
Other  conditicms  may  be  present  which 
arc  not  apparent  at  this  time,"  he 
continued. 

400   Said   Per   Day 

"An  averaijc  day's  sales  slips  shows 
ihai  there  are  approximately  400  sales 
ptr  day.  Each  of  these  amounts,  to 
about  S.IO  to  S.I6.  The  gross  ainc 
taktm  in  does  not  cover  wages,  upkeep, 
and  the  wholirsale  price  of  food 
leave  any  sum  to  be  used  in  the  fui 
lor  new  equipment.  As  it  stands  nows, 
when  the  Snack  Bar  equipmcnl  wears 
out   the    Snack    Bar   goes. 

Seueifii  Solutions  Ofjered 

"There /are  several  alternatives  that 
may  be  taken  to  relieve  this  problem 
One  would  be  to  close  the  Snack  Bar 
at  night  when  business  is  slack  and 
keep  prices  as  they  stand.  Another 
would  be  to  raise   prices. 

"^Al  present,  no  changes  arc  to  be 
made.  However,  if  there  is  a  need  for 
change,  it  will  be  the  result  of  careful 
study  and  long  deliberation,"  Mr. 
Dumschoot   concluded. 

No  Rent  For  Snack  Bar 

It  was  noted,  however,  by  the  ODK 
commillce,  that  the  Snack  Bar  under- 
sells other  esiablishnunis  on  only  three 
Items:  egg  sandwich,  toast,  and  cof- 
fee. It  was  also  pointed  out  by  a 
member  of  the  Student  Advisory  Com- 
mittee that  the  Snack  Bar  docs  not 
have    to   pay    rent.

blonil  hiiir  iind  bliie-grecn  eyes — well 
known  for  her  widely  mnged  laiighter 
which  resounds  over  the  campus  at 
viirious  and  unexpected  iiiler\-a]s  ,  .  . 
thinks  the  oddest  things  arc  funny. 

Map.-  "Lee  graduated  from  Sprinit- 
sidr  Srhool  in  Chestnut  Hill  near  her 
home  town  in  \Vhitcm3rsh,  Pa.  Quite 
musically  inclined,  she  has  a  beautiful 
voice  which  she  exercises  in  the  W.C. 
choir,  and  an  exceptional  talent  for 
playing    the    c#llo    and    piano. 

"Latifihinfi  One",  you-all,  is  a 
staunch  defender  of  the  "Confederate 
States  of  .\mrrica"  and  greatly  admires 
the  singinB  of  Mario  Lanza.  She  is  an 
.•\.O.Pi.  pledee  and  an  ardent  Foo  fan. 

CYNTHl.A  JONES— 5'  8",  short

town  is  ChevT  Chase,  Md,,  but  she 
considers  her  re.il  home  to  be  in  the 
staunch  Yankee  territor>'  of  north- 
western Connecticut. 

"Cindy"  is  interested  in  the  Cantcr- 
bur>'  Club  and  was  a  member  of  the 
W.C.  rhoir.  She  likes  sports  but  she 
pi-cfers  playing  the  role  of  a  spectator 
rather  than  participating  in  ihem.  Her 
favorite  extra-curricular  activity,  how- 
ever, is  naturally  John  'jnd  she  sports 
his  K..\.  pin  along  with  ^rr  own 
A.O.Pi-   pledge   pin.

from  high  school.  She  is  ver>-  active 
in  the  Washington  Players  and  has 
i;harge  of  cast  make-up  in  the  oncom- 
ing one-art  plays. 

"^Vee  Willie",  also  spends  a  good 
bit  of  lime  in  girls  sports.  Canterbur>' 
Club  and  watching  Lacrosse  practice. 
.\Uhouch  she  is  a  Pennsylvania  n,  she 
is  a  loyal  Eastern  Shoreman  and  sup- 
ports the  Stars  and  Bars.

liei  room-mate,  Mar>-  Lee,  she  is  a 
loyal   Lambda  Chi. 

P.-VTTV  FENNELL— 5'  VA",  long 
brown  hair  and  hazel  eyes.  This  gal 
is  a  dnv  student  who  lives  near  Wor- 
ton,  Nfd.,  but  displayed  her  e.xcep- 
tional  dramatic  talent  as  \'ictoria  Van 
Bret  in  the  Players'  last  productioin, 
"Douiilc  DtKir".  She  now  has  (he 
lead  in  the  Chester  Players'  produc- 
tion of  "The  L'pper  Room"  to  bi- 
pres'-nted  in  Bill  Smith  auditorium  on 
March  19.  Pat  is  also  a  member  of

\  meeting  of  all  students  interested 
in  medical  schools  was  held  on  Tues- 
day morning  to  outline  the  proposed 
program  loi  the  recommendation  of 
students  lo  medical  schoob.  Under 
the  new  program  each  student  will  be 
expected  to  complete  certain  courses  in 
the  Natural  Sciences  with  a  B  average 
plus  certain  oihcr  prescribed  courses 
in  the  Huntauities  and  the  Social 
Studies.  .\  cumultivc  index  of  2.00  oi 
a  B  average  will  be  necessary  to  secure 
the  approval  of  the  candidate  foi 
medical  school. 

Requirements  for  admission  to  medi- 
cal schools  are  in  general  the  same. 
Each  applicant  must  meet  certain  re- 
quirements in  subject  matter  and  a 
"B"  average  is  assumed  as  minimum 
requirement,  .Some  univereilics  have  a 
spcdai  requirement,  such  as  the  Medi- 
cal School  of  Johns  Hopkins  Univer- 
sity, which  requires  two  years  of  Ger- 
man and  iwo  years  of  French.  .All 
medical  schools  specify  definite  re- 
(uired  courses  and  certain  recommend- 
ed courses  which  the  student  should 
include. 

Since  more  ^Vashingtoii  College 
students  apply  to  ihc  I'nivcrsity  ol 
Maryland  than  to  any  other  medical 
school,    the   outline   of   a    three   year 


educational  program  for  prospective 
physicians  applying  to  the  University 
of  Maryland  is  cited.

Mounts  Defeat  W.  C.  In  Cage  Finale 


SportsLights 


By  JIM  BEACH 


The  curtain  lul^  falk-n  on  another  basketball  siason.  and 
uniforms  and  t-quipmcnt  will  soon  be  packed  in  mothballs. 
Usually,  soon  after  the  last  basketball  game  has  been  played, 
baseball  takes  the  spotlight  as  daily  practices  get  under  way, 
and  all  anxiously  await  the  cry  to  "Play  Ball".  There  will  be 
no  baseball  games  this  year,  however,  and  to  this  writer  and 
many  other  diamond-followers  —  "Well,  it  just  won't  seem 
like  spring." 

Loyola  Jinx 

The  Loyola  baskcteers  continued  to  hold  a  "jinx"  over  the 
Sho'men,  squeezing  out  a  59-57  victory  a  week  ago  at  the 
armory.   (See  write-up  elsewhere  on  this  page.) 

The  last  three  games  ftere  enough  to  make  any  coach  grey; 
Loyola,  American  U.,  and  Mt.  St.  Mary's  in  a  row.  The  Eagles 
dished  out  the  moM  humiliating  spanking  of  the  campaign, 
98-53,  while  the  Mounts  helped  the  locals  close  shop  widi  a 
73-67  thrashing. 

Short  Shots 

The  tennis  team  will  soon  don  their  shorts  and  swing  into 
practice  —  that  is,  when  the  courts  are  put  in  shape  for  them. 
No  games  have  yet  been  scheduled  for  fear  that  the  courts  will  , 
not  be  ready.  Holdovers  from  last  years'  squad  include  Gary 
WyckoH",  Bill  Brandt,  and  co-captain  Bruce  WyckoR'  and  Jack 
Smitli.  Bill  Murray  also  stands  ready  to  step  on  the  firing  line. 

Glancing  through  »the  records  of  the  M-D  Basketball 
Tournaments  we  find  that  Loyola  has  taken  the  crown  four 
times  during  the  last  decade;  1942,  47.  48,  and  49;  followed 
closely  by  American  U.  who  has  captured  it  three  times,  1945, 
46.  50.  Western  Maryland  took  high  honors  in  '41.  Mt.  St. 
Mary's  in  '44  and,  don't  look  now,  but  in  '43  it  was  Gallaudet 
winning  over  Delaware. 

The  current  play-offs  got  imder  way  yesterday  at  Catholic 
University  with  American  U.  tackling  the  Mounts  In  the

As  the  warm  weather  approaches 
and  we  turn  toward  (he  cindcrpath 
which  encircles  Kiblei  lield.  we  may 
hear  the  distant  command,  "On  Your

the  starter's  gun  sends  several  thin- 
cbds  kicking  tip  the  cinders  as  they 
strive  to  match  strides  with  the  lick-

"Those  guys  arc  cia/.y!  They're  out  absolute  control  of  +)c>dy  nuivcment;

nor  are  their  cfFuris  in  vain.  Just  as 
a  football  player  loves  his  game,  as  a 
baseball  player  worships  his  sport,  so 
doe^  a  trackman  train  and  continually 
practice  for  his  individual  event.  The 
niain  difference  is  that  the  runnci 
doesn't  have  10  other  men  to  aid  him, 
as  the  gridiron  sport  does,  nor  docs 
he  have  8  players  following  him  at

A  runner  must  be  at  the  peak  of 
physical  conditioning  in  order  to.  face 
keen  competition  and  his  mental  atti- 
tude must  be  that  of  a  champion,  foi 
lack  of  self<onfidcncc  has  caused  many 
potential  winners  to  fall  in  defeat  in- 
Mcad  of  rising  to  victory.  Perhaps  you 
arc  wondering  what  qualities  a  run- 
ner must  have  or  what  mental  atti- 
tude he  should  take  while  competing 
in  this  sport? 

A  track  coach  has  little  use  for  an 
idler,  while  on  the  other  hand,  his 
lime  is  invaluable  for  one  who  is 
vdling  to  learn  and  properly  condi- 
tion him^clf.  A  sprinter,  for  instance, 
"ecd  vigorous  driving  power,  natural 
speed,  and  quick  reaction  time.  .A 
nuddle-disiancc  man  has  an  easy 
swinging  style  —  long  stride  and  Um- 
ber arm  movements.  These  character- 
isi'cs  should  prevail  in  the  mile  and 
two  mile  events,  with  added  effort, 
"wderate  breathing,  and  a  pugnacious 
spirit.  One  of  the  most  painstaking 
^^•'  in  track  falls  to  the  hurdltrr, 
whose  requirements  are  based  on 
rtiythm  and  timing.  Something  more 
"un  skill  is  needed  in  clearing  these 


e  see  him  gracefully  span  an  eli 
foot  standard.  The  high  jump  and 
broad  jump  are  also  graceful  events,  in 
which  spring  and  body  control  are 
essential.  Proper  steps  and  form  are 
predomineni  assets  in  these  two  jumps. 
Since  the  days  of  the  ancient  Olympic 
(•ames  in  Greece,  the  discus  throw  has 
evolved  to  a  very  popular  sport  to- 
day. Heavy  muscul.ir  '  athletes  are 
usually   most  qualified   for   the  discus. 


as   they   are   in   the    Iti   lb. 


put. 


l>isais  throwers,  like  shot  putters, 
should  have  speed  of  muscle  contract- 
itm,  large  strong  hands,  and  possess  a 
keen  sense  of  timing. 

Henct',  you  have  the  characteristics 
of  top  track  and  fi^-Id  athletes.  K 
these  men  do  nut  have  these  abilities 
when  they  step  foot  on  that  track,  it 
is  their  desire  and  love  of  the  spori 
that  makes  them  traui  and  diligently 
work  in  order  to  develop  these  trails. 
Many  values  may  be  gained  from  track 
and  field  as  —  co-ordination  of  mind 
and  body,  increased  efltciency  of  the 
vita!  organs,  a  better  appetite,  sound 
sleep,  and  the  development  of  right 
social  attitudes,  habits  and  friends. 
S'o  other  sport  provides  keener  indi- 
lidual  competition  and  as  in  evervday 
ife,  it  is  up  to  that  individual  what 
le  makes  of  himself. 

Therefore,  when  you  see  several 
hinly-clad  individuals  jogging  around 
he  oval  ihat  cnrircles  Kibler  Field, 
don'i  exclaim,  "Those  guys  arc  craiyl"

Dr.  Shyrock 
Speaks  At 
Granary 


Dr.  Ralph  .Shrynck,  national  Presi- 
dent of  ibc  American  .\ssociaiinn  of 
I'niveisily  Professors,  addressed  meiD- 
bers  of  the  local  chapter  and  their 
guests  at  a  Granary  banrjiiet  held  last 
Tuesday.  Dr.  Shryock  was  introduced 
by  Dr.  Lawrence  Ford,  President  of 
the  Washington  College  chapter  of  the 
A.A.U.P. 
I  Program   U  Cducadona] 

"Most  of  Ihe  opposition  to  the 
.\.A.U.P.  comes  from  those  who  do 
not  understand  its  purpose,"  said  Dr. 
Shryock.  "Its  program  is  an  educa- 
tional one",  he  continued,  "and  it  ia 
analagous  to  the  American  Bar  Asso- 
ciation and  the  -\merican  Medical  As- 
sociation in  ideals,  purpose,  and  fuoci- 
ions.  He  pointed  out  that  Europeaii 
professors  have  the  standing  in  the 
community  and  nation  which  the 
AA.U.P.  is  trying  to  secure  for  its 
members. 

A.A,U.P.  Not  A  Labor  Uoioa 
Dr.  Shryock  empha,i/cd  that  the 
A.A.U.P.  is  not  a  labor  union,  but  like 
the  Bar  and  Medical  associations  traces 
its  origins  to  the  medieval  guild.  As 
such  it  ha.s  many  constructive  funct- 
ions, and  is  often  called  upon  by  the 
administrations  of  large  universiu'ei 
who  do  not  fight  the  .^.A.U.P.  but 
cooperate  with  it. 

Dr.  Shryock  is  the  Director  of  the 
Institute  of  Medical  History  of  ibe

Suitcase

By  Tom  Lowe 


Ibis  cons(ant  bickering  among  (be

as  ironical  as  the  Literary  Club's 
eRor(s  in  consiruc(ing  a  score  board 
immediately  prior  to  the  lerminati'-n

mainly  at  other  students,  student

for  six  days  s;itiating  our  (hirst  for 
knowledge,  we  immediately  grab  onr 
hand  bags  and  rush  for  home;  looking 
for  ways  in  which  we  can  instill  the

plans  for  "pep  rallies"  to  be  held  on

"Granary" 
Is  Popular 
Banquet  Site 


As  much  a  part  of  Washington  Col- 
lege as  bluebooks.  the  Snack  Bar,  and 
spring  fever,  is  a  rustic  waterfronl 
building  tha(  succeeds  successfully  in 
satisfying  the  appetite  of  W.C,  ban- 
quet goers  wi(h  tantalizing  food.  This 
itruciure^  better  known  to  all  as  ""I  he 
jranary"  looks  out  over  a  peaceful 
harbor  on  (he  Sassafras  River  and  ihe 
breeze  from  (he  river  sends  the  odors 
of  steaks  and  seaf6od  drifdng  up  (he 
entrance  road  letnpting  (he  patrons- 
to-be  to  "step  on  the  g;is"  just  a,  little 
harder.  "Fhc  Granary"  was  former- 
ly just  what  the  name  implies.  7'he 
quaint  stalls,  where  there  are  now 
pine  tables  and  large  windows  looking 
out  over  the  river,  were  once  bins  to 
bold  grain  lo  be  shipped  down  the 
bay.  The  great  oak  rafters,  hand  hewn 
here  in  Maryland,  bolster  a  building 
meant  to  be  .sturdy  and  able  to  with 
stand  all  kinds  of  weather. 

With  Ihis  rustic  atmosphere,  the 
addition  of  modern  conveniences 
which  includes  a  a-iure  blue  powder 
n  and  a  giant  kitchen,  the  old  gran- 
was  made  over  into  an  elite  place 
to  eat.  Started  in  the  IJMO's,  it  imme- 
diately began  attracting  customers  lo 
Is  fme  name  in  food  and  pleasant  at- 
mophcre. 

AVith  this  vcputa(ton  in  mind,  Wash- 
ington  College  clubs  began  planning 
banquets  that  were  to  take  place  at  the 
Granary.  Siudcnts  lined  up  cars,  oidev- 
ed  from  twenty-to-thirty  steak  or  tur- 
key dinners  and  proceeded  to  have  a 
bang-up  parly  from  soup  to  nuis  and 
with  the  inevitable  after-dinner  talks. 
It  is  with  Granary  food  under  their 
belts  (hat  many  student  and  faculty 
groups  decide  policies  and  programs  for 

ashingion  College. 

Perhaps  (he  busiest  time  for  the 
Granary  in  relation  to  W.C.  is  in  the 
pring  when  the  sororities,  fra(ctnities 
and  clubs  have  ihcir  final  banquet  lor 
the  year.  An  outsider,  dining  ihcre'dur- 
ing  one  of  these  affairs  would  enjoy  the 
singing  of  fraternity  and  sorority  sougs, 
the  Oscar  awards  made  to  the  Players 
for  (he  best  performance  and  the  sum- 
ies  of  the  year's  activities  by  doitcns 
of  campus  organizations. 

Il  has  been  said  over  and  over  that 
"The  way  to  a  man's  heart  is  through 
his  stomach"  and  so  it  seems  the  way 
to  gei  down  to  business  on  such  weigh- 
ty problems  as  the  Senior  Class  Con- 
stitution, Student  Government,  and 
good  fraternity  practices  is  lo  give 
the  members  of  these  organizations  a 
good  meal. 

Much  has  been  said  about  the  Cran- 
.iry  for  banquets,  but  when  that  cxlra 
bit  of  allowance  comes  in  or  Ihcvc  is 
a  birthday  or  anniversai-y  lo  be  cele- 
bra(ed  you  can  be  pretty  sure  (hat 
treat  will  be  ai  the  rustic  resipurani 
in  Georgetown,  Maryland,  ovcrlool  ing 
(he   Sassafras    River.

"Clear  right!  CJierk  .sticks!  Man  on  the  crease!"  These  arc  the 
sounds  which  echo  from  the  lacrosse  fieid  as  Coach  Charlie  Clark 
puts  his  fiery  squad  through  their  paces  in  preparation  for  their 
scrimage  with  Maryland  and  the  fust  game  of  the  season  against 
The  Naval  Academy.  This  group  is  being  moulded  into  a  well 
balanced  unit  and  if  Washington  College  doesn't  have  the  best  team 
since  its  inception  of  lacrossi-,  we  feel  that  it  will  at  least  be  the  best 
conditioned  outfit. 

I'npredictablc  Campaign 

Although  the  cindermen  have  just  begun  to  climb  the  ladder 
of  conditioning,  the  squad's  two  mainstays,  "The  Jet"  and  "Captain 
Jim"  have  been  running  true  to  form.  Those  EASY  jOO's  and  660*s 
are  proof  enough  that  Washington's  opponents  will  face  grim  oppo- 
sition in  the  sprints  and  middle  distance  events.  However,  lack  of 
depth  is  the  problem  which  remains  to  be  solved  by  Dim  and  Ed. 
The  1950  record  of  4  wins  and  1  loss  in  dual  meets  plus  the  M-D 
Championship,  will  be  difficult  to  repeat  against  such  adversaries  as '  ' 
West  Chester,  Catholic  U.  and  Loyola  College. 

The  Bull  Pen 

It  seems  like  Al.  "The  Eye"  Zaioskihad  a  pretty  hot  day  against 
Foxwell  last  week.  Thirty-five  points  worth  to  be  axact;  This  estab- 
lishes a  new  intramural  record  for  the  season,  the  old  one  of  34 
having  belonged  to  Smitty  Byham. 

It  was  quite  a  hotly  contested  duel,  when  BillMurray  and 
Bnicc  WycofT  raced  that  half-mile  at  tennis  practice.  But  "The 
Bird  Man"  came  through  as  he  flew  across  the  finish  line  with  five 
yards  to  spare. 

Big  Smitty  and  Bill  Brandt  have  also  been  devoting  much  time 
recently  in  preparation  for  their  first  tennis  match  in  April.  It 
couldn't  be  that  Bill  is  trying  to  run  olT  his  nickname  —  could  it 
"Biscuits?" 


During  the  past  ihree  weeks,  coaches

A  Family  Affair 


This  past  baskeibalJ ,  season  intro- 
duced a  new  scoring  star  here  at  Wash- 
ington College.  Upon  his  arriviil  here 
on  the  Eastern  Shore,  Danny  Saniele 
was  virtually  unknown.  However,  the 
little  fellow  remained  in  this  category 
until  basketball  season  rolled  around, 
and  a  new  star  was  soi.n  burn  on  the 
W.C.  can*pas. 

Almost  over  night,  Ihrnti),  and  his 
deadly  set  shot,  weie  the  lutnidt  ot 
baskeil»all  conversation.  I  o  many  of 
the  "old-timci-s"  on  campu-.,  this  seem- 
ed to  recall  anoiFier  SjuicIc  li)  mind. 
Referring  to  the  record  books,  we 
find  that  there  was  anotfier  Samele, 
Frank  by  name,  who  entered  the 
Washington  canijitw  ten  yean  ago. 
Whcii  baskethalf  tryouis  began,  this 
ifitninitivc  b'H"  fireball  was  on  hand, 
Possevsing  a  great  deal  of  speed  and 
an  accurate  set  shot.  Frank  was  able 
lo  Incik  into  tlie  first  string  lineup. 
ConcliHling  his  first  yc.iv  as  a  Slio'inaii, 
"Pep",  xts  his  teammates  nicknamed 
him,  was  the  team's  second  high 
scorer. 

Ill  his  sophomore  and  junior  yean, 
Frank  Samele  led  the  .Mason-Dixon 
Conference    in    Koring    and    through 


lon^tant  imjtrotement  was  named  to 
the  .\ll-\faryland  teams  of  \W1  aiid 
IW3. 

After  serving  with  I  nde  Sam  for 
three  years,  I'ep  leiuvned  to  his  posi- 
tion at  forward  for  coach  Dumschott's 
"Flying  Pentagon".  In  his"scnior  year. 
I'ep  attained  his  highest  season  total 
(347)  for  a  l"i.l  per  game  average. 

Yes,  all  these  vivid  memories  weie 
recollected  when  we  saw  Danny 
Siunelc  i%  action  this  year.  Like  his 
big  brother.  Danny  broke  into  coach 
Athcy's  starting  Cittint  and  as  a  result 
emerged  secimd  high  scorer  for  his 
lirst  year  on  Ihe  campus.  He  also 
'retains  his  hrothcv's  style,  that  of  a 
deadly  sei  shot.  Just  as  Frank  was  nick- 
]  named  "I'cp",  due  lo  his  spunk  and 
hustle,  .so  ^vas  Danny  tabbed  with  the 
tillc  of  "Swish",  due  to  liLs  beautifully 
executed  sets. 

.■VcconUng  to  this  year's  record  books, 
".Swish"  eclipsed  his  elder's  first  year 
scoring  mark  by  M  points.  If  this  is 
any  indication  of  things  to  come, 
basketball  histoiy  may  again  be  writ- 
ten by  a  Saniele  at  Washington  Col-

Intramural 
League  Ends 

It's  all  over  but  the  shouting  now, 
for  the  intramural  basketball  league 
schedules  only  a  few  more  games. 
One  team  has  hnisbed  the  regular  sea- 
son and  most  of  the  othei^s  have  only 
one  game  left.  Theia  Chi.  the  New 
man  Cliih,  \\'est  Hall,  and  Kappa 
.Mpha  arc  the  teams  that  will  face 
each  other  in   the   plajolfs. 

Thcta  Chi  Continues  -To   Win 

The  action  ol  last  week  set  off  with 
a  bang  as  Theia  Chi.  led  by  Johnny 
Coxand  Kenny  Howard,  who  hit  for 
20  and  17  points  respectively,  trounced 
G.l.  Hall  55-21.  The  following  after- 
(.loon  the  Day  Students  overcame 
AONu  37-24  as  Jim  Ha.ebel  ripped  the 
cords  for  13  points  white  George  Horn 
scoretl   10  for  the  losei"i. 

The  next  evening  the  Day  Students 
again  played,  bin  thi^  time  they  were 
edged  by  an  eager  Foxwell  squad 
27-23.  Mulvaney  led  both  teams  in 
scoring  as  he  netted  7  markers  for  the 
losers.  In  a  game  between  two  ot  the 
top  four  teams.  West  Hall  turned 
in  a  37-2.1  victory  over  the  Newman 
Club.  Coijper  DeLoach  was  high  man 
with  12  points,  while  "Viuny  -  Mag 
liocheiii  totaled   10,  ' 

Zaioski    Nets  35   Points 

The  next  day  K.\  ran  away  from 
Foxwell  in  a  high  scoring  duel.  .M 
Zaioski  led  the  way  to  the  67-34 
win  by  ripping  the  net,s  for  a  sur- 
pri.siiig  35  points.  In  the  next  con- 
test  Foxwell  wai   defeated   as  Cooper 


The  lacrosse  squad,  now  rounding 
out  its  third  lyeck  of  training, 
been  blessed  to  date  with  relatively 
good  weather. 

At  this  point,  it  appears  that  it  will 
be  dilhculi  for  the  returning  reserves 
or  newcomers  to  oust  (irst-siringers  of 
last  year  where  the  latter  aie  available. 
The  position  of  goal,  vacated  by  last 
year's  captain,  Price  Ransome,  and 
I  Bill  Tom.  is  as  yet  unfilled.  The  most 
i  experienced  goalie  on  the  squad,  Bob 
' Jackson,  has  played  on  defense  lor 
two  years  and  Coach  Clark  is  reluct- 
ant to  change  his  position  unless  aliso 
luicly  necessary.  Every  opportunity  is 
being  given  Bill  Russell,  third-string 
goalie  of  last  year,  to  earn  a  starting 
licrih.  To  date  he  is  progressing  nicely. 
Oilier  competitors  for  the  position  are 
Bo  Dyer,  Duke  JohnsKm,  and  Frank

The  Eagles  of  .■\mcrican  Univcrsiiy 
have  been  Hying  their  victory  colors 
the  past  week  due  to  their  decisive 
22  point  victory  margin  last  Saturday 
night  over  a  favored  Johns  Hopkins 
quintet. 

The  tourney  champions  from  our 
nation's  capital  asccflded  the  victory 
ladder  by  walloping  Mount  St.  Mary's 
and  Western  Maryland  previous  to 
their  finale  against  the  Bluejays,  Hop- 
ftmght  valiantly,  however  the 
Mounts  placing  three  men  in  the  20 
point  bracket — Ron  Garshag,  LeRoy 
Ishnian  and  Sherry  Webster,  set  a 
rapid  pace  which  J.H.U.  could  not 
match.

A  practical  use  was  found  for  the 
Elm  (or  The  Washington  Collegian) 
when  someone  hit  upon  the  idea  that 
the  windows  of  the  gym  should  be 
plasieied  with  them  in  order  to  ex- 
clude light  and  free  the  basketball 
court  from  glare.

and  the  students  were  griping  through

Seems  that  they  had  to  study  day-by-

to  u-e  the  stacks,  he  might  request  a

Following  an  an  noun  cc  men  (  made 
several  weeks  ago  hy  Frederick  W. 
Dum<^rho(t  slating  the  financial  status 
of  the  Snack  Itai,  (he  eating  habitat 
of  Washington  Ci>llcgc  students  began 
closing  its  diK>rj  at  5:00  I'.M.  last 
^fond3y  instead  of  the  usual  11i)0 
P.M.  Tljis  action,  ordered  ljy  Mr. 
Dkimsfhott  15  being  tried  as  a  method 
to  save  money  lor  the  Snack  Bar 
which  has  been  reportedly  losing 
money   since   last   September. 

The  reason  giver.  lor  the  early 
closing  was  that  the  amount  of  sales 
carried  on  in  the  evening  did  noi 
cover  operadng  costs  (or  that  period. 
In  order  to  keep  from  raising  prices 
lo  make  up  the  difference,  the  work- 
ing hours  in   the  Bar  were  cut. 

The  Snack  Bar  situation  was  brought 
to  the  attention  of  the  students  by 
(he  publishing  in  the  Flm  of  a  survey 
<m  food  prices  made  by  ODK.  It  was 
also  brought  to  the  attention  oE  the 
student    advisory   committee. 

In  a  statement  to  the  Elm  o)ncem- 
ir.g  the  survey  Mr.  Dumschott  men- 
tioned the  possibility  of  closing  the 
Snack  Bar  as  one  of  the  alternatives 
to  be  taken  in  order  to  economize. 
Tlie  other  attirnaiive  was  a  raise  in 
prices,  panicularly  on  coffee  and  ice 
cream  which  were  thought  to  be  pos- 
sible money  losers,        ^ 

It  was  noted  however  by  the  ODK

The  An  Club  of  Washington  Col- 
lege will  hold  an  exhibition  ol  student 
arc  late  in  April,  it  was  announced 
by  Dr.  Voclkcr  today.  The  exact  date 
will  be  announced  later.  Any  student, 
whether  a  member  or  not,  may  take 
pan  in  this  evhibiiion.  which  is  an  all- 
campus  adivity. 

The  exhibition  will  consist  of  waici 
colors,  oils,  pencil,  pastels,  charcoals, 
pen  and  ink,  cartoons,  carving,  photo- 
graphy, model  making,  needlework, 
leather  work,  crafts,  clay  modeling  and 
ceramics,  and  oilier  artistic  hobbies 
of  ihc  students. 

One  objective  of  this  evhihition  is  lo 
ascertain  what  interest  there  is  in  art 
among  Washington  College  students. 
This  will  be  used  in  deciding  what 
sort  of  arc  courses  the  college  might 
offer.  Dr.  VoelktT  believes  that  there 
is  a  possibility  that  art  might  become 
a  major  department  at  Washington 
College. 

AH  students  who  are  interested  may 
find  out  the  details  about  exhibiting 
from  I'eggy  Brimer,  President  of  the

Sunday  Movies 
Ruled  Out 

The  plan  of  the  Mt.  Vernon  Literary 
Society  to  sponsor  Sunday  movies  on 
the  campus  has  not  met  with  the 
necessary  approval,  it  was  revealed  this 
week  by  Vince  Magtiochctti,  former 
President  of   the  Society. 

In  a  letter  dated  February  27  and 
released  for  publication  this  week  by 
the  Society,  Dr.  Charles  B.  Clark,  in 
Charge  of  Studeiu  .Vcth  itic*.  staled 
the  reasons  for  the  failure  to  approve 
the  plan.  In  brief,  it  was  felt  that  the 
movies  would  conflict  with  the  sche- 
dule of  Ihe  local  ctiurches  and,  in 
addition,  would  interfere  with  students 
preparing  for  classes  Monday.  (See  text 
of  letter  on  page  4).

Gives  Science 
Demonstration 


A  liqbid  air  iIcmoiTitration  present- 
ed by  Mr,  John  Sloan,  a  graduate  ol 
Duke  University  was  sponsoied  by  the  l 
Science  Club  for  the  assembly  pnigram  | 
on  Thursday.  A  former  science  teach- 
er, Mr,  Sloan  has  performed  over  five  ] 
thousand  demonstrations  to  high  [ 
school  and  coUtJge  students  in  forty- 
two  states. 

In  a  series  of  experiments,  Mr 
Sloan  presented  the  peculiar  proper- 
ties of  liquid  air.  Made  by  subjecting 
air  to  high  pressure  and  lowering  its 
temperature,  pale  blue  liquid  air  has 
I  a  temperature  of  321  degrees  F.  below 
liiero.  To  show  the  effect  of  subjecting 
'other  materials  to  this  low  icmpcr^t- 
ture,  Mr,  Sloan  immersed  various 
solids  in  the  liquid  air.  In  this  way, 
he  made  a  banana  hard  enough  to 
drive  nails,  a  rubber  ball  that  would 
break  like  glass,  and  a  piece  of  iron 
that  could  be  broken  with  the  hands. 
Demonstrating  liquid  air's  expansive 
force  as  it  changes  to  a  gas.  ^tr.  Sloan 
inflated  a  balloon  by  attaching  it  to 
a  test  tube  of  liquid  air,  and  played 
a  clarinet  by  performing  a  similai 
action. 

Combustion  experiments  were  also 
presented,  made  possible  as  Mr.  Sloan 
explained  by  the  fact  that  as  liquid 
air  evaporates,  almost  pure  liquid 
oxygen  is  obtained.  A  steel  wire  burn- 
ed when  placed  into  the  liquid.

Scholastic 
Ability  Counts 


Prcsitlcnt  Truui.in  lasi  Saturday  or- 
dered draft  defcriiient  for  college 
students  on  the  basis  of  their  scholas- 
til  ability.  Later  iTiis  week,  selective 
General  Lewis  B.  Hershcy,  selective 
sciviee  director,  sent  to  all  draft  lioards 
the  complete  procedure  for  taking  ap- 
titude tests  to  determine  student  abi- 
lity to  attend  college.  Over  1,000 
placcN  were  listed  where  examinations 
will  be  held  and   thirty  sample  ques- 

ins    were    released    to    let    students 

low  what   ih'.y   could   expect.  Tests 

11  be  administered  at  Wanhington 
College  May  211,  June  Irt  and  June  30. 

College  students  were  advised  to  get 
in  touch  with  their  local  boards  im- 
mediately and  obtain  Selective  Ser- 
vice Forms  lOG  and  107.  These  actual- 
ly arc  1-cent  post  cards  attached  to 
each  other. 

The  student  can  indicate  the  date 
on  which  he  would  like  to  take  the 
test  and  Ihe  place.  Alter  the  form 
is  filled  out,  the  registrant  mu^jt  mail 
it  to  the  Selective  Service  e)^aiiiiaiDg 
section. 

Ihe  Educational  Testing  Service  of 
Princeton,  N.J.,  then  will  assign  (ht 
date  and  place  where  a  student  will 
take  the  test  and  return  halt  of  the 
card  to  the  registrant.  He  mu.«  take 
the  card  with  him  when  he  takes  the 
test.  The  service  will  follow  the  stu- 
dent's wishes  as  far  as  possible  ob 
time  and  pUcc  for  the  test. 

Each  applicant  will  be  fingerprint- 
ed to  make  sure  that  only  authorized 
persons  take  the  test,  which  will  be 
in  the  form  of  multiple-choice  ques- 
tions. Anyone  caught  cheating  will  be 
dismissed  from  the  examination  imme- 
diately. 

the  tests  will  include  mathematical 
problems  and  the  reading  of  passages, 
charts  and  tables  to  sec  how  studcnifi 
apply  general  principles.  They  are 
designed  to  determine  ability  to  learn 
rather  than  actual  knowledge. 

The  test  is  aimed  at  providing  for 
the  deferment  of  enough  promising 
students  to  give  the  nation  all  the 
trained  scientists,  technicians  and  pro- 
fessional men  it  needs.  Only  men  al- 
ready in  college  will  be  permitted  to 
lake  it.  s 

Other  eligibility  rules  for  test  appli- 
cants are  as  follows: 

1.  The  applicant  must  intend  to  seek 
occupational  defcrmcni  as  a  student. 

2.  He  must  be  under  26  years  old. 
(The  draft  age  limit). 

3.  The  applicant  must  not  have  pre- 
viously taken  the  test.' 

No  cost  will  be  involved  ^;xtcpi  the 
applicant's  transportation  costs  to  and 
from    the   examination  center. 

The  action  was  taken  in  recognition 
of  Ihe  tact  that  the  United  States  can- 
not hope  to  match  Soviet  Russia  and 
her  satellites  in  manpower  but  must 
rather  place  its  prime  reliance  io 
.\merican  scientific  and  technical  sup- 
eriority. 

General  Hcrshey  noted  that  Con- 
fess had  provided  tor  deferments  ol 
college  and  univervity  students  "in 
such  numbers  as  may  be  necossary  lo 
the  maintenance  of  ihe  nation^ 
health,  safety,  or  interest." 

By  cxiniiive  order.  .>Ir.  Truman  de- 
fined a  student  as  necessary  to  nalionaJ 
liealtb_  safety  or  interest  if  he  falh 
tne  of  the  three  following  cate-

". .  And  Farewell  King. 


By  Tom   Lowe  table 

Ha\ing  created  shells  like  armadil- 
■  ,  we  arc  pecnliarily  unaware  of  the 
pressure  applied  indirectly  on  every 
one  of  tis.  Some  poor  sensitive  souls, 
whose  skin  just  will  not  callous,  in- 
terpret these  coercions  as  if  they  have 
been  singled  out  to  be  purged  by  the 
student  body.  Such  is  the  plight  of 
sensiti^e  individualists.  .Actually, 
c\cryonc  gets  the  same  ireatraent  — 
and  1  use  the  word  in  all  its  mean- 
ngs  —  but  after  a  few  years  here,  this 
high  pressuring  of  ideas  goes  off  of 
our  backs  like  water  from  a  duck's. 

It  is  typically  provincial  in  America 
to  attempt  to  jam  ideas  down  others' 
hroais  —  as  the  prohibitionists  did 
u  the  twenties  an.l  the  puritans  have 
done  in  the  past  with  blue  laws.  Our 
policies  never  have  been  developed  to 
an  art.  U'c  aic  si>  used  to  the  "longh 
skins"  we  try  to  penetrate  with 
"needles".  Once  we  have  penetrated 
we  rip  the  weakened  spot  leaving  ire- 
mendoits  scars  which,  incidentally, 
ser^e  to  act  as  armor  for  later  attacks. 
.■V  weak  willed  person  (heaven  help 
him!)  who  comes  lo  W'.C.  has  three 
choices.  Either  he  develops  a  "tough 
skin",  conforms  or  leav  es  a  raving 
maniac. 

In  a  more  serious  vein  this  isn't 
particularly  good.  In  that  Jl  develops 
our  strength  of  wills  —  yes.  but  think 
of  tho>e  whose  nature  it  is  to  mimic. 
.\nvonc,  for  instance,  who  wear^  a 
coat  and  tie  to  supper,  or  attempts  to 
retain   any   semblance  of   conventional 


:  regarded  (v:th  com- 
plete bewilderment.  Occasions  upon 
which  the  alunuil  return  call  automa- 
tically for  the  students  to  get  sloppy 
drunk  so  that  we're  able  to  impress 
them  with  what  "big  boys"  we  are. 

This  situation,  of  course,  was 
brought  about  by  the  past  adminis- 
trations. They  must  reaUie  by  now 
that  the  quickest  way  to  bring  on  a 
situation  is  to  completely  outlaw  it. 
However,  if  they  had  looked  at  the 
terms  "temperance"  as  "moderation", 
by  now  the  students  would  have  learn- 
ed that  a  man  is  not  measured  by 
"how  much"  he  can  drink  but  simply 

Let's  think  tor  a  moment  what  all 
this  can  mean  lo  some  young  high 
school  chap  lliai  has  been  babied  all 
his  life  —  he  may  have  the  strength 
to  withstand  and  be  better  for  it. 
Nine  times  out  of  ten  he  will  fall  in 
line  as  a  typical  freshman  is  expected 
to  and  become  a  prototype  of  some 
idol   on    the  campus. 

.And  let's  not  feel  ttx)  sure  of  our 
own  selves.  We're  going  to  walk  out 
ot  here  witty^  caustic  and  a  little 
cynical  perhaps  aud  some  prospective 
employer  is  going  lo  jam  that  degree 
in  our  saucy  little  mouths.  We're 
dragging  oursChes  into  that  fantasy 
that  we  are  superiors  as  individuals 
in  spite  of  and  not  because  of  W.C. 
I'erhaps  tve'd  better  give  a  little  of  the 
individual  enthusiasm  over  to  a  col- 
lective spirit  and  boost  the  school  a 
bit    instead  of  ourselves.

By  Ellsworth  Boyd 


Sho'  Stick  Team  Praised 
Although  the  Maroon  and  Black  was  defeated  by  Na\7  ir 
initial  outing  of  the  '51  lacrosse  season,  it  is  tlie  opinion  of  veteran 
stickmen  that  the  Chestertown  squad  should  remain  victorious 
throughout  the  remainder  of  their  campaign,  Navy's  assistant  roach, 
jcAm  Donohuc,  labels  the  Eastern  Shoremen  as  the  best  small  college 
team  since  the  cliampoinship  days  of  St.  Johns  (when  he  played,  and 
"Nav>''s  Dinty  Moore  coached) . 

B.O.C.  Boasts  Hubbard 

Many  track  fans  will  recognize  a  former  alumnus  and  eminei 
track  star  at  Washington  College  this  year  when  The  Baltimore 
Olympic  Club  once  again  visits  the  Shore  for  a  dual  track  and  field 
encounter.  Although  we  would  rather  have  him  with  us  than  against 
us,  it  looks  as  if  Mickey  Hubbard  will  be  one  of  the  Baltimore  Club's 
mainstays  and  a  reliable  point-maker  as  he  was  at  \Vashington  Col- 
lege last  year. 

Racketeers  Tuning  Up 

The  tennis  ranks  within  the  M-D  Conference  Iiavc  depleted 
with  the  amiouncement  that  The  University  of  Baltimore  and  Mt. 
St.  Mair/s  will  not  field  teams  this  year.  Howe\'er,  our  racketeers 
have  been  practicing  daily  in  the  gym  until  their  outdoor  courts  are 
erected.  The  schedule  is  not  yet  complete,  nevertheless,  matches  have 
been  sfated  with  Catholic  U.,  Towson,  Western  Maryland  and  Johns 
Hopkins. 

This  An'  That 

Ai  Doory,  cx-Washington  College  student  now  attending  Balto. 
v.,  was  one  of  five  Y.M.C.A.  wrestlers  who  grappled  Ichiro  Hatta's 
louring  team  of  Japanese  champions  in  an  e?diibition  event  at  the 
Baltiraore  "Y"  last  Friday  —  At  the  M-D  Conference  meeting  last 
week,  it  was  decided  to  pick  an  all  conference  basketball  team  in 
1952  instead  of  the  usual  all  tourney  live  —  The  W.C.  lacrosse  squad 
threw  a  scare  into  Navy  coach  Dinty  Moore  bc-fore  the  initial  game 
of  the  seas€»i.  "1  heard  about  that  scrimmage  Washington  had  with 
Mar^'IaTid  and  that's  reason  enough  to  be  concerned  over  our  game", 
exclaimed'  coach  Moore  - —  Out  of  the  group  of  30  who  reported  for 
track  practice  several  weeks  ago,  only  half  have  been  attending  daily 
workouts.  Those  gym  classes  must  be  getting  pretty  rough  if  students 
have  ta  dra%v  equipment  and  supposedly  go  out  for  a  sport  in  order 
lo  eliminate  g>Tn  from  their  schedules  !  !   !

The  victors  were  led  by  Mel  Morgan 
who  bucketed  five  field  goah  and  seven

Athey  At  Meeting 


No  startling  det':lopnienis  came  out 
of  the  inlttigural  session  of  the  .Mason- 
Dixon  Conference's  annual  spring 
IG  meeting  last  Saiit.'day  and  Sunday  at 
thi;  Emerson  H  jtcl  in  Baltin^orc,  htiw- 
evei,  several  recommendations  were  ad 
vanced  by  repte;entaiivcs  of  the  lit 
M-D  schools. 

Edward  L.  .-\they,  athletic  director  of 
Washington  College  is  vice  president  ul 
the  conference  afid  is  head  of  the 
conimitice  on  lacroue.  Emil  C>.  Rein. 
Jr..  Loyola's  Jthlsiie  dir^ior  and 
coach^  is   treasurer   ai\d   cbaiTinan   of 


After  the  two  semi-hnal  garner  and 
one  championship  game  the  red  and 
white  of  Theta  Chi  twice  emerged 
victoriouij  to  win  the  intramural  bas- 
ketball title,  Thu  Chi,  beaten  in  the 
firal*  last  year  by  G.I.  Hall  simply 
ran  the  opposi:ion  into  the  grOund 
with  a  high  scoring  offense  and  an 
effective    full    court    pres-s. 

In  the  first  semi-final  game  the 
eventual  champs  readily  beat  KA 
47-28.  With  johnny  Cox  hitting  for 
23  points,  mostly  set  shotj,  KA  trailed 
all  the  way.  Al  Zaloski  had  an  off  day 
bu['  waj  good  enough  to  lead  his  team 
and  bucket  ten.  \fier  the  Hrst  quart- 
er K  \  had  litllo  chance  to  produce 
an  offense,  for  the  Theia  quint  dis- 
played a  full  court  press  led  by  speedy 
Kenny  Howard  and  alert  Jack  Nacidii 
Meanwhile,  the  victors  showed  the 
finest  ball  handling  seen  this  year 
among  the  afteru'on  cagers  and  easily 
cracked  the  ineffectual  K.\  zone.  " 
West  Hall  In  Finals 
Then  West  Hall  took  the  court  and 
tripped  the  Newman  Club  by  a  38-33 
score.  \Vest  Hall,  boasting  the -tallest 
club  in  the  circuit,  had  five  technicals 
called  against  it.  but  sparked  by  rangy 
Neil  lilghman  they  had  little  trouble 
in  netting  the  victory.  However,  twice 
the  Newman  Club  pulled  within  ont 
point  of  the  winners,  ITi-U  and  32-31 
but  each  time  Tilghman  bucketed  s 
hook  shot  to  put  a  margin  between  the 
quiiuets.  With  Tilghman  scoring  12 
points  in  the  pivot  and  DeLoacli. 
Kreiger  and  Bonsack  working  from 
the  outside,  their  scoring  punch  was 
versatile,  while  Vinny  Magliochetti  al- 
most singly  led  the  Newman  Club 
with  II  points. 

Theia  Wms  53-35 
In  the  final,  Theta  Chi  coasted  to 
an  easy  53-36  victory.  ,\n  evenly  dis- 
tributed scoring  punch  seemed  to  will 
West  Hall.  Ed  Cinaglia  ted  the  win- 
ners with  IG  points.  Jack  Nacrelli  and 
speedster  Kenny  Howard  were  next 
with  9  and  8,  as  every  man  on  the 
Theta  club  ripped  the  cords.  Neil 
Tilghman,  figured  to  be  the  main 
West  Hall  threat,  lived  up  to  prej 
game  prediction,  with  18  points.  How- 
ever, only  Jim  Kreiger  was'  able  to 
hit  from  the  outside  while  1  heta  Chi 
scored  from  every  angle. 

Again  using  a  full  court  press  and 
fast  break.  Theta  had  little  trouble 
in  tiring  the  five  man  West  Hall 
quint.  The  colsest  the  losers  came  was 
six  points  at  the  'jnJ  ol  the  first  quart 
cr.  Possession  of  the  ball  was  the 
Theta  Chi  rule  as  they  romped  up 
and  down  the  court,  repeatedly  steal- 
ing the  sphere.  With  a  late  scoring 
drive  widening  the  margin,  the  Ox- 
Men  Iwcamc  the  intro-mural  champ- 
ions with  their  J5-36  win.

Last  week  marked  the  opening  of 
the  1951  lacrosse  campaign  for  Wash- 
ington College  as  they  were  overcome 
by  the  Naval  .Academy  at  Annapolis, 
8-6. 

The  Middies  wasted  no  time  as  they 
jumped  to  an  early  20  lead  in  the 
first  quarter,  .\fter  Navy  Captain  Chct 
McDonougb  fired  two  into  the  net. 
the  Sho'men  matched  the  Middies  goal 
tor  goal.  The  score  stood  at  4-0  before 
the  Itnal  lads  could  find  the  range  in 
the  second  quarter. 

Grim  Breaiu  Ice 

Washington's  scoring  was  opened  by 
John  Grim  on  .i  ricochet  shot  midway 
in  the  second  stanza.  Graeme  Menziei 
followed  shortly  with  another  and  the 
half  time  score  stood  at  4-2.  with  the 
Middies  in  front. 

Early  in  the  second  half,  the  Ches- 
tertown stickmen  changed  the  score- 
board  to  read  4-3  on  a  fine  shot  by 
Rip  Wood.  However,  Bob  Burch  coun. 
tered  for  the  sailors  and  Dick  Wright 
added  another  to  lengthen  the  lead 
to  three  goalj.  Lacry  Leonard  flipped 
one  in  from  the  side  as  the  third 
quarter  ended. 

The  foufih  frame  saw  the  Sho'men 
out  play  the  Middies  for  the  first  time 
the  game,  They  again  closed  the, 
gap  on  a  shot  by  Meniies  but  Mc- 
Donogh  and  Billy  Earl  penetrated  for 
numbers  seven  and  eight  for  Navy, 
Wood  firtd  iir  the  final  taHy  of  the 
game' with  less  than  a  minute  to  play, 

"1  he  Middies,  with  free  substitution, 
ore  down  Sho'men  Coach  Charlie 
Clai'k's  unit.  The  local  lads  showed 
good  slickwork  and  accurate  passes 
but  were  overcome  by  Navy's  reserve 
strengih.

Today,    the    team    travels   north    to

Feb.  27,  19.11 
Miss  Janet   Newman,  Secretary 
Ml.   Vernon   Literary    Society 
Washington   College 
Chcsieriown,    Maryland. 
Dear  Janet: 

The    request    of    the    Mt.    Vernon 
Literary    Society    to    hold    movies 
Sunday  evenings  has  been  given  care- 
lul    consideration.    It    is    our    belief 
that    Sunday    evening   is   not   a   good 
evening  for  this  activity,  based  upon 
these  considerations: 
■  (1)     ChesieriowTi     churches     would 
have  a  just  complaint  inasmuch  as  the 
hours    would    conflict.    Whether 
dents  would  be  going  to  church  o 
is  in  a  sense  beside  the  point,  for  the 
churches   would   still   (ccl  justified   in 
making  the  compl; 

(2)  It  is  our  feeling  that  students, 
manv  of  them  returning  to  the  campus 
on  Sunday  evening  from  a  week  end 
away,  should  be  interested  in  prepar- 
ing for  their  classes  the  next  day.  As 
far  as  possible,  we  do  not  desire  to 
have  any  aaivity  interfere  with  classes  1 
We  will  be  perfectly  agreeable  to  | 
the  idea  of  your  attempting  these 
movies  on  clear  Friday  evenings.  We 
have  some  doubts  alKiui  them  on  the 
basis  of  past  experience.  The  Movie 
Guild,  under  the  leadership  especially 
of  Lennv  Krassner,  operated  here  for 
a  couple  of  yeai-s  in  rather  a  spasmodic 
way.  They  were  allowed  to  hold 
movies  on  Fridays  when  there  were  nn 
dances,  games,  etc.  Whether  they  made 
any  money  I  cannot  say  ofFhand.  II 
vou  want  to  try  (hem.  alright.  Check 
dales  with  me  to  avoid  conflicts.  We 
assume  you  would  want  to  use  the 
Auditorium.  Wc  would  want  to  be 
fully  taiisfied  thai  no  smoking  would 
be  allowed  in  there  because  of  ih« 
danger  invoUed  with  exposed  film. 
This  was  a  sore  point  when  ihc  Movie 
Guild    was    operating. 

I   will    be  glad  to  talk  with  you  or 
anyone    connected     with     the    Society 
about  this  matter  at  any   time. 
Sincerely    yours, 
CHARLES    B.   CLARK_    In 
Charge,  Student  Activitcs.

The  gi^duatc  students  in  the  first

However,  college  students  must  meci 
certain  scholastic  standards. 

Scholastic  standing  cati  -ac  determin- 
ed in  one  of  two  ways.  A  student  must 
be  in  a  certain  upper  portion  of  his

a  Selective  Service  oflicial  said  thai  a 
plan  proposed  by  General  Hcrshcy 
several  weeks  ago  will  probably  be 
used  at  first. 

At  that  time,  Hershcy  suggested  thai 
all  college  freshmen  in  the  upper  half 
of  their  class  be  deferred,  all  second 
year  students  in  the  upper  two  thirds, 
and  all  third  year  men  in  the  upper 
three  fourths  of  their  class.

th  General  Hcn.hey  called  for  a 
passing  mark  of  70  based  on  a  perfeci 
score  of  100  in  proposing  a  similar 
plan.  Officials,  however,  would  noi 
say  this  will  be  the  new  passing  level

week  when  the  faculty  will  eniciiain 
[he  siudcnls  in  a  Variety  Show  on

P.M.  1  ickcts  are  on  sale  ai  fiEty  cents

Ihe  benefit  ol  the  World  Student 
Service  Fund. 

The  cast  lor  the  production  includes 
(acuity  members  of  all  dcparlnicnis 
and  the  clfrical  department.  Mu 
and  humor  will  be  featured  as  the 
main  (are  of  the  evening's  show.  Jokes  I 
will  be  specialized,  with  particular 
emphasis  on  coramcniarics  concerning 
Washington  College  life.  Individual 
acts  revealed  for  publication  include 
two  song  and  dance  aci.s,  a  barber 
shop  quartet,  a  dramatic  sketch,  and 
two  satiric  parodies  on  college  life. 

Rehearsals  arc  progressing  behind 
closed  doors,  and  the  faculty  remains 
reticent  about  the  details  of  the  pre- 
ieniation.  Not  until  Wednesday  even- 
ing will  the  students  learn  what  the 
(acuity  has   planned. 

The  business  and  technical  proper- 
ties o(  production  are  being  handled 
by  students  in  a  special  committee  (or

Five  Professors 

Receive  Promotions 

As  a  result  o(  action  taken  by  the 
Board  of  Visitors  and  Governors  here 
last  Saturday,  Bve  members  of  the 
faculty  received  promotions  (rom  the 
rank  of  Asis.stani  Pro(essor  to  that  of 
Associate  Professor.  Those  affected  by 
(be  action  include:  Dr.  Lawrence  Ford 
of  the  Language  Department;  Dr. 
Joseph  McLain  of  Chemistry;  Dean 
Bradley'  of  English;  Mr.-  Bennett  of 
-Mathemaiics;  and  Mr.  Dumschoit  nf 
Pnlitical  Science. 


"TO  BE  OR  NOT  TO  BE" 

The  next  two  weeks  will  decide  the  fate  of  the  Snack  Bar. 
The  action  of  ODK  in  assuming  the  night-time  operation  of  the 
Snack  Bar  is  commendable;  however,  the  success  of  their  action 
rests  entirely  with  the  student  body. 

ODK,  with  the  support  of  the  Student  Advisory  Committee, 
is  out  to  prove  that  the  Snack  Bar  can  be  run  on  a  profitable 
basis  for  two  and  one-half  hours  during  the  evening.  The  other 
participant  in  this  undertaking  is  the  student  body  —  the  final 
verdict  will  be  announced  by  the  cash  register. 

In  short,  the  assumption  that  the  Snack  Bar  can  be  run  on 
a  profitable  basis  at  night  depends  upon  student  patronage  for 
verification.  Unless  the  students  take  this  opportunity  to  support 
the  Snack  Bar,  it  will  close.  In  that  event,  we  will  have  no  one 
to  blame  but  ourselves.

ODK  will  operate  the  Snack  Bar  at

KLiming  Monday,  April  lli.  This  action 
itiulied  from  a  joint  meeting  of  ODK 
.iLul  the  Student  Advisory  Committee 
wiih  Dr.  Gibson  and  Mr.  Dumschoit 
Wednesday  night.  A  special  tnecim| 
111  ODK  Thursday  was  hcjd  to  eon- 
linu  the  action  and  to  put  the  plan 
to  operation. 

Tentative  plans  as  the  Elm  wcnl 
to  press  were  for  the  appointment  of 
a  student  manager  selected  (rom  ODK. 
DilTevent  members  of  ODK  will  serve 
as  manager  on  a  rotation  basis.  The 
job  will  be  entirely  voluntary.  It  was 
proposed  thai  the  Snack  Bar  he  open 
between  the  hours  ol  8:00  P.M.  and 
10:30  P.M. 

The  purpose  of  the  move  was  two- 
fold: (1)  to  have  the  Snack  Bar  opep 
ight  for  the  conicnicnce  of  the 
students  and  (2)  to  prove  that  i^e 
Snack  Bar  can  be  operated  <li)  a  prO 
fitable  basis  during  those  hours. 

This  action  was  proposed  by  £dd!« 
Leonard.  President  of  ODK,  .after  a 
number  of  other  suggestions  had  been 
discussed  by  the  .group.  Undtfr  tHe 
plan,  ODK._  which  lias  the  rcspofisibfc 
lity  for  the  allocation  of  student  lunds 
in  the  absence  of  student  govemmen^, 
will  assume  complete  responsibility  for 
any  financial  loss.  incu)r['ed  during  the 
trial"  period- 
Other  suggestions  iriclilded  the  in- 
siiiuijon  of  a  subsidy  for  the  Snack 
Bar  which  would  be  paid  by  all  re- 
gistere()  students  of  the  college  as  » 
part  of  the  college  activities  fee;  leas- 
ing the  Snack  Bar  as  a  concession  to 
outside  commercial  interests;  the, in- 
stallation of  pin-ball  and  other  coin 
machines  or  games;  and,  finally,  ,a 
conversion  o(  Hodson  Hall  to  a  cafe-* 
teria.  This  last  suggestion,  referred  ^o 
as  the  "Johns  Hopkins  Plan  "  would 
involve  the  operation  of  a  joint  cafe- 
teria —  Snack  Bar  under  one  roof.  It 
was  pointed  out,  however,  thai  this 
plan  might  prove  unsaiLsfactory  in 
that  the  heavy  "between-class"  trade 
would  be  eliminated  due  to  the  in- 
convenient location  o(  Hodson  in  rela- 
tion to  classrooms.  .    . 

The  joint  meeting  was  called  by  Dr. 
Gibson  ^t  the  reijuesi  ol  ODK  for  the 
purpose  of  finding  some  way  to  reopen 
the  Snack  Bar  at  night,  while  show- 
ing a  profit.  Mr.  Dumschoti,  business 
manager  of  the  college,  had  ordered 
the  doors  of  the  Snack  Bar  closed  at 
r.:00  P.M.  c-ITective  April  2.  Ihe  rcaspn 
given  at  that  time  for  the  early  closing

IN  EXPLANATION 

Several  years  ago  a  policy  of  guest  tailor;,  was  formed  whereby 
those  persons  under  consideration  for  the  ELM  editorsWp  could  be 
tried  and  their  worth  proved.  Under  this  system,  guest  editors  are 
invited  by  the  editor  to  publish  the  ELM  one  week  during  April, 

.\t  a  later  date,  the  new  editor  is  appointed  by  the  Board  of 
Public. ition'i.  His  or  her  tenure  begins  immediately  after  the  appoint- 
ment has  been  announced  and  ends  at  the  same  time  the  following 
year. 

This  week's  ELM  was  edited  by  Jane  Bradley.

Dissension 
On  The 
Feature  Page 

By  Tom  Lowe  ' 

Since  we're  all  so  completely  in  the 
dark  as  to  that  enlightening  column 
as  "What's  Newf"  or  "Who's  A  Foo?" 
or  whatever  it  is,  il  would  be  impos- 
sible to  attempt  to  refute  any  particu- 
lar person  in  reference  to  it.  It  would 
be  ridiculous  to  assume  that  Miss 
Metcalfe  or  Bob  Jackson  had  colla 
boratcd  with  Lord  Tennyson  to  com- 
pose that  classic  satire  in  last  week's 
Washington  confidential.  However, 
after  speaking  to  Miss  Metcalfe  she 
has  allowed  mc  to  use  her  name  — 
Surely  for  a  metrical  scheme  —  as- 
ng  that  it  was  she.  This  very  noble 
gcsttuc  arose  from  the  fact  that  we  arc 
relatives  —  or  so  she  claims. 

I,  too.  was  forced  to  resort  to  lifting 
rhyme  schemes,  meter  and  style  — 
such  as  it  is  —  from  a  classic  poet,  I 
choose  Lord  BjTon  —  may  he  continue 
to  rest  in  peace. 
Still  must  1   hear?  —  shall   Metcalfe's 

bawl 
Her    creaking   rhymes    in    Bill    Smith 

Hall, 
And    I    not    write,    lest    haply    these 

reviews 
Should  dub  me  "windy"  or  denounce 

my  muse? 

Prepare    for    rhyme    —    "I'll    publish 

right  or  wTongi 
Fuols  are  my  theme,  let  satire  be  my 

song." 

When     Mackey    (earlier)    did    \enlure 

our 
I  he    path    to    the    tripes,    ne'er    trod 

ifure 
(Or  so  il  seems  she'd  have  us  think) 
\\c,  at  Washington  were  tickled  pink. 

Mwnory  of  her  wit  (})  did  melt  and 

pass 
But  now  they  both  return  —  en  masse 
i  he  loaded  press  '  ncaih  hei-  laboui 

groans 
\    do  her  readeis  "emitting  wails  and 

moans. 

1  r  she  herself  had  wri  tt  l  h:u  verse 
Her  reputatitm'd  suffer  none  the  worse 
But    it    seem>;    the    vices   of    her    age 

demand 
A  keener  cjuiit.  a  steadier  hand. 

To    her    repacious    wit    let's    turn 
Sufficed  to  say  she  TRIES  to  bum 
The  hide  from  off  her  masculine  foe 
But     why    attack,    dear    •'Sweei    Tom 
Lowe." 

As  gentle  a   creature   you'll  never  see 
(She   c\cn    his   cousin    claimed    to   be) 
A  kindly  person,  a  sensitive  soul. 
How  related  to  this  red  headed  ghoul. 

The  recent  rift  has  shown  tis  all  — 
As  trees  arc  measured  by  shadow^  that 

fall 
So  the  sighs  to  which    this  great  man 

Is    shown     by     the    enemies    he    over- 
throws. 

In  this  case  'twould  he  a  waste  of  time 
To   answer   so  silly  a   little   rhyme 
Why  should  her  remarks  be  dignified 
By  lowering  himself  to  even   reply? 

So  Metcalfe.  I'll  tell  sou  this  and  .stop 
On  Water  Str"et  you  MAY  be  tops 
"    [   now  you're  stepping  out  of  your

To  the  Editor  of  the  ELM,  Sir: 

Concerning  the  article  on  Sunday 
movies  in  last  Week's  ELM  (.April  b, 
1951),  I  would  like  to  make  the  follow- 

(1)  In  addition  to  reasons  given  to 
the  Secretary  of  the  Mt.  Vernon  Lite- 
rary Society,  Miss  Newman,  for  noi 
approving  Sunday  movies,  I  stated  ai 
the  lime  that  1  was  not  certain  wheth 
er  we  could  run  Sunday  movies  for 
profit  on  Ihc  campus.  Since  then,  tkc 
Stale's  Attorney  has  told  me  that  Sun- 
day movies  are  not  permissible  in 
Kent  County  at  the  present.  This  would 
include  movies  on  the  campus 
which  a  charge  was  made.  In  fact,  he 
pointed  out  that  movies  for  profit  ai 
any  tinw  would  be  subject  to  the  fcde. 

I  tax  of  20%. 

(2)  The  ELM  article  also  staled  that 
the  Mt.  Vernon  Society  had  sought 
aid  from  the  ODK  —  administered  s 
dent  activities  fund  in  order  to  bring 
the  Barter  1  heatrc  here,  and  (by  irri' 
plication)  to  clear  up  the  deficit  from 
last  year.  It  is  true  that  Mt.  Vernon 
made  this  request.  It  is  also  true 
that  DDK  stated  that  Mt.  VemoQ 
must  show  its  books  (as  all  other 
organiutioii.s  do,  according  to  ODK 
requirements)  and  have  ihein  audited. 
Ml.  Vernon  has  never  complied  with 
ihj.f  simple  request.  Although  student 
members  of  ODK  vote  appropriations, 
the  records  of  ODK  which  I  keep  as 
Secretary  (the  position  of  Secretary 
goes  to  a  faculty  member  by  national 
ODK  regulations)  show  that  ODK  was/ 
is  entirely  sympathetic  to  the  Ml. 
Vcruon  situation  and  expressed  a  will- 
ingness to  aid  to  the  extent  such  aid 
seemed  justified,  but  only  after  Ml. 
Vernon  met  the  same  requirements 
e\acted  for  all  other  oiganiiations. 

I  was  personally  dubious  of  the  wis- 
dom  of  trying  to  iwing  a  Barter  Theattc 
production  this  year  inasmuch  as  it 
was  a  financial  failure  last  year  when 
we  had  appro.fimately  one  hundred 
more  students  than  now  to  whom  to 
sell  tickets. 

As  in  my  letter  to  Miss  Ncwnam.  I 
ant  to  state  again  that  I  am  ready  ai 
any  time  to  help  work  out  something 
for  Mt.  Vernon  along  lines  desired  bv 
hem  and  consistent  with  college  polic^ 
and  commuaity  requirencDts.

Fine  Stick  Handlers 
After  their  twin  killing  of  Hofstra  College  and  Adelphi,  the 
Shore  lacrosse  squad  was  designated  by  one  Long  Island  newspaper 
as  having  a  polished  club  possessing  fine  stick  handlers.  Coach  Char- 
lie Clark  believes  that  Hofstra  College  has  the  potentialities  of 
developing  into  a  well-rounded  group  due  to  their  high  spirit  and 
willing  play.  It  seems  that  Adelphi  employed  rough  tactics  which 
the  Sho  team  soon  erased,  then  forcing  the  New  Yorkers  to  play  our 
style  of  lacrosse, 

EUiason  To  Coach  Netnien 

Kenney  Howard  turned  in  a  time  of  10  seconds  for  the  hundred 
last  Saturday  which  is  an  indication  that  "The  Jet"  will  do  a  little 
Bying  this  season.  Promising  newcomers  to  the  Sho  thinclad  clan  are 
George  Eichelberger,  halfmiler;  Jim  Schaffer,  pole  vaulter:  and  Bob 
Appleby,  sprinter  "People  like  to  throw  objects,"  and  Lee  Cook 
isn't  doing  bad  with  that  16  lb.  shot  put. 

Tom  Elliason  of  Chesterlown,  who  coached  the  W.C.  nctmen 
last  year,  has  agreed  to  once  again  take  the  reins  of  the  racketeers. 
Tom  has  been  rated  "one  of  the  best"  and  this  year's  squad  is  ex- 
pected to  match  his  rating.

Athlete 
Of  Week 


In  a  series  of  weekly  articles.  The 
Elm  will  select  one  athlete  who  has 
contributed  much  to  Washington  Col 
lege  in  the  way  of  sports  and  all- 
around  athletic  ability.  This  week's 
honor  goes  to  ihe  "Bronx  Kid",  Ken. 
ney  Sullivan. 

For  an  athlete  who  Aid  not  partici- 
pate in  sporti  while  in  high  school, 
Renncy  has  certainly  highly  developed 
himself  here  at  Washington  College 
as  an  outstanding  basketball  and  base- 
ball player.  Graduating  from  Cardinal 
Hayes  High  School  In  Ihe  Bronx.  N.Y., 
he  has  pitched  the  Shoremen  to  eight 
baseball  viciorlei  and  held  a  starting 
berth  on  the  varsity  cage  squad  dur- 
ing his  first  2  years  here  at  the  Ches- 
tertown  school.  Sullivan  finds  ii  quite 
a  disappointment  that  the  school  has 
dropped  the  diamond  spon,  however, 
be  has  decided  to  pitch  for  Milling- 
ton  on  the  Eistem  Shore  until  school 
u  over,  and  then  play  in  his  home 
town.  As  for  his  most  Thrilling  mo- 
ment in  basketball,  the  modest  junior 
will  never  forget  his  game  winning 
•a  shot  in  -49'  against  Catholic  Un. 
In  the  fading  seconds  of  the  nip  and 
tuck  contest,  guard  Sullivan  hit  the 
nets  as  the  buircr  sounded,  placing 
the  Shoremen  on  top  by  one  marker. 

Baseball  fans  may  remember  the 
Bronx  lefthander's  mo^t  outstanding 
performance  here  at  Kibler  Field  last 
year  when  he  pitched  a  calm  6-4  win 
over  Johns  Hopkins.  Kcnuey  also  led 
Victories  over  Western  Md.  and  Ran. 
doIph-Macon,  slamming  a  homer  in 
the  second  game  of  the  twin  bill 
against  the  Yellow  Jackets.

Lacrosse  coach   Pcrc  Qelficld  of  the 
University    of    Pennsylvania    recently 
stated,    'An    accomplished    basketball 
plajcr    is    a    potential    lacrosse   star 
Many    controversies    ha*e    begun    over 

fact,  however,  the  Maroon 
Black  lacrosse  mentor,  Charles 
Clark  dcfiniiely  advocates  this  theory 
and  cites  many  undisputable  reasons 
for  doing  w. 

Similarities  Cited 
Coach  Clark  believes  thai  a  great 
ng  for  I  similarity  lies  in  the  pick-off  which 
i  must  be  stationary  when  executed.  It 
is  the  same  in  baikctball;  if  the  pick- 
off  ii  not  stationary  a  foul  is  usually 
called.  Short  accurate  passes  have 
broken  up  many  defenses  on  the  la- 
crosse field  as  they  have  on  the  hard- 
wo>id.  "Ihe  court  >purt  sirevscs  ic 
houuds  a,  does  the  man  behind  the 
lacrosse  goal  who  picks  up  loo-^e  shots. 
enabling  his  team  to  retain  their  of- 
fensive drive. 

In  dcfemc,  often  times  a  stick  team 
will  fall  into  a  zone,  usually  when 
there  is  an  eMra  man  on  thi 
ing  team.  Many  pla^s  may 
set  up  on  the  field  and  completed  in 
ct>urt  fashion.

Pessimistically  viewing  the  situation, 
coaches  Ed  Athcy   and  Dim   Moniero 
find  it  difficult  to  determine  the  true 
strength    of    the    Sho'men.    Although 
the    Cardinals    dropped    ihcir    ir 
dual   meet    to    the   Quantico    Marines

Island,  N.Y.,  where  they  ama.((ed  vic- 
tories over  the  colleges  of  Hofstra 
(10-2)  and  Adelphi  (17-4). 

In  Friday's  contest  with  Hofstra, 
Rip  Wood  opened  the  scoring  on  a 
pass  from  Graham  Menzies.  .After 
Buddy  Corbctt  of  Hofstra  missed  a  20

nard  set  Wayne  Milncr  up  for  a  goal 
a-t  the  first  quarter  ended:  W.C,  3 
and  Hofstra  0. 

As  the  second  stanza  opened,  Mil- 
ncr  scored  his  second  lally.  followed  by 
Rip  with  his  third.  With  a  5-0  advant- 
age, Coach  Charlie  Clark  substituted 
"Waeschc,  Durry.  Lipsiiz^  Cadden,  Mc- 
Curdy.  Elliot,  Curaor,  and  Dyer  into 
the  lineup.  Dick  Cadden  quickly  scor- 
ed from  the  side  and  the  score  st(x>d 
GO   at    half-lime. 

Midway  in  the  third  quarter,  Men- 
lies  con^  crted  a  loose  ball  into  a 
lally,  and  added  another  moments 
later  on  a  pass  from  Larry  Leonard.

Shoremen.  He  helped  himself  to  20 
and  22  points  in  the  two  games  and

meet  the  .Adelphi   len. 

^V'ashington  wasted  no  time  in  open- 
ing the  scoring  as  Larry  Leonard  fired 
one  into  the  net  when  just  26  seconds 
of  ihe  game  had  elapsed.  With  less 
than  a  mmutc  having  passed,  Eddie 
Leonard  swished  one  and  the  score 
stood  2-0.  The  Sho'men  stretched

by  Wood  f2).  Larry  Wescott,  John 
Grim,   and   Graham    Menzies. 

Although  the  Sho'men  controlled  the 
ball  mosi  of  the  second  frame,  the 
scoring  was  about  even.  After  Mcnrics 
scored  for  the  second  time.  Chuck 
Waesche  rippled  the  net  on  a  solo 
drive  through  ihc  Adelphi  defense. 
Harry  McDonald  finally  broke  the  ice 
for  the  losers  as  he  scooped  a  loose 
ball  inio  ihe  net.  making  the  half- 
time  score  read  W.C.  9  and  .Adelphi  I. 
Andy  Liivinoff  opened  the  third 
round  scoring  on  a  fine  shot  from  ihe

■■(a)  The  teacher  is  entitled  to  full 
freedom  in  research  and  in  the 
publication  of  results,  subject  to 
the  adequate  performance  of  his 
other  academic  duties:  but  re- 
search for  pecuniar)'  return 
should  he  based  upon  an  under- 
standing with  the  authorities  of 
the  institution. 
"(b)  The  icachei  is  entitled  to  free- 
dom in  the  classroom  in  discusv 
ing  his  subject,  but  he  should 
be  careful  not  to  introduce  into 
his  leaching  controversial  matter 
which  has  no  relation  to  his  sub- 
ject. Limitations  of  academic 
freedom  because  of  religious  or 
other  aims  of  the  institution

he  should  be  free  from  institu- 
tional censorship  or  discipline, 
but  his  special  position  in  the 
community  imposes  special  obli-

an  educational  officer,  he  should 
remember  that  the  public  may 
judge  his  profession  and  his  in- 
stitution bv  his  utterances.  Hence 
he  should  at  all  limes  be  accu-

the  opinions  of  others,  and  should 
make  e^erv  effort  to  indicate  that

Faculty  Stages 
Variety  Show 


Members  of  ilic  faculty  anil  admiii' 
iscration  joined  forces  on  Wednesday 
evening  in  a  Variety  Show  for  the 
bcnclit  of  the  World  Student  Service 
Fund  iirescmed  before  a  caj>»city 
crowd  in  William  Smith  Hall.  SiN 
different  selections  were  performed 
during  the  evening's  entertainment. 

The  highlight  of  the  show  was  a 
reversal  of  student  -  faculty  relations 
in  which  the  faculty  imitated  their 
pri^e  students  in  a  typical  classroom 
scene  at  Washington  College.  The 
"students"  consisted  of  Mr.  Padgett, 
Mr,  Krishcr,  Dr.  Gordon,  Dr.  Knipp, 
Mrs,  Simpers,  Mr,  Arnold,  Mr.  Meigs, 
and  Mr.  Bicrly-  The  role  of  the  pro- 
fessor was  taken  by  Dr.  Newlin.- After 
a  musical  interlude  by  Dorothy  Hop- 
kins  and  Mr.  Henry  portraying  Jo 
StalTord  and  Tony  Martin,  the  class- 
room scene  was  rccnacicd  with  a  facul- 
;ty  interpretation  of  how  a  class  ^hould 
be  conducted. 

Something  different  in  the  way  of 
musical  groups  on  campus,  a  barber 
shop  quartet,  comprised  of  Dr.  Ciibson, 
Mr.  Rarnctt,  Mr,  Henry,  and  Mr, 
Foster,  appeared  on  the  progiam  dress- 
ed in  old-fashioned  clothes  to  sing 
"in  the  Evening  by  the  Moonlight", 
"Clementine",  and  "Bicycle  Buit  for 
Two."  Illustrating  the  last  number, 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Raihje  were  presented 
riding  a  tandctn  bicycle.  The  quartet 
was  accompanied  on  the  piano  by  Mrs, 
Gibson. 

Two  oihtr  selections  having  Wash- 
ington College  as  their  theme  were  a 
nuisical  number  entitled  "Middle  Hall 
at  F.ighi"  and  a  skit  in  Norwegian 
dialect.  In  the  former  act,  Dorothy 
Hopkins  and  Mrs.  \Valbert  portrayed 
two  college  girls  in  a  dormitory  wait 
itig  for  iheir  dates  to  amve.  In  thi 
latter,  Mrs.  Opgrande  as  Mrs.  Larson 
related  to  Mr.  Brnbaker  as  Uncle 
Chris  the  experiences  she  had  while 
visiting  her  daughter  at  Washington 
College, 

Diikc  Case  served  as  Master  of  Cere- 
monies for  the  Variety  Show.  Mrs. 
(lark  and  Mrs.  Ford  afforded  enter- 
[aiiniicnt  between  acw  as  twu  artists. 
Lighting  for  the  perfonnantc  was 
under  the  direction  of  the  members 
of  the  Washington  Players,  Mr.  Brn- 
baker handled  the  faculty  arrange- 
ments, and  the  coinniiitec  fi>r  the 
World  Student  Service  Fund  was  in 
ihargt;  of  ticket  Sales  and  other  phases 
of  production. 

In  an  interview  after  Ihc  perform- 
ance Elinor  Guslafson,  chairman  of 
ilic  tonunittoe  for  the  \V.S.S.F.,  express. 
cd  the.  opinion  that  the  show  was  a 
complete  success.  On  )>ehalf  of  the 
student  body,  she  extended  thanks  to* 
all  of  the  faculty  members  and  wives 
wjin   paiiiiipyit'd    in    ihe   progiam.

HE  GETS  THINGS  DONE 

After  a  long  debate  with  himself,  the  Editor-in-Chief  of 
the  ELM  has  decided  to  use  the  editorial  space  to  publicly 
back  one  of  the  candidates  for  president  of  next  year's  Senior 
Class.  This  candidate  is  Jim  Hacbcl. 

Jim  has  stated  th.it  if  he  is  elected  President  of  next  year's 
Senior  Class  there  will  be  no  profit  whatsoever  made  on  the 
distribution  of  caps  and  gowns  to  the  graduates.  He  feels  that 
the  honor  of  being  President  of  the  class  Li  enough.  Prior  to 
this  year,  it  was  said  that  the  distribution  of  caps  and  gowns  to 
seniors  was  a  lucrative  racket  for  those  in  charge.  This  year's 
Senior  Class  President,  Sandy  Jones,  took  a  step  fo^^va^d  by 
proposing  in  Constitutional  form  that  a  maximum  of  $1.00 
per  student  be  charged.  (This  was  passed  by  a  majority  of 
this  year's  Senior  Class).  Mr.  Hacbcl's  proposal  is  the  ultimate. 

Another  factor  in  Jim  Hacbel's  favor  is  that  he  owes  no 
allegiance  to  any  political  group  on  campus.  Mcist  of  us  realize 
that  political  machines  are  a  necessary  evil,  but  it  is  my  belief 
that  Hacbel  will  think  of  his  duty  to  his  classmates  first  and 
not  be  sidetracked  by  any  "political"  maneuvering. 

Still  another  thing  in  Hacbel's  favor  is  his  record  in  camp- 
us extra-curricular  actJvitio.  He  has  earned  the  reputation  of 
one  who  gets  things  done. 

So  remember  —  when  you  go  to  the  polls  Wednesday,  cast 
your  vote  for  JIM  H.\EBEL  and  rest  assured  that  you  hzvc 
voted  for  the  best  man.  He  gets  things  done.

Stick  Wielders  Capture  3rd  Straight 


Mason-Dixon  Preview 

Now  that  the  Maryland  spring  sports'  program  is  progressing  at 
a  rapid  pace,  \^■e  might  take  a  survey  of  what  a  few  of  the  other 
Mason-Dixon  Conference  schools  possess  in  the  line  of  baseball, 
[aerobe,. track,  golf,  and  tennis  talent. 

Loyola  College,  defending  league  baseball  Champions,  opened 
tiie  '50  campaign  by  blanking  American  Un.,  10-0  behind  the  top- 
iwtch  pitching  of  Danny  Donohue.  Western  Md.  fashioned  a  10-1 
beating  over  Mt.  St.  Mary's -as  Jerry  Phipps  limited  the  Mounts  to 
3  hits  while  collecting  the  same  number  for  himself  at  the  plate. 
Towson  Teachers  made  it  two  straight  diamond  victories  of  the  new 
season  as  it  edged  American  U.,  6  to  3  behind  the  5th  inning  homer 
of  basketball  star,  Bucky  Kimmett. 

Lo>x>la  Dubs  Balto.  U. 

Attackman  Frank  Kimmel  tallied  four  goals  and  assisted  in  four 
others  as  the  Greyhound  slickmen  defeated  the  Un.  of  Baltimore, 
13  to  8.  Former  Shoreman,  Bill  Hartje  held  a  first  string  berth  for 
the  Bees'  defense  while  Joe  McFadden  and  Bob  Beasley  scored  seven 
of  the  loserj'  eight  goals.  Western  Md.  was  decisively  trounced,  17-0 
by  Penn  State  who  in  turn  were  outmaneuvered  by  Navy,  10-1. 

Loyob  College  not  only  achieved  a  baseball  victory,  but  their 
trackmen  captured  a  triangular  affair  against  American  Un.  and 
Gallaudet,  as  Greyliound  speedster,  Joe  Paszek,  was  accidently  spik- 
ed. He  severed  his  achilles  tendon  which  unfortunately  forces  him 
out  of  this  >'ear'3  thinclad  picture.  Meanwhile,  Johns  Hopkins  was 
thoroughly  conquered,  87-39  by  a  powerful  Haverford  cinder  squad 
of  the  Middle-Atlantic  Conference. 

On  The  Home  Front 

Western  Md.  won  four  of  six  matches  to  pick  up  its  second 
straight  golf  victory  of  the  season  defeating  Dickinson,  6  to  2,  while 
the  Lo)rT3la  College  tennis  team  recorded  a  9  to  0  net  win  over 
American  Un.  This  marked  their  second  success  of  the  1951  M-D 
tennis  schedule. 

The  Washington  College  spring  program  seems  to  be  progress- 
ing quite  successfully  as  the  lacrosse  team  embarks  on  their  southern 
tour  with  four  straight  triumphs  under  their  wing.  Meanwhile,  the 
track  clan  encounters  the  B.O.C.  at  home  tomorrow,  after  their  re- 
cent victory  over  Pennsylvania  Military  Academy.  Although  the  net- 
men  wfre  rained  out  before  their  Catholic  U.  match,  they  inauini- 
rated  their  season  with  a  triumph  over  Towson  Teachers.  Wc  hope 
these  many  accomplisment^i  are  indictativc  of  the  future  athletic 
achievements  of  the  Sho'  teams  this  spring. 


Delicate   Workmanship 


A  recent  aniclc  appearing  in  the 
magazine  ^cctinn  of  The  Sunday  Sun 
portrayed  the  detailed  prc<i»ion-likc 
woric  which  is  put  into  the  production 
of  a  lacrosse  stick.  The  greater  pan  ol 
the  worlds  supply  is  made  by  Indians 
living  in  the  Si.  Lawrence  Riier  where 
this  induMry  has  been  tabbed  as  one 
o{  the  oldeti  on  the  continent  of  North 
America. 

A  fuJl  year  is  necessary  to  transform 
a  hicLory  tog  into  a  lacTOiise  stick  in 
which  drying,  splitting,  gouging,  steam, 
ing.  bending,  carving,  sanding,  boring 
and  stringing  arc  included  in  the 
Bccewsarj'  operations.  Each  stick  must 
be  bent  by  hand,  as  machinery  often 
Splits  and  snaps  ihcm  in  half.  After 
lie  Slicks  have  been  shaped  and 
Mnoothcd,  the  holes  are  txtred  for  the 
lacings  and  the  Indian  women  then 
proceed  in  lacing  them  which  is  done 
in  delicate  complex  patterns.  Materials 
used  here  include  cowhide,  linen 
thread  and  a  special  type  of  gut  made 
by  the  Mohawk  Indians  ihcmsehes. 
It  is  a  well  known  fact  that  no  two 
lacros>e  sticks  are  the  same  and  no 
two  women  will  string  them  the  same. 

Once  completed,  these  intricate 
works  of  art  arc  shipped  to  a  Baltimore 
sporting  goods  house  and  from  there 
are  distributed  in  qu.intities  of  10,000 
a  year  throughout  the  U.S.  AViih  the 
possible  exception  of  the  rug-weaving 
industry,  there  is  no  other  full-scale 
industry  to  compare  with  it  anywhere 
in  the  m()dern  world.  Therefore,  the 
next  time  you  pick  up  a  lacrosse  slick, 
look  at  it  carefully  —  there  is  a  lot 
more  to  that  piece  of  wood  and  gui 
than  you  can  ever  imagine. 


Pick-up  Team 
Loses,  2-1 


Washington  College's  baseball  aspi- 
rants, without  a  collegiate  sport,  play- 
ed a  team  of  Philadelphia  Athletic 
minor  league  rookies  .it  Centrcville  on 
Wednesday,  .\pril  II.  The  future  pro- 
fc-tsioDaU,  edged  the  Collegians  2-1  on 
a  two  run  homer  by  the  giant  first 
ba'>eman  through  the  offerings  ot 
K.enny  Sullivan,  in  the  fourth  inning. 

Centreville  was  the  scene  of  the 
.\ihletics'  rookie  spring  training  camp. 
Forty-two  young  ball  players  from  all 
over  the  Eastern  ;ieciion  of  the  country 
were  selecte  dand  sent  through  a  rug- 
ged eleven  day  workout.  The  ^ur- 
vivor«  of  the  training  will  be  sent  to 
Class  C  and  D  ball  clubs  of  the  Athle- 
tics'   minor    league    farm    system. 

Playing  for  the  college  nine  were 
Wes  Edwards,  catcher;  Babe  Johnson, 
first  base;  John  Cox.  second  base;  Doug 
Tillcy,  ihoristop;  John  Santuiti,  third 
base;  Joe  Ingarra,  left  held;  Buddy 
lirower,  center  field;  Gene  Handsberry. 
right;  and  Kenny  Sullivan  and  Jim 
Kricgcr_  pilcheis,  Sullivan  pitched  five 
innings,  giving  up  two  runs,  four  hits, 
one  walk,  and  striking  out  three. 
Krciger  hnished  the  game  and  allow- 
ed only  three  hits,  two  bascj  on  balls, 
while   striking  out    twt^ 

Santulli  clouted  two  singles  to  lead 
the  school  hoys  at  bat,  while  Hans- 
bcrty,  Cox,  Johnson  and  Ingarra  al.so 
contributed  base  hits. 


Thinclads 
Bow  To  C.  U. 


Although  the  W.C.  cindcrkickers 
scored  eight  first  places,  their  lack 
of  depth  proved  fatal,  as  Catholic 
University  jjcorcd  a  71  to  51  dual  meet 
victory  over  the  Shoremen  last  Satur- 
day in  the  Cardinal  stadium. 

Kenney  Howard  lived  up  to  cxpccia- 
tioru  as  he  racked  up  22  points,  cap- 
turing firsis  in  the  100  and  220  yd. 
dashes,  Clw  low  hurdles  and  the  broad 
jump,  while  tying  with  Lee  Cook  for 
second  place  in  the  high  jump.  "The 
Jet's"  unbelievable  feat  was  only 
matched  once  in  the  history  of  the 
Shore  school  when  Gibby  Young  scored 
30  markers  in  I93,i. 

XwiDey    Capture*    4W 

Captain  Jim-Twilley  ripped  off  an 
excellent  time  of  51.7  seconds  as  he 
edged  out  Sam  Sefeit  in  the  qUartcr- 
raile  run.  Jim  then  placed  third  in 
the  half-mile  and  anchored  third  in 
mile  relay  team.  Jim  Fields  of  C.U. 
displayed  unexpected,  yet  remarkable 
running  ability  as  he  dominated  the 
mile  and  SflO  yard  rum  in  the  times 
of  4  minutes  42  seconds  and  2  minute? 
3  seconds  respectively. 

Ells  Bo>-d  skimmed  the  120  yd.  high 
hurdler  in  17  seconds  to  gain  top 
honors  and  placed  third  in  the  220 
yd.  low  hurdles.  Tom  Benson  follow- 
ed Bill  Srhmidt  of  C.t:.  across  the 
finish  hne  for  secortd  place  honors  in 
the  2  mile  run,  while  placing  third  in 
the  paiftscaking  one  mile  grind. 
Cook  Dual  Winner 

Lee  Cook,  participating  in  five  field 
events,  walked  off  with  two  victories, 
one  second  and  one  third  place,  as  he 
chalked  up  13  points  to  the  Maroon 
and  Black  cause.  Lee  threw  ihe  16  lb. 
ihot.  37'1I  '  and  the  di<cu(.  M2'9"  for 
his  finest  performances  of  the  dav.  He 
followed  this  with  a  second  place  tic 
in  the  high  jump  and  a  third  place  in 
ihr  nmning  broad  jump. 

Russ  Johnson,  Redbird  Mason-Dixon 
high  jump  champion,  leaped  C  feci 
which  easily  scored  a  first  in  the  high 
jump  and  then  bounded  II  feet  for 
another  triumph  in  the  pole  vault. 

The  cloudy  afternoon  was  termi- 
nated as  the  home  team  ran  a  5 
minute  33  second  one  mile  relay  to 
conclude  the  dual  meet  victoriously. 
The  Shore  relay  squad,  composed  ot 
George  Eichelbergcr.  Jim  Schaifer. 
Howard  and  Twilley  was  by  no  means 
inert  running  this  finale  event,  as  the 
"Capital  City "  team  encumberinglv 
surmounted  the  visitors'  final  threat. 


Athlete 
Of  Week 


The  Connecticut  Yankee",  as  many 
of  his  friends  have  tabbed  him,  is  a 
suitable  nickname  for  John  Santulli. 
football  and  baseball  spndout  for  the 
Maroon  and  Black.  This  180  lb.,  6  foot 
husky  haib  from  Waterbury,  Connecti- 
cut which  accounts  for  half  of  his 
nickname.  The  other  half  may  be  due 
to  the  fact  that  John  is  a  New  York 
Yankee  rooter  "all  the  way",  and  strict- 
ly  a  Joe  Dimaggio  fan.  He  is  often 
found  defending  his  favorite  diamond 
team  in  hotty  conte.icd  disputes  with 
his  roommate,  "Swish"  Semele. 

The  very  modest  sophomore  began 
his  athletic  career  at  Wilby  High 
School  in  his  home  town,  where  he  was 
a  three  letter  athlete  participating  in 
football,  baseball  and  basketball. 
John's  record  on  the  Shore  is  quite 
commendable  as  he  has  played  two 
seasons  at  end  on  the  grid  squad  and 
last  year  played  the  "Hot  Corner"  for 
Coach  Appichella's  nine,  and  U  novi 
holding  that'  position  for  Millinglun 
of  the  Bi-State  League. 

An  absolute  baseball  addict.  John 
experienced  his  most  thrilling  moment 
at  Randolph-Macon  last  year  when  he 
clouted   two   homers  to  clinch  a  Sho' 


Baltimore  Out 
For  Revenge 
Tomorrow 


When  the  Baltimore  Olympic  Track 
and  Field  Club  invades.  Chcsteriown 
tororrow  afternoon,  they  undoubtedly 
will  be  out  to  avenge  their  78  to  38 
defeat  by  the  Sho'men  last  season. 

The  coach,  manager,  traintrr  and  par- 
ticipant of  the  B.O.C,  Bill  Jimcson, 
has  added  coiuidcrable  strength  to  his 
'50  squad.  His  newest  addition  to  the 
team  is  Beet-footed  Merwin  (Tex) 
Carter,  a  schoolboy  seruaiion  from  San 
Antonio,  lexas.  Hailed  as  one  of  the 
"brightest  prospects  on  the  local  track 
and  field  horiion."  Carter  excelb  in 
record-breaking  perforEoances  in  the 
high  and  low  hurdle  events.  Id  addi- 
tion to  this,  "Tex"  is  a  12  fool  pole- 
vaulier  and  a  6  foot  high  jutapcr. 
Ftaging  OiMmce  Ace 

Frank  Flaging,  ruancr-up  to  Filmorc 
Dr)den  in  the  1951  Del  Mar  Cross- 
country Championships,  heads  the 
mile  and  two  mile  entries  in  tomor- 
row's dual  meet.  Flaging  is  backed  by 
dimJnuitivc  George  Brown,  former 
Ma>on-Dixon  Crois-Country  champion 
and  ex-Loyola  distance  star.  Not  to  be 
forgotten  is  Lea  Curry,  Johns  Hopkins 
graduate  who  has  just  arrived  m  the 
U.  S.  after  visiting  his  home  in  Eng

50'   Review 

As  we  glance  into  the  past  1950 
track  campaign,  many  fans  will  re- 
member the  cinder  kicking  Sho'man 
Larry  Brandenburg  and  Mickey  Hub- 
bard- Ihcie  former  Maroon  and  Black 
aces  will  be  clad  in  B.O.C.  togi  come 
Saturday  running  the  middle  distance 
and  sprint  e\ents  as  they  did  on  the 
Washington  College  championship 
teams  of    Vi  and   '50. 

Dashman  f^cnney  Howard  may  be 
pushed  in  the  hundred  by  Stanley 
Becket  ot  Syracuse  University  who  ii 
co-holder  of  the  1.C.4-A.  60  yard  dash 
title. 

It  looks  3^  if  the  Baltimore  Club 
is  out  for  revenge  tomorrow,  but  track 
fans  can  be  sure  of  one  thing  — 
"come  hell  or  high  water"  the  Shore- 
men will  give  each  B.O.C.  ihincJiid, 
"u  race  to  the  finish. "

Is  Ready 


Last  Saturday  the  Shore  tennis  team 
journeyed  to  Wilmington  for  their 
trials  prior  to  their  first  match  ot  the 
1951  season.  The  new  courts  are  now 
in  top  shape  and  the  racketeers  can 
swing  into  action.  The  match  that  was 
scheduled  with  Catholic  L'nhersity  last 
Monday  was  postponed  to  the  2Jth  of 
this  month  due  to  the  muddy  condi- 
tions which  presailcd  last   week. 

The  number  one  spot  went  to  Bruce 
Wycoft  with  Jack  Smith  and  Al  Za- 
iosky  following  in  second  and  third 
positions.  The  remaining  order  of  the 
trials  arc  as  follows;  Bill  Brandt,  Gary 
Wycoff,  Bill  Murray  and  Tony  Tonian. 
The  doubles  have  been  set  up  with 
Gary  and  Smitiv  in  the  No.  I  set  and 
.Murray   and   Zaiosky   in    the   No.   2. 

Other  than  their  Mason-Di.xon 
matches,  the  nctmen  have  been  trying 
to  arrange  matches  with  West  Cheser, 
Wilson  S.  Teachers  and  .\raerican  Uni-

ED  RYIE 

The  Washington  College  community  suifered  a  great 
shock  and  a  grievous  loss  this  week  in  the  tragic  death  of 
Ed  Rylc. 

Those  of  us  who  knew  him  best  are  beginiung  to  realize 
that  we  have  lost  a  fine  friend;  his  feUow  students  and  class- 
mates will  learn,  witii  each  passing  day,  that  they  have  lost  one 
of  the  best  of  their  number. 

Always  conservative  in  thought  and  action,  Ed  provided 
a  mature  and  steadying  influence  in  the  organizations  to  whidt 
he  gave  so  much  of  his  time  and  effort.  Wc  of  the  ELM  came 
to  rely  on  Ed;  he  never  failed  us.  Intensely  loyal  to  these  groups, 
and  to  his  friends;  unselfish  in  his  attitude  and  his  actions,  Ed 
represented  the  best  —  as  student,  as  friend,  and  as  a  man. 

We'll  miss  you,  Ed. 


Hodson  HaU 
Changes  By 
Dr.  Gibson 


Plans  to  alleviate  the  conditions  in 
Hodson  Hall  were  revealed  to  the  stu- 
dents by  Dr,  Gibson  in  a  special  meet- 
ing of  the  student   body  on  Tuesday 

Six  defmite  measures  were  presented 
which  the  students  are  requested  to 
follow.  These  arc: 

1.  Men  arc  to  wear  coats  and  ties  to 
the  evening  meal  and  Sunday 
dinner, 

2.  Girls  arc  to  dress  in  a  becoming 
fashion, 

3.  Students  are  to  remain  quiet  and 
standing  during    the   blessing. 

4.  Goo<l  maimers  are  to  be  used 
throughout  the  entire  meal. 

5.  Supervisors  arc  to  be  in  charge 
during  the  meal  and  will  handle 
all  misconduct. 

6.  .\  seating  plan  will  t>e  adopted  for 
all  students,  but  will  not  deprive 
them  of  sitting  with  friends. 

In  an  interview  after  his  talk.  Dr. 
Gibson  said,  "1  realize  that  this  is  a 
two  way  affair.  While  the  conduct  is 
not  what  it  should  be  in  the  dining 
han_  some  of  the  complaints  of  the 
students  have  a  legitimate  basis,  and 
studies  arc  being  made  of  the  food, 
cleanliness,  and  service  in  Hodson 
Hall."  He  requested  that  students  re- 
port to  the  supervisors  any  conditions 
which  they  feel  are  unfavorable,  and 
these  in  turn  will  be  submitted  to  Dr. 
Gibson  to  make  adjustments  where  it 
seems  necessary  to  do  so. 


Snack  Bar 
Reopens 


ODK  has  started  operating  the 
Snack  Bar  from  8:00  to  10:30  P.M. 
on  a  two  week  trial  basis,  beginning 
last  Wednesday  night.  The  night  ses- 
sions under  the  student  management 
will    run    until    Wednesday.    May    9. 

The  action  was  taken  following  a 
joint  meeting  of  ODK  and  the  student 
advisory  board  with  Dr.  Gibson  and 
Ml,  Dumscliutt.  The  meeting,  request- 
ed by  ODK  because  of  student  "g'''P«" 
about  the  Snack  Bar  closing,  resulted 
in  the  temporary  arrangement  made 
by  ODK. 

In  an  announcement  made  before 
the  Elm  went  to  press,  president  Eddie 
Leonard  slated,  "We  want  the  students 
to  realize  that  the  night  opening  is 
only  on  temporary  basis  and  that  if 
ODK  is  not  successful  in  this  venture, 
the  Snack  Bar  will  resume  its  former 
business  hours,  closing  at  5:00  P.M. 
every  afternoon."  However,  he  also 
stated  that  if  the  students  si 
enough  enthusiasm  in  keeping  the 
Sn.-tck  Bar  open  that  it  will  conti 
under  student  management  for  the 
rest  of  the  year,  provided  there  is  no 
money  lost. 

1  he  plans  for  the  night  management 
of  the  bar  include  a  manager,  picked 
from  ODK,  to  supervise  the  operation 
each  night.  Thb  will  be  run  on  a  n>- 
tation  basis  for  the  nest  two  weeks. 
Two  student  workers  will  also  be  on 
hand  to  wail  on  customers.  The  siu- 
dent  manager  will  be  on  an  entirely 
voluntary    basis.

Two  Faculty  Members,  Guest 
Injured  Early  Wednesday 

Edson  R.  Ryle,  Editor-in-Chief  of  the  ELM,  was  fatally  injured 
in  an  auto  accident  at  approximately  3:30  A.M.  Wednesday  moni' 
ing  on  Route  213  slightly  north  of  Chesapeake  City,  Injured  in  (b^'•^ 
crash  were  Mr.  Edward  Brubaker,  owner  and  driver  of  the  car  and 
an  instructor  in  English  at  Washington  College;  Mr.  Frederick 
Meigs,  college  librarian;  and  Mrs.  Evelyn  Cross,  formerly  employed 
by  the  Snack  Bar. 

'  According  to  the  State  Police,  the 
car.  a  1928  Packard,  was  approaching 
Chesapeake  City  on  route  213  from 
(he  north.  The  road  was  clear  at  ihat 
hour,  and  there  wa.s  "no  appreciable, 
curve"  at  that  point.  No  other  vehicles 
were  involved,  and  it  is  believed  that 
Mr.  Brubaker  had  k>st  control 
while  driving.  The  car  turned  over  at 
least  once,  and  was  stilt  partially  oW 
the  road  when  found.  The  occupants 
were  rushed  to  Union  Hospital,  Elli- 
lon.  where  Ryle  died  soon  after  arrival. 
Mr.  Brubaker  was  reported  suffering 
from  lacerations  of  the  face  and  pos. 
siblc  head  injuries.  Mr.  Meigs,  mosft 
seriously  injured  of  the  survivors,  was 
s:iid  to  Be  suffering  from  head  in- 
juries and  a  possible  back  injury.  Mrs. 
Cross  also  received  lacerations  of  the 
face  and  scalp.  All  were  reporieil 
Wednesday  to  be  in  a  "favora))lc 
though  painful"  condition.  X-iaya  wcro 
being  taken  Wednesday  to  determine 
the  extent  of  the  injuries.  As  late  as 
noon  AVednesday  none  of  the  survivors 
had  been  told  of  Ryle's  death.  The 
car  was  a  total  wreck. 

The  College  was  notified  early  Wed- 
nesday of  the  accident,  and  student* 
and  faculty  were  shocked  by  the  sud- 
den tragedy.  The  ill-fated  group  had 
left  Chcsicnown  Tuesday  afternoon  IQ 
attend  a  play  in  York,  Pa.,  as  the 
guests  of  Mr.  Brubaker.  whose  brother 
was  one  of  the  stars  of  the  theatrical 
production.  They  saw  the  play  and 
were  returning  to  the  College  at  the 
time  of  the  accident. 

Dr.  Daniel  I.  Gibson.  President  of 
Washington  College,  and  Mr.  Fred  , 
Dunischott,  Business  Nfan.iger.  left  for 
Elklon  at  9:30  Wednesday  morning, 
shortly  after  learning  of  the  accident. 
They  nsiied  the  injured  pas.sengers  as 
well  as  the  funeral  home  to  which 
Ryle  was  taken.  At  thai  time  ihf 
funeral  arrangements  had  not  hcen 
made,  and  little  was  known  of  the 
circumstances  leading  to  the  wreck 
of  the  injuries  suffered

two  successful  Broadway  playwrights. 
Moss  Hart  and  George  Kaufman.  Cur- 
tain time  for  the  production  is  8:30. 
Tickets  are  on  sale  in  the  Snack  Bar 
and  the  book  store. 

The  light  comedy,  a  traditi 
choice  for  the  spring  production  of 
the  players,  enjoyed  a  successful  run 
on  Broadway  for  almost  three  years. 
It  proved  to  be  an  excellent  take^olT 
on  the  world  famous  Alexander  Wooll 
coit  and  was  aptly  played  by  Monty 
Wooley.  who  also  did  the  show  to) 
Hollywood. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  a  crowd 
usually  gathers  for  the  Players'  come- 
dies, reserved  seals  have  gone  on  sale 
for  Sl.OO.  The  usual  general  adi 
sion  price  remains  at  S.TTi.  Reserved 
scats  include  the  first  nine  rows  in 
the  center  of  Bill  Smith  .Audiioriuu 
and  the  first  several  rows  in  chi 
balcony.

EDITORIAL 

Most  editoriaJs  are  written  with  the  purpose  of  reform  in 
mind.  However,  this  week  I  would  like  to  reverse  the  usual 
order. 

On  the  night  of  Wednesday,  April  18,  the  faculty  and 
administration  put  on  a  variety  show  for  the  benefit  of  the 
World  Student  Service  Fund.  A  batch  of  Walter  Winchell's 
orchids  would  be  inadequate  to  express  what  a  fine  job  they 
did. 

The  students  who  attended  are  also  to  be  congratulated 
even  though  they  received  more  than  their  fifty  cents'  "worth" 
of  entertainment. 

Not  to  be  forgotten  is  "Gussie"  and  her  student  committee 
who  did  yoeman  service. 

It  is  indeed  refreshing  in  this  world  of  selfishness  to  find 
a  patch  of  brightness.

purpose  of  which  seemed  to  he  to  keep 
unsuspecting  >isiiors  from  falling  di- 
rectly into  the  bascmeni. 

I  was  spared  the  shock  of  seeing  my 
room  nhen  a  motherly  hand  ga\e  mc 
a  gentle  push  in  ihc  general  direction 
of  the  dining  hall.  On  m>  return  from 
there,  1  was  led  up  three  flights  oi 
creaking  stairs  to  the  third  Boor.  I 
have  since  abandoned  all  hope  of  ever 
going  quietly  up  these  same  stairs,  foi 
)uch  ,in  auenipi  would  be  vaguely 
similar  to  trying  lo  walk  quietly  down 
a  ccmmt  walk  in  baseball  shoes.  It 
can't  be  done. 

A  room,  according  lo  Webster,  is  a 
sfiace  cncloied  on  lour  sides.  The  old 
bo)  had  apparently  never  been  in  Rcid 
Hall.  The  walls  1  can  vouch  for,  bul 
ihe  space  simply  wasn't.  What  little 
there  wa.s.  was  almost  completely  occu- 
pietl  the  two  beds,  two  desks  and  a 
dresser.  Much  to  my  surprise,  I  found 
thai  with  a  few  familiar  pennants  and 
pictures  on  ihe  walls,  dresser,  and  desk, 
the  place  assumed  a  farily  homey  at 
mospherc.  The  first  impression  has 
since  si)ficncd  into  a  mere  dent  which 
isn't  really  so  bad  after  four  years  of 
struggling  with  nature  to  keep  field 
mice  out  of  ihc  closet.  But,  facing  the 
facts,  we  all  get  to  like  the  place 
sooner  or  later. 

Addresses 
Rotary  Club 

Mr.  Edward  R.  Padgcll,  Assistant 
Professor  of  Hbiory  and  Political 
Science,  spoke  before  the  Rotary  Club 
last  Monday  evening  t>n  the  topic 
I  "Responsibilities  ol   Power". 

In  bis  talk,  Mr.  Padgett  stated  that 
.America  i.s  one  of  the  few  gtcai  power* 
existing  in  (he  world  today,  and  as 
iich  a  nation,  she  must  as.sume  re 
ponsibiliiies.  first,  he  pointed  nut 
hat  .\merica  should  achieve  moral 
leadership,  and  tccond  she  should  pro- 
mote a  preservation  of  respect  for  law 
nd  justice.  Next,  .\merica  should 
ha\c  an  cffectisc  policy  formulation 
d  take  affirmaiive  action  with  re- 
gard to  the  execution  of  these  policies, 
the  individual  citizen,  he  added 
also  has  certain  responsibilities.  As  a 
ciiitcn,  he  must  assume  the  obligations 
that  go  with  ciiiMnship,  he  should 
participate  in  Ihc  democratic  processes, 
and  he  should  make  an  effort  lo  under- 
stand (he  world  trxlay.  Mr,  Padgett 
further  explained  that  the  present  con 
dition  in  Ihe  world  made  it  expedient 
for  unity  of  action  in  the  United 
I  ^lato.

A  stern  looking  group  of  four  leans 
on  the  round  maple  tabic  deep  in 
thought.  On  first  sight  one  might  think 
(hey  were  considering  the  possible 
faults  in  Einstein's  theory  of  rtlativity 
or  a  new  liquid  that  has  been  dis- 
covered for  the  removal  of  hangnails. 
However,  these  great  minds  arc  pro- 
bably counting  to  themsehe.s  the  nu: 
her  of  diamond  tricks  that  have  been 
taken  .  .  ,  these  mental  giants  ate 
playing  Bridge. 

Washington  College  students  seem  to 
be  noted  for  their  serious  bridge  play- 
ing .  .  .  Many  freshman  have  been 
told  during  the  summer  before  they 
enter  that  they  belter  learn  to  play 
bridge  if  they  don'l  want  to  be  a  social 
outcast  when  they  enter  the  school. 
On  the  other  hand,  if  they  don't  know 
all  the  fundamentals  of  the  game,  it 
is  a  better  life  to  he  the  social  out- 
cast rather  than  the  poor  bridge 
player. 

The  game,  as  played  in  Hodson  Hall, 
the  Snack  Bar.  or  the  dorms,  has  come 
to  consist  of,  about  seven  or  eight 
people.  (Only  four  holding  cards)  a 
badly  battered  deck  of  cards  which  is 
probably  the  remains  of  Canasta,  that 
old  fashioned  game  thai  anyone  could 
play,  a  pack  -pf-  cigarette;  handy  for 
the  nervous  player,  and  a  host  of  facia] 
expressions  to  be  used  on  partners 
when  they  have  played  neither  the 
right  or  wrong  card.  The  three  or  four 
pectators  are  there  for  advisory  pur- 
poses and  to  help  with  the  facial  and 
bal  expressions.  The  first  step  in 
the  game  is  to  bid.  or  announce  to 
group  how  many  iricks  you  think 
can  take  in  some  particular  suit. 
This  process  passes  from  one  to  anolh- 
r  around  the  table  until  you  base 
irrived  ai  an  agreement  with  your 
partner  on  how  many  tricks  you  can 
catch.  The  partners  that  bid  the 
highest  name  the  trump.  The  plaver 
bid  the  suit  first  must  play  the 
game  and  his  partner  puts  his  hand 
on  the  table  where  evenone  can 
observe  what  he  has,  He  is  then  knoivn 
"The  dummy".  The  procedure  has 
o  possible  results  —  cither  a  loud 
groan  from  the  person  who  must  play 
the  game  with  remarks  such  as  "whv 
the  world  did  you  raise  me"  or 
"why  didn't  you  mention  tt)3t  other 
'.  or  a  squeal  of  delight  in  dis- 
ring  that  the  dummy  hand  on  the 
table  contains  all  the  uces  or  six  or 
1  trumps  which  in  turn  brings 
peculiar  glances  t<)ward  the  plaver 
who  apparently  has  absolutely  nothing 
his  hand  worth  counting  on. 
With  these  preliminaries  over,  the 
actual  game  begins.  The  sure  player 
snaps  his  card.s  on  the  table  and  takes 
tricks  with  one  sweep,  straightens 
the  cards  and  snaps  them  again  in  a 
neat  pile  in  front  of  him.  He  gives 
the  appearance  of  having  rehearsed  the 
hole  game,  several  hours  before  hand. 
The  delibrcator  takes  several  moments 
before  he  plays  his  card  then  usually 
loses  the  trick  anyway.  It  is  during  this 
period  thai  the  facial  and  verbal  ex- 
pressions begin.  Very  seldom  arc  they 
plimcniary  but  rather  lake  the 
Q  of  raided  eyebrows,  groans  or  a 
gnashing  ot  teeth.  This  activity  con- 
tinues for  about  ten  minutes  svhich 
is  the  approximate  playing  lime  for 
a  bridge  game.  Finally  someone  has 
svon.  or  lost  depending  in  how  wise 
thev  svere  in  bidding.  Ii  is  at  this 
point  of  the  game  that  Washington 
(Jillcgians  are  a  bit  out  the  the  ordi- 
nary. Very  rarely  is  there  ever  a  score 
sheet.  All  the  wisdom  and  mental 
exercise  have  been  used  for  "sheei 
relaxation"  instead  of  a  good  score. 

Perhaps  our  card  players  were  just 
practicing  iheir  bridge  emotions  to 
be  used  when  they  arc  out  in  the 
world  milking  their  own  way  and 
joining  bridge  clubs.  The  husbands 
who  find  ih;ti  their  wives  were  "bridge 
olaiers"  at  Washington  College  will 
no  doubt  find  themselves  without  sup- 
per numerous  times  as  their  spouses 
are  out  to  "that  bridge  luncheon." 
Ihc  wives  on  the  other  hand  will 
probably  reluctantly  give  permission 
lor  the  old  boy  lo  go  out  for  a  night 
of  poker  .  ,  .  Poker  liecaase  none  of  his 
pals  played  bridge  at  Washington  Col- 
lege. Well,  its  oidy  a  game  and  jusi 
played  for  fun?  .  .  ■  ai  least  in  played 


for  fun  in  most  localities,  but  at  Wash- 
ington College  if  you  hear  "Bridge, 
anyone?"    check    yourself    before    you

The  Vermilion,  student  paper  at

inserted  a  paragraph  in  his  term  paper

read    what    pupits    write,    and    asking

For  instance,  a  prof  who  has  an  eight

in  Philadelphia  today  and  tomorrow,  have  a  special  significance  to- 
ward Washington  College  this  year.  The  Maroon  and  Black's  rapid 
sprinter,  Kenny  Howard,  has  received  a  bid  to  run  in  the  invational 
100  yard  dash  being  held  tomorrow  afternoon.  The  field  is  loaded 
with  top-notch  sprinters  throughout  the  East,  headed  by  Arthur 
Bragg  of  Morgan  State  who  recently  participated  in  the  Pan- 
American  Games. 

The  Shore  relay  team  is  not  running,  as  seven  members  of  the 
track  squad  are  journeying  to  Baltimore  to  run  in  the  inaugural 
Baltimore  Relays  being  held  at  Clifton  Park.  Seven  other  teams  are 
entered,  the  host  being  the  Baltimore  Olympic  Club.  The  carnival 
comprises  five  relays  and  eight  individual  events,  with  medals  being 
awarded  the  winning  relay  teams  and  first,  second  and  third  in 
individual  events. 

Sideline  Notes 

Although  the  Shore  stickmcn  were  edged  by  the  Blue  Devils 
last  Saturday,  the  high  spirit  of  our  squad  was  praised  by  Duke 
coach,  Jack  Persons.  The  Southern  ten  was  highly  talented  indivi- 
dually and  held  depth  within  its  weil-balanced  unit,  howevtr,  our 
team  play  was  by  no  means  excelled  by  the  Southerners. 

Rod  Boyce,  outstanding  Blue  Devil  stickman  who  consistently 
dented  the  Shore  goal,  formerly  played  with  Graham  Menzies  at 
Gilman  High  School  in  Baltimore.  Menzies  was  Boyce's  feeder  when 
they  both  starred  in  the  prep  ranks. 

A  highlight  of  the  contest  was  Bill  Bonnett's  third  quarter  score. 
Bonnett  ,Sho'defenseman,  raced  the  length  of  the  field  and  whipped 
a  shot  toward  goalie  Don  BafTord  that  almost  took  him  into  the 
net  with  the  ball.  Bafford  was  also  a  former  high  school  star  when 
he  played  with  Bonnett,  Kabernagel,  and  Jackson  at  City  College.

Entering  the  final  doubles  match  of 
the  afternoon,  the  team  score  being 
tied.  4-4,  the  Shormen  inaugurated 
their  neiv  campaign  by  edging  the 
Towson  "Knights",  .I  to  4.  Only 
through  the  combined  efforts  of  Jack 
Smith  and  Gary  WyckoR  was  the  vic- 
tory sustained. 

Smitty  and  Gary  dropped  their  first 
set,  4-6  but  evened  things  up  6-4 
the  following.  Their  opponents,  Jack 
Downes  and  Gerry  Wittstall  fought 
vainly  as  the  Sho'men  clinched  thei 
victory,  6-3  in  the  final  set.  During 
the  singles  matches,  Bruce  Wyckoff 
displayed  court  finesse  as  he  toppled 
Ai  Schleuncr,  6-0.  6-0.  "Biscuits"  Brandt 
was  next  in  line  to  achieve  a  triumph 
as  he  quelled  Jack  Luzman  in  two 
straight  sets.  Gary  Wycknff  breezed  to 
an  individually  successful  afternoon  as 
he  romped   over  Bob   Lane   6-1,   and 


W.C.  Upends 
B.O.C.  Sat. 


An  overconfident,  yet  unaware  Bal- 
timore track  team  was  defeated  62  to 
55  last  Saturday  on  Kibler  field  as  the 
deciding  factor  of  the  contest  was  not 
disclosed  until  the  last  event  on  the 
thirteen  card  program.  Like  a  "bolt 
out  of  the  blue"  invincible  Kcnney 
Howard  leaped  22'10i/;"  into  the  air 
amid  the  home  crowd's  cheers,  as  the 
hopes  of  the  Baltimore  Olympic  CInb 
faded  with  the  setting  of  the  sun. 

The  score  being  tied  54-,54,  Ken 
Howard  and  Lee  Cook  took  first  and 
second  places  in  the  broad  jump  to 
clinch  a  well  deserved,  yet  closely  com- 
peted victory. 

Carter  Leads  B.O.C 

Coach  Bill  Jimeson_  who  ran  2nd 
and  3rd  in  the  high  and  low  hurdles, 
added  strength  to  this  year's  team, 
and  invaded  the  Shore  with  a  mena- 
cing contingent  which  ran  one  of 
the  closest  dual  meets  that  the  Ches- 
terlown  school  hai  ever  participated  in. 
The  meet  was  dominated  by  two  men. 
Ken  Howard  of  Washington  and  Mer- 
win  'Tex"  Carter  of  the  B.O.C.  Carter, 
a  former  schoolboy  track  star  from 
San  Antonio,  Texas,  a  modest  athlete 
and  a  Southern  gentleman,  led  off  the 
afternoon's   festivities    by    placing   first 

the  pole  vault  and  high  jump.  His 
jumps  were  10'6"  and  5'6'  in  each 
event.  "The  Jet"  matched  this  with 
ctoriea  in  the  100  and  220  yd.  dashes 
reeling  off  times  of  10  second  flat  and 
22  seconds  flat  which  was  quite  re- 
markable considering  the  track  con- 
ditions.

the  second  stan/^,  the  Chcstcriowners 
shut  out  the  Tarheels^  while  dumping 
in  three  tallies. 

After  the  intermission,  Washington 
marked  up  three  more  goals  after

The  Texan's  next  feat  was  a  graceful 
li.3  sprint  over  the  120  yd.  high  hurd 
les  which  was  one  tenth  of  a  second 
short  in  tying  the  track  record.  Finall' 
Howard  and  Carter  met  in  the  low

he  was  GOIN  to  win  that  race." 
Blonde  Boh  Appleby,  who  had  never 
run  a  2  mile  race  before,  took  third 
place  through  his  admirable  stride  and 
determination. 

Mickey      Hubbard,

Duke  Deep  In  Reserrei 

The  Duke  game  was  one  of  the  mm\ 
well  played  games  of  the  year  for  both 
teams,  according  to  coaches,  playen, 
and  spectaion.  As  in  the  Navy  game, 
however,  Washington  found  itself  up 
against  a  more  experienced  foe  with 
numeral  reserves.  The  local  tean 
slackened  trying  to  even  tht 
score  in  the  final  quarter  in  which  sev«. 
ral  late  shots  missed  by  inches.  Two 
fouls  committed  by  Shoremen  in  tb« 
early  part  of  the  third  quarter  led  to 
quick  Duke  goals,  one  of  which 
turned  out  to  be  the  decisive  factor. 

Playing  exceptionally  well  for  Wash* 
ington  were  Ray  Wood,  All-American 
candidate,  and  Capt.  Ed  Leonartl, 
Duke  Case,  Bonnett  Kabernagel.  Wet

of  a  possible  fourteen,  the  Shore  track 
unit  turned  back  Pennsylvania  Mili- 
tary College  to  the  tune  of  AlVi  to 
37'/2  last  week. 

Versatile    Kanny    Howard    led    the 
winners    to   their  initial    track   victory 
of  the  campaign   as  he  garnered  four 
to  total  20  markers  for  the  after- 
.   Breasting   the    tape   in    the    100

hurdles,  "The  Jet"  concluded  the  dual 
meet    with   a   23   fool    broad   jump   to

achieved  by  distance  ace,  Tom  Benson, 
Jack  of  all  trades"  l,ee  Cook 
and  "timber  topper"  Ells  Boyd.  Ben-

"Reaction  to  the  letter  was  mostly 
negative,"  according  to  the  Daily 
Northwestern.  One  girl  remarked^  "My 
fiance  Wi'ould  disown  me  if  I  enlisted. 
He's  in  the  Coast  Guard  and  I'd  haie 
a  higher  rank   than  he  if  I  went  in."

campus.  It  declares:  "Ever  stop  to 
count   them.  Don't.  It  takes  too  long. 

"Since  queens  arc  so  commonplace 
these  days,  a  coed  feels  accomplished 
if  she  manages  to  get  through  school 
without  the  honor.  The  5fty  percent 
who  aren't  elected  a  queen  or  attend-

The  Society  of  Sciences,  last  night, 
held  its  Fifth  Annual  Science  Exhibit 
in  Dunning  Hall.  The  exhibit,  which 
Itegan  at  6:30  P.M,,  featured  students 
exhibits,  a  movie  and  a  lecture  dem- 
onstration by  Dr.  Richard  M.  Sutton. 
Dr.  Sutton,  who  was  very  well  re- 
ceived by  the  crowd,  gave  an  interest- 
ing lecture-demonstration  entitled, 
"Recreations  in  Mechanics",  featuring 
several  ilcmonst  rations  of  physical 
phenomena  and  law.  Dr.  Sutton,  who 
received  his  doctorate  from  the  Califor- 
nia Institute  of  Technology,  is  a  form- 
er national  chairman  of  the  Commit- 
tee on  Demonstrations  in  Physics  tor 
the  American  Association  of  Physics 
Teachers  and  is  well  known  as  the 
author  of  the  book  "Demonstrations  in 
Physics". 

The  movie,  "Doctor  in  Industry", 
was  shown  t>efore  and  after  Br.  Sui 
ton's  address.  This  film  is  about  as 
close  to  the  Hollywood  article  as 
science  movies  generally  get,  and  it 
proved  to  be  verv  interesting  and  in- 
formative, while  at  the  same  lime 
quite  entertaining,  dealing  principally 
ilh  the  trails  and  tribulations  of  a 
young  doctor  who  decides  to  go  into 
nduslrial  work. 

As  always,   the  main   attractions  of 
the  evening  were  the  various  projects 
hich  were  set  up  and  demonstrated 
by  the  science  students. 

Highlight  of  the  chemistry  exhibit 
was  a  demonstration  of  Chemin fluores- 
cence, set  up  and  demonstrated  by  Lee 
DeWiti,  In  this  demonstration  two 
solutioiLs,  when  poured  together,  pro- 
duced a  mysterious  glowing  solution. 
AVhen  this  was  then  poured  on  a 
cloth  and  the  cloth  rung  out,  droplets 
of  "fire"  seemed  to  drip  forth.  Water 
purification,  organic  synthesis,  and  an 
analysis  of  carlion  content  in  stc-cl  were 
iilso  shown. 

The  biology  exhibit,  as  always,  a 
popular  on,  was  this  year  in  the  hands 
of  Bob  Stuck,  who  in  addition  to 
bowing  experiments  with  frogs  and 
turtles,  managed  to  keep  everyone  bus^ 
gelling  his  blood  typed  or  lung  capa- 
ity  measured. 

Betty  Brundagc.  chairman  for  the 
nathcmaiics  exhibit,  had  a  number 
if  interesting  designs  and  puzzles  lo 
keep  the  visitors  guessing,  and  this 
department  featured  a  model  bridge 
vhich  was  rigged  with  springs  to 
ihow  where  major  stresses  occur. 

The  Physics  department's  show,  run 

by  Dick  Lewis,  was  another  big  crowd 

gciier,    and    everyone    seemed     to    be 

iiete.'ted    in   iht  Gicyer  C<iiinicr    the

various  motors  and  engines,  the  static 
electricity  machine  and  the  display 
of  gas  blled  discharge  tubes,  to  men- 
tion only  a  few  items. 

Last,  but  not  least,  we  found  the 
psychology  exhibit,  ably  chairraanned 
by  Helen  Roc,  who  chose  "Psychology 
in  Vocational  Guidance"  as  the  theme 
for  this  year's  show.  Shown  vi'crc  test 
results  (rom  campus  surveys  and  vari- 
ous vocational  tests  which  the  visitors 
could  try.  Especially  interesting  was 
the  demonstration   of  a    lie  dcctector. 

Bob  Brink,  president  of  the  Science 
club,  estimated  that  over  330  people 
had  attended  the  exhibit  and  added 
that  he  wished  to  extend  his  thank: 
lo  ihe  many  people  who.  by  their 
coiitribution  of  time  and  effort,  had 
made  the  show  possible,  and,  in  parti 
cuiar,  to  thank  the  various  chairmen 
of  the  departmental  exhibits.  Betty 
Irene  Ivens,  who  handled  publicity, 
Elinorc  Gustafson,  secretary  of  the 
club,  Paul  Sadick,  general  chairman, 
and  Dr.  Voelker,  faculty  advisor  to  the 
club. 

Immediately  following  the  exhibit 
an  informal  party  was  given  in  Dun- 
ning Hall  for  the  club  members  and 
faculty.     ,

By  jaefc  W.  Henry 
Under  the  capable  direction  of 
Phyllis  Sciii.  the  Washington  Players 
concluded  their  1950-1951  season  wiih 
what  was,  in  the  opinion  of  this  re- 
viewer, their  most  delightful  presenta- 
tion of  the  year  —  Kaufman  and 
Harfs  "THE  MAN  WHO  CAME  TO 
DINNER." 

With  the  exception  of  several  por- 
tions of  the  second  act,  in  which  the 
pace  was  noticeably  slowed,  the  pro- 
duction was  well-balanced  and  fast- 
moving.  After  three  previous  exposures 
to  amateur  productions  of  this  comedy 
it  was  especially  pleasing  to  find  a 
new  and  fresh  <limension  imparted  to 
the  concluding  act,  by  far  the  mtwv 
enjoyable  act. 

As  .Sheridan  Whiteside,  the  man  who 
came  to  dinner  and  stayed,  Toifl- 
Lowe  marked  his  debut  with  The 
Players  with  a  remarkable  and  effca- 
ive  performance.  Faced  witii  the  prob- 
lem that  in  the  minds  of  most 
theatre-goers  Sheridan  Whiteside  has 
become  virtually  synonomous  with  the 
name  of  Monty  Woolley,  Lowe  at- 
tempted to  overcome  this  han<licap 
by  presenting  us  with  a  personality 
creation.  A  refreshinj* 
change  to  .say  the  least,  even  though 
on  one  or  two  occasions  he  appearetf 
to  border  on  Ihe  typical  Whiteside 
charactcriiaiion. 

.Although  the  personality  of  Sheri- 
dan Whiteside  dominates  every  scene, 
especially  capable  perform.inces  were 
turned  in  by:  Eleanor  Dryden  as  the' 
secretary,  Maggie  Cutler.  whoSe  sara- 
casm  managed  to  penetrate  even  the 
toughened  hide  of  Whiteside;  Howard 
GclHs,  as  Beverly  Carlton,  who  handled 
a  dilficuU  British  impersonation  with 
success;  Jim  Mcicalf  as  the 
Leonard.  Business  Manager;  Clen  [  *^o"fl-l'c  boy  photographer.  Richard

What's 
New? 


The  frat  dance  week  end  wound 
up  with  everything  under  control  and 
no  casualties  lo  speak  of  .  .  .  but  back 
lo  the  old  grind  .  ,  , 

Congratulations  to  Pal  Bowes  and 
Herb  W'ard  who  were  pinned  on  Sat- 
urday and  to  Eddie  Leonard  and 
"Dodo"  for  the  same  reason  .  .  . 

By  the  way.  what  fraternity  is  Oiis 
the  barber  in? 

Watch  that  last  door,  Ernie;  it's  a 
dandy! 

Understand  thai  Frog  has  every- 
thing. His  only  fault  lies  in  the  fact 
that  he  breathes. 

'Rumor  has  it  that  Dirty  McCurdy 
is  suffering  from  shell  shock. 

Reid  Hall  has  its  own  personal 
lonely  hearts  club  these  days.  All 
literate  females  are  eligible.  JusL  con- 
tact Room  'i,  first  floor.  Immediate 
results  arc  guaranteed  —  and  they're 
all  refined  boys. 

It's  nice  to  sec  that  some  of  our 
boys  are  real  softies  at  heart.  They'd 
give  their  shirts  to  a  poor,  homeless 
gal. 

"O.K.,  Peg.  give  the  girl  ihe  dime!" 

Some  of  -America's  most  notable  men 
have  been  bounced  from  college  at 
one  lime  or  another  .  .  .  just  a 
thought. 

Great  lo  see  our  Iwys  all  spruced 
up  in  coats  and  lies  for  dinner,  but 
do  they  have  to  try  to  get  rid  of  half 
the  history  department,  too?  Come  to 
think  of  it.  that  might  not  be  a  bad 
idea,  in  some  cases. 

Congratulations  are  in  order  for  all 
the  wheels  who  have  been  elected  to 
offices  in  the  lartous  campus  organiza- 
tions for  the  coming  year.  Best  of  luckl 

Strange  lo  see  the  athletic  field 
taken  up  by  lacrosse  instead  of  base- 
ball on  these  beautiful  spring  days. 
I  he  great  -American  past-time  is  no 
longer,  so  far  as  W.C.  is  concerned, 
n  worse.  They're  giving  the  place 
back    lo   the  IndiansI   .  ,

Don'i  forget  to  give  the  Players  your 
support  tonight.  1  hcy've  worked  hard 
and   deserve  it.  Curtain    time   in   8:30. 

That's  all  for  this  time.  See  you

Clark  Will  Assist  Blake  In  N-S  Clash 


THE  Scoreboard 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 


Clark  Pleased  With  Scrimmage 

At  Georgetown's  request,  the  Washington  lacrosse  squad  held 
a  scrimmage  last  Saturday  in  which  the  home  team's  second  and 
third  stringers  saw  all  the  action.  Since  the  Washington  group  is 
inaugurating  its  first  season  of  lacrosse,  the  Maroon  and  Black  hrst 
string  rested  while  Coach  Clark  viewed  the  over  all  team  play  of 
the  substitutes. 

He  was  highly  pleased  with  attackman  Jim  Trader's  play 
Trader  had  been  only  a  manager  at  the  start  of  the  season,  however 
he  took  to  the  game  like  a  Baltimorean.  Bobby  Lipstiz  flipped  in 
five  goats  as  he  displayed  experienced  ability. 

The  Georgetown  unit  contained  many  big  stickmcn  with  abund- 
ant hustle.  However,  our  experience  could  not  be  matched  by  the 
visitors.  The  Chestertown  starting  lineup  consisted  of  Dick  Cadden, 
Rod  Faulkner,  and  Lipstiz  at  attack  and  Don  Elliot,  Ed  Cumor  and 
Jack  Bacon  at  defense.  The  midfielders  were  Doug  Fox,  Wayne 
Millner  and  Bob  Jackson.  Jackson  has  been  switched  to  a  midficld 
position  since  his  return  to  the  team  after  his  early  injury.  Bob  has 
been  displaying  fine  stickwork  and  midfield  ability.  Bill  Russell  was 
the  only  starting  member  who  played.  His  play  in  the  goal  position 
is  improving  and  impressive  as  the  season  progresses. 

Oval  Observations 

A  few  thinclads  have  been  working  strenously  during  the  past 
few  weeks  in  preparation  for  the  not  too  distant  Mason-Dixon 
Championships. 

Kenny  Howard  returned  from  the  Penn  Relays  with  a  credit- 
able 10.3  hundred  under  his  belt  which  was  just  .2  of  a  second 
short  of  N.C.A.A.  sprint  champion,  Arthur  Bragg,  who  won  the 
heat,  Howard  was  sixth  in  a  field  of  nine  in  his  heat,  which  were 
quite  buncjied  together  at  the  finish  tape. 

Jim  Twilley  ran  second  in  the  mile  at  the  Baltimore  Relays,  an 
event  that  Jim  seldom  runs  during  the  entire  track  campaign.  — 
Jim  Schaffer  has  display  fine  pole  valuting  form  recently  and  should 
reach  his  peak  in  another  week.  —  Bob  Appleby  seems  to  possess  an 
abundant  supply  of  stamina,  displayed  through  running  the  cross- 
country course  last  week.

this  firsi  annual  track  meet  between 
Mason-Dixon  schools  and  the  local 
Baltimore   Olympic  Club. 

Washington  College  was  represented 
by  five  thinclads.  Jim  Twilley.  Bob 
Appleby.  Tom  Benwn.  George  Eichel.

and  Benson  won  individual  honors  by 
grabbing  second  and  third  in 
mile  run.  Ells  Boyd  took  fourth  in 
the  high  jump,  won  by  Rnss  Johnson 
of  C.U.,  while  Twilley,  Benson,  Eichel- 
berger  and  Appleby  ran  the  two  mile 
relay.  They  were  narrowly  beaten  by 
Che  CardinaU  of  C.U.  whose  quartet

Mcrwin  "Tex"  Carter,  who  recently 
scored  20  points  for  the  B.O.C.  in  a 
dual  meet  against  Washington  College, 
grabbed  first  in  the  high  hurdles.

The  Washington  cindermen  match 
strides  with  a  powerful  West  Chester 
crew  tomorrow,  who  has  recently  been 
burning  up  rival  squads  throughout 
Pennsylvania.  Monday  pits  the  Sho" 
men  against  Loyola  College  who  .seem 
to  possess  equal  strength  compared  to 
the  Sho"  contingent. 

Athlete 
Of  Week 


Has  anyone  seen  "Punchy"?  We're 
speaking  of  185  lb.  5'10'  William 
Bonnet t  who  has  recently  been  wan- 
dering around  campus  with  a  far  off 
gleam  in  his  eye.  It  could  be  this  hot 
weather  or  possibly  that  Bill  has  been 
visiting  Beach  Avenue  in  Baltimore 
too  much  lately. 

Nevertheless,  Bonnett  has  his  head- 
up  un  the  lacrosse  field  each  afier- 
iioun,  holding  down  a  first  string  de- 
fense position  un  Charlie  Clark's  top- 
notch  ten.  This  is  his  third  year  of 
lacrosse  at  the  Chestertown  school 
here  Bill  has  excelled  at  his  defense 
position.  "Punchy"  began  his  athletic 
career  at  Baltimore  City  College  where 
he  played  two  years  of  lacrosse  and 
football,  being  mentioned  on  the  All- 
Marylaiul  gridiron  team  in  his  senior 
year. 

On  the  Shore  grid  team.  Bill  was 
switched  from  guard  to  tackle  where  i 
made  himself  known  to  many  op-| 


Somerset  and  Theta  Chi  have  both 
fallen  from  the  undcfeatetl  ranks  di 
ing  the  past  week,  in  closely  contested 
battles. 

C.   1,    Hall,   defeated    in    the   finals 
last   year,   subdued   East   Hall   by 
8-4    score   to  begin   last   week's  action. 
East     Hall    was    limited    to    six 
while    the   victors   collected    ten, 
Don  Tabasco  scored  three  of  his  teams 

The  next  day  F^st  Hall  rebounded 
to  whip  Foxwell  IM.  Kenny  Howard 
collected  three  hits  in  four  trips 
bat,  and  also  pitched  a  winning  game 
in  allowing  only  six  hits,  as  he  led  his 
team  to  the  win.  Foxwell,  however, 
could  only  hold  the  opposition  score- 
lew  in  one  of  the  game's  seven  itinings. 
Alpha  Omega  Nu  came  from  he- 
hind  in  the  last  inning  to  edge  out 
G.I.  Hall  4-3  in  a  hard  fought  game. 
The  winning  blow  was  a  two  run 
homer  by  "Jolting"  George  Plocharski. 
Don  Heverly  again  displayed  his  pitch- 
ing speed  as  the  G.I.  Hall  nine  could 
not   hit   his   rapid   fires. 

Alpha  Omega  Nu  again  won  hy 
swamping  Foxwell  16-6.  Pitcher  Hever- 
ly again  led  his  squad  as  he  allowed 
only  three  runs  in  his  five  inning 
pitching  stini,  and  produced  a  two 
run  homer  to  add  to  the  winning 
margin.  Foxwell,  employing  two  pitch- 
ers, seemed  to  wilt  before  the  ball 
pounding  Nus. 

Somerset  then  dropped  Theta  Chi 
by  a  2-1  score  in  which  the  game  went 
eight  innings.  Bob  .Appleby  pitched 
the  new  dorm  to  victory  over  lefiy. 
Kenney    Sullivan. 

.-Vn  eight  run  fifth  inning  «iablcd 
East  Hall  to  upset  the  Somerset  squad 
14  to  12  in  another  eight 
jaunt  the  following  afternoon.  Kenny 
Howard  and  Joe  Cetsler  pitched  East 
to  their  hard-fought  win_  as  Mel  Lit- 
tleton was  the  l>owing  pitcher.  Two 
runs  in  the  eighth,  driven  in  bv  Danny 
Samele,  forced  the  Somerset  ere' 
fall  by  the  wayside.

34  collegiate  games  through  1950  and 
last  year  Washington  College  was  rated 
13tb  in  the  nation.  Clark  was  cited  by 
the  olficial  Lacrosse  Guide  for  1951  as 
a  leader  who  has  done  the  standout 
job  among  players,  coaches  and  others 
connected  with  Lacrosse  during  the

week  show  a  slight  increase  in  sales 
over  previous  night  management.  How-

vincing enough  to  ODK  members  to 
maintain  their  present  occupation  of

to  come  a  little  above  with  the  except-

Until  School  Closes 


A>_ 


The  Snack  Dar  will  remain  open 
during  the  evening  hours  uniil  the 
end  of  the  school  year.  The  announce- 
nicnt  was  made  this  week  by  Eddie 
Leonaid.  president  of  ODK. 

The  management  of  ihc  Snack  Bar 
has  been  in  the  hands  of  ODK  for 
the  past  two  weeks  on  a  trial  basis  and 
due  to  what  they  deem  "successful 
handUng"  will  continue  under  the 
supervision  o{  the  honorary  fraternity. 

Managers  for  the  evening  hours  have 
been  picked  from  ODK.  on  a  rota 
basis  with  each  member  sening  one

method  of  supervisors  will  conti 
until  llic  Snack  Bar  clo.scs  officially

place  following  a  meeting  of  students 
with  President  Gibson  concerning 
closing  of  the  eating  place  at  night 
by  the  Business  Office,  The  rea' 
given  for  the  closing  were  a  loss  in 
the  number  of  sales  making  cxpei 
more  than  the  intake.  For  the  benefit 
of  the  students  who  sent  many  gripes 
to  the  honorary  fraternity,  ODK  olTcr- 
cd  to  try  their  hand  at  the  situation. 
The  results  have  been  approved  by 
the  Business  Office  and  business  will 
continue  as  usual.

EDITORIAL 

Every  newspaper  must  have  a  policy  to  enable  it  to  fulfill 
consistently  its  obligations  to  its  reading  public. 

We  on  the  Elm  realize  that  we  have  a  still  greater  obliga- 
tion than  the  normal  newspaper,  for  here  at  Washington  Col- 
lege you,  the  student  body,  have  no  choice  as  to  whether  or 
not  you  care  to  subscribe  to  the  Elm.  You  must.  This  is  an 
unfortunate  situation,  but  it  is  an  economic  necessity.  Since 
you  have  no  choice,  our  job  is  to  present  a  paper  that  will 
satisfy  the  diversified  wants  of  approximately  350  students. 
This  then  is  our  aim. 

Our  policy  through  which  we  hope  to  carry  our  aim  into 
practice  then  is  to  endeavor  to  bring  all  the  news  that  has 
happened  to  you  as  fairly  and  inbiasly  written  as  possible;  as 
accurately  as  it  is  within  our  command  to  do  so,  and  to  main- 
tain an  open  mind  on  any  and  all  issues  which  may  arise.  In 
addition  we  shall  keep  open  the  Elm  mail-box  for  any  "letters 
to  tlie  editor"  regardless  of  what  point  of  view  the  writer  has 
taken  witli  the  one  reservation  that  the  letter  must  be  signed. 

A  new  Elm  was  planted,  so  to  speak,  by  Jay  Miller  two 
years  ago;  it  was  cultivated  by  Ed  Ryle — ^we  hope  to  continue 
this  growth  by  striving  constantly  for  perfection  realizing  we 
are  only  human. 

Let  us  remind  you  in  closing,  we  welcome  constructive 
criticism  at  all  itmcs,  and  we  welcome  your  opinions  on 
situations.

By   Betty   Boone 

li  happens  every  spring.  Miss  Doris 
strings  an  arilclc  somewhat  rcictnbling 
sh  net  across  the  middle  of  the 
gymnasium  and  nniil  the  end  of  ihc 
school  year  the  young  women  of  Wash- 
ington College  engage  in  a  reserved 
method  of  humbling  their  social  ri- 
vals by  hitting  them  on  the  head 
with  strategically  aimetl  feathered 
birds.  While  on  the  badminton  court, 
these  usually  sane  coeds  pant  un- 
printable words  as  lliey  run,  slide, 
and  somersault  from  one  end  of  the 
net  to  another  swinging  their  rackets 
with  bloodthirsty  gleams  in  their  eyes. 
Mercy  is  unknown  inside  the  four 
ills  of  Cain  Gymnasium,  and  noth- 
g  short  of  an  opponent's  broken 
back  will  halt  the  onslaught  of  the 
winning  player.  With  happy  cries  she 
continues  to  slam  impossible  shots  over

the  stomach  until  her  ci-stwhile  foe 
is  reduced  to  a  state  of  mumbling 
idiocy  and  is  ready  for  the  emergency 
ard  of  the  nearest  ho,spita!.  Then, 
when  victory  is  accomplished  the  feel- 
ing of  sisterly  love  returns  and  the 
winner  embraces  the  loser  as  she  car- 
ries her  away  from  ihc  battleground, 
and  the  world  is  once  again  sweet.

That  Complex 

By  Dot  Habtcd 

A  great  deal  has  been  written  and 
said  almut  the  outstanding  inferiority 
complex  of  the  lowly  freshman.  There 
have  been  many  courses  given  him 
that  this  situation  might  be  corrected. 
It  seems  that  no  freshman  is  complete 
without  one. 

But  there  is  another  evil  about 
which  little  has  been  said,  but  which 
is  almost  as  pitiable  and  just  as  much 
in  need  of  correction.  This  is  the 
superiority  complex  which  has  become 
a  part  of  the  personality  of  many 
upper  classmen.  Many  individuals  who 
find  themselves  the  newly-elected  pre- 
sident of  some  campus  organization  or 
a  wheel  in  some  campus  organization 
in  which  they  take  part  are  prone  to 
let  the  fact  swell  their  heads  to  an 
inuitcrable  degree. 

These  individuals  are  so  far  in  the 
clouds  that  they  often  miss  the  greater 
part  of  living.  -\  superiority  complex 
cannot  help  but  be  detected.  It 
"sticks  out  like  a  sore  thumb",  as  the 
saying  goes.  None  of  us  likes  to  be- 
lieve that  he  has  fallen  victim  to  this 
disease,  but  there  are  few  of  us  who 
have  not. 

Those  of  you  who  have  recently  be- 
come susceptible  to  this  complex,  by 
virtue  of  a  brand-new  otTicc  or  some- 
thing other,  can  check  (he  impulse 
to  feel  superior.  There  have  been 
many  others  who  have  filled  your 
position  before  you,  and  there  arc 
many  who  (vill  fill  iFic  same  position 
after  you.  If  you  had  not  been  cho- 
sen, someone  else  wonld  have.  Others 
re  equally  as  good  as  yon  are.  Some 
ire  perhaps  better. 

So  if  you  begin  lo  thinlt  that  you're 
slightly  better  ■  than  any  one  else, 
think  twice.  Chances  are  you're  not. 

Lost  Generation 

by    Betty   Boone 
Wc    are    the    lost,    the    strayed    the 

wandering; 
We  are  the  children  of  fear  and  greed 
Born    in    a    world    turned    foul    and 

fetid — 
A    civilized    garden    gone    rank    with 

weeds. 
Frightened    at     first     by     the    shadows 

around  us, 
Learning  to  believe  in  nothing  at  all, 
Discarding  the  dreams  of  love  and  gf 

laughter. 
Responding  at  last  to  the  terrible  call. 
Living  our  lives  as   best  we  are  able. 
Caring  but  naught  for  our  fellow  man, 
Risking    our    souls    for    a    moment's 

pleasure. 
Paying   no   heed    to   ihe  sinin   on    our 

hands. 
Hence,  we  arc  branded  as  wicked  and 

sinful. 
Rotting  a  world   that   was  rancid  be- 
fore. 
Forgotten  that  wc.  who  were  bora  into 

darkness.  ~ 

Were     children     whose     hearts     were 

once   guileless  and  pure.

Thinclads  Defend  Title  Tomorrow 


THE  Scoreboard 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 


Trials  Today,  Finals  Tomorrow 

For  two  consecutive  years,  the  Washington  College  track  team 
has  captured  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference  Championships  with  no 
more  than  ten  men  scoring  points.  Tomorrow  the  Shore  thinclads 
embark  for  the  "Capital  city",  maintaining  little  depth  in  their  squad 
which  will  be  defending  the  1950  title.  As  wc  have  witnessed  in  past 
years,  victory  lies  in  the  hands  of  but  a  limited  number  of  men. 

However,  the  Chestertown  team  spirit  is  high  and  each  man  is 
determined  to  excell  whole-heartedly  in  ability.  The  trials  of  the  two 
day  meet  are  held  today  and  the  finals  on  Saturday.  Twelve  con- 
ference schools  will  once  again  bum  the  Catholic  University  cinders 
striving  to  set  new  M-D  records.  Bridgcwater  College  and  Catholic 
University  have  been  tabbed  as  the  "teams  to  watch".  The  latter 
school  has  preserved  a  record  of  never  having  finished -t&wcr  than 
third  in  15  years  of'conference  competition,  and  isn't  likely  to  mar 
it  tomorrow. 

Although  the  Shoremen  will  be  without  the  services  of  speed- 
sters Larry  Brandenburg,  Abe  Mendcnhall,  Mickey  Hubbard  and 
Fil  Dryden,  we  do  have  highly  capable  performers  in  Ken  Howard, 
Jim  Twilley,  George  Eichclberger,  Tom  Benson  and  Bob  Appleby. 

Athey  Announces  Banquet 
Athletic  director  Ed  Athey  has  announced  that  the  annual  Wash- 
ington College  athletic  banquet  will  be  held  in  Hodson  Hall,  May 
22.  All  members  of  varsity  teams  of  the  past  year  will  be  honored 
with  the  presentation  of  varsity  letters  awards. 

Honorary  guests  include  the  members  of  the  athletic  council 
and  President  Gibson,  Coach  Kiblcr,  Mr.  Dumschott,  Dr.  Dick  and 
Dr.  Farr.  Invitations  have  been  extended  to  the  Baltimore  Sun  and 
Baltimore  Ncwspost  sports  writers,  and  to  Ed  Nichols,  sports  editor 
of  the  Salisbury  Times.  Many  of  the  prominent  alumnae  who  have

triumph  last  Tuesday  against  the  Uni. 
versiiy  of  Delaware. 

Accounting  for  the  fact  that  their 
All-.-\raerican  attackman,  Don  Swan 
was  sidelined,  the  Delaware  unit  show 
ed  little  opposition  against  the  ex- 
perienced, well-rounded  Shore  team. 
Ten  men  hit  the  nets  for  the  Ches- 
tertown school,  as  sixteen  sulistiiuics 
were  used  during  the  afternoon. 

Rip  Wood  opened  the  scoring  in 
the  first  35  seconds  ef  play  as  he  drove 
a  smooth  shot  past  goalie  George  Wal- 
beck  of  the  losers.  Paul  Catis  of  the 
Blue  Hens  then  tallied  one  of  the 
visitors  two  goals,  to  even  the  scoring. 
However,  Ed  and  Larry  Leonard  and 
Bob  Jackson  rallied  lo  change  the 
scoreboard  to  5-1  terminating  the  first 
period. 

Haight  West  was  the  only  othei 
Delaware  stickman  to  score  during  the 
game,  as  he  slipped  one  past  Bill 
Russell  in  the  second  stan/a.  The 
Shoremen  continued  to  dent  the  nets 
until  the  final  whistle  with  Bobby 
Lipsit/,  Graham  Menzies  and  Bernie 
Rudo  each  scoring  two.  Jim  Trader, 
Duke  Case,  and  Jim  McCurdy^ account 
ed  for  the  other  Sho'  goals. 

The  Maroon  and  Black  defense  unit 
of  Harry  Kabcmagel,  Larry  WescoH, 
and  Bill  Bonneit  completely  oiuplaycd 
the  visitors  as  they  cleared  the  ball 
exceptionally  well,  with  direct,  accu- 
rate passes. 

The  Shore  team  travels  to  Balti-

will  encounter  a  stronp  Ml.  \Vashing-

secretary  for  the  New  York  and  Mid- 
dle Atlantic  district  of  the  World 
Student  Service  Fund  said  in  hei 
ter.  "This  help  to  students  in  India 
will  mean  a  very  great  deal,  I 
you.  Not  only  will  this  contribution 
make  possible  material  aid.  but  per- 
haps even  more  important,  it  will 
carry  with  it  hope  and  encouragement 
for  the  future  which  come  from  know- 
ing that  fellow  students  in  this  country 
are  concerned." 

It  is  estimated  25,200,000  lineal  feet,

Satisfy  Course 
Requirements 


The  faculty  of  Washington  College 
IS  approved  a  policy  cITectivc  in  the 
fall  of  l'151,  whereby  a  student  has 
the  privilege  of  taking  a  proficiency 
examination  in  a  subject,  and  on  the 
basis  of  the  residi  may  be  exempt 
from  the  requirement  of  formal  at- 
tendance at  the  course.  This  privilege 
is  available  to  entering  students  as 
well  as  uppcrclass  students. 

The  poliq'  docs  not  mean  that  a 
student  will  receive  format  academic 
credit  for  courses  which  are  bypassed 
through  the  means  of  a  competency 
examination  but  docs  mean  that  he 
may  avoid  the  necessity  of  repeating 
work  unnecessarily. 

The  formal  faculty  action  is  as 
follows: 

1.  First-year  students  who  pass  a 
competency  examination  in  a  given 
course  will  be  excused  from  a  require- 
ment of  formal  attendance  at  that 
course  and  may  then  take  more  ad- 
vanced subjects  in  the  same  depart- 
ment. 1  he  student  must  satisfy  the 
total  number  of  departmental  course 
hours  now  specified  for  meeting  gradu- 
ation requirements.  Courses  satisfied 
by  the  competency  examination 
be  entered  on  the  student's  record,  but 
the  student  will  not  be  granted  credit 
in  terms  of  semester  hours  applicable 
towards  the  total  number  of  hours  for 
graduation. 

Any  student  beyond  the  fresh- 
man year  who  wishes  to  take  a  com- 
petency examination  may  do  so  with 
approval  of  the  department  head 
and  Faculty  Committee  on  Admissions 
and  Scholarship.  The  student  will  pay 
the  usual  fee  for  special  examinations, 
s  fee  will  be  refunded  if  the  stu- 
dent passes  the  competency  examina- 
tion.

The  Professor  Sans  Merci 


By  Marge  Close 


Of  all  the  nerve!  1  have  never  been 
so  abused  and  overworked  in  my 
whole  life!  How  some  professors  could 
have  the  gall  lo  assign  a  icrm  paper 
ai  the  beginning  of  ilic  term  and 
actually  espcci  it  to  be  finished  in 
May  is  lieyoud  my  fully  esiecmcd  and 
college-wise  capacity  "f  comprehen- 
sion. Some  people  think  that  all  one 
has  lo  do  it  to  sit  and  write  biblio- 
graphies, research  reports  and  foot- 
notes,  when  there  arc  so  many  other 
Ihings  ol  imiJortance  which  press  the 
average  students  life.  Even  though  the 
assignment  >»as  made  long  ago,  no  one 
with  an\  sense  at  all  begins  work  on 
it  befoie  a  month  or  less  before  the 
lime  thus  ouirageoasly  brain-icaring 
masterpiece  must  be  completed.  That 
leaves  almui  the  last  half  of  -Vpril 
and  pan  of  May  in  which  to  torture 
one's  sell  by  this  magnanimous  insult 
cast  upon  many  by  one  lowly  pro-i 
Icvsiir. 

Now,  reall).  who  in  the  world 
would    be    SI.    merciless    as    ui    cvpeO 


work  such  as  this  to  be  accomplished 
in  such  a  glorious  spring,  but  the 
vicious  professor  who  actually  expects 
a  student  to  work  for  his  grade.  .After 
all,  there  are  so  many  other  things 
such  as  swimming,  badminton,  hiking, 
and  sunbathing  so  important  that  one 
can't  be  expected  to  put  them  aside 
for  such  trillings.  .\nd  it  just  stands  to 
reason  that  the  average  person  would 
find  it  much  more  pleasant,  education- 
al,, and  healthful  to  Icam  how  to  do 
the  backstroke  while  splashing  in  the 
gleaming,  blue  Chester  River  than  to 
spend  a  hot,  dreary  afternoon  in  a 
dorm  cell  writing  on  the  "Economic 
Development  ol  Afghanistan  from 
1592  lo  1785  AVith  Special  Emphasis 
(m  the  EfTcci  of  Hadacol  on  the  Gene- 
ral Population."  Looking  at  it  practi- 
cally, knowing  how  to  do  the  back- 
stroke may  save  your  life  some  day 
and  despite  advertisements  to  the  con- 
trary, it  is  doubtful  whether  Hadacol 
will  do  the  same,  particularly  if  the 
supply  is  in  Atgh;

This  i-  the  u.<r\  of  a  poor  little 
college  l«>y  "liu  made  ihc  mistake  of  | 
being  boni. 

Now  this  little  bOy  bad  a  vcr^-  nor- 
mal childhiM^;  he  went  to  grammar 
school  and  learned  aboui  reading  and 
writing;  he  iVciil  to  high  school  atid 
learned  alKtut  latin  and  algcbia;  he 
ucnt  ti>  college  and  learned  about 
National   Buhemian. 

Everything  was  very  peaceful  and 
nurmal.  \nd  then  one  day  a  jerk 
named  Stalin  told  his  buddy  Mao- 
I /c-Tzung  lo  tell  his  pals  in  North 
Korea  to  cream  ihusc  guys  in  Simih 
Ktirca. 

Now  Ibis  fouled  up  the  works  and 
the  result  was  that  our  poor  little  col- 
lege boy  got  some  papers  lo  fill  out 
lor  a  man  named  Hcrshey,  Tbi» 
tuiigued  him  very  mmh  and  he  went 
III  bed  early  that  night.  When  he  woke 
up  the  next  murning  he  was  in  Camp

In  his  final  will  and  tcsiameni  whiih 
was    filed    on    the   door  of  The   Grey- 
hound office  he  includes  a  crib  sheet 
which  his  friends  will  be  able  to  use 
when  they  try  to  flunk  ibeir  physical. 

Question  Five  on  the  written  exa- 
mination is  "Can  you  read?"  The  cor- 
rect answer  to  this  is  ...  If  you  write 
;."  you  will  immediately  be  in- 
ducted and  made  a  truck  driver.  If  you 

■ite  ".No."  they  will  know  you  arc 
lying  and  send   you   to  Lake  Succcw. 

Question  Six  is  "Can  you  Wri 
The  correct  answer  to  this  is  .  . 
you  answer  "Yes."  they  will  make  you 
a  machine  gunner  while  H  you  w 
"No."  ihcv  will  make  you  a  second

Question  Seven  is    'Hr.u-  muih  cdi 
cation    liav^  you    had!-"'   Don't   answer 
this,    they'll    put    you    in    the    infant 
anyway. 

Then  comes  the  eye  test.  The 
examiner  will  sav  'What  are  the  let 
ters  on  that  sign  on  ihc  wall?"  The 
correct  answer  is  not  "What  sign! 
but  "Hunh?"  That  ivay  you  will  not 
only  Hunk  the  eyes  test  but  ihc  hear- 
ing test. 

If  you  follow  all  these  insiraclions 
you  will  lie  sure  to  be  classified  99-/

By   Betty   Boone 


The  average  American  college  stu- 
dent is  a  VC17  distinct  species  of 
human  life.  His  natural  habitat  is  the 
campus  soda  fountain  and  he  is  al- 
legeric  to  all  sheets  of  paper  bound 
together  and  covered  with  printed 
words.  When  he  is  not  eating,  loafing, 
or  shooting  pool,  he  will  most  likely  be 
found  asleep  either  in  the  bedroom 
or  the  classroom. 

His  reasons  for  entering  college  are 
commendable.  .\  great  thirst  for  know- 
ledge concerning  the  science  of  poker 
playing  and  the  art  of  drinking 
straight  liquor  assailed  him  in  his 
senior  year  of  high  school.  In  addi- 
tion to  broadening  his  education  in 
these  fields,  higher  learning  has  great- 
ly enriched  his  daily  conversation.  H. 
now  cciiiej-s  around  such  world-shak- 
ing matters  as  the  best  girl  to  neck 
with  on  campus  and  the  safest  way  to 
cheat  during  exams. 

The  college  student  may  be  easily 
identified  from  a  distance  by  his  walk, 
which  is  a  combination  of  (be  Back- 
Bay  Shulllc  and  the  Lindy  Hop.  while 
upon  conversing  with  him  one  cannot 
fail  to  notice  his  cultured  tones  and 
well  modtilated  voice,  ranging  from  a 
gutieral  growl  to  an  car-splitting  roar. 
\s  for  his  physical  appearance,  it  is 
neat  and  attractive  if  one  disregards 
he  usual  three-day  giomh  of  beard, 
incombed  hair,  and  slcpt-in  clothes. 
Speaking  of  clothe,  bi»  wardrobe  —  to 
use  the  term'  loosely  —  consists  of 
I  different  shades  of  blue  jeans, 
the  shade  depanding.  uponcficagc,  andl 
several  different  sizes  of  plaid  shirts. 
,Ti  outstanding  characteristic,  which 
particularly  in  evidence  around 
three  in  the  morning  is  his  extraonH- 
nary  sense  of  humor,  often  prompting 
him  to  rouse  the-  sub'  or  all*  normal' 
residents  of  his  donnitory  from  a 
sound  sleep  by  his  hearty  guffaws  as 
be  administers  a  hot  foot  to  his  room- 
mate. I  shall  not  attempt  to  cnunic 
rate  his  many  olHcr  peculiar  quali- 
ties, for  it  is  a  task  too  great  to  be 
undertaken  by  an  undergraduata  who 
has  yet  to  spend'  ihrec'  more  years  of' 
rc-scrach   by  an'  undergi^duate. 

The  stage  of  dcvelopmeni  which' Has- 
just  been  discussed'  usually  requires 
four  yeai-s.  although  in  esircmc  cases 
it  may  linger  on  for  six  or  cigbt.  .Vl 
the  end  of  this  time,  the  species  have 
supposedly  completed  their  metamorp- 
hosis, emerging  from  the  cocoon  of  the 
campus  as  a  [ull-fiedged  adtilt,  an 
even  weirder  biological  spcciinDn:  of 
the  prc'ient-clay  world.

THE  Scoreboard 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 


Loyola  Contends  Championship 

Once  again  the  Loyola  College  baseball  team  has  slugged 
its  way  into  the  Mason-Dixon  Championship  diamond  play-offs 
which  commences  this  afternoon  on  the  Greyhounds'  home 
field. 

The  defending  champions  will  square  off  against  the 
Southern  divisional  champions,  Randolph-Macon  in  the  best 
two  out  of  three  series.  The  Yello\v^Jackets  own  a  pitching  staff 
which  has  shut  out  four  of  its  nine  league  rivals  and  boasts  an 
eight  game  winning  record. 

Kaufman  Tops  Loop  Batters 

Eleven  Northern  division  players  are  hitting  the  ball  at 
better  than  a  -300  clip  with  several  games  remaining  in  the  '51 
campaign-  Leading  the  loop  is  Bob  Kaufman,  Western  Mary- 
land's freshman  first  baseman,  who  has  an  even  .500  mark  gain- 
ed through  15  safeties  in  30  times  at  bat  in  league  contests.  Just 
a  step  behind  is  Tom  Harrison,  Hopkins  shortstop,  who  led  the 
circuit  for  a  while  and  is  belting  .480. 

In  the  all-important  runs-batted-in  department,  Bill  Sim- 
mons, Towson  outfielder,  is  leading  with  15,  followed  by  George 
Franz,  Loyola  catcher,  12,  and  Mel  Wright,  Loyola  infielder,  1 1. 

Once  In  A  Lifetime 

This  is  a  once  in  a  lifetime  story  that  ShoVinderkickec 
Kenny  Howard  hopes  will  never  repeat  again  during  his  track 
career  at  Washington  College.  Wayne  Spangler's  so-called  up- 
set victory  over  Howard  in  the  100  yd.  dash  at  the  M-D  Champ- 
ionships will  go  down  in  'the  record  books  as  a  triumph  for 
Spangler  but  many  spectators,  judges,  and  contestants  know 
that  "The  Jet"  breasted  the  tape  a  slim  margin  ahead  of  the 
Bridgewater  dashman. 

The  fii-st  place  judge  gave  the  victor)'  to  Howard,  the 
third  place  judge  gave  the  victory  to  Howard  and  even  Spang- 
ler himself  said  Howard  beat  him.  But — the  second  place  judge 
said  Howard  was  second  and  refused  to  alter  his  decision. 
Sam  Lee  of  Catholic  University,  who  took  third,  also  said 
Howard  broke  the  tape  first,  nevertheless,  a  unanimous  deci- 
sion by  the  judges  was  necessary  to  acclaim  Kenny  the  winner 
and  that  one  judge  refused  to  give  in.  This  is  one  experience 
that  "The  Jet"  hopes  will  remain  a  "Once  in  a  Lifetime."

at  the  Granarj'.  Tuesday  evening,  May 
IS.  An  added  auraciion  lo  the  even- 
ing was  a  brief  resume  of  the  Fovcnsic 
Society  since  its  beginning  in  1946. 
given  by  its  outgoing  rrcsidcnt.  Fred 
Nixon  and  a  report  of  ihU  year's  acti- 
vities bv  Jim   Haebel. 

Highlights  of  the  year  were:  Dr. 
Brown,  who  spoke  on  ■'American 
Democracy  in  the  l*ar  tast,"  Congress- 
man Edward  T.  Miller  from  the  East- 
ern Shore,  a  United  Nations  Sympo-

ton College  history  department.  Dean 
Kayscr  of  George  Wasljingion  Univer- 
sity. Senator  Louis  Goldstein  and 
many  movies  of  current  interest. 

As  outgoing  President.  Fred  Nixon 
cMcnded  his  wishes  lo  incoming  Pre- 
sidcnt.  Jim  Haebel,  and  made  this 
statement.  "While  il  is  with  a  feeling 
of  regret  I  leave  oflicc,  I  doubt  whe- 
ther any  retiring  President  has  ever 
felt  like  the  society  is  being  pm  into 
more  competent  hands.  Jim  has  shown 
his  capabilities  far  better  than  any 
uords  of  mine  could  ever  express." 

The  office  of  vice-president  of  the 
Political  tinion  was  placed  in  the 
hands  of  John  Byhnid.  This  commit- 
tee is  in  charge  of  securing  speakers 
for    the   ^^'.C.    audiences. 

,A  complete  resume  of  the  activities 
of  the  debate  team  was  presented  by 
Charles  Whiisitl.  former  chairman  of 
Ihis  committee  who  ai  the  same  time 
formally  turned  his  office  over  lo  Bill 
Trueih,  The  main  debates  of  the  year 
were:  Johns  Hopkins,  (14  sthools  par- 
ticipated)  W.C.  won  2.  lost  6.  North-

Late  last  fall,  the  Forensic  Society 
added  a  new  division,  that  of  Econo- 
mics and  Sociology  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Bill  Trueth.  This  olDce  was 
turned  over  lo  Bill   Murray. 

Historian  and  Secretary -Treasurer 
olfices  were  exchanged  between  Beity 
Brundage  and  A.  J.  Carr.  Miss  Brund- 
agc  holding  the  treasurer's  job  and

gi-oup  by  Dr.  ChaHes  B.  Clark.  Dean 
of  Men,  and  Mrs.  Winifred  Opgrandc. 
both  founders  of  the  organiwtion.  In 
his  remarks  to  the  sacieiy,  Dr.  Clark 
cited  the  need  for  constantly  keeping 
issues  of  state,  national  and  inicrna- 
lional  character  before  the  student 
body  and  the  community,  emphasizing 
that  students  can  hardly  leave  college 
prepared  for  inteMigeni  citizenship  if 
they  lack  interest  in  and  a  knowledge 
of  the  basic  issues  that  confront  the 
citizenry.  He  urged  the  group  to  at- 
tempi  to  increase  its  active  member- 
ship, but  pointed  out  that  with  the 
close  liasiason  with  the  History  and 
Political  Sccnce  Department,  mosi 
speakers  brought  to  the  campus  had 
spoken  before  large  groups.

The  first  annual  student  show  on 
the  hill  was  held  by  the  art  club.  !i 
was  small  but  of  good  quality.  There 
were  36  entries. 

Mel  Littleton  entered  his  Washing- 
ton College  and  this  was  outstanding. 
Sue  Weber  and  Bob  Brink  shared  (he 
oil  painting  award.  Sue's  snowscape 
was  expression islic,  giving  a  feeling  of 
reality  to  her  integration  of  the  sea- 
sons. Bobs  seascape  was  pure  roman- 
ticism, replete  with  sailing  ships  and 
fishing  gear. 

Consiantine  Tonian  had  the  ward 
for  water  colon  shared  betiveen  two  of 
his  paintings.  .About  one  he  snid,  "I 
worked    six    months   on    it.    I    lost    my 

esighi,       I've      worn      glasses      ever

since."  The  other  was  a  bird  and  flow- 
cr  theme,  very  well  done.  !i  so  hap- 
pens that  this  same  theme  was  re- 
peated on  a  fan  in  another  of  his 
paintings.  Nothing  better  than  this 
gem  could  be  seen  in  any  show  of 
professionals. 

In  pencil,  Betty  Brundagc's  "Ecstacy" 
was  most  suggestive.  "Myra  Mac's" 
use  of  symbolism  within  a  strict  geo- 
metrical formula  suggests  the  liniita- 
tions  to  language  offered  by  the  son- 
net formula  in  poetry.  This  is  the 
sort  of  art  we  read  about  as  "avaui 
garde"  and  do  not  expect  to  sec  at  a 
student  show. 

Aiden  Fotz  was  given  real  competi- 
tion by  Tonian  in  photography.  The 
photograph  selected  was  Fox's  "Shanty 
town",  wherein  light  and  subject  and 
ideology  was  so  exactly  like  that 
famous  by  the  American  artist,  Biich- 
field.  Many  mistake  the  camera  as  a 
tool  for  dcalisiu.  but  here  is  no  realism. 
hc*e  is  magic.  Arden  said.  "I  set  out 
to  get  a  midnight  picture."  What  he 
got  wa.i  art,  a  Sunday  sunrise  of  deep 
religious  feeling. 

jane  Miller  exhibited  two  lovely 
mermaids.  These  manatees  are  spec- 
tacular, being  life  size.  Strictly  the 
bilobatc  tail  would  make  these  du- 
gongs. 

Peggy  Brimer,  president  of  the  Art 
Club,  has  announced  that  at  least  part 
of  the  show  will  be  reshown  in  the 
Library    at    Reid    Hall    this    week

Dog'

•ny  alwajs 


By  Jane  Bradler 


The  pride  and  joy  of  Washington 
College — the  object  of  a  thousand  prac- 
tical jokes— the  black  haired  friend 
who  vrill  never  pass  a  blue  book  noi 
will  he  flunk  one — and  the  only  one 
who  can  gei  awaj  with  open  stealing 
in  the  Snack  Bar.  If  >ou  don't  know 
LOW,  you  neier  will;  it's  Albert,  the 
erv'  congenial  canine  that  is  cver)onc's 
best  friend. 

.Albert,  however,  is  a  chamclion  type 
animal  in  that  he  has  a  diffcrcni 
name  for  each  of  hi?  friends 
him.  Through  thorough  research  and 
through  questioning  Albert  himself,  ii 
has  been  found  ihatc  Albert's  real 
name  is  Pepper,  but  you  could  call 
him  Joe  and  he  would  come  running 
like  you  were  a  hmg  lost  friend. 

There's  something  about  this  insol- 
em  black  dog  that  has  captured  the 
hearts  of  all  Washinglomans  pariicn- 
larh  those  who  spend  a  great  deal  of 
time  in  the  Snack  JBar.  He  is  notorious 
for  stealing  \our  donuts  while  jou  are 
getting  \our  second  cup  of  coffee  and 
for  wagging  his  (ail  under  the  table, 
upsetting  books  and  all  the  dishes,  but 
everyone  still  iikes  him. 

Forensic  sponsored  Polilicil 
Rallies,  a  Thursday  night  habit,  have 
io  interested  the  'dog  of  a  thousand 
mes."  M  Ihe  latest  meeting  in  the 
interest  of  politics.,  Albert  made  a 
grand  entrance  on  to  the  stage,  mistook 
the  stage  curtains  for  a  fire  plug  and 
poljielv  left  ihe  forum. 

Albert  ha-i  a  terrific  school  spirit  ex- 
cept that  he  fraternizes  loo  freely  with 
he  opposing  team's  ma>co(s:  He  view. 
^1  the  Swarthmore-W.  C.  game  in  the 
company  o  f  a  big  while  animal  from 
Philadelphia.  It  has  been  said  that 
Albert  is  in  on  all  ihc  secret  plays  o( 
the  football  team.  He  hope  he  uses  his 
head  while  in  such  company.  The 
score  seemed  to  prove  thai,  however, 
-\s  for  Albert's  personal  life  . 
»e  know  he  cats  R«l  lle-nrt  Dog  Food 
long  with  Ibe  conglomcrjiion  of  food 
from  the  Snack  Bar  and  Hodson  Hall. 
{He  iveari  a  Rol  Heart  lag  than  may 
be  gotten  for  1'tc  and  a  wrapper).  He 
alio  has  a  CTooVed  tail  that  some  have 
heard  teO  ■was  caught  in  a  scrccin  door. 
He  like*  lo  get  up  early  .  .  .  Bob  Jack- 
son and  Mel  Liiilcion  will  vouch  for 
that  .  .  _  he  used  to  he  their  personal 
alarm  tWt.  He  doesn't  get  along  too - 
well  with  goals  as  was  witnessed  the  ' 
day  the  Animal  Show  rame  to  Chester 
town.  HdonV  one  lixik  at  "Billy"  and 
Hew  the  other  -way. 

Albert,  or  fepper. 
want  to  call  him  .  .  .  may  have  a  lot  of 
faults,  but  he  in  a  gcnxl  spori,  has  a 
wonderful  sense  of  humor  and  we 
would  reaHy  hmm  him  if  he  ever  de- 
cided lo  lake  a  posi  graduate  course 
somewhere  «lw. 


Washington     College,     resort     > 

Shore, 
Where    daytime    is    playtime: 

haven  and  more; 
The  students  have  auios;  professors  all 

walk. 
Insiruciors   are   quiet;   the  classes   all 

talk. 
Where   tests  are   a   snap  and   nobody 

studies. 
The  deans  and   the  playboys  arc  Ihe 

biggest  of  buddies. 
The  snack  bar  sells  beer,  doesn't  bother 

with  cokes: 
Professors  don't  lecture,  they  icll  dirty 

jofcB. 
The  food  is  supreme,  a  delight  to  the

Every  morsel's  devoured  and  none  goes 

ivasic. 
The  coeds  are  out  rill  weehours  neaih

Unlimited   cuts,  so   Ihey   all   nap   till

Dances   and    parlies   and   picnics   and

A  maid  for  each  room  why  is  there  at

Night-life's  ihe  right  life  at  old  Wash.

Money  flows  freely,  there's  more  when

Her  history's  unique,  though   old  age 

is  upon  her. 
Life  ai  old  Washington  none  can  deny, 
-Might    be   considered    the   highest   ot

For  our  dear  alma  mater  needs  nought

OX  men  ihis  year  have  had  the  best 
year  since  their  organization  on  the 
hill.  They  were  active  in  all  the  many 
organizations  and  clubs  on  campu! 
The  social  season  of  the  OX  men  iva 
highlighted  on  February  10  with  th 
basketball  game  against  the  Thcia  Chis 
from  Drexel.  This  game  was  won  by 
Beta  Eta  handily.  It  was  followed  by 
Ihe  annual  OX  hop.  This  years  Dream 
Girl  was  Ruth  Roe,  who  is  engaged  to 
Lou  Blizzard,  a  Thcta  Chi  of  last  year. 
She  was  presented  the  corsage  and 
trophy  by  Mrs.  Sue  Horn  Duckworth, 
St  year's  Dream  Girl. 

Men  who  were  active  in  the  Wash- 
ington Palyers  are  Jim  Beach  and  Joe 
Ingarra.  Jim  was  a  hit  in  the  Devil 
and  Daniel  Webster,  while  Joe  teamed 
with  him  in  The  Man  Who  Came  to 
Dinner. 

This  year  some  new  men  were  wel- 
comed into  OX  by  the  Brothers.  The)- 
are:  John   Wilson.  Steve   McHalc,  Bill 


During  the  sumer  and  up  unlif  No- 
vember, ihe  members  were  all  at  work 
constructing  articles  for  our  annual 
charity  bazaar,  which  featured  a  muscle 
flexing  act,  a  Chinese  auction,  penny 
pitching,  a  grab  bag,  fortune  telling, 
handiwork  table,  and  cake  and  wndy 
table.       • 

In  the  Stunt  Night  activity,  sponsor- 
ed by  Ihe  Inter-fraternity  Council  for 
a  football  scholai^hip,  some  of  the 
"gals"  became  "giiys"  to  act  out  "Urch" 
Bowes  Wetzel's  song  •"Ihc  Guys  and 
Gals  from  Wa.shington  College." 

The  close  of  the  first  .semester  found 
us  losing  four  of  our  girls.  Kay  Ponder, 
Polly  Koumjian,  Carolyn  Brant,  and 
Barb  Brasure,  who  had  completed  their 
studies  for  graduation.  Eight  days 
after  the  slari  of  the  second  semester, 
wc  presented  our  informal  party,  an 
imitation  of  Kay  Kyser's  College  of 
Musical  Knowledge,  with  Grace  Isele, 
a  new  pledge,  highlighting  the  show 
with  her  performance  of  Spike  Jones' 
"William  Tell  Overture"  and  Dian 
Latshaw  and  Elly  Doimand  presenting 
their  version  of  "The  Thing." 

When  bids  came  out,  the  AOII's  wel- 
comed eight  new  members — Saylee,

In  Defense 
Of  Spring 
Ferer 

By  Dick  Welde 

Bv  ihe  time  this  is.iue  of  The  Elm 
appears  it  muy  be  winter  again,  hut  at 
[he  present  moment  tide  land  alwunds 
ivith  symptoms  of  spring  and  an  epi- 
lemic  of  spring  fever  saems  to  be  gett- 
ing under  wav.  unseasonable  as  it  is. 
Usually  Ihis  matter  of  spring  leier  is 
looked  upon  as  an  incubas  of  the  most 
malicious  intent,  reducing  mankind  to 
idiotic  blobs  of  protoplasm  wishing 
nothing  more  iKan  lo  bask  in  the  noon- 
day  sun.  There  can  be  no  doubt  that 
such  a  state  of  stupificstion  detracts 
from  the  noblest  endeasors  of  man. 
and  is  to  be  avoided  aad  oMidcmncd 
etcn  to  the  extent  of  ostraridng  iis  un- 
forlunaie  victims  for  fear  of  spreading 
Ihe  contagion. 

Perhaps  this  is  the  v/rong  attitude. 
Perhaps  spring  fnxcr  is  merely  an  all 
too  Heeling  realization  that  man  in 
some  primordial  day  lived  a  simpler 
and  happier  life  withoat  being  torn 
assunder  by  his  own  ambition.  There 
were  no  noble  endeavors  then,  and' 
man  found  it  possible-  to  gei  along 
without  a  thousand  modern  nuisances 
simply  because  he  hadn't  sold  them  lo 
himself  yet.  Somewhere  along  the  line- 
somebody  goi  ambitious  and  invented' 
something  and  his  neighbor,  naturally 
"."  ri"  coveting  it,  copied' it.  And  so  ihe  race 
was  on.  Things  went  from  bad  to 
worse  after  the  invention  of  money 
until  man  reachetf  his  present  state  ot 
fooli.shness, 

Ii  is  indeed  imfonitnaie,  howevi^. 
that  laihough  everyone  at  one  rime 
another  is  subject  lo  spring  fever,  mcnt 
cases  recover  and  those  few  wlto  are 
chronic  suff^erers  (that  is  to  say_  those 
who  reali/c  the  utter  futility  of  life 
today)  an  branded  "bums"  by  society 
rather  than  being  accorded  the  honi 
ihai  is  due  them  as  great  philosophers.

THE 


Scoreboard 

By  Ellsivorlh  Boyd 


As  the  s 


:  spnng  sporting  season  draws  to  a  close  on  the  Shore,  and 
the  Maroon  and  Black  uniforms  are  packed  away  for  another  year 
the  Sho  men  have  commendable  records  to  boast  of,  for  this  year's 
spring  sports  finale. 

The  lacrosse  squad,  under  the  guidance  of  their  uneqnaled 
coach,  Charhe  Clark,  has  terminated  the  '51  campaign  with  the 
finest  stick  team  since  the  inception  of  the  game  here  at  Washington 
College.  Although  their  record  is  the  same  as  last  year,  10  victories 
and  3  defeats,  this  year's  team  was  pitted  against  several  of  the 
nation's  top  tens,  including  Duke  which  was  tied  for  the  national 
title.  , 

A  strong  Navy  team  set  the  Shore  school  off  to  a  bad  start 
however,  Hofstra,  Adelphi,  Swarthmore,  Lehigh,,  and  the  Un.  of 
North  Carolina  fell  in  rapid  succession  to  the  weil-vcrsed  Chester- 
town  stick  wieldcrs.  The  second  match  of  the  Southern  tour  marred 
the  Maroon  and  Black  victory  string,  as  the  depth  of  the  Bluedevil 
squad  spelled  victory  by  a  one  point  margin.  Nevertheless,  the 
Clarkmen  proved  their  stick  ability  by  surmounting  West  Chester 
Western  Md.,  Loyola,  the  Un.  of  Delaware  and  Baltimore  Un' 
while  they  conceding  to  a  high  spirited  Mt.  Washington  ten. 

Coach  Clark  expects  to  do  a  little  rebuilding  for  the  '52  season, 
as,  2  midfielders,  2  defensemen  and  1  attackman  are  destined  to 
graduate.  However,  a  strong  reserve  unit  will  be  available  and  an 
experienced  goalie.  Bill  Russell,  should  considerably  thwart  opposing 
forces. 

Depdi  Problem 

The  Sho'  thinclads  terminated  their  dual  meet  encounters  with 
a  2  won  and  3  lost  record  which  was  highly  successful,  considering 
the  limited  number  of  men  who  scored  points.  Their  hinderance  | 
was  not  lack  of  ability,  but  lack  of  depth.     The  surprise  of  the 


Wood  Sets 

National 

Record 


By  Rod  Ware 

Lcland  Ray  Wood  may  be  a  strange 
name  to  many  persons  on  campus, 
but  there  is  a  certain  red  headed 
senior  who  I'm  sure  will  answer  to  it. 
"Rip",  or  "Dad"  as  he  is  better 
known,  has  made  himself  quite 
known  and  feared  by  a  great  many 
lacrosse  players  and  coaches, 

'Dad"    started    his    lacrosse    career 

Forest  Park  High  School  in  Balti- 
more. While  he  was  enrolled  thi 
the  best  he  could  do  was  hold  down 
a  second  string  position.  However, 
something  came  over  the  quiet-naturcd 
red-head  during  his  year  and  a  half 
stretch  in  the  army,  for  when  he 
arrived  at  Washington  College  in 
1948,  he  jumped  into  a  starting  roll 
for  the  Shore  ten. 

In  his  freshman  year,  Woody  tal- 
lied 40  goals  to  start  a  very  enviable 
career.  Hia  next  season,  he 
scoring  record  of  62  goals  that  stood 
up  until  Don  Swan  beat  him  by  three 
goals  this  year.  In  his  junior  and. 
senior  years,  "Dad"  registered  38  and 
47  goals  respectively. 

When  ihe  record  books  were  ex- 
amined, "Rip"  found  out  that  he  had 
'  national  scoring  record  for 
four  years  of  lacrosse.  His  187  tallies 
bettered   the  old    record  of    146, 

isly     held     by    Lee    Chambers    of

quite  over  confident  at  the  outset  of  the  meet. 

"Captain"  Jim  Twilley  ended  his  4  year  track  career  at  the 
top  of  the  Mason-DIxon  and  Middle  Atlantic  contingent  of  cinder- 
kickers  as  he  successfully  filled  the  shoes  of  former  Shore  star,  Larry 
Brandenburg.  High  scoring  Kenny  Howard,  one  of  the  topnotch 
ninncrs  to  ever  set  foot  on  the  Washington  cinderpath,  excelled 
proficiently  during  the  entire  season,  aspiring  a  buoyant  future  ahead 


of  him. 


Netmen  Look  Ahead 


siders  that  he  was  consistant  in  scoi 
ing — never  netting  more  than  scve 
goals  in  any  one  game. 

Dad  has  been  pursuing  a  major  i 
economics  while  not  weilding  a  la 
crosse  stick.  He  isn't  quite  sure  of  hi 
plans  for  the  future,  but  we  all  hope 
that  whatever  he  undertakes  will  yield 
him  as  much  admiration  as  has  his 
slay  on  the  Washington  campus.  Good

The  Washington  College  tennis  team  has  finally  obtained  some   ,w 
real  courts  to  cavort  upon.    Although  the  C.  U.  racketeers  dropped   HOWHrd,   TwilleV 

the  Shoe'men  to  the  defeated  rank.s,  they  retaliated  against  Towson  -       -  -     - 

when  Coach  Tom  Elliason  discovered  several  talented  newcomers 

who  showed  promise  for  the  future.    Bill  Brandt  is  the  lone  graduate 

this  year  which  means  Coach  Elliason  will  have  the  Wyckoff  Bros 

Jack  Smith,  Bill  Murray,  Al  Zaioski  and  Tony  Tonian  returning. 

This  experienced  crew  should  be  a  contender  for  the  M-D  title  next 

season,  if  they  remain  intact.

duate of  "34  and  one  of  the  top 
stickmen  of  that  year.  .\n  eKciiing

craddle  that  net, 

Del  Led  By  .Swan 
At  3:30  P.  M.  the  Chesicrtown 
school's  first  team  will  match  goals 
with  Ihe  Blue  Hens  in  an  exhibition 
affair  which  may  possibly  become  an 
annual  festivity  of  homecoming  activi- 
lies  each  ye;ir.  The  host  squad  boasts 
a  record  of  10  victories  and  3  defetats 
one  o(  the  conquests  being  over  the 
Delaware  team  May  8^  when  the  visi- 
tors were  surmounted.  14-2. 
However,  the  Newark  iiivaden  were 
I  without  their  national  high  scorer  f}i 
'the  year.  Don  Swan,  who  has  tallied 
G5  goals  during  the  "51  season. 

Swan  was  sidelined  with  an  injury 
May  8.  Since  this  is  not  an  official 
fracas,  the  Blue  Hen  coach,  Milton 
Robert.s  has  requested  to  join  his  team 
on  the  field.  A  former  Hopkins  star. 
Roberts  has  progrcwed  rapidly  with  his 
team  which  turned  in  a  fine  perfor- 
mance this  spring.  Teaming  with 
Swan,  Roberts  will  be  a  key  man  in 
the  tititors'  surge  for  revenge. 
Last  of  the  "Indian.s" 
This  game  will  mark  the  final  ap 
pearance  of  five  Washington  seniors. 
They  are,  t<l  Letinard.  Ray  Wooil, 
Duke  Case.  Larry  Westcott  and  Harry 
Kabernagel.  The  set  are  the  "last  of 
[he  Indians  "who  were  instrumental 
in  reviving  the  sport  here  in  19t8. 
They  have  all  turned  in  a  fine  job  and 
will  always  be  a  credit  to  Washington 
College.  r 


Washington  College  closed  its  offi- 
cial 1951  lacrosse  season.  May  5,  by 
downing  Baltimore  University,  17-11, 
at   Baltimore's  Hcrrintt  Run'  I*ark. 

Leading  the  Sho'men'  to-  their  final 
victory  of  the  season  were  Ray  Wood, 
Graham  Mcnzirs  and  Larry  Leonard 
'ith  four  goals  each.  Charley  Beaslcy 
also  scored  four  times  to  pace  the 
losers. 

Others   contributing   to   the  scoring 

the     Cheatertowncrs     were    John 


for 


Grim    and    Eddie    Leonard    with    two 

each,  while  Bobby  Jackson  counted  for 

a  single  tally. 

In   bagging   their   tenth   victory   in 

I'J   outings,   the  Sho'men   displayed   a 

clever  passing  attack  with  which   (he 
Ices  were  unable  to  cope. 
.\flcr    taking    an    early    first    period 

lead,  the  Shore  ten  was  never  hcad- 
d.  The  closest  the  Baltimorcans  were 
ible  to  come  was  in  the  second  frame, 
vhen  they  deadlocked  the  score  at 
-4.    However,    two    goals    by    Wood 

ami  OTYe  each  by  Larry  Leonard  and

Athlete 
Of  Week 


When  the  diplomas  arc  handed  out 
tomorrow  altcrnoon,  there  will  be  one 
Washington  athlete  who  will  be  sorely 
missed  in  the  sports'  picture  through 
his  Graduation.  He  is  "Versatile"  Lee 
Cook  who  has  participated  in  three 
years  of  varsity  basketball  and  four 
years  of  tract  during  his  career  al 
the  Shore  school.  As  president  of  the 
varsity  clufc  last  year  and  an  out- 
standing ptrlormcr  of  the  track  squad, 
"Lee  C."  has  been  tabbed  as  one  of 
the  most  wctl-versed  athletes  to  ever 
leave  the  Chcstcrtown  school. 
"Corskaddan" 
Lee  has  other  sports  pastimes, 
especially  swimming,  bowling  and 
golf.  His  musical  talents  arc  many  and 
on  the  track  team,  he  is  a  five  event 
man.  Lee  gets  "a  big  kick"  out 
doing  a  little  bit  of  cvct>thing,  h 
ever,  according  to  Lee  he  "doesn't 
profess  to  be  good  in  any  one  of 
them."  His  modcsl  tone  and  easy 
manner  are  characteristic  of  this  sofi 
spoken  senior.  \o  one  knew  his  mid 
die  name  until  "Cookie"  was  initiated 
into  Thcta  Chi  fraternity  4  years  ago. 
When  his  full  name  was  called  out, 
"Lcc  'Carskaddan  Cook,"  the  laugh- 
ter was  overcome  only  by  "Carskad- 
dan's"    reddening   face ! 

Lee  said  he  "used  to  play  a  little 
baseball"  when  he  was  small  but  ' 
hit  on  the  head  by  a  spccdball"  and 
that  was  when  he  came  out  for  track! 
His  most  thrilling  experience  in  the 
thinclad  sport  was  in  a  dual  meet 
against  Johns  Hopkins  in  '49.  "Car- 
skadden"  leaped  2\'R"  in  the  broad 
jump,  to  edge  Jay  star  Fred  Weigert 
for  1st  place  honors. 

Enjovs  Beating  Hopkins 

"Lee  C.'s"  most  ihrillinc;  moment 
was  experienced  on  the  hardwood 
against  the  Jays  in  1941.  After  throw- 


ing up  a  shot  that  almost  splintered 
the  backboard,  he  followed  the  re- 
nd with  a  one  hand  push  in  the 
dying  moments  of  the  contest,  enab- 
ling the  Maroon  and  Black  to  emerge 
victorious,  58-57, 

^Vhcn  Lcc  Cook  receives  his  degree 
tomorrow,  his  abserice  will  undoubted- 
ly be  noted  by  every,  sports  fan  on 
the  hill.  'I        *  '

Busted

By    Marniaduke 

As  I  stood  Kith  my  dear  leachcr 
Professor  Cribeasy  at  the  counter  of 
Man's  Greasy  Spoon  munching  on  the 
free  stiaws  and  spitting  welI^rhcned 
greetings  to  the  nicaslv  mob  buried  in 
books,  I  spied  niv  old  friend  Eeor 
Lumpjaw.  fiHiiball  hero  and  B.M.O.C, 
of  Tappa  Kegga  Day  Fraierniiv.  With 
one  jump  I  hopped  to  the  counter 
and  proceeded  lo  run  in  the  direction 
of  my  old  pal.  Halv  way  down  I  slip- 
ped on  a  pan  of  olco  and  fell  into  the 
herd  that  was  stampeding  from  one 
class  lo  another.  Fearing  thai  I  might 
be  run  over.  I  did  not  figlit  but  Ici 
myself  be  pushed  along.  Suddenly 
something  \anked  me  by  the  neck 
and  I  found  myself  thrown  down  a 
chute.  When  I  got  op  I  found  that 
besides  my  broken  arm  and  sprained 
pelvis  I  was  unhurt.  Looking  to  the 
from  of  the  i-oom  I-saw  one  student 
standing  against  the  wall  and  a  student 
firing  squad  about  u.  make  cheese  of 
him.  The  ghoul  nevi  u,  me  told  me 
that  I  had  dropped  In  on  the  best 
course  in  the  schoi>l.  Execution  101

Intramural 
SoftbaU 


The  surprising  East  Hall  nine  pull- 
ed the  biggest  upsei  of  the  intra- 
mural season  by  beating  Theta  Chi 
8-6  to  win  the  championship.  East 
Hall,  seeded  fourth,  had  been  in  the 
second  division  of  the  league  most  of 
the  season,  but  with  a  miraculous  k 
season  drive,  they  came  up  to  take  it 
all. 

Frcdericlis  Hils  Honicr 

East  Hall's  winning  runs  came 
the  si.vth  inning  with  two  out  and 
Kenny  Howard  on  second  base.  Power 
hitter  Jack  Fredericks  then  slugged  a 
home  run.  The  winning  blow  came 
one  inning  a/ler  East  Hall  had  staged 
a  three  run  rally  to  tic  the  red  and 
white  6-6,  after  the  latter  nine  had 
been   leading  most  of  the  contest. 

East  Hall's  tying  marker  was  scor- 
ed on  the  smartest  and  boldest  play 
seen  this  season  on  the  softball 
mond.  With  Danny  Samele  on  first 
and  Steve  Mastriana  on  third, 
double  steal  was  attempcted,  and  both 
men  reached   ihc  sacks  safely. 

Kenny  SulHvan,  the  losing  pitcher, 
allowed  only  seven  hits,  while  Kenny 
Howard  was  hit  nine  times,  but  with 
little  power.  Bob  Early  scored  the  first 
run  of  the  game  in  the  second  inn- 
ing to  give  Theta  Chi  an  early  I-O 
lead.  In  the  third,  the  Thcta  Chi 
club  added  three  more  runs  jn  a  rally 
led  by  Kenny  Sullivan's  two  run 
homer. 

Double  Steal 

\'inny  Magliocchetti  sent  Thcta 
Chi  ahead  5-0  with  a  triple  that  sent 
home  Jim  Twilley,  but  in  the  fourth 
frame  Danny  Samele  and  Jack  Nac- 
rclli  drove  in  three  runs  to  close  the 
gap.  Then  in  the  fifth  Jack  Fredericks 
hit  a  triple  to  drive  in  two  more,  and 
then  the  double  steal  occured  and 
East  Hall  moved  ahead. 

However,  losing  pitcher  Sullivan  hit 
a  triple  with  a  man  on  in  the  top  of 
the  si.vth  to  even  it  up  again.  But  the 
inning  was  ended  without  further 
damage  to  East  Hall  and  in  the  lower 
half  of  the  inning,  Fredericks  hit  his 
powerful  home  run.  The  game  ended 
with  Lou  Morris  stranded  on  third  as 
Howard  pitched  out  of  difficulty  in  the 
last  inning  lo  take  the  win.

My  particular  hobby  does  not  come 
under  the  heading  ot  unitjue  noii,  for 
that  mattcf,  does  the  dasificadon  of 
peculiar  quite  hi  the  cnse.  Let  us  say 
instead  that  this  hobby  of  mine  is — 
u lit— different  .  .  .  Well,  to  be  more 
explicit,  my  hobby  is  talking.  I  will 
talk  about  nothing,  something,  or  more 
preferably  everything.  Talking  is  an 
art;  however,  the  way  I  do  it,  it's  a 
crime. 

1  was  launched  on  this  hobby  of 
mine  at  3  very  early  age— seven,  to  be 
esact-  1  had  talked  myself  out  of  my 
first  childhooil  fight.  The  neighbor- 
hood in  which  1  lived  was  presided 
over  by  a  lad  of  ten.  who  was  ciuiic 
large  and  strong  for  his  age.  Well,  one 
fine  day  this  monstor  decided  to  put 
me  in  my  place  physically.  1  was  defi- 
nitely scared  giecn  by  this  uncomfort 
able  prospect,  so  I  suddenly  started 
lalking  and  lo  tliK  day  I  still  don 
know  what  1  said.  I  talked  so  fast 
and  furiously  thai  the  chap  got  all 
confused  and  eventually  I  had 
vinced  him  not  to  plaster  me,  but  to 
go  and  clip  a  few  of  his  friends  whi 
■ei-c  doing  him  wrong.  (I  just  didn't 
ke  some  of  his  friends).  Well,  to 
lake  a  long  story  short,  I  finally  per- 
iiaded  this  big-time  character  into  sup. 
porting  me  as  new  neighborhood  bos*. 
(Dirty  politics  at  such  an  early  age. 
my.  my). 

High  School  saw  me  further  perfect- 
ing m\  hobby  by  ihe  way  of  debating 
clubs,  dramatic  productions,  speech 
organizations,  and  any  other  means  by 
■hich  I  could  get  my  vocal  cords  over- 
tvorked. 
1  can  recall  an  incident  which  nccitr- 
1  in  my  third  year  English  class.  We 
happened  to  be  reading  Julius  Ceasar 
It  that  time — that  is,  the  teacher  and  I 
terc  reading  ii  while  the  rest  of  the 
clas5  was  sleeping.  The  reading  was  to 
lavc  taken  two  Weeks,  but  I  did  it  lor 
:liem  in  one  period. 

My  last  year  in  high  schcxi)  saw  Ihe 
downing  moment  in  my  hobby.  I  was 
ielecicd  to  actvs  master  of  ceremonies 
It  an  asembly  program;  all  I  had  to  do 
was  introduce  the  acts,  and  I  also  had 
to  give  a  simple  speech  on  keeping  ihe 
locker  room  clean  (lecjuesicd  by  the 
principle).  Prior  Ki  my  entrance  on 
ihe  stage  I  had  a  fight  with  the  as- 
sembly director,  and  this  fight  left  me 
roaring  mad.  The  assembly  started  al  , 
eleven  and  was  supposed  to  end  at 
tweUe — at  a  quarter  past  twelve  1  was  I 
still  lalking.  I  was  so  mad  when  I 
went  on  stage  I  decided  to  tell  the 
whole  student  body  just  what  1 
Ihoughi  of  the  school  and  faculty,  aspe- 
cially  ihe  assembly  director. 

Whenever  I  am  with  a  group  and 
one  of  those  inevitable  lulls  m  conver- 
sation occurs,  I  can  be  counted  on  lo 
keep  the  conversation  going  and  even- 
tually ir>'  K,  dominate  it.  My  gccai 
est  asset  in  this  bobby  of  mine  is  the 
fact  thai  r  have  ne»er  been  afraid  of 
people  and  speaking.  The  many  times 
I  have  been  called  upon  to  speak  l>e- 
fore  a  grinip  of  people,  I  have  yet  to 
have  used  a  picparcd  speech.  I  much 
prefer  lo  speak  extemporaneously  as  I 
am  never  ai  a  loss  for  words. 

An  example  of  how  my  hobby  effects 
people  is  the  case  of  riiy  roommate 
Harold  Garrett.  When  I  first  met 
Harold  he  was  a  civil  person  and  he 
often  Used  to  say  a  few  words  of  greet- 
ing and  quite  frequently  he  would 
comment  on  the  meals,  Noiv  all  he 
dues  is  grunt  when  spoken  to,  and  he 
has  developed  a  noticeable  twitch  a- 
round  the  corners  of  his  mouth. 


Rernic  Rudo.  veteran  lacrosse  ani^ 
ba.skciball  man  was  electd  recently 
lo  serve  as  president  of  the  Varsity 
Club.  The  other  officers  also  elected

Bi-ogan,  secreiary:  and  Vince  Maglio. 
clictti  as  treasurer. 

The  gionp  is  open  to  those  men 
t\\o  have  have  received  3  Varsity  let- 
ters. They  take  an  active  par,t  in  cam. 
pus  activities,  sponsoring  the  Home- 
coming Dance  and  assisting  in  pep 
lallics  during  the  fall. 

Past  president  of  the  group  is  Lee  C.

team  and  participated  in  field  events 
with    the    track    team.      Other    officers

Frosh  Class 
Begins  Hazing 

The  Freshman  class  can  now  be 
identified  by  maroon  caps  and  name 
tags  as  Sophomore  hazing  gets  under 
way  at  Washington  College. 

Through  plans  adopted  by  the 
Sophomore  Hazing  Board,  all  Fresh- 
men must  wear  W.C.  "dinks"'  at  all 
times  with  name  tags  prominently 
displayed  across  the  front,  and  they 
will  have  to  leave  earlier  for  classes 
to  arrive  on  time  without  walking 
on  ihe  "T"  or  cutting  campus.  To 
the  uppcrclassmen,  the  Freshmen  must 
give  preference  in  the  dining  hall 
and  in  the  assembly  hall,  plus  address- 
ing all  upperclassmen  by  their  last 
names  and   Miss  and   Mister. 

The  Sophomore  Hazing  Board, 
headed  by  John  Minnich  and  con- 
sisting of  several  representatives  of 
the  Sophomore  class  will  try  all  vio- 
lations of  the  rules  and  vote  upon 
a  suitable  punishment  for  the  of- 
fense. 

A  deciding  factor  in  the  battle 
between  the  Freshmen  and  Sopho- 
mores will  come  at  the  end  of  the 
three  week  period  of  hazing.  "To  the

From  The  President 

Dear  Wasliingtonians; 

One  of  the  so-called  "fringe  benefits"  of  being  in  college  work 
—in  which  1  include  being  a  college  student— is  the  pleasure  each 
tall  of  greeting  a  new  academic  year  and  making  a  fresh  start.  To 
put  it  more  personally,  the  pleasure  of  greeting  one's  students  and 
classmates,  both  old  and  new,  after  a  summer's  absence  from  one 
another.  I  would  like  to  make  my  own  greetings  pei-sonal,  but  since 
I  have  not  had  the  opportunity  in  all  instances  so  far,  I  mil  at 
least  say  here.  Welcome! 

Not  oniy  the  fresh  start,  but  also  the  frequent  sense  of  accom- 
plishment during  the  college  year,  is  almost  unique  to  formal 
education.  Regulariy  recorded  grades,  the  progression  from  one 
semester  to  another,  and  from  one  class  level  to  another,  seem  to 
have  little  equivalent  in  the  life  after  college.  Recognizing  that  is 
■  anodier  of  those  adjustments  one  must  make  after  getting  into  his 
life's  work.  Of  course,  there  are  promotions  and  changing  duties; 
but  the  chronological  regularity  of  them  disappears.  Indeed,  accord- 
ing to  the  personnel  director  of  one  large  corporation,  one  of  their 
major  morale  problems  arisen  from  the  fact  that  many  employees, 
just  out  of  high  school,  fret  because  tliey  are  not  regularly  promoted 
every  few  mondis — and  do  not  recogni2e  that  promotion  is  based 
on  increased  accomplishment,  not  merely  on  job-holding. 

Close  friendships,  regular  sense  of  accomplishments,  and  youth 
— is  it  anv  wonder  college  graduates  look  back  upon  their  under- 
graduate davs  with  nostalgia?  There  is  no  time  like  it — as  Chaucer 
would  say.  nowhere,  nohow.  Make  the  most  of  it.  Remember  that 
in  1982  most  of  you  will  be  around  when  ^Vashin,gton  College 
celebrates  its  200th  anniversary:  and  many  of  you  \^-ill  see  the  year 
2000.  What  you  do  this  year  will  help  to  determine  what  you  will 
.be  doing  then.  Good  luck!

Introducing  .  .  . 

The  New  FACULTY 


By  Anne  Simonds 
'Evenonc  knows  Miss  Marguerite 
^tz.  She  needs  no  introduction.  Even 
£f  you  don't  know  her  personally, 
you  know  her  good  work;  she  is  the 
genius  in  Hodson  Hall  that  competes 
with   the   snack   bar. 

Miss  Betz  attended  the  high  school 
in  Englewood,  New  Jervy,  and  stud- 
ied diatetics  at  Columbia  Univcraity. 
Since  then,  as  she  puU  it,  she  has 
been  collecting  colleges.  Most  recently 
she  has  been  at  Goueher  College  for 
'four  >-cars  and  previous  to  that  she 
upenl  nine  years  at  Maryland  College 
for  Women,  Her  part  time  home  is 
^n  Luthenillc,  Md.,  although  she 
spends  most  of  her  months  on  the 
job.  Her  hobby,  rather  surprisingly, 
is   not   cooking   but    the   collecting   of 


To  Miss  Betz,  the  snack  bar  pre- 
sents no  menacing  competition.  She 
feeb  that  college  students  cat  one 
continuous  meal  from  dawn  to  well 
past  dusk.  Such  being  the  case,  the 
snack  bar  represents  a  necessity  on 
the  college  campus. 

During  the  coming  months  Miss 
Betz  plans  to  enlarge  the  college 
menu.  Any  suggestions  from  students 
arc  welcome.  As  yet  she  has  not  com- 
pletely organized  her  kitchen,  but 
when  she  finishes  that  job  she  plans 
to  set  a  new  standard  for  Hodson 
Hall. 

Miss  Betz  is  part  of  the  college  and 
she    likes    us.    From    looking    at    our 
empty     plates     in     Hodson     Hall. 
would    seem    that    we    like    her. 
us    hope    that    she    makes    this 
home  for  many  years  to  come.

brought    many    fine    ideas    for    a    new 
and  better  year  and  the  best  wishes 
of   our    sisters. 

Janice  Palmer  and  Barbara  Riggs,  an 
Alpha  Chi  from  the  University  of 
Maryland,  were  cattle  judging  in 
England  on  the  Manland  4-H  team 
which  won  the  contest  in  the  U.  S. 
and  therefore  competed  in  the  inter-

that  the  Maryland  team  wonl 

Our  room  looks  lovely  now.  It 
beams  with  a  new  coat  of  paint. 
Mickey  painted  our  coat  of  arms 
for.  above  the  fireplace.  When  the 
reconstruction  ends  we  should  be 
handsome. 

Welcome  back,  Fran.  We've  missed 
you.  Greetings  and  a  hearty  welcome 
to  all  the  freshmen.  Hope  you  like 
our  college. 

Look  for  the  carnation  girl  of  the 
month! 

ALPHA  OMEGA  NU 

All   of   the   dust   has   been   cleared 
out    of    the    house    and    the    boys    of 
A.    O.    Nu    are    planning    bigger    a 
better   things   for  this   year. 

We  wish  to  extend   a  big   hello 
all    of    the    returning    uppcrclassmcn 
and   a   hearty   welcome    to    the    fresh 
men   of  Washington   College. 

A  few  new  guests  have  moved  into 
the  house  —  Joe  Capobianco,  Jack 
McCuIlough,  Hcnr>-  Flynn,  Mike 
Rossi,    Lee    DeWitt    and    Bob    Rouse. 

"Uncle  Waldo, "  that  linament  you 
have  been  rubbing  on  your  soccer- 
sore  muscles  certainly  shouldn't  make 
you  sing  "Sweet  Adolinc"  all  nicrht! 
K.A. 
boys  at  the  house  don't  see 
much  of  Bruce  Wykoff  and  Bob  Jack- 
1  these  days.  Guess  they  must  be 
ful  busy  with  school  work  or  some- 

Thc  Beta  Omega's  have  a  new 
house  manager  in  Ray  Proom.  Ray 
says  he  will  be  plenty  tough  on  the 
fellow  to  clean  up  the  place.  Moving 
up  to  treasurer  is  Fred  LaWall.  Leon 
Benjamin  asked  to  be  relieved  of  the 
treasurer's  job  in  order  to  devote 
more  time  to  studies.  We  know  the 
new   officer    will    do    a    good    job. 

Following  is  a  list  of  those  who 
will  now  provide  for  two  as  of  this 
summer:  Fillmore  Dryden,  Ken  Wet- 
zel, Don  Elliott,  Bob  Hermann,  Ray 
Sutton  and  Frank  Byham.  Good  luck, 
brothers !

Meeting 
The  Frosh 


By  Ramona   Willey 

Editor's  Note:  One  of  the  most 
popular  features  of  last  year's  Elm 
of  articles  entitled  "These  Are 
Your  Frosh",  which  presented  a 
series  of  sketches  on  some  of  last 
year's  more  outstanding  freshmen. 
We  feel  that  there  exists  a  need 
for  a  similar  scries  this  year  and 
will  therefore  inaugurate  this  week 
a  collection  of  brief  biographical 
pictures  of  some  of  our  frosh  with 
the  hope  that  it  will  enable  all  of 
us  to  get  to  know  them  just  a  lit- 
tle sooner  and  a  little  better  than 
we  might.

When  your  reporter  asked  Ginny 
what  she  though  of  Washingion  Col-

As  an  aid  to  students  planning  to 
enter  profeisional  line*  of  work,  a 
cooperative  grrangcmcnt  has  been 
made  with  accredited  professional 
schoob  so  that  siudcnU  may  receive 
their  undergraduate  degrees  from 
Washington  College  after  the  comple- 
tion of  three  years  of  academic  work 
and  a  specified  amount  of  study  in 
a    profrsiional    school. 

In  nursing,  this  degree  may  be  re- 
ceived at  the  same  time  that  a  nurs- 
ing certificate  is  secured,  which  is  at 
the  end  of  approximately  30  months 
of  training.  This  applies  to  the  schools

tended  St.  Peter's  High  and  Rutgcr's 
Prep,  At  the  present  G.  I.  Hall  is

are  distributed  over  a  well-built  6 
feet,  one  inch  frame — topped  by  a 
crew  cut  and  grounded  by  a  pair  of 
size  11  white  bucks.  Expressive  hazel- 
green  eyes  and  an  easy,  friendly  smile 
are  two  of  his  top  assets. 

Jack  likes  sports  (especially  basket- 
ball), steak,  the  opposite  sex,  and 
Mary  Wdrth  (Who'd  a  thunk  it?), 
reading  and  historical  novels;  but 
turns  thumbs  down  on  girls  with  too

ers— bless  their  hearts),  shaving,  and, 
above  all,  beer. 

Does  he  like  Washington  College? 
Emphatically,  yes!  He  likes  W.C.'s 
friendly  spirit  and  general  atmosphere, 
and,  beyond  the  shadow  of  a  doubt, 
W.C.   will   like  Jack.

THE  Scoreboard 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 

(Sports  Editor) 


Athey  Elected  President 
At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference  in  Balti- 
more, Edward  L.  Athcy,  athletic  director  of  Washington  College, 
was  elected  president  of  the  M-D  Association  for  1951.  The  di- 
rectors of  each  school  held  this  council  to  discuss  any  changes  in 
their  respective  school  sports  program.  George  S.  Proctor  of  Hamp- 
den-Sidney  received  the  vice-presidency,  while  Lefty  Reitz  of  Loyola 
was  chosen  as  sec relary- treasurer. 

Six  M-D  Grid  Squads 

Only  six  of  the  fifteen  schools  in  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference 
are  fielding  football  teams  this  year.  Hopkins  and  Western  Mary- 
land boast  eight  game  schedules,  five  of  which  are  non-conference 
contests. 

Now  that  the  Maroon  and  Black  has  tucked  its  football  equipment 
into  the  mothballs,  the  big  question  is,  "Will  school  spirit  decline 
now  that  football  has  been  dropped?"  Or,  you  might  ask,  "Exclud- 
ing homecoming,  did  football  ever  arouse  intense  spirit  on  the  hill?" 

This  'an  That 

A  24  game  varsity  and  a  12  game  J.V.  basketball  schedule  has 
been  arranged  for  the  coming  season. 

Looks  like  it  will  be  back  to  the  armory  for  the  hardwood  games 
this  year.  The  new  high  school  gymnasium  will  not  be  finishcji 
in    time. 

Gallaudct  College  is  once  again  sponsoring  the  annual  Mason- 
DLxon  cross-country  championship,  even  though  the  D.C.  school  has 
dropped  the  sport. 

Campus  Comer 

John  Santulli,  Babe  Johnson,  Kenney  Sullivan,  Wes  Edwards 
and  John  Wilson  are  once  again  cavorting  the  baseball  diamond 
for  Millington  of  the  Bi-State  League.  Millington  not  only  won 
the  league,  but  also  the  play-offs.  Slugger  John  Santulli  was  re- 
sponsible for  Millington's  final  play-off  victory  last  Sunday,  as  he 
clouted  a  liomer  in  the  10th  inning  to  break  the  1-1  deadlock  against 
Centrcville. 

Don  Nutzel  returned  from  his  semi-pro  debut  in  Newark,  Ohio, 
and  Wellsvillc,  N.  Y.,  with  an  8-8  pitching  record.    Nice  going,  Don, 

Rumor  has  it  that  freshman  George  Hcssey,  ex-Southern  High 
School  lacrosse  star,  is  quite  agile  at  the  age  old  Indian  sport. 

Looks  like  it  will  be  back  to  the  armory  for  the  hardwood  game: 
V.  M.)  may  be  pushing  some  of  the  boys  for  a  varsity  net  berth  ne.\t 
spring! 

Jim  Twilley,  captain  of  last  year's  varsity  track  team,  is  still 
training  diligently.  Basic  training  that  is — at  Great  Lakes,  111.,  for 
the  U.  S.  Navy.

One^Half  Down  With  Order 


Howard  C.  Nesbitt.  recent  addition 
ot  the  athletic  staff,  and  varsity  soc- 
cer coach_  was  at  one  time  a  three  let- 
ter athlete  here  on  the  hill.  Thorough- 
ly versed  in  soccer,  basketball  and 
baseball,  coach  Nesbitt  entered  Wash- 
ington College  in  the  Spring  of  '46  af- 
ter serving  one  year  in  the  European 
theatre  for  the  U.S.  Army. 

Coach  Nesbitt  was  a  member  of  the 
undefeated  Washington  soccer  teams 
of  1947  and  '48,  while  also  holding 
down  positions  on  the  basketball  and 
baseball  squads  during  his  2  year  peri- 
od on  the  Shore.  Before  entering  the 
Armed  Forces,  "Howie,"  as  his  friends 
tab  him,  studied  at  the  State  Teach' 
crs'  College  in  Frostburg,  Md.  It  was 
at  Frostburg  and  also  for  Hilt  High 
School  of  Cumberland,  that  he  pur- 
nied  his  versatile  ability  in  soccer, 
basketball   and   baseball. 

Upon  his  graduation  from  W.C, 
coach  Nesbitt  proceeded  to  Columbia 
University  where  he  won  his  Master's 
Degree  in  Physical  Educaiion.  He  was 
soon  following  his  coaching  career  at 
McBurney  Boys'  School  of  New  York 
City  where  he  spent  2  years  teaching 
his   3   favorite  sports. 

Married  and  living  hi  Chcstcrtown 
at  the  present  time.  Mr.  Nesbitt  is 
working  on  his  Doctor's  Degree  at 
Columbia.  Coach  Nesbitt  has  estab- 
lished himself  as  a  popular  figure  on 
the  Shore  campus,  and  the  stiidaii 
body  extends  their  best  wishes  and 
good  luck  to  him  in  his  future  en- 
deavors   on    the    hill. 


With  the  suspension  of  football 
from  the  Washington  College  campus, 
the  entire  Fall  sportlight  falls  upon 
the   soccer  and  cross-country   teams. 

Coach  Howie  Nesbiit  realises  this 
fact  and  has  had  his  boys  working  out 
for  about  two  weeks  in  preparation 
for  the  season  opener  at  Franklin  and 
Marshall,  October  12.  Coach  Nesbitt. 
returning  to  his  Alma  Mater  from 
which  he  graduated  in  1948,  is  faced 
with  the  problem  of  building  an  al- 
most entirely  new  team  around  the 
nucleus  of  only  six  lettermen  return- 
ing from   last  year's  squad. 

Another  burden  confronting  the 
Maroon  and  Black  is  their  highly  com- 
petitive opposition.  Playing  five  games 
in  October  makes  it  necessary  for  the 
pitchmen  to  be  in  top  condition 
when  they  inaugurate  the  campaign 
next  Friday  against  F.  &  M, 
Nesbitt  Seems  Pleased 

In  spite  of  the  hardships  confront- 
ing our  freshman  coach,  he  is  pleas- 
ed with  the  way  the  team  is  shaping 
up. 

"I  think  we'll  have  a  good  team", 
he  said,  "and  we'll  play  a  lot  of  close 
games".  Mentor  Nesbitt  is  especially 
satisfied  with  the  way  the  backfield 
is  rounding  into  shape.  The  line, 
centered  around  Juan  (Poncho)  Her- 
nandez at  center  forward,  needs  more 
work,  but  the  boys  are  improving 
daily. 

Small  Nucleus 

Roughly  25  candidates,  less  than 
onc-foiinh  being  lettermen,  have  been 
battling  for  starting  positions.  Some 
ot  last  year's  regulars  are  being  shift 
ed,  and  will  find  themselves  playing 
different  positions  in  Coach  Nesbitt's 
starting  aggregation.

Athletic 
Policy  Is 
Changed 


Beginning  with  the  present  class  of 
freshmen,  a  new  program  has  been 
arranged  for  the  physical  education 
requirement.  Although  remaining  as 
a  two  year  requirement,  necessary  for 
graduation,  there  will  now  be  a  means 
for  each  student  to  be  selective  in 
matter  of  the  physical  activity  in 
which   he  wishes   lo  engage. 

This  revision  has  been  made  pos- 
sible chiefly  U^rough  the  efforts  of 
Mr.  Foster,  Registrar,  who  has  been 
able,  in  the  majority  ot  cases,  to  sep- 
arate the  freshmen  and  sophomores 
into  different   class  periods. 

The  course,  as  now  outlined 
the  two  year  period  is  divided  into 
eight  quarters,  two  per  .semester.  The 
student  therefore,  will  have  a  ch 
of  eight  dilTcrcnt  activities.  Of  the 
eight,  live  of  these  must  be  team 
sports,  three  individual  sports  and 
one  a  combative  sport.  This  will  en- 
able the  individual  to  experience  and 
learn  the  skill  and  rules  of  a  varied 
number  of  activities.  It  is  hoped  thai 
by  doing  so  the  individual  will  take 
enough  interest  in  the  activities  to  use 
them  as  a  recreational  device  now  and 
in    the    future. 

The  list  of  activities  now  offered  with 
in    the    program    ars:

played  important  roles  in  the  North- 
South  All-Star  LacrcLsse  game  played 
at  Troy.  N.  V.,  on  the  campus  of  Ren- 
salaer  Polytechnic  Insiiluic,  on  June  9, 
1951. 

Ray  Wood,  star  Washington  attack- 
man  for  four  years;  Eddie  Leonard, 
1951  captain  and  outstanding  mid- 
fielder; and  Harry  Kabernagel,  fine 
clase  defenscinan,  performed  in  a 
highly  creditable  manner.  Woo<l,  who 
all-time  scoring  records  in  inter- 
collegiate lacrosse,  won  a  starting  berth 
scored  three  goals  for  the  South, 
His  spectacular  play  was  acclaimed 
by  alt  who  saw  the  game.  Picked  on  an 
unofficial  First-string  AIlAmerican 
team  by  the  BALTIMORE  NEWS- 
POST  AND  SUNDAY  AMERICAN, 
Wood  is  expected  to  land  a  place  on 

e  official  All-.Aracrican   team. 

Washington  College  will  play  its 
fifth  season  of  Lacrosse  next  spring, 
having  been  reactivated  as  a  major 
port  on  the  campus  in  1948.  Coached 
by  Dr.  Charles  B.  Clark,  who  was  one 
[)f  the  Southern  coaches  in  the  1951 
All-Siar  game,  the  team  has  won  41 
of  47  collegiate  games  played  in  the 
past  four  years.  A  fine  nnclciis,  head- 
ed by  Captain  Graeme  Menzies,  is 
back  in  school  and  some  promising 
freshmen  are  reported  to  be  on  hand. 
Rated  ninth  among  approximately 
seventy-five  colleges  and  universities 
playing  the  Old  Indian  Came  in  I9!>1. 
the  Shoremen  will  be  seeking  to  im- 
prove their  position  this  year,  or  at 
least    to    retain    their   high    rating. 


10  Men 
Oppose  Rams 


Lacking  depth,  but  not  spirit,  ten 
Maroon  and  Black  crosscountry  hope- 
fuls will  compew  against  a  strong 
West  Chester, ihinclad  unit  tomorrow. 

Two  losses  through  graduation, 
that  of  Fil  Dryden  and  Tom  Benson, 
have  hampered  the  team  considerably. 
However,  the  four  remaining  veterans 
and  six  newcomers  show  unstinted 
promise  of  molding  into  a  well-knit 
group. 

Becker  New  Captain 

Paul  Becker  has  been  elected  the 
new  team  captain  and  along  with 
George  Eichelbergcr,  Jack  McCulIough 
and  Ells  Boyd,  rounds  out  the  quartet 
thai  assisted  in  capturing  8lh  place 
honors  at  the  Mason-Di.xon  Conference 
last  fa^l. 

A  surprising  newcomer  to  the  hill 
and  dale  sport  is  Dob  .Appleby,  whose 
tireless  ctEorts  show  promise  of  de- 
veloping him  into  one  of  the  top  run- 
ners of  the  Mason-Dixon  this  year. 
Don  Heverly.  another  first  year  man 
at  this  sport,  has  exhibited  hidden 
ability  during  the  every  day  work- 
outs. 

5    McctA_    3    Championships 

Jack  Bacon  and  Dun  Sicyncn  are 
representative  of  the  lacrosse  ranks, 
who  arc  experiencing  a  different  type 
of  running  from  that  displayed  on 
the  lacrasse  field.  Two  ficshman  ad- 
ditions to  the  squad  arc  Wayne  Gru- 
ehn  and  Ed.  Hogarth,  the  latter  be- 
ing   a    former   Towson    High    School 

Coach  Ed  Alhcy  has  arranged  a 
schedule  composed  of  five  dual  meets 
plus  three  championships.  Dual  en- 
counters which  follow  the  West  Ches- 
ter meet  are.  Loyola,  Hopkins.  The 
Bnlto.  Olympic  Club  and  Towson.  The 
three  championship  runs  follow  in 
order:  The  Del-Mar,  Miitdlc-Atlantics 
and  Mason-Dixon. 

2  Weeks  Training 

Although  the  Shore  squad  has  been 
training  for  only  two  weeks,  each 
member  seem.s  to  have  rounded  into 
good  condition.  Coach  .Vthey  seems 
pleased  with  the  unity  of  the  team, 
no  single  man  being  far  ahead  oE 
another. 

The  Rams  will  assuredly  get  "a 
run  for  their  money"  tomorrow  after- 
noon  at   2   o'clock  over  the  3.5   mile

Highlights 
In  Hockey 

The  freshman  turn  out  at  the  initial 
hockey    practice    last    week    served    as 

inspirational  hope  for  Miss  Doria 
T.  Bell  of  the  physical  educational 
dcpt.     A    large   number   of  enthusias- 

feminine  athletes  took  their  posi- 
tion on  the  field  and  began  limbering 
up   in    preparation    for   future    intra- 

a!  games.     Many  of  the  girls  have 

i;  background  in  the  sport  and 
those  newcomers  lacking  complete 
knowledge  of  the  game  are  making  it 
up  through  their  initiative  and  per- 
servance. 

If  the  interest  in  hockey  continues 
along  its  present  coune.  there  is  a 
itrong  possibility  of  an  all-frcshnian 
squad,  a  practice  discontinued  several 
years  ago  due  lo  the  small  enrollment. 
If  so,  watch  out  upperclassmen —  those 
girls  swing  a  lethal  stickl 

The  historian  Rhodes  declared  that 
no  single  man  in  his  time  influenced 
so  many  people  as  Horace  Grecly, 
editor  of  the  New  York  Tribune.

Alumni  Ready 

Inaugration 

Bulletin 


As  their  firsi  prtscniation  tor  ihc 
•1951VZ  season,  Hie  Washiiiglon  Play 
ers  have  sclccicil  "The  Glass  Mcnag 
eric",  by  Tenncsec  WilHams,  a  popu- 
lar  Uroadway  pr.Hluciioii.  Dirccling  ihe 
first  show  of  the  year  will  be  Helen 
Roc  vctctan  player  with  3  years  of 
experience  in  working  with  dramatics 
behind  her.  Casting  for  ihe  play  will 
begin  next  Monday  and  Tuesday  at 
3:30  in  Ferguson  Hall. 

"The  Glass  Menagerie"  will  be 
sonicihing  along  a  new  line  for  ihe 
W.C.  dramatic  gronp,  mainly  because 
it  consisis  of  only  four  characters.  In 
previous  productions,  casi  lists 
been  as  high  as  50,  as  in  last  year's 
production  of  '^Thc  Devil  and  Daniel 
Websicr." 

The  play  'IseK  is  one  of  the  niosl 
famous  plays  of  ihe  modern  iheaire. 
enjoying  a  great  success  on  Broad- 
S»ay  and  on  ifie  Road.  If  has  also 
been  played  in  several  European 
countries  and  in  many  small  theatre 
groups.  The  author  is  equally  well 
known  for  many  successes 
drama  on  Broadway. 

The  story  of  "The  Class  Menagerie" 
centers  around  a  mother  and  her  two 
children,  living  in  poverty  ip  a  St. 
Louis  apartmcnl.  The  action  centers 
around  how  she  tries  to  make  lite 
look  half-way  decent  to  her  children, 
especially  the  girl  who  is  a  cripple. 
The  world  of  illusion  she  finally  man- 
ages to  create  for  her  does  not  last 
however,  and  seems  to  crash  into  ab- 
solute nothingness.  The  story  has 
been  described  as  one  of  "great  ten- 
derness, charm  and  beauty"  by  crit- 
ics   (or    the    Broadway    production.

Mr.    Russell    was    one    of    the 
recipicnu  of  the  Horatio  Alger 
award    given    to    selected    self- 
made   men   in   public   life  and 
industry. 


In  preparation  for  the  inauguration 
of  Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson,  as  the  20th 
President  of  Washington  College,  the 
W.C.  Alumni  Association  will  publish 
the  first  issue  of  the  Washington 
College  Alumni  and  Bulletin  featur- 
ing the  coming  installation.  This  issue 
is  being  published  three  weeks  prior 
to  Dr.  Gibsons  inauguration  in  order 
to  inform  the  alumni,  thus  allowing 
them  ample  time  to  return  for  this 
program. 

Following  the  suggestion  of  and 
under  the  directorship  of  F.  Spencer 
Robinscn,  Secretary  of  the  Alumni 
Asociation,  the  original  tabloid  format  been  chief 
of  the  Washington  College  Alumni 
and  Bulletin  has  been  changed  to 
magazine  fashion  in  order  to  conform 
with  the  trend.  This  magazine  will  be 
published  four  times  during  the  aca- 
demic year — the  first  installment  be- 
ing October,  the  following  ones,  De- 
cember, March,  and  May,  The  May 
issue  will  senc  primarily  to  acquaint 
the  alumni  with  the  commencement 
program  for  1952. 

Robinsen  hopes  that  students 
will  take  advantage  of  the  fact  that 
letters  to  the  editor"  of  the  Alumni 
magazine  are  in  order  and  wanted  as 
r  executive  of  the  Association,  as 
11  as  the  alumni  themselves,  are 
interested  in  knowing  what  the  stud- 
ents think  and  how  they  feel  about 
■the  work   of  the  .Association. 

One  aim  of  the  Association  is  to 
get  the  alumni  to  aid  in  the  recruiting 
of  potential  students  for  Washinglor 
College  which  will  promote  student^ 
alumni  interest.  Consequently,  the 
high  school  files  have  been  rearranged 
Bnd  a  "travel"  map  planned  in  prep- 
aration for  fall  visits  to  various  high 
schools. 

The  system  of  files  has  been  changed 
and  Mr.  Robinsen  has  kept  a  set  of 
files  on  our  alumni  dating  back  to 
1931  which  is  available  for  their  own 
reference.  In  order  to  keep  these  files 
up  to  date,  questionnaires  are  sent 
out  each  year  to  new  alumni  who  in 
turn  fill  them  out  thus  giving  infor- 
mation concerning  their  whereabouts 
and  the  nature  of  the  present  work. 
Visits  will  be  made  to  other  alumni 
chapters  in  hopes  of  getting  some 
of  these  older  and  inactive  societies 
reorganized.  To  date  there  arc  about 
five  active  chapters  and  those  not 
active  in  the  Upper,  Middle,  and 
Lower  Dclmarva  vicinity  are  being 
reorganized. 


The  schedule  below  of  meeting 
times  for  student  organizations  has 
been  worked  out  for  the  greater  ad- 
vantage of  all  organizations.  With 
one  or  two  changes  this  year,  the 
schedule  is  tested  over  several  years. 
Its  success  depends  upon  adherence 
to  it  by  all  concerned.  .Any  organi- 
zation that  contemplates  a  meeting 
at  other  than  the  scheduled  time 
should  not  proceed  with  plans  until 
the  proposed  change  is  cleared  with 
the  Dean  of  Men.  No  change  should 
be  requested  unless  absolutely  neccs-  1 
sary.  Changes  mean  rearrangement  of 
the  activities  of  several  organizations 
very  often. 

Fraternities,      sororities,      and      the 

Washington   Players  in  particular  are 

requested  to  observe  regulations  about 

changing      meeting       times      without 

proper  clearance.   These  groups  have 

ffcnderj  in   the  past. 

Any  group  requiring  the  use  of  the 

Auditorium   must    secure    a    key   from 

usiness    Office    or    the    Dean    of 

Whenever  possible,  the   faculty

3Irs.  Daniel  Z.   Gibson 
Accepts  Sorority  Post 


Homecoming 
Dance  Plans 


This  past  wctk,  Mrs,  Daniel  Z. 
Gibson  was  chosen  by  iht  Pan-Hcl- 
Icnic  Council  to  serve  on  their  board 
in  an  advisory  capacity. 

In  addition  to  accepting  this  post, 
Mrs.  Gibson  offered  her  home  for  the 
annual  Pan-Hcllcnic  Tea  to  be  held 
on  November  4.  The  Tea  marks  the 
Opening  of  formal  rushing  of  soror- 
ities on  campus. 

In  order  to  act  as  advisor  to  the 
jorority  councTl,  a  ivoman  must  'have 
full  knowledge  of  the  rules  and  rcgu- 
lalions  of  the  Washington  College 
campus — not  only  those  rules  of  the 
Pan-Hellenic  Council,  but,  too,  the 
rules  set  up  by  the  student  body 
and  the  administration  of  the  college. 

Although  not  a  necessity  but  a 
valuable  asset  is  the  knowledge  of 
the  functions  and  handling  of  a  sor- 
ority itself.  This  factor  is  all-important 
in  the  eyes  of  the  Council  whose 
relationships  with  sororities  have  been 
more  or  less  limited  to  those  found 
on   our   own    camps. 

In  view  of  these  facts,  Mrs.  Gibson 
was  deemed  well-qualified  because  of 
her  past  membership  and  present 
affiliation  with  her  own  two  sororities 
— Sigma  Alpha  Iota,  and  Chi  Beta 
Phi  Social  sorority.  Also  Mrs.  Gibson 
is  familiar  with  the  business  of  the 
school — both  the  fiscal  situation  and 
the  way    it    is   operated. 

As  the  duties  of  the  advisor  demand 
it,  Mrs.  Gibson  will  be  present  at 
all  regular  scheduled  meetings  and 
discuss  the  problems  of  each  sorority 
and  give  her  views  and  opinions  on 
any  questions  which  the  delegates 
may  present.  It  will  be  her  job  to 
make  suggestions^  to  ameliorate  dif- 
ficult situations  arising  during  the 
course   of  the   academic   year. 

Mrs.  Gibson  was  bom  in  Gar>', 
Indiana,  and  received  her  A. 
Ohio  State  College  at  Athens,  Ohio. 
While  attending  college  there  she  was 
a  member  of  the  Chi  Beta  Phi  Social 
sorority.  She  later  received  her  Ma 
ters  Degree  in  Music  at  the  Cii 
cinnati  Music  Conservatory  and  was 
there  an  active  member  of  Sigma 
Alpha    Iota, 

The  mother  of  three  children,  Dan- 
ny, nine:  Mary,  seven;  and  Jill,  two 
and  onc-balf,  Mrs.  Gibson  is  an  inter- 
ested member  of  the  Parent- Teach- 
ers Association  of  Chestcrtown,  M; 
Gibson  is  also  President  of  the  Wo- 
men's League  of  Washington  College.

Seek  Part-Time  Job 

Opportunities  Here 

/  

Through  the  efforts  of  the  admin, 
istraiion,  an  attempt  is  being  made 
to  increase  the  part-iime  job  oppor- 
tunities in  Chestertown  for  Washing- 
ton College  students.  .Xn  announce- 
ment of  the  general  availability  of  stu- 
dents for  purt-tiinc  employment  was 
made  recently  at  the  Ideal  Lion's 
Club  by  Dean  Clark  and  at  the  Rotary 
Club  by  Dr.  Gibson. 

Results  so  far  have  been  excellent, 
since  at  least  four  requests  for  help 
have  come  from  local  source.*.  One  of 
these,  for  a  typist  and/or  stenogra- 
pher,  might   well  appeal   to  a  co-ed. 


Arrangements  for  the  annual  Home- 
coming Dance  h.ivc  been  completed 
according  to  Bernie  Rudo,  president 
of  the  sponsoring  Varsity  Club,  Music 
for  the  affair  will  be  furnished  by 
Manny  Klein,  well  known  Delaware 
dance  band,  currently  playing  at  the 
DuPonl  Country  Club  in  Wilmington.. 

The  dance,  held  annually  at  the 
Chestertown  Armory  will  get  under- 
way at  nine  o'clock  following  a  day 
filled  with  other  events.  Tickets  are 
$1.75  per  person  and  $3.50  pet 
couple.  They  will  be  sold  on  campus 
by  Varsity  Club  members  and  at  the 
door   the   evening   of  the   dance. 

The  entire  schedule  of  Homecoming 
Day  consists  of  a  soccer  game  with 
Kings  College  at  11:00,  Inaugura- 
tion of  President  Gibson  at  2:00  and 
the  dance  in  the  evening.  A  large 
crowd  of  alumni  and  guests  arc  ex- 
pected to  be  on  hand  for  the  fes- 
tivities. 

The  dance  is  sponsored  each  year 
by  the  Washington  College  Varsity 
Club  in  order  to  obtain  sufficicnl 
funds  with  which  they  can  buy  sweat- 
ers for  W.C.  letter  winners.  They  also 
aid  the  cheerleaders  in  their  activities 
and  sponsor  the  Freshman-Sophomore 
football   game.

The  group  presented  a  pane!  discii.s-

Student." 

Members  of  (he  panel  were  Bob 
Drink,  Tom  Lowe,  Henry  Louie  and 
Leonard  Doll.  The  chairman  of  Ihe 
group  was  Jim  Hacbel,  president  of 
the  society.

Last  year,  the  Panhellenic  Council 
established  a  hook  scholarship  of  fifty 
dollars  to  be  awarded  lo  a  freshman 
girl  who  is  in  need  of  financial  assist* 
ancc.  As  yet,  no  one  has  applied  for 
the  scholarship  this  year. 

Applications  arc  made  to  the  Ad- 
missions and  Scholarship  Committee. 
This  committee  then  recommends  sev- 
eral girls  lo  the  Panhellenic  Council, 
which  in  turn  makes  the  final  decision 
and  appointment.  To  retain  the  schol- 
arship for  second  semester,  a  girl 
must  have  achieved  a  1.00  index  for 
her  first  semester's  work.  If  she  should 
fail  to  do  this,  the  scholarship  will 
go   to   another  girl. 

Any  freshman  girl  who  is  interested 
and  feels  that  she  is  in  need  of 
assistance  should  obtain  an  applica> 
tion  blank  from  the  Secretary  of  the 
Council,  Marlenc  Meyer.  The  blank 
asks  for  the  girl's  name  and  address, 
age,  high  school,  and  honors  acquired 
in  high  school.  She  should  also  ac- 
;  company  the  application  with  a  short 
essay  of  not  more  than  400  words 
telling  why  she  would  like  to  be 
awarded    the   scholarship. 

The  recipient  of  last  year's  scholar- 
ship was  Peggy  Featherer,  a  resident 
of  New  jersey. 

Wanted: 
Violin  Players 

During  the  period  from  1925  until 
the  middle  of  the  year  1949-1950 
the  Washington  College  Concert  Or- 
chestra had  a  continuous  and  rather 
successful  history,  offering  musical 
training  to  students  and  providing 
music  for  assemblies,  commencements 
and  various  college  occasions.  In  Feb- 
ruarj',  1950,  the  orchestra  suspended 
activity  due  to  the  lack  of  violin 
players.  Last  year  an  attempt  was 
made  to  reactivate  the  orchestra  but 
again  there  was  a  lack  of  violin  play- 
ers. Unless  violin  players  can  be  dis- 
covered in  the  student  body,  the  or- 
chestra will  have  to  continue  inactive 
since  stringed  instruments  arc  very 
essential  for  concert  work  covering 
classical  and  semi-classical   music. 

Whether  Washington  College  will 
have  a  concert  orchestra  must  depend 
on  whether  there  arc  violin  players 
available.  Since  th'-re  is  so  much 
diversified  talent  In  the  studi-nt  body, 
it  would  appear  that  there  should  be 
a  minimum  of  a  half  dozen  violin 
players  available.  With  the  coopera- 
tion of  talent  it  may  be  possiMe 
reactivate    the    concert    orchestra,

WORTH 

NOTING 

Whilr  scanning  ttie  Kent  County  News  of  October  Sth,  I  hap- 
pened to  run  across  an  article  with  the  rathrr  lengthy  title,  "I 
Knew  America  Would  Be  DifFcTcnt.  but  I  Didn't  Expect  It  Like 
This".  Rather  intrigued  by  the  title,  and  the  prominent  place  giv- 
en to  thr  article.  I  read  it  and  was  surprised  to  find  how  moved  I 
was  by  what  1  n.-ad.  The  item  is  a  reprint  from  American  Legion 
Magazine  and  well  worth  looking  at.  It  certainly  can't  be  read 
without  the  reader  feeling  some  sort  of  thanksgiving  for  the  fact 
that  he  is  here  in  America.  Take  a  look  at  this  story  and  get  a 
good  look  at  our  country,  particularly  the  Eastern  Shore,  in  the 
eyes  of  a  refugee.  Copies  of  the  "News"  may  be  found  in  the  li- 
brary.

Question 
of  the  Week 


WHAT  DO  YOU  THINK  OF 
WASHINGTON  COLLEGE? 


JOAN  VANICK— I  think  it's  crcnt, 
it  wc  have  bugs  in  our  room!  The 
best  thing  in  the  dinini;  hall  is  the 
waiteu,  so  I  think  I'll  slick  around 
for  a  while — unless  they  throw  mc 
out. 

BILLY  KABERNAGLE— NothinR 
short  of  Ocean  City.  The  campus  is 
beautiful  and  well  situated  except 
for  one  thing — the  "Bird"  is  too  close, 
and  ihe  dietician  thinks  I'm  a  vege- 

R.'KMONA  WILLEY— It's  real,  as 
<vc  say  down  on  the  Shore:  I  hope 
I  don't  flunk  out  'lause  the  kids 
are  sivfll    and    the  sood   times  many. 

DO.\'  STEYXEN— Speakinc  as  one 
of  the  wheels  of  the  freshman  claEs, 
T  find  college  interesting,  enliehten- 
inq,  and  even  educational — at  times. 
About    the    women — ? 

GIN'NY  MARSH— I'm  just  crazy 
about  it  except  for  the  studying.  But 
I  can't  seem  to  get  used  to  the  way 
the  ball,  bounces  on  th;-  tennis  court. 

CHARLIE  RUSSELL— I  think  it 
will  /{row  on  me — like  mass.  I'm  look- 
ing forward  to  lacro-^^e — what  else?  I 
like  the  girls  as  a  rule,  to  talk  to — 
don't  make  a  habit  of  it.  Hope 
on'i  take  more  than  four  years 
to    get    used    to    this    place. 

PAT   ANDERSO.M- 1    think    it's  a 

and  place  and  wouldn't  trade  it  for 
an>-where   rise.    I    like    the    social    life 

It    not    the   studvint;. 

ALBERT  CANDELLO— I  like  the 
friendly  attitude  of  upoer-elassmen 
toward  the  freshmen,  and  the  quainl- 
ness  of  the  campus.  I  don't  miss  home

To  begin  with,  poor  Ilch — the  old 
car  just  didn't  quite  have  what  it 
takes— oh,  well,  you  didn't  want  to 
see  the  game  anyhow  .  .  .  This  week 
a  mad  scramble  between  the 
fraternities  for  the  frc:hmen— who 
nled  to  go  to  Homecoming,  forRcl 
Wc  hear  that  the  OX  house  has 
"lobster  shack"  on  the  third  flooi 
.  .  What  has  su-uck  the  boys— 
almost  everyone  had  a  date  last  wcek- 
.  .  .  My  "Baysidc"  was  crowded! 
The  newest  fads  on  campus  are  gray 
kcts — buy  one — the  Leonards  are 
starring  .  .  .  The  basketball  team 
must  have  a  secret  weapon — no  giris 
can  watch  practice!  By  the  way  rumor 
has  it  that  Sully  had  better  be  careful 
on  away  trips  ,  ,  .  we  hear  that  the 
team  is  scheming  .  ,  .  Who  is  this 
new  frosh  who  plays  the  piano  so 
well  ?— he's  even  giving  Don  Brill 
competition,  hails  from  Snow  Hill, 
loo.  Sr-ems  that  Nancy  and  Fran  got 
rambunctious  and  put  on  a  show  for 
Middle  Hall— yea  9th  Street!  We 
norice  that  Miss  Palmer  made  the 
pages  again — you're  too  much!  What 
two  seniors  tried  to  drive  everyone 
out  of  the  dorms — such  an  odor. 
If  Mr.  Austin  Keep  is  interested,  he 
has  a  letter  in  box  174;  you  certainly 
do  get  around,  A.K.,  it  must  be  nice! 
You  haven't  done  anything  until 
you've  had  r()asi  duck  at  the  Bird 
We  hear  "Mad  John"  and  Helen 


almost  got  rained  out  on  Sunday.  .  , 
A  wreath  of  lilies  for  the  freshmen 
coeds  wilh  room  campus  and  what 
were  the  rowdies  doing  in  G.I.  Hall? 
— it  was  just  too  crazy  around  this 
weekend.  Why  did  Rod  E.  go  all 
ihe  way  to  Easton  on  Monday  night 
— she  must  be  pretty!  And  speaking 
of  Rod  F. — is  he  a  father  yet — we 
hear  Beau  Dyer  is  all  set  to  jump 
and  run  tor  the  car  .  .  .  The  news 
of  the  week:  Dr.  Ford  has  a  new 
suit!!!  And  we  might  add  that  John 
Grim  has  lovely  shorts!!!  Grrls,  you've 
chance  has  come — Cumor  is  a  free 
man  again  ,  ,  .  Marlcnc  now  spends 
the  weekends  riding  around  in  a 
beautiful,  black  Buick  —  ah,  these 
working  boyfriends  .  .  ,  Just  when 
does  this  wrestling  match  take  place? 
eh,  '  Schcllinger,— Tom's  a  big  boy 
now  .  .  .  What  prominent  Forensic 
man  stood  on  the  steps  of  Middle 
Hall  in  his  T-shirt  while  thi-  rains 
came?.  .  .  One  of  these  days  Shorty 
Millei  will  write  a  book  on  bridge, 
aided  by  Don  Hcverly — ^the  college 
experts  on  the  subject  .  .  .  We  notice 
that  hubby  picks  you  up  every  day 
— it  must  be  wonderful,  Lynn  .  . 
do  they  call  you  Mrs.  White  in 
classes?  ,  ,  .  For  the  sake  of  Herb 
— John  Haines  walked  Pat  Bowes 
home  one  day  .  .  .  How  do  the  AO 
Nus  manage  to  have  so  many  cars 
this  year — do  you  take  bets  on  the 
5th  at  Laurel??  Thought  for  the 
week — Spring  can  come  earlier  than 
you  expect,  if  you  only  look  for  it,  .  .i 


It  all, 

JO  CUSACK  — It's  out  of  this 
v/orlil  and  so  is  the  food.  But  K.A. 
isn't    so    bad. 

BILL  BARN'ETT  — I  think  that 
\-rvthinR'5  great  and  I  believe  that 
W.C.  offers  more  opportunities  to

Senior  Of  . . . 
, ..The  Week 


TOM  HUNTER  LOH'f- hails 
from  the  city  of  Baltimore  and 
a  student  of  City  College  High  School, 
where  his  studies  were  interrupted 
in  1914  lo  make  way  for  those  never- 
to-be -forgoilen  years  in  the  Marine 
Corp.i. 

He  returned  to  City  College,  where 
lie  {Tradualcd  in  1948  and  then  came 
to    Washington   College. 

In  his  freshman  year,  Tom  spent 
a  good  bit  of  his  time  playing  foot- 
ball. Due  to  a  knee  injury  and  a 
subsequent  operation,  he  became  a 
student  at  Towion  Slate  Tcachcn 
College  during  hii  sopttomore  year, 


THE  FACULTY 

DR.   EDMUND   BERKLEY— our 
■w  biology  professor,  came  out  from 
behind    his    microscope    long    enough 
to  give   the  Elm   the   following. 

After  graduating  from  the  Red 
Hill  High  School,  a  rural  school  near 
Charlotte,  North  Carolina,  Dr.  Berk 
■ley  went  to  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia, where  he  look  his  undergrad- 
uate work  and  started  work  on  his 
masters  degree.  At  this  point  his 
,'tudies  were  interrupted  by  the  war, 
During  his  hitch,  he  spent  a  year 
and  a  half  in  Puerto  Rico  and  a  year 
at  the  submarine  base  in  New  London, 
Conn. 

After  the  war  he  continued  work 
on  his  masters  and  then  taught  high 
school  biology  in  Charlotte.  Follow- 
ing that  he  taught  for  two  years  at 
Washington  and  Lee.  This  summer  he 
finished  work  on  his  doctors  degree 
at  the  University  of  North  Carolina 
from  whirh  he   came   to  us. 

Dr.  Berkley  is  married  and  is  now 
living  on  Campus  Avenue,  above  the 
.\lheys.  He  has  three  children,  age* 
10,    12,   and    14. 

He  claims  to  have  no  hobby,  al- 
though gardening,  plant  collecting, 
and  beach  combing  might  be  classi- 
fied as  such.  He  has,  in  the  past, 
done  a  little  work  with  dramatici 
and  athlclicj,  but  the  majority  of  his 
interests   arc    outdoors. 

Although  Dr.  Berkley  and  family 
have  been  with  ui  only  a  short  time, 
this  is  now  their  home.  If  we  are 
lucky,  it  may  become  their  pcrn^anent 
home,  We  hope  to.

Stlckmcn  Begin  Drills 

A  group  of  the  Washington  College  lacrosse  squad  is  now  m 
formally  working  out  under  the  supervision  of  their  1952  team 
captain,  Graeme  Menzics.  Coaeh  Charles  B.  Clark,  currently  oc 
cupicd  with  plans  and  preparation  for  tlie  inauguration  of  Dr.  Dan 
iel  Z.  Gibson  as  PrcMdent  of  Washington  College  on  October  27 
will  conduct  a  series  of  workouts  following  the  latter  date  and  run 
ning  to  about  November  15. 

The  purpose  of  these  fall  workouts  is  to  improve  stickwork  and  to 
give  the  new  candidates  of  the  team  an  opportunity  to  show  their 
abilities.  Various  combinations  will  be  worked  out  by  Coach  Clark 
to  find  capable  replacements  for  the  five  positions  vacated  by  grad 
uation  in  June.  A  potent  schedule,  again  featuring  the  Naval 
Academy,  Duke,  Mt.  Washington  and  other  powers,  faces  the  Shore- 
men nest  spring. 

Del-Mar  Championship  Impressive 

Coach  Bill  Jimeson  of  the  Baltimore  Olympic  Club  his  invited 
the  Washington  College  cross-country  team  to  run  a  triangular 
meet  with  Morgan  College  and  the  B.O.C.  on  November  9.  The 
scheduled  trip  to  the  Middle-Atlantics  Nov.  9  may  be  canceled. 

The  Del-Mar  Championship,  November  3,  offers  quite  an  incen- 
tive to  the  harriers  of  the  six  teams  entered.  There  will  be  a  total 
of  30  medals  awarded  to  individual  and  team  scorers. 

Soccer  Sidelines 

American  Un.  canceled  their  soccer  game  against  the  Maroon  and 
Black,  scheduled  for  homecoming.  However,  King's  College  of 
Wilkcs-Barre,  Pa,,  has  filled  in  the  vacancy.  This  is  the  college  at 
which  Dim  Montero,  former  Sho'  grid  mentor,  now  coaches  the 
pigskin  sport. 

Juan  "Pancho"  Hernandez  was  quite  inspired  during  last  Thurs- 
day's iritra-squad  scrimmage.  At  the  outset  of  the  contest,  he  surged 
downfield  and  booted  the  first  tally  through  the  uprights.  He  then 
gazed  dreamily  up  into  the  stands,  where  he  spied  his  lovely  "Sen- 
orita"  cheering  madly  for  her  little  "center  forward."

Of  Week

Inaugurating  this  scmcler' 
of    the    week    series    is    ihc 
Kenny    Howard,   commonly    known   as 
"The  Jet"  to  many  students  on  canipus- 

This  diminutive  sports  star  began 
his  athletic  career  in  his  home  town 
of  Eddysione.  Pa.  He  attended  Kddy- 
stonc  High  and  participated  in  foot- 
ball, basketball  and  track.  His  out- 
standing performance  on  the  gridiron 
and  the  cinder  path  led  to  his  attend- 
ance here  at  \Vashington  College,  af- 
ter one  semester  at  \Ve.it  Chester 
Stale  Teachers'  College. 

As  for  his  grcalcit  thrill  in  football 
here  on  the  Shore.  Kenny  was  highly 
pleased  wiib  ihe  team's  1813  victory 
over  ihe  Drcxcl  eleven  last  year.  In 
this  game  he  broke  Itxjse  for  several 
astounding  riuis,  one  of  which  let  lo 
a  Maroon  and  Black  1  .D. 

In  track,  Kenny's  most  thrilling  mo- 
ment was  that  of  running  the  100 
yard  dash  in  9.7  against  Catholic  U. 
last  year.  Howard  also  holds  the 
school  broad-pjunijing  racord  of  23' 
which  he  set  against  P.M.C.  "The 
Jet"  has  played  a  leading  role  in  the 
Collcge'.s  success  in  the  Mason-Dixon 
Championships  during  the  past  three 
years.  He  i:!  mast  proud  of  his  part 
in  aiding  Theia  Chi  to  capture  the 
basketball  championship  last  season, 
while  pacing  (he  East  Hall  "Snakes" 
to  a  Softball  championship  the  year 
before. 

Howard  is  not  only  president  of  the 
Junior  Class,  bin  captain  of  the  1952 
track  squad.  Now  that  the  school  has 
dropped  football,  the  agile  competitor 
is  not  [o  be  outdone,  as  he  wa«  one 
of  Ihe  first  to  report  for  the  soccer 
tcami  There  are  very  few  alhlcics  on 
the  'Sho  campus  ihai  can  compare 
with  Kenny's  versatile  ability  and  you 
can  be  sure  that  there  will  be  new 
reoirds  inked  into  the  booki  before 
"The  Jet"    graduale^    from    (he    hill.

by as  his  G.I.  team  scored  all  of  their

Thetas  on  the  short  end  of  the  score. 

The  losers  scored  one  in  the  third 
and  one  in  the  fourth  on  "Choo- 
Choo"  Giiandola's  double  and  Phil

iant battle,  but  wiis  thwarted  by  the 
home  runs  hit  by  mighty  -W  Zaloski 
and  Dob  Jackson.  The  entire  game 
was  dominated  by  errors  on  both 
teams,  as  (he  winners  scored  four  runs 
in  the  first  inning.  The  K..\.'s  exe- 
cuted a  double  play  in  (he  (bird  in-

The  Sho'  hill  and  dale  hopefuls 
journey  to  Baltimore  tomorrow  after- 
noon where  they  will  match  strides

The  Greyhounds  promise  to  be  one 
of  the  top  Mason-Dixon  teams  of 
i9r)l,  due  (o  Ihcir  ilepih  and  exper-

and  returned  home  boasting  a  27-30 
victory.  It  was  in  this  dual  meet 
I  that  Fil  Drydcn,  now  a  \V.C.  alum- 
nus, set  a  new  course  record  for  the 
Chestcrtown  school.  His  absence  has 
.considerably  weakened  the  Shoremen.

Tom  Vobci!.',  Ed  Colbourn,  George 
Bonadiao,  Joe  Pas/ik.  Bob  Robinson

of  thinclads  thai  captured  third  place 
honors  at  ihc  M-D  last  year. 

The  Chestcrtown  squad,  Judcing 
from  past  performance,  seems  lo  be 
equally  balanced.  The  new  men  have 
proven  their  ability  and  arc  progress-

Saturday 

The  Washington  College  cross- 
country team  fell  before  a  welt-bal- 
nnccd  West  Chester  outfit  here  last 
Saturday,    by   the    score   of    17    to    46. 

The  visitors,  placed  three  men  across 
Ihc  finish  line  before  (hr  first  Sho' 
harrier,  Bob  Appleby,  scored  for  the 
home  team.  Although  Francis  Wright, 
West  Chester's  lead  man  broke  the 
tape  fifty  vards  ahead  of  the  remain- 
ing thinclads,  the  highlight  of  the 
meet  was  staged  by  Lnverne  Russell 
and  Bob  Appleby.  The  latter  was 
edged  out  by  five  tenths  of  a  second 
in  a  thrilling  last  minute  surge.  Both 
men  sprintid  the  length  of  the  foot- 
ball field,  Russell  retaining  the  honors. 

Four  Gray  and  Gold  runners  trailed 
Appleby  across  the  finish  line,  followed 
by  four  Maroon  and  Black  harriers. 
The  first  five  men  scoring  for  the 
home  team  were  .Appleby,  George 
Eichelbcrgcr,  Jack  Bacon,  Ellsworth 
Boyd,  and  Don  Hcverly. 

The  course  for  the  meet  was  cut 
down  from  3.5  miles  to  3  miles  since 
it  was  so  early  in  the  season  for  a 
dual  encounter.  Francis  Wright  step- 
ped the  distance  in  1 7  minutes,  57 
seconds,  a  creditable  lime  considering 
the   unbearable  heat   of   the   mid-day 

For  the  benefit  of  those  who   are 

doubtful  as  to  how  a  cross-country 
meet  is  scored,  a  brief  explanation 
should  simplify  any  skepticism.  The 
score  is  tabulated  from  the  first  five 
men  of  each  team  to  cross  the  fini.sh 
line.  Therefore,  if  your  team  should 
place  men  fourth,  ninth,  tenth  eleventh 
and  twelfth,  (as  was  the  case  last 
Saturday]  these  numbers  are  totaled 
to  46  which  is  your  team  score.  Hence, 
the  low  score  determines  the

Washington  College  opens  i(s  1951 
soccer  season  Ihis  afternoon  as  the 
Maroon  &  Black  take  the  field 
against  Franklin  .t  Marshall  College, 
in  Lancaster,  Pa. 

Freshman  coach  Howie  Ncsbitt  was 
unsure  as  to  his  starting  line-up  for 
today's  opener,  but  in  all  probabili- 
ty, diminutive  Juan  Hernandez  will 
be  starting  at  center  forward.  "Pon- 
cho" led  the  local  pitchmen  in  scor- 
ing last  season,  with  8  goals  in  ten 
games.  Flanking  'Pancho"  on  Ihe  in. 
side,  will  be  lettcrman  Walt  Onel  on 
the  left,  and  freshman  Gary  Duncan 
on  the  right.  Filling  in  the  rest  of  the 
line  on  the  wings  will  be  veteran  Ted 
Bcddow  and  ncivcomcr  George  Wicd- 
ercch(. 

Backficld     Hotly     Contested 

The  backfield  positions  have  been 
holly  contested,  more  so  than  has  the 
line.  Butch  McHugh  has  been  play- 
ing  alen  defensive  ball  in  the  goal, 
having  played  goalie  for  (he  Shore- 
men in  '50.  Leticrman  John  Grim  is 
holding  down  the  right  fullback  po- 
sition_  hut  it  seems  to  be  a  toss-up  fje- 
iwcen  Bill  Russell  and  Bill  Bonnett 
on  the  oiher  side.  Doth  arc  newcom- 
ers lo  the  game,  and  wilt  probably 
split  the  a.vsignmcnts. 

Another  highly  contended  position 
is  righi  halfback.  Freshman  Bill  Kab- 
ernaglc  and  newcomer  Rod  Ware  pre- 
sent Coach  Nesbiti  with  a  lough  de- 
cision, choosing  between  them.  Left 
halfback  is  being  well  filled  by  letter- 
man  George  Home.  Pre-season  "quar- 
terbacks" were  at  ends  for  someone  to 
fill  the  shoes  of  the  Sho'men's  All 
Mason-Dixon  center  half  of  la.st  year, 
Buddy  Brower.  However,  they  can 
be  sure  of  a  capable  replacement  in 
Doug  Tilley-  Doug  was  a  lineman 
on  last  year's  squad,  hut  due  lo  his 
experience  and  (alcnied  toe,  he  has 
been  shifted  (o  the  backficld  by  Coach 
Ncsbitt. 

High  Spirited  Team 

Many  of  the  starters  today  will  be 
neucomers  to  the  game  of  soccer,  and 
many  others  lack  Ihe  finesse  of  the 
veterans.  But  members  of  last  year's 
squad  agree  that  "the  boys  have  more 
hustle  this  year".  What  our  Sho'men 
lack  in  experience  will  be  made  up 
by   that  "old   college  try". 

G.  I.  Leads 
Intramurals 

G.  I.  Hall  defeated  K.  A.  Thursday, 
•1-3  in  (he  only  intramural  Softball 
game  of  the  week.  .\lt  other  games 
scheduled  for  the  past  week  were 
forfeited. 

Don  Hrverly,  proclor  of  the  fresh- 
men clan,  pitched  a  commendable 
game  for  G.I..  as  he  allowed  only 
7  hits  throughout  ibe  contest.  Mel 
Littleton  started  on  the  mound  foi 
K.A.,  but  he  was  relieved  by  Chuck 
Waeschc  after  ihc  G.I.  boys  banged 
3  runs  across  on  him  in  Ihe  first 
inning.  Nfcl  was  tagged  for  a  homCf 
by  Jerry  Lambdin,  G.I.  third  sacker, 
and  a  triple  by  Tom  Bounds,  short- 
stop. 

K..\.  got  a  run  in  the  third  when 
"Mighty"  .\\  Zatosky  knocked  a  home 
run' off  Hcverly.  C.I,  Hall  got  an- 
other run  in  the  fourth  when  Howie 
Bialk,  leftfielder,  hit  a  fly  ball  to  left 
field  to  score  Jack  Dale,  who  tagged 
up  and  raced  home  for  the  freshman's 
last  run  of  the  game. 

It  was  an  even  contest  until  the 
seventh  inning.  The  boys  from  K.A. 
scored  two  runs  in  the  last  inning 
on  a  series  of  base  hits  and  a  pair 
of  walks  issued  by  Hcverly.  Wilh  the 
bases  loaded  In  the  final  inning  and 
two  outs,  Harold  White  hit  an  easy 
grounder  to  Hcverly  who  (brew  to 
Stan  Kaufman,  G.  I.  fini  baseman  for 
the   last  out  of  the   game. 

G.I.  Hall  now  leads  (he  lea^e 
with  3  wins  and  oo  losies.

Women's  League 
Continues  Work 


New  and  active  on  the  Washington 
College  campus  is  the  Women's 
League  for  Wachin-Jton  College, 
headed  by  Mrs,  Daniel  Z.  Gibson, 
wife  of  the  president.  Organized  last 
spring  as  a  small  group  of  alumni, 
wives  of  professors  and  women  who 
wre  interested  in  helping  the  college 
with  practical  assistance  the  league 
has  now  jumped  to  130  in  its  mcm- 
U-rship. 

The  group  was  set  up  for  two 
original  purposes:  1.  To  increase  the 
bond  between  Washington  College  and 
women  on  the  Eastern  Shore  that 
are  interested  in  the  welfare  of  the 
school:  and  2.  To  provide  for  the 
colleee,  practical  assistance  in  the 
accomplishment  of  certain  objectives 
in  which  women  arc  interested.  The 
league  cmphasiTCS,  hojvever,  that 
membership  in  not  restricted  to  the 
Eastern  Shore  but  is  open  to  all 
women  who  have  an  interest  in  the 
school. 

As  its  first  project,  the  Women's 
League  undertook  the  redecoration  of 
the  lounge  in  Rcid  Hall.  Ten  chairs 
were  reupholstcred  in  bright  colored 
fabrics  and  the  once  dark  woodwork 
lightened  with  off-white  paint. 
.\rtists  League  here  in  Chester- 
loaned  seven  paintings  to  be 
hung  on  the  walls,  and  plans  arc 
being  studied  on  the  low-dark  ceiling 
problem. 

At  the  first  fall  meeting  this  year, 
the  Women's  League  had  as  a  guest 
speaker,  Mr.  A.  H.  Fellenbaum,  who 
served  as  president  of  the  same  type 
of  organization  for  Gettysburg  College 
in  Pennsylvania.  She  introduced  new 
ideas  and  methods  for  the  women 
to  use   in   their  work   for  the  school. 

Future  activities  of  the  group  in- 
clude continued  work  on  the  Reid 
Hall  lounge  and  general  aid  to  the 
girls  of  Washington  College.  Tenlafive 
plans  have  also  been  made  for  the 
possibility  of  having  a  fashion  show 
on  campus  for  the  women  studi 
here.

Cast  Selected 
For  "Glass 
Menagerie" 


Four  uppcrclassiticn  were  selected 
lor  the  roles  in  "The  Glass  Menag- 
erie", first  produciion  of  the  ye:ir  for 
ihe  Washington  Players,  They  ivcrt 
selected  by  a  casting  committee  hcui- 
ed  by  the  director  of  llic  play.  Helen 
Roe. 

Marge  Close,  who  was  chosen  Ifn 
the  role  of  ihe  mother,  will  li:ni' 
.  playing  the  rest,  of  her  family,  |ini 
Metcalfe  and  Janic  Miller.  The  |>.)i[ 
of  the  "gentleman  caller"  was  award- 
ed to  Bill  Blonmricld.  Selections 
were  made  following  three  days  of  cast- 
ing   in     Ferguson    Hall. 

"The  Glass  Menagerie"  is  one  of 
the  best  known  plays  of  the  modem 
theatre,  having  had  a  succcwful  run 
of  se%cial  years  on  Broadway  and  in , 
Europe.  It  has  also  been  a 
among  amateurs  in  colleges  and  the- 
atre groups.  The  author.  Tennessee 
Williams,  is  equally  well  known  a) 
producing  several  popular  moderr 
plays. 

This  particular  play  will  be  some- 
thing new  for  the  VVashington  Play- 
ers,  in  that  the  cast  list  contains 
only  four  names.  In  previous  pro. 
ductions  the  cast  lists  have  been  as 
high  as  50,  as  in  last  year's  prodi 
tion  of  the  one-act  plays. 

Work  on  this  first  production  will 
begin  immediately  with  rehearsals 
scheduled  several  times  a  week.  Pre- 
sentation will  be  Thursday  and  Fri- 
day,   November    15   and    16. 

The    .story    of    "The    Glass    Menag. 
erie"  centers  around  a  mother  and  her 
two    children,    living    in    poverty    ii 
St.    Louis    apartment.     The   actior 
concerned    with    how    she      tries 
make  life  look  half-way  decent  to 
children,    especially    the    girl    who 
a   cripple.     The  world  of  illusion  she 
finally    manages    to    create    for       her, 
however,    does    not    last,    and    crashes 
into  absolute  nothingness.     The  story 
has   been   described   as   "one  of  great 
tenderness    and    charm"    by    critics   for 
the    Broadway    produciion.

to  all  of  us  now.  She's  that  5'7"

our  prominent  baskrlball  players. 
Pretty  features  and  eyes  that  change 
color  according  to  what  she's  wear- 
imi  contribute  to  Pat's  assets.  She 
went  to  Regional  High  in  Penns 
Groi-c,  New  Jersey,  where  she  has 
alwiys   lived. 

Foremost  in  hcr  plans  for  the  fut- 
ure is  marriage:  and,  if  there  is  anj 
spare  time,  she'll  probably  teach  his- 
tory. 

Pat  likes  dancing,  music  (any  kind) 
liver  and  onions,  tailored  clothes,  and 
the  social  life  at  W.C.  Among  her 
f.Tvorite  songs  is  "Blues  in  the  Night" 
as  done  by  Fred  Waring.  She  also 
has  a  slight  tendency  to  swoon  over 
Tony  Curtis.  Among  the  thinRS  which 
sh^  dislikes  may  be  found  insincere 
people,  lamb  and  squash,  larpc  cities, 
hockey  and  the  color  pink.  (Nothing 
subversive  about  this  gat.) 
I  She  claims  to  like  W.C.  vwry  much 
I  and  wouldn't  trade  it  for  any  other 
in  the  world.  Do  stick  with  us,  Pat. 
j  We  like  having  you.

BILL  BROCAN 

The  student  "wheel"  of  the  Physici 
department  was  born  and  raised  in 
Hazleton.  Pa.,  which  seems  to  have 
sent  us  a  number  of  good  men — in. 
eluding,  besides  Bill.  Nick  Scallion, 
Buich  McHtigb.  and  Coach  AppicheU 
la  of  recent  lime.  Following  grad- 
from  Hazleion  High,  Bill  serv- 
stini  with  the  United  States 
Coast    Guard. 

Since  entering  W.C.  Bill  h;ts  been 
very  successful  in  doing  well  in  many 
activities  and  obtaining  a  reputation 
as  one  of  our  "all-around  student 
leaders."  Among  his  many  achieve- 
ments can  be  listed:  former  prcsi. 
dent  of  Ihe  Inier-Fraterniiy  Council, 
member  of  the  Varsity  Club,  member 
of  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  fraternity,  first, 
string  football  and  basketball  player, 
udent  assistant  in  the  Physics  de- 
partment, and  member  of  the  Society 
t  Sciences.  He  also  served  as  senior 
editor  of  the  Pegasus  in  1M9.  In 
June  of  I9r>0  he  was  awarded  with  the 
Thomas  Reeder  Speedea  Athletic 
Award,  which  is  given  annually  for 
outstanding  achievement  in  scholar, 
ship  and  athletics. 

At  the  preseni.  Bill  is  serving  as 
student  assistant  in  the  Physics  De- 
partment, as  President  of  ODK.  vice, 
president  of  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  and 
vice-president  of  the  Varsity  Club. 

During  the  past  summer.  Bill  spent 
some  time  as  golf  course  manicurist 
for  the  local  country  club  and  finish- 
ed oil  the  summer  by  testing  out  the 
absorbiion  of  shock  waves  occurring 
in  an  explosion  over  ground  at  the 
Aberdeen    Proving    Grounds. 

In  addition  to  these  many  interesu, 
we  might  add  that  Bill  seems  to  man- 
;ige  to  spend  some  time  wilh  one 
Peggy  Metcalfe  in  Cbcsterlown,  now 
and    then. 

Bill's  plans  for  the  future  are  still 
vague,  but  he  does  hope  lo  go  on  10 
graduate  school  and  eventually  wind 
up  doing  research  in  the  field  of 
physics.  Here's  wishing  him  good 
fortune    and    lots    i>f    success.

Jays  ConBde  In  Manger 

When  the  Maroon  and  Black  harriers  match  strides  against 
Johns  Hopkins  tomorrow  afternoon  at  Homrwood,  the  Bluejays  are 
likely  to  unveil  one  of  the  top  cross-country  aspirants  of  the  Ma- 
son-Dixon Conference. 

He  is  Don  Manger,  former  high  school  star  at  Baltimore  Poly- 
technic. He  raised  the  curtain  of  the  Jays'  1951  hill  and  dale  cam- 
paign last  Saturday  by  romping  across  the  finish  far  ahead  of  the 
following  contenders  from  Franklin  and  Marshall. 

Among  his  undefeated  track  achievements  as  a  freshman  at 
Hopkins  last  year.  Manger  ran  the  8th  fastest  freshman  mile  in  the 
country — 4.24.4!  I 

Nesbitt  Praises  Defense 

As  the  pitchmen  prepare  for  their  fourth  encounter  tomorrow 
afternoon  against  Western  Md.,  coach  Howie  Nesbitt  is  working  on 
the  squad's  main  fault,  that  of  constantly  relying  on  the  defense. 
Coach  Nesbitt  expressed  his  approval  of  the  team's  defensive  status 
by  slating,  "Undoubtedly,  we  have  one  of  the  strongest  defensive 
units  in  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference." 

Commendable  performances  have  been  turned  in  by  Dough 
Tilley,  George  Horn,  John  Grim,  Walt  Ortel  and  Bill  Russell. 
Goaltender  "Butch"  McHugh  has  progressed  rapidly  since  last  year 
and  has  achieved  a  high  rating  from  hij  teammates  and  opposing 
hooters. 

Sports  Shorts 

Western  Md.  and  King's  College  remain  as  the  preliminaries  of 
the  soccer  schedule.  The  "Supreme  Tests"  face  the  hooters  on  No. 
vember  1st,  3rd  and  6th,  when  they  encounter  Hopkins,  Balto.  U, 
and  Loyola! 

Rumor  has  it  that  Don  Nutzel  will  be  graduating  from  Wash- 
ington College  in  about  1958.  He  is  leaving  school  again  this  Feb- 
ruary to  play  professional  baseball.  However,  this  time  it  is  with 
Norfolk  of  the  Piedmont  League.    Class  "B"  baseball! 

The  semi-finals  of  the  intramural  tennis  tournament  have  fi- 
nally been  completed.  Bob  Appleby  outplayed  Don  Heverly  6-2 
4-6,  6-1  and  has  been  pitted  against  Mel  Littleton  in  the  finale.

campaign  by  edging  out  the  Wash, 
iogcon  College  thinclads.  2G  to  31

The  well-balanced  Greyhound  con- 
tingent placed  men  second.  third, 
fourth,  fifth  and  eleventh.  However. 
Bob  Appleby  of  the  Maroon  and 
Black  provided  the  highlight  of  the 
afternoon  by  capturing  first  place 
honors  in  the  dual  meet.  He  crossed 
Ihe  finish  line  fifty  yards  ahead  of  Ed

the  untiring  Appleby  took  over  and 
held  the  lead  for  the  remainder  of 
the  course.  Loyola's  George  Kim. 
mcrline  and  Tom  Volatile  were  nev. 
cr  far  behind  the  tivo  leading  con- 
testants. The  former  harrier  cross- 
ed  the  finish  one  step  behind  Ed 
Colburn. 

The  Chestertown  school's  second  run- 
ner. Paul  Becker,  maintained  a  con- 
stant pace  for  the  entire  3.5  mile 
couise.  However,  he  did  put  on  a 
final  100  yard  sprint  which  brought 
him  within  twenty.five  yards  of  Jim 
Ball,  the  Greyhound's  fourth  best 
harrier.  But  Ball  withstood  captain 
Becker's  challenge  and  captured  fifth 
position. 

Davis  Clinches  Victory 

The  third  Shoreman  to  complete 
the  race  was  Ells  Boyd,  closely  fol. 
lowed  by  Don  Heverly,  who  b  rapid-

Steynen   and   tenth    by  Jack  Bacon. 

The  decision  of  the  meet  rested 
upon  Ed  Davis,  the  home  team's 
fifth  runner,  who  clinched  the  affair 
through   his   twelfth   place  position. 

This  dual  meet  was  closer  than

Hardwood 
Drills  Begin 


After  a  week  of  intensive  training, 
coach  Ed  Athcy's  hardwood  aspir- 
ants arc  rounding  into  a  well  balanced 
combination.  The  first  cut  took  only 
a  few  boys  from  the  squad,  while 
those  remaining  will  see  action  on 
either   the    varsity   of  J.V,    teams. 

Back  from  last  year's  quintet  are: 
Kenny  Sullivan,  Wcs.  Edwards,  Nick 
Scallion,,  Bernie  Rudo,  Jim  Taylor, 
Danny  Sameic,  Jack  Smith  and  Bill 
Brogan.  Among  the  newcomers  arc: 
"Muddy"  Thayer,  a  good  man  under 
the  boards;  Jack  Bergan,  who  handles 
an  accurate  set  shot;  George  Hesse, 
a  good  all-around  player;  John  Par- 
ker, who  fKMsi-sses  a  deadly  one-hand 
push  shot;  Jack  Palmer,  a  towering 
center  who  handles  himself  nicely; 
Shellic  Deutsch,  a  lad  who  is  dang- 
cTOus  whenever  he  gels  the  ball  in 
his  hands;  and  John  Santulli,  a  very 
aggressive  boy  on  the  court.  The 
only  player  up  from  the  J.V,  this 
year  is  NicI  Tilghman,  a  lanky  center 
with    an    easy    hook   shot. 

During  the  past  week  the  team 
has  been  working  mainly  on  defensive 
and  ofTensivc  plays.  The  "dribblers" 
seem  to  have  the  plays  down  pat 
and  W.C.  may  be  a  top  contender 
in  the  Mason-Dixon  conference  this 
year. 

■  Coach  Athcy  Is  starting  evening 
workouts  Tuesday,  and  plans  to  start 
scrimmaging  then.  There  are  still  sev- 
eral boys  who  will  be  on  the  squad 
this  year,  but  are  competing  in  fall 
sports. 

Nick  Scallion,  leading  scorer  in  the 
conference  for  the  past  three  seasons, 
will  undoubtedly  be  a  threat  again 
this  year.  Ed.  Athcy,  who  waj  rec- 
ently appointed  President  of  the 
Mason-Dixon  Conference  for  1951, 
is  building  the  team  Around  the  versa*

JOHN  GKIM 
"Stalwart  Defeiucnian  * 

Athlete 
Of  Week 


We  seldom  meet  an  athlete  quite 
as  modest  as  this  week's  sportsman 
of  the  week,  John  Grim,  a  third  year 
man  at  W.C. 

This  6'  185  lb.  "Stalwart  defense- 
man"  of  coach  Howie  Ncsbitt's  pitch 
squad,  is  an  "easy  going'  student 
well-liked  around  the  Washington 
campus.  He  is  well  liked  on  the  ath- 
letic field  also,  but  Johnny  has  made 
it  very  rough  for  Matoon  and  Black 
opposition  through  his  rugged,  yet 
"cool"  play  afield.  His  talents  are 
not  centered  upon  soccer  alone,  for 
Grim  has  played  under  coach  Charlie 
Clark,  as  a  midfielder  in  the  net 
ranks  during  the  past  two  seasons. 
"Don't  pin  me  down"  was  John's 
smiling  reply  when  asked  to  choose 
a  favorite  of  the  two  team  sports. 
While  attending  Catonsville  High 
School  he  cavorted  the  pitch  and 
the  lacrosse  field  for  two  and  four 
years  respectively.  However,  foremost 
in  his  memory  is  last  season's  soccer 
onlest  against  Balto.  U.,  which  the 
latter  team  won,  2-1.  This  was  one 
of  John's  topmost  performances  of 
the  year,  as  he  played  the  entire 
encounter  without  a  break.  His  lengthy 
boots  and  calm,  collected  team  play 
will  lorn?  be  remembered  by  the  Bal- 
timore Bees.  The  blonde-haired  youth 
stated,  "I  rc.sperled  Balto.  V.  mon- 
than  any  other  ball  club,  and  would 
take  pride  in  be.iting  ih''m;  but  above 
ill  I  would  sure  love  to  trounce 
Loyola  College  ihi?  season." 

When  the  spring  weather  rolls 
around  you  will  seldom  see  John 
without  his  lacrosse  stiek.  His  love 
for  the  sport  is  proven  through  his 
ess  efTorLs  put  forth  during  the 
daily  work-outs.  Hustle  is  John's  key- 
note here  and  he  thrills  at  the  thought 
of  romping  over  the  field  in  tight 
competition.  His  most  thrilling  exper- 
ience was  in  1949  when  he  assisted 
the  Shoremen  in  their  12-11  victory- 
over  the  Greyhounds  at  Evergreen. 
John  is  one  of  the  most  conscien- 
tious athletes  here  on  the  hill  and 
his  athletic  prowess  is  sure  to  bolster 
the  Sho'  forces  during  his  ne.xt  two 
years   at    the   Chestertown   school. 


Group  Finish 
I  he  blanket  finish  which  the  Sho" 
harriers  staged  against  Loyola  last 
i,  in  which  not  more  than  ten 
seconds  separated  the  times  of  the 
last  five  Washington  runners,  proved 
the  balance  of  the  team. 

George  Eichelbcrger,  Elb  Boyd, 
in  Heverly.  Jack  Bacon,  Wayne 
Gruehn,  Jack  McCullough  and  Don 
Steynen  complete  the  list  of  wiry 
muscled  thinclads  competing  against 
Hopkins  tomorrow.  Steynen  is  ex- 
pected to  move  up  several  slots  <lue 
the  recovery  of  his  past  hay-fever 
condition. 

The    home      team    has      remapped 

eir  courte   and   its   leitgih   is  now  4 

lies.        Notwithstanding      thij,      the 

Shore   forcei  arc  yearning  to  Stage  a 

repeal   perEpToiancc  of  lait   ;ear.

other  game  last  season, 

Ihe  first  quarter  was  evenly 
matched,  neither  team  gaining  the 
lead.  However,  in  the  second  frame, 
the  superior  experience  of  the  Penn- 
sylvanians  began  to  show.  They  were 
forcing  the  Sho'men  to  play  a  stritrt- 
ly  defensive  game. 

Shortly  after  intermission,  Carl 
Klinges  scored  for  F  and  M  on  a 
short  boot  from  the  left  side.  Moments 
latflr,  Dick  Weller  rammed  one  into 
the  net  from  30  yards  out,  for  the 
Chestertown  school's  first  score,  Al

control  the  ball  in  Wa.shingion  terri-

The  F  and  M  safely  man  knocked  the 
shot  down,  but  VValt  Ortel  was  there 
to  make  the   tally  good.

Baltimore  as  her  hometown  and  Forest 
I'ark  High  .School,  from  ivhich  she 
graduated  in  lOlH,  as  her  secondary 
ichool  alma  inaier. 

When  she  entered  her  freshman 
,ear  at  W.C.  she  became  a  reporter 
m  the  Kim  staff,  a  position  which  she 
has  held  for  four  yean.  The  same 
year,  she  was  also 
A.O.Pi  sorority.  Later  in  her  college 
career  she  became  avsislani  treasurer, 
treasurer,    and.    finally,     president    of 

is  group. 

In  her  sophomore  year,     Sandy  be- 

me  secretary'  of  the  Reid  Hail  Coun- 
ctl  and  freshmen  floor  councilor.  She 
elected  to  the  Women's  Student 
Government  .\ssociation  in  her  junior 
■  and  is  now  serving  as  vite-prcsi- 
dent.  She  was  also,  in  her  junior  y. 
initiated  into  SSO,  the  honorary 
scholarship  fraternity^  and  was  elect- 
ed  to  serve  as  its  treasurer  for  1951-52, 
In  addition,  she  is  also  associate  editor 
of  the  I'egasus,  of  which  she  became 
a  staff  member  last   year. 

Although  she  has  taken  the  lime 
to  do  good  jobs  in  all  of  her  exira- 
cnrricular  activities,  she  spends  a  good 
amount    of    lime    studying.     She      has

by  maintaining  a  high  index  all  of 
her  four  years  at  Washington  College. 
Sandy  is  an  easy  going  gal.  buf  we

of  iliose  who  know  her,  leave

A  Small  College  . . .

"I  am  much  indebted."  wroic 
George  WashinRton  in  1782.  "for  ihe 
honor  conferred  on  me,  by  givinj; 
tny  name  lo  ihe  CoUcpe  ai  Chester." 

In  this  lelier  to  his  friend,  ihc  Rev. 
erend  Dr.  William  Smiih.  General 
Washington  also  expressed  the  hope 
that  the  fortunes  of  the  incipient  col- 
lege would  prosper  and  donated  "the 
ttiBinf;  sum  of  Fifty  Guineas  ...  as 
an  earnest  of  my  wishes  for  the  pros. 
perily  of  this  seminary."  Two  years 
later  he  consented  to  serve  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Roard  of  Visitors  and  Gov. 
ernors. 

The  college  lo  which  George  Wash. 
Ington  lent  his  name,  his  interest  and 
his  support  was  the  product  of  the 
combination  of  two  elements.  The  fr 
of  these  was  the  Kent  Countv  public 
school,  an  institution  of  more 
sixty  years'  standing  and,  by  1780,  of 
considerable  strength  and  comranniti 
Importance.  The  second  element  wa' 
the  Reverend  William  Smith,  a  Scoti 
by  birth,  educated  at  the  Universiti 
of  Aberdeen,  who  came  to  America  ir 
1751  and  served  the  College  of  Phila 
delphia  (now  the  University  of  Penn 
sylvania)  as  its  first  provost  from  H.'ig 
until   its   charter  was   revoked. 

In  1780  Dr.  Smith  c.ime  to  Chester, 
lown  as  rector  oF  the  Anglican  Church, 
A  man  of  great  enthusiasm,  energy  and 
vitality,  he  successfully  prosecuted 
many  projects  during  his  nineteen 
year  slay.  He  called  together 
Chesiertown  the  conference  of  church 
dignitaries  who  gave  the  Protestant 
Episcopal  Church  of  America  its  name 
During  four  years  he  rode  on  horse- 
back between  Easton  and  Chestertown 
—  a  distance  of  ihiriv-six  miles  —  to 
institute  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Mary, 
land.  A.F.  and  A.M.  Less  than  six 
months  after  his  arrival,  he  was  given 
charge  of  the  Kent  County  School.  Af. 
ter  two  years  of  his  guidance  the 
school  had  grown  till  140  students  were 
enrolled,  and  the  Visitors  petitioned 
that  a  college  charter  be  granted,  The 
state  agreed,  with  the  provision  that 
10,000  pounds  be  raised,  within  five 
years,  for  the  support  of  the  ^fledging 
institution.  Dr.  Smith,  mounted  hi 
horse  and  riding  from  town  to  towi 
and  from  farm  to  farm,  raised  more 
than  the  required  amount  in  less  than 
five  months. 

Dr.  Smith's  wide  acquaintance 
among  the  great  men  of  colonial  days 
insured  for  the  Board  of  Visitors  and 
Governors  of  the  new  college,  besides 
General  Washington,  such  men 
John  Page,  Robert  Goldsborough. 
Joshua  Seney  and  His  ExceMc 
William  Paca.  Governor  of  Mar\l: 
As  the  specified  10,000  pounds  had 
been  raised,  the  name  of  Washington 
had  been  obtained  and  an  official 
board  of  imposing  names  had  been 
accumulated,  the  Maryland  legislature 
immediately  granted  a  charter  on  Oc- 
tober 1.5,  1782,  the  first  college  char, 
ter  in  Maryland.  The  regular  activ- 
ities of  the  newrborn  college  went  so 
smoothly  onto  such  a  good  purpose 
that  the  following  spring  on  May  14th. 
1783,  the  first  commencement  look 
place. 

The  next  day_  a  great  procession 
formed  in  the  town  and  marched  to 
the  hill,  a  short  distance  lo  the  north, 
for  the  exercises  attending  the  lay- 
iug  of  the  cornerstone  for  a  college 
building.  The  studenis  contributed 
lo  the  ceremony  two  French  orations 
and  a  pastoral  play,  while  the  address 
of  ihe  occasion  was  delivered  by  one 
of  the  Visitors,  Governor  William  Pa- 
ca, who  was  accorded  a  salute  of  ihir. 
teen   discharges  of  cannon. 

The  first  of  two  other  highlights 
in  the  early  history  of  the  College 
occurred  in  1784  when  Washington 
visited  the  College  as  a  member  of  its 
governing  board.  The  students  acted 
before  him  and  a  great  crowd  the 
tragedy  of  Gustavus  Vasa,  the  deliverer 
of  Sweden  troni  Danish  oppression. 
At  its  conclusion  Dr.  Smith  pointed 
to  Washington  and  said:  "Behold,  the 
Gustavus  of  Americal"  On  the  .second 
occasion,  in  1789,  Washington  was  the 
recipient  of  tbe  degrc«  of  Doctor  of

A    recollection    of    past    events   and 
the  happy  termination  of  our  glori-

of  the  rights  of  man  cannot  fail  to\ 
inspire      every    feeling    heart     with

the  greater  ruler  of  events,  who  has 
so  manifestly  interposed  in  our  be- 
half. 

Among  Ike  numerous  blessings 
which  are  attendant  on  Peace,  and 
as  one  whose  consequences  are  of 
the  most  important  and  extensive 
kind,  may  be  reckonede  the  pros- 
erity  of  Colleges  and  Seminaries  of 
learning. 

As  in  ciiiilized  socieities  the  welfare 
of  the  state  and  happiness  of  her 
people  are  advanced  or  retarded  in 
proportion  as  the  morals  and  good 
education  of  the  youth  are  attend-

casion, to  express  the  satisfaction 
which  I  feel  on  seeing  the  increase 
of  seminaries  of  learning  through 
this  extensive  country,  and  the  gen- 
eral wish  which  seems  to  prevail 
for  establishing  and  maintaining 
these  valuable  institutions. 


such  proficiency  in  the  sciences

pray  the  great  Author  of  the  Uni-

The  location  nf  the  campus  has 
not  changed  since  the  eighteenth 
century.  The  first  building,  an  elab- 
orate structure  one  hundred  and  six- 
ty feet  in  length,  was  destroyed  by 
lire  in  1827.  For  seventeen  years 
thereafter,  classes  were  held  in  rented 
houses  in  town.    The  college,  however, 


had  sufficiently  vitality  to  survive  this 
period  of  depression  and  in  1844 
another  building  was  erected,  now 
known  as  Middle  Hall.  Ten  yean 
later,  the  present  East  and  West  Halls 
were  built. 

The  renewal  of  State  appropriations 
in  (he  last  decade  of  Ihe  nineteenth 
century  inaugurated  a  new  era  in  the 
expansion  of  the  physical  plant.  Ira 
1893  the  citizens  of  Chestertown  pre- 
sented the  college  with  a  new  gymnasi- 
um. A  normal  department  was  in- 
stituted in  IB%  (women  had  been  ad.- 
mictcd  to  the  student  body  since  1891),' 
and  a  large  building.  Normal  Hall,

Masters  degrees  from  the  University  of 
Pittsburgh,  the  latter  being  received 
in  1925.  .\ficr  this  he  spent  five  years

of  his  years  in  association  with  edu- 
cational institutions.  He  aime  to  Wash- 
ington College  from  Franklin  &  Mar-

1929.  During  his  four  years  there 
he  earned  four  letters  in  football,  was 
named  All-Kentucki  guard  and  cap- 
tained his  team. 

Following  giadualion  he  worked  a 
year  as  traffic  representative  with  the 
Stoui..\irltnes  in  Detroit,,  and  then, 
having  decided  against  a  medical  ca- 
reer, enieied  the  graduate  school  of 
the  Iniversiiy  of  Cincinnati  for  the 
study  of  English.  He  recei\ed  his 
M.A.  degree  in  June,  1931,  and  then 
taught  English  Composition  and  Lit-

work  toward  his  doctorate.  He  was 
granted  the  Ph.D.  in  English  from  the

Dr.  Gibson  has  not  only  been  active

Booters  Tie  W.  Md.  -  Remain  Undefeated 


Sports  Review 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 

{Sports  Editor) 


The  high-spirited  cheerleaders,  the  Maroon  and  Black  pen- 
nants waving  in  the  breeze,  the  "Saturday  afternoon  quarterbacks" 
comparing  notes,  and  the  evenly  proportioned  gridiron  stripes,  are 
only  memories  at  Washington  College  on  this  homecoming  day, 
Saturday,  Octobc  27,  1951. 

The  alumni  returning  today  will  undoubtedly  retrace  their 
never  to  be  forgotten  collegiate  career  through  the  recollection  of  the 
innumerable  homecoming  festivities  of  the  past.  Although  the  grid- 
iron sport  no  longer  exists  at  the  Shore  school,  the  spirit  of  the 
institution  unquestionably  remains  a  time-honored  tradition.  It 
will  continue  in  this  capacity  as  long  as  there  are  competitive 
athletic  events  on  the  campus,  and  as  long  as  this  institution  regen- 
erates the  diligent  athletes  that  it  has  in  the  past. 

There  are  no  pennants  waving,  no  uniform  pattern  of  cheer. 
There  are  no  "Pigskin  Favorites"  nor  razzle-dazzle  gridiron  tactics. 
However,  the  nimble-footed  soccermen  and  the  iron-lunged  har- 
riers are  striving  to  achieve  identical  goals — the  honor  of  their 
school  and  team,  the  glory  of  competition,  and  the  satisfaction 
of  victory. 

Under  the  capable  leadership  of  their  new  coach,  Howie  Nes- 
bitt,  (who  was  a  graduate  of  the  class  of  '48)  the  pitchmen  have 
already  established  themselves  as  seasonable  challengers  of  the 
Mason-Dixon  Conference  title.  The  toe-talented  dribblers  boast 
an  unblemished  record  of  one  win  and  a  tie  in  conference  play  as 
Towson  succumbed  to  the  Sho'  forces,  while  Western  Maryland 
fought  out  a  draw.  A  deadlock  against  Franklin  and  Marshall,  and 
a  4-2  loss  to  Gettsburg  College  complete  the  overall  schedule. 

The  hilt  and  dale  hopefuls,  under  the  spirited  supervision  of 
coach  Ed  Athcy,  have  lacked  the  depth  to  catpure  numerable  team 
honors  as  they  have  in  the  past.  However,  several  stamina-laden 
Standouts  have  appeared  in  the  limelight  of  the  team's  dual  en- 
counters against  West  Chester,  Loyola  and  Hopkins.  Bob  Appleby. 
newcomers  to  the  harrier  sport,  has  continually  led  his  teammates 
to  the  finish  tape  in  each  meet,  capturing  individual  honors  at 
Loyola  College.  Team  captain  Paul  Becker  has  been  close  at  th* 
heels  of  the  pace-setting  Appleby,  formulating  an  enviable  reputa- 
tion among  M-D  runners. 

The  student  body  at  Washington  College  has  donated  theii 
whole-hearted  support  to  the  soccer  and  cross-country  teams,  and 
we  rest  assured  that  the  returning  alumni  will  follow  their  example

'Cage  Co-Captains'' 


BY  JACK  DACON 

The  rc-birdi  oE  lacrosse  at  Wash 
ington  College  c^nte  in  1948  afiei 
the  spori  hRtl  been  inactive  for  H 
years. 

The  '48  squad  was  built  around 
Captain  Bill  Ciiin,  Ui.b  Miillonte, 
cut  Case,  Eddie  Lconaid,  Jack  Jack, 
son,  Harry  Kabeinagel,  Charlie  Hoff- 
man.  Duke  Case,  l-atry  Westott,  Price 
Ransome,  Choiiy  Mulligan.  Raj  \Voi«l 
and  Bill  Tom.  Although  ii  was  iiut 
a  member  of  ibc  Intercollegiate  La- 
crosse Association,  this  team  compiled 
a  record  of  8  victories  and  2  defeats; 
both  of  which  were  at  the  hands  ol 
the   strong   Annapolis   Lacrosse   Club. 

In  lyjy,  under  the  guidance  ol  Dr. 
Charles  B.  Clark,  a  former  Maroon  and 
Black  Washington  College  "face-olf" 
man,  the  Sbo'mcn  were  recognized  by 
the  I.L.A.  l^aying.  14  collegiate  games, 
the  Shore  Ten  lost  only  to  Loyola,  in 
a  4th  quarter  rally  hy  the  "Grey, 
hounds",  and  to  the  Annapolis  L.  C. 

The  1950  campaign  gave  the  Sho'. 
men  a  10-3  record,  losing  to  Duke, 
Navy,  and  Washington  and  Lee;  the 
former  two  teams  hcing  incmbeis  ol 
the  "big  ten."  The  defeat  of  arch 
rival  Loyola,  12-U,  was  one  of  the 
highlights  of  the  season.  In  the  an- 
nual North  and  South  lacrosse  game, 
Charlie  Hoffman  and  Jack  Jackson 
were  selected  to  play  on  the  all  South 
team,  capably  representing  Washing- 
ton College. 

Murray  Wolman,  a  lacrosse  enthusi- 
ast in  the  class  of  "50,  donated  a  tro- 
phy which  was  to  have  the  most  val- 
uable pliiycr's  name  inscribed  upon  it 
each  year.  A  smaller  trophy  was  to 
be  awarded  to  the  individual.  In 
1918.  the  trophy  was  won  by  Eddie 
Leonard,  who  was  the  team  captnin 
last  year.  In  1949,  the  Iropliy  was 
awarded  to  Ray  Wood,  who  led  ih^  na-

and  methodical  thinking  which  set  up 
many  plays  that  aided  the  Sho'men  to 
their  hnrd.fnuglu  victories.  The  win- 
ner  of  the  Til  trophy  was  Harry  Ka- 
beinagel, who  had  played  Isi  siring 
<leleiise  for  four  years.  It  was  Har. 
ry's  fine  performance  that  held  AH 
American  Don  Swaini  of  Delaware, 
scoreless  in  Irisi  year's  contc/ii. 

In  the  Til  season  the  Sho'mcn  won 
II  of  their  13  collegiate  games.  The 
team  lost  a  lough  one  to  third  ranking 
Duke.  C-.'i.  In  a  non.ullicial  practice 
game,  the  Shore  Ten  humbled  the 
University  of  Maryland,  who  were 
later  destined  to  defeat  the  powerful 
Hopkins  Ten.  Again  Washington  Col- 
lege sent  squad  members  to  the 
North-Souih  game.  Ray'  Wood  and 
Harry  Kahernagel  secured  starting 
berths  on  the  South  squad,  labile  Ed- 
die Leonard  turned  in  a  great  per- 
formance in  the  mid.Reld  as  a  suh- 
stliute.     Ray   Wood   scared   3    tallies, 


Nick  Scallion  and  Kenny  Sullivan  shake  hands  in  agreement 
that  it  will  be  a  good  year  for  the  hardwood  boys — Basketball 
will  dominate  the  sports  scene  this  winter  with  most  of  last 
year  s  players  returning  to  the  line-up. 


Dribblers 
Lose,  4-2 


Washington  College  opened  its 
home    soccer    season    Thursday.  ' 
IS,    dropping    a    4-2    decision    to    Gei- 
i\'ibnrg  College, 

I  he  Sho'men  drew  first  blood  as 
Gary  Dunlon,  playing  inside  right, 
tallied  from  ten  yards  out  in  the 
fust  quarter.  Washington's  other  goal 
came  in  the  fourth  period,  when  Juai 
Hernandez  booted  the  ball  out  of  thi 
hands  of  the  G-Burg  goalie  for  the 
score. ■ 

In  the  third  frame  the  Shore  de- 
fense faltered  as  the  visitors  penetrat- 
ed deep  into  home  territory.  Tak. 
ing  full  advantage  of  this  slack  in 
defense,  the  Pennsylvanians  punctured 
the  goal  three  limes  in  eight  min- 
utes! .Aiding  the  visitore'  cause  were 
center  halfback  Ed  R^ihman,  who 
scored  twice,  and  ccmter  forward  Bill 
Roitek.  Iheir  other  tally  came  in 
the  second  sianci  on  a  fine  shot,  again 
by  Roitek. 

his  was  the  second  Middle  .Vtlaniic 
Conference  game  for  the  Maroon  and 
Black.  Iheir  other  encounter, 
against  Franklin  and  Marshall,  re. 
ulted   in   a   2-2  dejidlock. 


>  goals  for  the  season.  In  but  the  North  edged  the  South,  12-ll.games. 


Shore  Ten   is  now  ranked  9th 

nation.     They    were    18lh    in 

1949  and  13th  in  ID.'iO.    This  selection 

from  approximately  7r>  colleges  and 

iversities  thai  are  now  playing  the 

age-old  Indian  game. 

A  great  deal  of  thanks  must  be 
extended  to  the  Baltimore  Sun  paper 
and  Baltimore  Ncws-I'ost  for  the  pub- 
licity which  they  have  given  the 
Shoremen.  In  John  Stendman's  col- 
in  of  the  News-Post,  Ray  Wood  was 
ed  a  berth  as  an  -All  .American  at- 
tacknian.  Wood  set  an  all-time  na- 
ional  four-year  record  with  192 
goat.s,  while  cavorting  the  Lacrosse

Rebounding  from  their  24  to  32

winning  4  mile  jaunt,  Saturday. 

Rapid  stepping  Bob  Appleby  of  the 
Chestertown  squad  finished  only  fifty 
yards  behind  Manger.  Appleby  ran 
neck  to  neck  with  the  smooth  strid- 
ing Manger  durinR  the  first  3  miles. 
At  this  point  the  latter  increased  his 
pace  and  wound  up  breasting  the 
finish   tape.. 

The  Homcwood  harriers  placed  five 
men  after  Appleby.  Five  Sho'  har- 
riers crossed  the  line  in  order  from 
8th  to  12th  position.  George  Eirhcl- 
bcrgrr  staged  his  best  performance  of 
the  season  being  the  second  ShoR'man 
to  score  in  the  17  manficld.  Captain 
Paul  Becker  was  third,  Ells  Boyd  was 
fourth  and  Jack  Bacon  fifth,  to  com- 
plete the  scoring. 

Bill  Maginnis  of  the  Blue  and  Black 
was  never  far  behind  the  two  leaders, 
as  he  finished  50  yards  behind  .Apple- 
by. With  the  cxecplion  of  Maginnis, 
this  entire  Hopkins  squad  has  advan- 
ced from  the  freshman  ranks  of  last 
year  into  a  main  threat  of  the  M-D 
Conference  title  this  season.

Washington  College's  pitchmen 
fought  to  a  M  tie  against  ^Vestern 
Maryland  College  last  Saturday  on 
Kiblcr  I'ield  to  tally  their  Conference 
Record  of  a  win,  a  tic  and  no  defeats. 
The  Maroon  and  Black,  playing  their 
third  game  of  the  week,  were  severe. 
ly  handicapped  by  injuries  to  many 
key  players — several  of  the  bnys  be- 
ing unable  to  play. 

Although  the  first  period  was 
e^enly  played,  the  Shii'nicn  were  able 
10  take  a  temporary  lead  just  before 
the  whistle  terminated  the  quarter. 
Hick  Weller  became  the  first  two. 
goal  man  on  the  squad  as  he  fired 
line  into  the  net  from  the  middle,  10 
y;uds  out. 

"Ihc  Green  and  Cold  were  forced 
i<)  play  a  defensive  game  throughout 
the  second  stanza  as  the  Washington 
olTetise  began  to  click.  However.  Frank 
Kanamaker,  invading  goalie,  rose  to 
the  occasion  with  eight  saves.  The  halt 
ended,  Washington  holding  a  1-0  mar. 
gin. 

Rciuining  with  new  fight  and  spir.

Edward  L. 

Edward  Athcy,  director  of  athletics 
and  coach  at  Washington  College,  is 
the  tenth  president  of  the  Mason- 
Dixon  Conference,  having  been  elect- 
ed at  a  recent  meeting  of  the  organiza- 
tion. 

Going  into  office  with  the  Shore- 
men's boss  is  Vice-President  George  S, 
Proctor,  director  of  athletics  at  Hainp- 
den-Sydney  College.  Loyola's  Emil 
(Lefty)  Reitz  remains  as  secretary- 
treasurer. 

Athcy  is  the  second  Washington 
College  man  (Johns  Hopkins  also  has 
had  two)  to  serve  as  proxy.  The 
first  was  J.  Thomas  Kibler,  elected  at 
the  formation  of  the  Mason-Dixon 
Conference  in  1940.  He  served  for 
two  years,  as  did  his  successor,  Reitz. 

Since  then  the  presidents  have 
changed  each  year,  the  office  having 
been  held  by  C,  Gardner  Mallonee. 
Horsey  J.  Crifhth,  Charles  W,  Havens, 
William  J-  McClure,  Taylor  H.  San- 
ford,  Daniel  S.  Geiscr  and  Marsh^U 
Turner. 

The  recent  meeting  also  set  a  new 
venue  for  the  conference's  Spring  con- 
fab. It  will  be  held  in  Richmond, 
for   the    first    time,   on    March    29-30.

Test  Deadline 
Is  Nearing 


Perhaps  ihe  greatest  array  of  dis- 
tance runners  t-vcr  seen  at  this  Shore 
institution  will  "strut  their  stuff"  this 
Saturday  as  part  of  the  annual  home- 
coming celebration. 

At  3:30,  by  the  stands  on  Kibler 
Field.  Washingron  College  and  the 
Baltimore  Olympic  Club  will  begin  the 
3.6  mile  cross-country  run.  The  Balti- 
Worcsclub  is  headed  by  one  of  the 
foremost  distance  runners  of  the  East, 
Walt  Atcheson.  Atcheson,  former 
Michigan  State  college  great,  was  a 
member  of  their  N.C.AA,  and  I.C.A.A, 
cJianipionship  harrier  squad.  Last 
Saturday  in  a  dual  meet  in  our  capital 
city,  he  came  within  30  seconds  of  the 
World's  record  lor  3  milcsl

The  former  Spartan  has  been  close-

old  Baltimore  high  school  product,  i 
Ftaging  was  only  sixteen  seconds  be- 
hind Atcheson  when  he  sped  to  his 
near  record  3  mile  jaunt. 

Other  standouts  of  the  Baltimore 
organization  are  Hcnr^'  Schaffer, 
South  .Atlantic  2  mile  champion ; 
Harry  Gross,  former  C.I.A.A.  880

Appleby  Leads  Shoremen 

Bob  Appleby,  who  showed  up  well 
in  the  Hopkins  meet  Saturday,  will 
face  his  sternest  test  when  the  red  and 
white  invade  Chestertown.  There  is 
no  doubt  that  Earl  Grim's  course  re- 
cord will  fall  by  the  wayside,  and  it  ij 
posible  that  Appleby  will  be  pressed 
to  run  a  time  that  would  exceed  Fil- 
morc  Dryden's  best  of  last  year. 

".Appleby."  in  the  opinion  of  Bill 
Jimeson.  Baltimore  Olympic  Club 
team  coach,  "Is  one  of  Washington 
College's  greatest  harrier  finds.  He 
needs  only  seasoning  and  competition 
to  reach  great  heights." 

Artcmoon  Highlight 

The  Maroon  and  Black  is  looking 
forward  tb  this  meet  and  peak  efforts 
are  expected  from  Paul  Becker, 
George  Eichelbcrger,  Ells  Boyd,  Jack 
McCullough,  Jack  Bacon,  Don  Hevcr- 
ly,  Don  Ste\Tien,  and  Wayne  Gruehn. 

While  the  soccer  game  will  feature 
the  morning  alumni  day  activities,  the 
cross-country  meet  will  highlight  the 
afternoon's  sporting  activities.  It  is 
hoped  that  many  alumni  and  students 
will  line  the  course  to  cheer  on  the 
team  which  will  be  facing  one  of  the 
greatest  running  aggreations  of  the 
East. 

The  Shoremen  have  yet  to  post  a 
win,  losing  to  West  Chester,  Loyola 
and  Hopkins,  bui  have  shown  steady 
improvement.  The  team  spirit  is  high 
following  Appleby's  splendid  run  at 
Home  wood  last  Saturday. 


Colonel  Henry  C.  Sianwood,  Di- 
rector  of  Selective  Service  for  Mary- 
land, reminded  college  students  to- 
day that  the  deadline  for  filing  ap- 
plication  blanks  for  the  new  series  of 
Selective  Service  College  Qualification 
Tests  is  fast  approaching  and  he  stress- 
ed the  importance  o(  all  eligible  stu- 
dents taking  the  test  if  they  intend 
to  apply   for  deferment  as  students, 

Tiie  test  dales  in  the  second  series 
are  December  13.  1951.  and  April  24. 
1952.  The  tests  are  conducted  by  the 
Educational  Testing  Sen-ice  of  Prince- 
ton. New  Jei-sey.  Blanks  may  be  ob- 
tained by  "the  registrant  in  any  local 
board  office. 

Colonel  Sianwood  said  that  students 
whose  academic  year  will  end  in  Jan- 
uary of  1952  are  urged  to  apply  for 
the  December  13  test,  so  they  will  have 
scores  in  their  files  when  the  local 
boards    consider    their   cases    in    Jan- 

irj. 

Colonel  Stanwood  indicated  that 
those  who  do  not  have  test  score  re- 
,ulis  in  their  Cover  Sheets  may  have 
'a  very  dilhcult  time  indeed"  in  con- 
lincing  their  local  boards  that  tlicy 
ihould  be  deferred  as  students.  .A  total 
of  339,000  students  took  the  first  ser- 
of  lesis  given  last  spring  and  sum- 
mer, Cojonel  Stanwood  said_  and  63 
per  cent  received  scores  of  70  or  bet- 
ter. 

.Application  blanks  for  the  Decem- 
ber 13,  1951.  test  must  be  postmarked 
not  later  than  midnight,  Monday,  No- 
icmber  5,  1951.  Applications  lor  the 
April  24.  1952,  test  must  be  posimark- 
cd  not  later  than  midnight,  March  10, 
1952. 

The  Congress,  in  the  1951  Amend- 
ments  to  the  Universal  Military  Train- 
ing  and  Service  Act.  declared  that 
adequate  provision  for  national  secur. 
ity  TCfjuires  maximum  effort  in  the 
fields  of  sdentific  research  and  devel. 
opmcni  and  the  fullest  possible  util- 
ization of  ihe  Nation's  intellectual  re- 
sources; Congress  authorized  the  Pres- 
ident to  provide  for  the  deferment  of 
any  or  all  categories  of  persons  whose 
activity  in  siudv  is  found  to  be  neces- 
sary to  the  maintenance  of  the  nation- 
al health,  safety  or  interest. 

The  criterion  for  deferment  as  a 
student  is  cither  a  satisfactory*  score 
(70)  on  the  Selective  Service  College 
Qualification  Test  or  satisfactory 
rank  in  class  (upper  half  of  the  fresh- 
man class,  upper  two-thirds  of  the 
sophomore  class,  upper  three-fourths 
of  the  junior  class).     Seniors  accepted 


for  admission  to  a  graduate  school  .sat- 
isfy the  criteria  il  they  stand  in  trie 
upper  half  of  Iheir  classes,  or  make 
a  score  of  75  or  better  on  the  lest.  Stu- 
dents already  enrolled  in  graduate 
schools  may  be  deferred  so  long  as 
they    remain    in    good   standing. 

The  standards  may  be  raised  or 
lowered  as  necessity  demands.  It  is 
not  mandatory  for  the  local  boards  to 
follow  the  criteria.

Defends  Small 

Colleges 


Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson  officially  be- 
came the  twcnlielh  president  nf 
Washington  College  at  ihe  inaugura- 
tion ceremonies  hekJ  on  last  Satur. 
day  of  Homecoming  week-end.  Pre.'!- 
ent  for  ihc  ceremonies  were  Governor 
McKclcIin,  Senator  O'Corior,  Repre- 
sentative Miller,  the  Board  of  Visitor.'; 
and  Governors,  and  delegates  from 
135  colleges,  universities  and  learned 
societies. 

Following  the  invocation  by  Reverend 
Allen  J.  Miller  and  introductory  re- 
marks, W.  Lester  BaldvVin.  Chairman 
of  the  Board  of  Visitors  and  Cover, 
nors.  administered  the  oath  of  office 
to  Dr.  Cibiion.  Greetings  were  ex. 
tended  to  the  new  President  by  Wil. 
Ham  Brogan,  representing  the  stu 
dents  as  President  of  Omicion  Oeli 
Kappa;  H.  Gibbons  Young,  President 
of  the  Alumni  Association;  Dr.  Lawr. 
ence  C.  Ford,  representing  the  facul 
ty:  and  Theodore  R.  McKeldin,  Gov. 
emoi  of  Maryland. 

In  his  inaugural  address,  Dr.  Gib. 
son  defended  the  position  of  the  small 
college  in  the  educational  world  and 
urged  the  return  to  the  "ivory,  tower 
concept"  as  opposed  to  the  current 
worldlinevs  and  delinquencc  on  the 
college  campuses  to<Iay.  The  blame  foi 
the  present  condition,  he  added,  lie 
with  the  educators  themselves,  and  J;ie 
expressed  the  belief  that  the  impen 
toward  moral  and  ethical  leadership 
would  come  from  the  smaller  insti- 
tutions. 

Felix  Morley,  radio  commentator, 
author  and  former  President  of  Haver- 
ford  College,  delivered  the  principal 
speech  for  the  occasion.  Echoing  D 
Gibson's  views,  he  stated  that  the  pm 
pose  of  the  small  college  was  not  to 
trian  technicians  but  rather  to  develop 
the  critical  faculties  of  the  individual. 
He  pointed  out  that  college  president;

Washington  College 
Chesteriown,  Maryland 

Dear  Washingtoniaiu: 

From  the  bottom  of  my  heart,  I  want  to  thanJt  all  the  members  of 
ihe  student  body  for  their  pan  ia  inaliing  my  inauguration  Ust.  Satiu. 
day  Ihe  success  it  apparently  was.  I  appreciate  not  only  the  work  of 
thi>sc  who  participated  directly,  but  abo  the  support  of  those  who  came. 
For  only  one  thing  am  I  r^rctful;  the  invitation  which  the  chairman 
of  the  Board  extended  to  all  those  present  to  attend  the  reception  at  the 
President's  house  apparently  wa.s  not  understood  by  the  students  to  in- 
clude them.  I  am  sorry  for  that,  for  I  wished  you  all  to  come  to  the 
rec«pUon. 

Certainly  no  president  could  have  undertaken  his  administration 
more  auspidously.  1  am  proud  of  you  and  proud  of  Washington  Col- 
lege, and  together  1  look  forward,  writh  youF  help,  to  making  our  school 
all  that  our  dreams  want  it  to  be. 

Cordially  yours, 

Daniel    Z.    Gibson 
President

With  till-  Discipline  Committee  on  everyone's  lips,  time  has 
come  for  the  Elm  to  take  a  stand  on  an  issue.  Never  having  been 
long  on  words  when  a  few  would  do,  this  writer  will  come  to  the 
point. 

Contrary  to  popular  opinion,  the  penalties  inflicted  were  not 
without  precedent.  Similar  action,  on  the  student's  behalf,  has 
resulted  in  the  same  punishment.  Hence,  it  must  be  quite  evident 
to  any  student  of  law  that  the  penalty  suited  the  violation. 

What  is  less  palatable  is  the  fact  that  some  of  the  guilty  parties 
had  previously  unblemished  records;  not  only  unblemished,  but  out- 
standing. When  people  like  this  violate  a  rule,  it  is  time  for  all  of 
us  to  turn  the  searchlight  upon  ourselves  and  reflect  if  we,  too,  at 
one  time  or  another,  have  not  been  just  as  far,  if  not  farther,  "ofT- 
base".  There  are  few  people  walking  this  campus  today  who  can 
look  this  writer  in  the  eye  and  say.  "Not  rae,  I'm  clean!". 

Hence,  this  is  a  problem  that  affects  all  of  us.  Not  that  next 
time  we  may  get  caught,  but  how  low  have  our  sense  of  values 
slipped. 

The  Discipline  Committee  was  put  in  a  tough  spot.  There 
were  pros  and  cons  to  be  weighed.  That  they  weighed  them  and 
came  up  with  the  best  solution  to  their  knowledge,  we  must  ac- 
cept or  be  faced  with  the  stark  truth  that  we  have  no  faith  in  our 
system  of  jurisprudence. 

Therefore,  it  is  plain  to  this  writer  that  while  we  may  disagree 
1%'ith  it<;  actions,  which  this  writer  does  not,  we  must  realize  that  the 
action  whicli  they  took  was  felt  to  be  necessary  and  is  hence  beyond 
xeproach-

this  week-end  brought  many  alums 
back,  among  them — Jane  Urooks.  Nan- 
cy Nultle,  Jean  and  Joanne  Ui'ffer, 
Barbara  Stone  Larrimorc,  and  Nan 
Smith   Shettcrly. 

Congratulations  to  Peggy  Metcalfe 
and  Bill  Brogan  on  their  engagemfnt. 

Our  party  at  Mrs.  Harris'  Sunday 
was  a  big  success,  although  the  weath- 
er   left    snmcthini;    to    be    desired. 


ing  them  from  the  college  campus, 
I  his  action  could  well  be  a  very  im- 
porianc  factor  in  the  lives  of  these  in- 
dividuals— warping  their  philosophy, 
developing  cynienl  outlooks  on  lite.  Is 
that  an  answer?  Is  that  solving  any 
problems? 

We  all  know  that  the  students  had 
to  be  punished.  Some  of  us  question 
the  extent  of  the  punishment.  There 
is,  however,  a  broader  and  more  im. 
portant  issue  at  stake — why  did  these 
students   behave  as  they  did? 

Wc  all  can  read  Boccaccio's  de. 
lighlful  talcs  of  ihc  nuns  and  Balzac's 
amusing  "Droll  Tales"  and  be  thor- 
oughly entertained.  Similarly  wc  wink 
at  college  boys  who  start  lights  with 
the  townspeople  or  crawl  through  the 
windows  of  women's  dormitories  late 
at  night  and  say.  "Boy.s  will  be  boys." 
But  we  ■should  never  condone  the  sort 


ere  glad   to  see 
.11    reports,   they,  too,  enjojcd   ihem- 
selve^    immensely. 

Ihc  big  news  for  the  week  is  the 
pinning  of  Miss  Barbara  Delaney  by 
Brother  Larry  Widekind— congratula- 
tions to  both  of   them.

Kappa   Alpha 
\ll    tbc    brothers    had    a    wonderful 
ic    this    past      week-end.     -V    g(K>d 
ny  of  our  old  alumni  were  back — 

ihcm.  and,  from  "*  sloppiness  which  these  all  repre- 
sent. Someone  has  failed  in  his  duty 
somewhcic  along  the  line.  This  spe- 
cific issue  at  Washington  College  is 
tied  hand  and  foot  with  the  entire 
moral  lassitude  .which  seems  lo  have 
been  ihc  keynote  of  our  society  foi 
the  past  two  or  three  decades  and 
which  seems  lo  be  coming  to  some- 
hing  of  a  head  at  the  present  time. 
Only  last  Saturday,  Dr.  Gibson, 
president  of  Washington  College,  said, 
the  germ  of  cynical  worldliness 
and  moral  delinquency"  has  infected 
the  college  campus,  the  educators  have 
only  ihepiiselvcs  to  blame.  He  went  on 
to  -^y,  "If  the  colleges  in  America  are 
to  reassume  the  moral  and  ethical 
leadership  they  once  possessed,  the 
impetus,  !  am  inclined  to  think,  will 
come  from  the  smaller  institution. 
The  development  ol  the  high-minded 
moral  and  intellectual  leadci-ship 
our  country  and  our  world  seem  so 
desperately  to  need  requires  the  kind 
of  personal  guidance  and  entourage- 
t  which,  if  we  except  the  family, 
small  college  and  the  small  pre- 
paratory school  alone  can  provide."  I 
thomughtv  agree  with  Dr.  Gibson, 
but  apparently  the  dLscipIinary  com- 
mittee does  not.  Where  was  the 
jnal  guidance"  in  ibis  example? 
anything  accomplished  towards 
the  goal  of  making  the  violators  un- 
lersiand  tbc  differences  between  lighi 
and  wrong  by  sending  them  packing 
the  same  day  that  ihcir  trial  was 
held?  Why  did  llic.-e  students  think 
that  ihcy  could  get  away  with  it  in 
the    first    place? 

I'm  not  "out  to  get"  the  di.sciplin- 
ary  committee.  The  studenLs  involved 
had  to  be  punuhcd  and  1  believe 
that  the  members  of  ihc  disciplinary 
committee  acted  in  good  faith  that 
they  were  doing  the  right  thing.  How- 
ever, I  do  continue  to*  question  the 
wisdom  of  their  action  and  1  am  still 
looking  for  answers  to  some  of  ihe 
questions  1  have  raised  here.  I  wish 
I  could  answer  Ihcm  myself.  I  wish 
I  could  say  expiicicy  what  I  would 
recommend  as  suitable  punishment.

I  feel  that  )  must  >akc  this  oppor. 
nity  to  oppress  a  few  personal  opin. 
ions  in  regard  to  the  recent  action  of 
the  disciplinary  committee  which  has 
caused  considerable  exdiement  on  out 
campus. 

ly — I  regret  ibat  the  siudcnls 
involved  behaved  as  they  did,  dcliber- 
iielv  disobeying  school  regulations. 
These  regulations  exist  to  protect  the 
bcM  interesLs  of  the  school,  ih'e  par. 
ents,  the  community,  and,  above  all. 
the   student. 

However,  1  believe  that  the  pun. 
ishmcnt  in  these  cases  was  too  se- 
vere. One  cannot  btu  feel,  in  the 
light  of  previous  attitudes  and  ac- 
tions, that  these  convicted  persons 
arc  to  serve  as  examples  to  others 
who  may  have  committed  or  may  con- 
template committing  similar  infrac- 
tions of  the  rules. 

In  the  past,  student*  have,  with 
the  knowledge  of  responsible  persons, 
broken  the  ^me  rules  for  which  foui 
of  our  fellow  students  were  severely 
punished  last  Monday.  Onl;  last 
year  one  student  fired  a  gun  in  one 
of  the  men'.s  dormitories — a  gun  that 
might  have  killed  other  students. 
The  incident  was  reported  to  the 
proper  authorities  by  the  proctor  in 
that  dormitory  with  the  hope  that 
some  action  would  be  taken.  When 
n<me  was  forthcoming,  that  proctor, 
who  had  seriously  tried  to  keep  bis 
d'jrmitory  fairly  quiet  and  orderly, 
simply  gave  up  trying,  realizing  thai 
he  had  no  teeth  with  which  to  back 
up  his  commaniLs.  Here  was  a  case  of 
outright  criminal  negligence  which 
was    practically    ignored. 

Now    we   are    faced    with    a    case    in 
which  other  students  have  broken  the 
Ihcy    have   been    punished.      I 
think  that  anyone  questions  that 
Ihcy  not  only  had  lo  be  punished  but 
deserved  punishment.  I  sinccrelv  hope 
that    in    the    future    the     regulations 
vill    continue    to   l>e  enforced.     But    I 
question    the    wisdom    of    making   any 
tudents  shining  examples   to  the  rest 
if   the  campus  that  "crime     does  not 
pay",   which   seems      to   be   the   case. 
Itiese  students  have  become,  by  1H)W, 
among    the    majority    of    the      student 
body,   nothing   less   than    martyrs,  and 
martyrs,    regardless    of     the      wisdom 
and  morality  in  their  cause,  arc  !(X)k- 
ed   upon  as  something  to  admire  and 
emulate.     Such  a  turn  of  events  could 
not  possibly  have  been  the  goal  of  the 
disciplinary    committee    and   yet    1    am 
afraid  that  is  very  likely  to  be  the  re- 
sult   of    the      strict      measures      taken 
against    last    week-end's    delinquents. 
On  page  10'^  of  the  Washington  Col- 
lege   Handbook,  one   may   read,  "It   is 
the  purpcr^e  of  Washington  Coll< 
put  forth  every  cffori  lo  stimulate  the 
student   to  honest,  conscientious,     and 
successful  work,  bui  the  college  is  un- 
willing to  undertake  to  discipline  the 
student  who  shows  himself  persistent, 
ly  out  of  sympathy  with  its  purposes." 
1  fail  to  see  where  the  students  involv. 
cd  have  peraisicntly  shown  themselves 
to  be  out  of  sympathy  with  the  col- 
lege's purposes  and  ycr  the  school  has, 
in    effect,    refused    to     undertake    the 
discipline  ol  these  sHidents  by  remov. 


Meeting 
The  Frosh 


Jane  Carr 

Barbara  Jonci — .X  cute,  button  nose, 
mischievous  brown  eyes,  and  a  sun- 
shine personality  equals  "B.B." — one  ol 
our  candidates  for  the  Homecoming 
Court.  This  5'3 "  Navy  Junior  might 
be  the  "China  Doll"  ot  the  freshman 
class,  but  she  made  four  varsity  teams 
in    Annapolis    High    School! 

Sports  (especially  swinuning  and 
golf)  rate  high  with  her  along  with 
Florida,  dancing,  the  color  red.  and 
Dixieland,  She's  a  gal  with  few  dis. 
likes  (fried  oysters  and  "fussy,  com. 
plaining  people").  And,  guys,  if  you 
want  to  make  a  hit.  she  goes  for  the 
personality  boy  with  a  good  sense  of 
humor. 

Originally  from  Hawaii,  Barbara 
has  traveled  across  the  continent 
three  times — main  stops  being  Cali. 
fornia,  Rhode  Island.  Florida  and 
Washington.  But  for  the  last  three 
years  (Attention,  girls!)  she  has  been 
living   in    the   Naval   Academy   Yard. 

Foremost  in  the  fuiurc,  at  present, 
is  teaching:  but  Jonesy  "won't  care  too 
much"  if  there  is  an  interrupiion. 
As  for  W.C.,  "there's  none  better." 
especially  the  people  and  the  parties. 
We're  glad  Barbara  likes  it  here,  be- 
cause she  has  really  made  a  terrific 
hit    with    us. 

Don  Stcynen— Girls,  black  '41  Cadil- 
lacs, girls.  Ocean  City,  girls,  lacrosse, 
and  girls^^these  are  the  subjects 
dearest  to  ihc  heart  of  the  freshman 
from  St.  Paul's.  He  is  that  6'I",  160 
pounder  usually  wandering  around 
(he  campus  in  white  bucks,  grey  flan- 
nels, reggies.  and  button-down  shins. 

As  for  that  sharkskin  on  his  left 
leg,  Don  says  "Pu-Icase,  no  more  ques. 
ttonst  It's  an  anklet  so  made  thai  if 
you  are  swimming  in  ihc  ocean  and 
arc  attacked  by  a  shark,  you  arc  safe," 
This  is  a  last  remnant  from  liis  Ocean 
City  job  of  renting  beach  umbrellas 
(hidden    lalcnt    herel). 

Don  is  one  of  those  Gene  Krupa 
Ibvcrs  and  "Why  do  I  Love  You?" 
heads  his   list  of  song  favorites. 

When    it    comcs    lo  dislikes,   here   is 

e  story — sophomore*,  political  sci- 
ence, accounting,  history,  Spanish, 
English,  and  all  Lambda  CM  Alpha 
presidents. 

.-Vfter  graduation,  his  aim  is  hotel 
management — a  job  which  Don  and 
his  ever-present  humor  could  liven 
up. 

He  likes  W.C.  and  we  thing  that 
he    is   a    great    guy.

Sports  Review

(Sports  Editor) 


Dryden's  Mark  Threatened 

The  second  annual  Del-Mar  Cross-country  Championship 
at  Clifton  Park  tomorrow  afternoon  features  The  Baltnnore  Olvin- 
pic  Club,  Washington  College,  Towson  State  Teachers'  Colli  gi 
and  Catholic  University. 

Filmore  Dryden,  former  Shore  harrier,  who  captured  individu 
honors  last  year,  will  not  return  to  defend  his  title.  However,  hi 
time  of  20  minutes,  41  seconds  for  the  3.8  mile  course  uill  li 
threatened  by  individuals  from  each  of  the  four  teams  entered 

Walt  Atcheson,  sensational  Baltimore  Olympic  Club  harrier, 
remains  the  "man  to  beat."  His  record-breaking  performance  on 
the  Shore  last  week  is  proof  enough  of  his  speed  and  endurance 

Catholic  University  boasts  Jim  Field,  middle  distance  ace 
from  the  track  ranks,  while  Towson  Teachers'  features  Bob  Kane, 
one  of  the  current  Mason-Dixon  threats. 

The  Shore  forces  are  headed  by  sophomore  standout  Bob  Ap- 
pleby whose  times  are  improving  each  meet.     Undoubtedly,  the  old 
record  will  face  a  supreme  test  come  tomorrow     afternoon  when 
these  4  men  match  strides  over  the  rugged  Clifton  Park  course. 
Title  Events  Set 

The  Mason-Dixon  calendar  of  1951-52  title  events  was  recent- 
ly arranged  with  the  first  championship  on  November  17.  This  is 
the  cross-country  run  to  be  held  at  Gallaudet  College.  Johns 
Hopkins  will  be  the  scene  of  the  wrestling  championships,  February 
27-28,  with  the  titular  swimming  meet  at  American  U  on  March 
14-15. 

In  the  spring,  Hopkins  will  play  host  to  the  May  9-10  track 
and  field  championships;  the  May  12  golf  tournament  goes  to  Bon- 
nie View  Country  Club;  the  May  16-17  baseball  championship 
playoffs  site  will  be  decided  later,  with  the  May  17  tennis  champion- 
ship playoff  to  be  held  on  the  courts  of  the  southern  division  win- 


Introducing  

THE  FACULTY 


Mrs,  Marguerite  E.  Wdlhani,  a  na- 
live  of  Kent  County,  returned  last' 
year  to  her  home  on  Goose  Hill  and 
this  fall  was  called  by  Dr.  C>ihM>n  lo 
be  house   mother  of   Middle   Hall. 

She  attended  Towson  .State  Teach- 
ers' College  and  then  taught  school  in 
Baltimore.  .After  her  marriage  she 
kept  house  in  that  city.  She  worked 
for  the  Red  Cros,>;  in  Baltimore  as  a 
....ursc's  Aid  in  the  Marjland  General 
Hospital.  She  was  also  a  member  of 
the  Eastern  Shore  Society  in  Dalti- 
more. 

Last  year  Mrs.  VVcllham  returned 
to  the  Eastern  Shore  and  built  her 
home  on  Goose  Hill.  She  is  an  olliccr 
in  the  St.  Jame'i'  Methodist  Church 
and  remains  active  in  the  Red  Cross, 
although  Middle  Hall  occupies  most 
of   her   time. 

Mrs.  VVellham  has  spent  much  oi 
her  life  in  Kent  County,  hut  this  is 
her  first  experience  with  Washington 
College.  She  likes  Middle  Hall  and

Atcheson 
Sets  Record 


I  he  Washington  College  cro);s. 
country  team  experienced  no  disgrace 
last  Sunday  as  they  suffered  a  15  to 
40  setback  at  the  hands  of  the  talent- 
laden   Baltimore  Olympic  Club. 

Walt  Atcheson,  former  Michigan 
Slate  harrier,  set  a  new  course  record 
of  17  minutes,  39  seconds  for  the  3.6 
mile  course.  This  new  mark  i^  44 
seconds  faster  than  that  established 
last  year  by  the  fleet-footed  Earl 
Grim  of  Johns  HopkinsI  Grim  set  his 
mark  at  the  prime  of  his  cross-coun. 
try  career  at  the  Homewood  institu- 
tion. This  is  a  significant  hint  that 
.Atcheson's  running  ability  is  compar. 
able  to  the  top  hill  and  dale  artists 
of  the  East!  His  future  performances 
will  accentuate  his  abilities. 

Teammate  Frank  Pflagingalso  bet- 
tered the  old  course  record  as  he  traii- 
ed^lhc  winner  across  the  finish  in  the 
excellent  time  of  17  minutes,  ."ia  sec. 
onds.  Pflaging  was  former  Balii. 
more  Polytechnic  Institute  sensation 
and    is   destined    for   greater   acclaim. 

Henrj'  SchafTer,  Sonth  Atlantic  2 
mile  champion;  Bob  Edwin  and  Wil- 
ley  Miller,  veteran  B.O.C.  ihinclads, 
completed  the  scoring  for  the  Red 
and   White. 

Topping  the  home  team's  list  of 
iron-lunged  athletes  was  "Blonde 
Bob"  Appleby.  Although  he  finished 
in  6tli  position,  his  ttnie  was  equal 
to  Fil  Dryden's  best  of  last  year  on 
the   Washington   course. 

Captain  Paul  Becker  was  only  77 
seconds  behind  Appleby.  The  third 
Shoreman  to  breast  (he  fmish  was 
George  Eichelbcrgcr,  followed  by  Ells 
Boyd  and  Jack  Bacon.  Wayne  Grii- 
ehn  was  the  sixth  of  the  Maroon  and 
Black  squad  (o  complete  the  3.6  mile 
grind. 

George  Brown,  former  Mason-Dixon 
champion,  exhibited  his  usual  smooth 
striding  pace  as  he  finished  behind 
leaininaie  John  Siillman.  The  latter 
forged  ahead  of  .Atcheson  at  the  out- 
set of  the  meet,  but  failed  to  main- 
tain  the  speedy  pace  of  the  modest 
Spartan  athlete.  The  8tli  "Pic"  thin- 
clad  to  finish  the  race  was  Travor 
Thtmias,  another  Baltimore  high 
schtKil    product.

Host  Team 
Favored  In 
Del  Mar  Meet 


1  he  Baltimore  Olympic  Club,  scor. 
ing  32  points,  won  the  finit  annual 
Del. Mar  Cross-Country  Association 
Ch.-impionship  last  year  over  a  3.8 
mile   course. 

Runner-up,  with  5G  points,  was 
Washington  College,  whose  Filmore 
Dryden  walked  off  with  individual 
honors  and  a  new  course  record. 
Rounding  out  the  scoring  were  King's 
College  with  73  markers.  Salisbury 
State  Teachers',  92,  and  Mt.  St. 
Mary's    College    with    101    points. 

The  latter  two  teams  have  drop- 
ped the  fall  sport  this  season  and  in 
their  place,  the  Catholic  Uitiversity 
squad  was  invited.  The  host  team 
and  defending  champions  are  highly 
favored  to  capture  team  honors  once 
again  this  season, 

Wcll-Balanccd  Group 

Walt  .\tcheson,  who  came  within  14 
seconds  of  the  world's  record  for  3 
miles  three  weeks  ago,  has  been  estab- 
lished as  the  pre-meet  favorite.  The 
B.O.C.  team  strength  is  enforced  by 
Frank  Pflaging.  Henry  Schaffer.  Wiley 
Miller.  George  Brown,  Travor  Thom- 
as and  Harry  Gross.  All  but  the  lat- 
ter, ran  with  the  B.O.C.  team  last 
sveek  on  the  Washington  campus. 

According  to  coach  Bill  Jimcson, 
through  whose  tireless  efforts  the 
meet  is  being  sanctioned,  "It  will  be 
one  of  the  most  interesting  and  high 
spirited  running  events  to  be  held  in 
Baltimore    this   season." 

The  spectators  present  will  be  focus, 
ing  their  attention  upon  Atcheson 
and  Pflaging,  both  of  whom  have 
their  sights  set  on  the  old  course 
record. 

Becker  Sixth 

In  last  year's  endurance  test.  Shore- 
man Paul  Becker  ran  one  of  the  finest 
races  of  his  hill  and  dale  career  as  he 
captured  6th  place  among  the  field  of 
30  coniestanisl  He  will  be  striving  to 
repeat  this  performance  tomorrow  af- 
ternoon. 

Speedster  Bob  Appleby  will  run  the 
3.8  mile  grind  for  the  fii-st  time  to- 
morrow and  is  out  to  avenge  the 
l"i-40  thumping  that  the  B.O.C.  gave 
the  Sho'men  last  week,  Ihc  Maroon 
and  Black  team  strength  can  not  cope 
with  that  of  the  Red  and  White,  but 
the   spirit    is   present. 

Veterans  George  Eichelbcrgcr  and 
Ellsworth  Boyd  are  decidedly  im- 
proving their  pace  as  the  meets  prog- 
res.s  and  aided  by  Don  Hcverly.  Jack 
Bacon,  Wayne  Gruehn  and  Don 
Sieynen.  are  priming  to  upset  C.U. 
and  Towson.

Athlete 
Of  The  Week 


The  name  Joe  Ingana  may  not 
sound  familiar  to  most  freshmen,  but 
all  upper-classmen  respect  dimuiive 
Joe  as  a   very   versatile  athlete. 

"Little  Joe",  as  he  is  nick-named 
by  many  students,  was  a  hard-work- 
ing guard  on  Washington  College's 
football  team  for  three  years  and 
held  down  the  rightfield  spot  on  the 
baseball  team  during  his  Frosh-Soph 
years.  Joe  was  named  co.captain  for 
this  year's  grid  team,  but  was  destined 
to  becbmc  a  "captain  without  a  com- 
mand." 

^Vhcn  asked  what  game  he  remem- 
bered most  vicidly,  the  stocky  guard's 
answer  was  very  prompt.  He  recalls 
the  game  with  Catholic  U.,  in  his 
freshman  year  as  his  favorite.  This 
contest  wa.s  the  "Homecoming"  en- 
counter and  the  Shoremen  played  a 
hcad-to-head  battle  against  the  boys 
from  D.  C,  the  Maroon  and  Black 
winning,  7-6,  Joe  exclaimed.  "That 
was  really  a  tough  one!" 

The  versatile  star  doesn't  let  sports 
take  up  all  of  his  time.  He  is  Presi- 
dent of  Theta  Chi  Fraternity.  V.  Pres- 
ident of  DDK,  and  has  been  a  mem- 
ber  of  the  varsity  club  for  three 
years.  His  classroom  abilities  match 
those  exhibited  upon  the  gridiron. 

The  Navy  took  four  years  of  Joe's 
time,  from  1942-1946.  He  is  26 
years  old.  married,  and  is  the  father 
of  two  children.  Joe,  Jr..  who  is  4 
years  old,  and  Nancy,  who  is  18 
months  of  age. 

When  Joe  graduates  in  June,  his 
ambition  is  to  obtain  a  job  at  a  school 
coaching  football.  If  he  procures  such 
a  position,  you  can  rest  assured  he'll 
be  a  favorite  among  his  players.  "Lit. 
tie  Joe"  has  a  dominating  personal!. 
ty.  He  can  be  serious  when  the  oc- 
casion demands,  and  is  often  times 
the  life  of  the  party.  Although  -Joe 
will  not  be  romping  the  gridiron  this 
year,  you  will  always  find  him  in 
the  stands  rooting  the  remaining  fall 
sports  on   to  victory!

have  heard  numerous  grunts  and 
groans  and  the  rattle  of  iron  against 
the  cement  lli>i>ring.  This  wouldn't 
be  a  plumber's  convention,  only  a 
group  *of    aspiring    wcight-lir(er>    and 


Highlighting  the  homecoming  fes. 
tivities  last  week,  the  Shore  soccer 
tc.im  trounced  King's  College  of  Del. 
aware    by    a    5-2    score. 

1  he    third    quarter    accounted    for 

I  he  victory  margin  as  the  home  team 

Mored     three    succ(^ive    goals,    while 

hiilding  the  visitors  scorclcvs. 

Tilley    Tallies    First 

At  l.riO  of  the  second  period,  toe. 
t.ilcnted  Doug  Tilley  edged  one  past 
ihe  King  goalie  on  a  smoothly  cxe. 
lutcd  feed  from  wingman  Kenny 
Howard.  With  twelve  minutes  re, 
niaining  in  the  half,  "Jolting  Joe" 
(-eissler  slammed  one  into  the  nets, 
ill. .ting  the  Maroon  and  Black  a 
■J-0    lead. 

Wall  Ortel  soon  found  the  range 
and  was  next  to  split  the  uprights  as 
the  Chestcrtown  school  gained  a  de, 
cisive   lead   at    the   half. 

Visiton  Threaten 

The  Shore  forces  had  made  up  (or 
their  poor  showing  in  the  initial 
quarter  and  as  the  third  stanza  be- 
gan. Juan  Hernandez  baffled  the  vis. 
iting  goalie  as  he  placed  an  easy  shot 
into  the  left-hand  corner. 

Rip  Seul,  replacing  the  injured 
Butch  McHugh,  played  an  outstand. 
ing  defensive  game  in  the  goal.  How. 
ever,  as  the  3rd  period  progressed,  the 
Purple  and  White  squad  rallied  to  slip 
two  scores  into  the  Sho'  goal. 

|im    Martin   and   John    Parker   wer« 

the    key    men    in    this    scoring    threat 

which    fell   short    in    the   last   quarter. 

Free  Substitution 

When  Walt  Ortel  booted  his  second 
point  through  the  nets  in  ihe  last  peri- 
od to  complete  the  Maroon  and  Black 
scoring.  Coach  Howie  Nesbiti  cleared 
the    bench.      Every    W.C.    player    saw 

The  Washington  defense,  led  by 
George  Horn,  Bill  Qonneti  and  Rod 
Ware,  constantly  thwarted  the  King's 
attack. 

Face    B.U.    Tomorrow 

Tomorrpw  afternoon  the  Sho'  forces 
journey  to  the  Western  Shore  where 
they  wilt  engage  in  one  of  their  most 
important  contesis  of  the  '51  cam-

It  consisted  of  ihc  ligurc  of  Washing- 
ton, representing  Washington  College, 
kicking  a  dummy,  which  was  rigged  ii[> 
to  resemble  a  Red  Coat.  The  fool  i>f 
Washington  was  powered  by  an  eler- 
iric  motor  which  actually  rai<;cd  the 
fool  up  and  clown,  thus  presenting 
the  clTect  of  [he  figure  kicking  the 
dummy. 

A  large  sign  nearby  carried  the  slo- 
gan which  boasted  of  Washington's 
defeat  of  the  King's  men  (the  British) 
in  76,  and  the  suggestion  that  the 
feat  could  be  duplicated  in  '51.  mean, 
ing  the  defeat  of  Ring's  College  by 
the  Washington  College  booiers. 

The  cup,  which  circulates  from  year 
10  year,  has  been  in  existence  for  three

Although  spring  is  still  far  away, 
the  "buiier.fly"  net  boys  are  at  it 
again.  Official  fall  practice  for  the 
Lacrosse  Squad  began  Monday,  under 
the  helm  of  Coach  Charley  Clark, 

Dr.  Clark  stated  that  the  purpose 
of  the  fall  practice  was  four-fold.  The 
early  praciice  will  provide  bim  with 
the  opportunity  of  looking  over  the 
new  men  for  the  first  time.  .\t  the 
same  time,  he  added,  it  will  allow 
the  "new  men"  opportunity  to  work 
with  the  "old  men",  thus  filling  ihcm 
into  the  pattern  of  play  which  the 
Sho  squad  employs.  He  also  stressed 
Ihc  "all-important  slick  work"  which 
he  will  aiiempi  to  perfect  among 
both  the  new  men  and  veterans  of 
the  squad.  Dr,  Clark,  long  a  pro- 
ponent of  keeping  his  squads  in  e\- 
celleni  physical  shape,  said  that  the 
fall  practice  will  give  the  members 
of  the  squad  an  excellent  opporti 
ty  to  keep  themselves  in  reasonable 
off-season  condition. 

The  squad,  which  boasts  of  an  ex. 
cellent  record  of  eleven  wins  and  bui 
ihree  defeats  last  year,  will  face  a 
formidable  array  of  foes  this  spring. 
among  ihcni  Mount  Washington,  of 
Baltimore,  perennial  national  open 
champions,  in  addition  to  such  top. 
ranking  squads  as  Duke,  tied  for  sec. 
ond  place  honors  in  the  country,  and 
Navy,  8th  ranking  among  the  top 
ten.  The  'Crossers  will  really  have 
their  hands  full  when  they  meet 
Maryland  Lacrosse  Club,  conquerors 
of    mighty    Mount    Washington. 

In  addition,  the  squad  will  play  such 
top-notch  teams  as  Loyola,  ranked 
tenth  in  the  country  last  year;  Balti- 
more University,  always  considered  a 
tough  leam:  up  and  coming  Swarth- 
morc;  North  Carolina.  Western  Mar\'. 
land.  Delaware,  Lehigh,  and  two  o(h. 
er  squads,  as  yet  unnamed.  The 
spring  season  will  also  include  scrim- 
mages   with    Hopkins    and    Maryland.

Dr,    Clark     commented      that      the 

am   will   no   doubt   be  hurt  by   the 

loss    of   Duke   Case,   Eddie     Leonard, 

Ray  Wood,  and  Larry  Wescoti,  all  of 

whom   were  graduaied  last  year.     He 

aicd  that  this  year's  squad  will  have 

good  first  ten.  which  should  be  able 

to    hold    their    own    with    the     best. 

"Our   weakness,"    he  stated,  "will    lie 

in  our  lack  of  reserve  strengih  which 

has  hampered  us  in  the  past,  but  will 

hurt  us  more  this  year  than  is  previ.

Eleven  Seniors  Selected  For  Who's  Who 


'^Sadie  Hawkins  'On  Loose  As 
'Dogpatch'  Comes  To  Life 


«— 


Al  Capp's  "All  American"  carloon 
will  conic  lo  life  tomorrow  night  as 
the  senior  class  prcsenis  to  W.C.  the 
annual  celebration  of  "Sadie  Hawkins 
Day",  that  day,  clear  lothc  hearts  of 
all  the  co-eds,  that  eventful  day  when 
they  may  choose  ilieir  escort  and  make 
eyes  at  the  handsome  Lil  Abners,  pass- 
ing by,  without  giving  it  a  second 
thought. 

The  festivities  will  take  place  in 
Hodson  Hall,  which  for  the  occasion 
has  been  redecorated  to  resemble  thai 
great  American  (own,  "Dogpatch." 
The  time  is  eight  o'clock.  The  price 
for  admission  is  seventy-five  cents  per 
couple,  fifty  cents  for  stags.  On  hand 
[or  "viltles"  will  be  the  original 
"kickapoo  joy  juice"  and  such  items 
that    might    be    tasty    in    its    company. 

Highlights  of  the  dance,  if  you  may 
call  it  a  dance,  will  be  the  selection 
of  the  gal,  most  like  Daisy  Mac,  and 
the  boy.  that  resembles  Lil  Abncr  ,  .  . 
then,  Marryin  Sam  will  do  his  duty 
and  get  them  together  for  good,  a 
feat  thai  Al  Capp  never  has  managed 
to    accomplish. 

There  are  several  requirements  for 
entering  into  the  Sadie  Hawkins  Day 
festivities.  Namely:  Each  couple 
must  be  dressed  to  represent  some 
form  or  other  of  Dogpatch,  also,  each 
couple  must  bring  a  blanket,  the  floor 
might  be  chilly.  Corsages  must  be  sup- 
plied by  the  "Belles"  for  iheir  dates, 
and  the.sc  ladies  must  also  call  for 
their  dates  and  pay  all  expenses  for 
the  evening. 

All  this  galavanting  by  the  girls  will 
carry  on  tintil  midnight,  when  the 
day  loses  its  magic  spell,  and  the  girls 
must  wail  again  until  the  next  Sadie 
Hawkins  Day  to  have  their  choice,  or 
perhaps  if  Leap  Year  comes  first,  but 
that's  a  dilfercnt  story  ....  see  what 
you  can  do  tomorrow  night,  girls!

Much  has  been  said  in  recent  years 
in  regard  to  student  governmeni,  but 
nothing  really  concrete  has  ever  cvolv. 
ed.  Yesterday,  ODK  Honor  Society 
took  the  (irsi  step  towards  the  posi- 
tive direction  of  student  governmeni, 
by  sponsoring  an  open  discussion  in 
the  auditoium,  in  which  the  entire 
student  body  received  the  opportunity 
to  voice  its  views. 

Up  nntil  now,  ODK  has  been  func- 
tioning as  the  representative  group  of 
the  student  body,  although  it  is 
solely   intended   as   an    Honor  group. 

Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson.  President, 
commented  in  an  interview  with  the 
Elm:  "Ever  since  I  came  to  Washing- 
ton College,  I  have  been  interested 
in  the  restoration  of  student  govern- 
ment on  campus.  I  was  equally  obvi- 
ous  that  if  and  when  it  came,  it 
would  have  to  come  from  the  students 
ihcmselves." 

Dr.  Gibson  noted  ibai  an  increased 
interest  in  the  restoration  of  student 
government  has  taken  place  at  Wash- 
ington College  since  the  beginning  of 
the  school  year.  He  asserted  that  the 
Freshman  Class,  in  particular,  has 
shown  a  greater  zeal  towards  the  idea 
of  a  student  government. 

Student  governmeni  at  the  college 
w.is  abolished  during  the  war.  It  was 
brought  up  a  number  of  limc^,  but 
was  never  restored,  largely  due  to 
disapproval  by  veterans  who  look  ob- 
jection to  it. 

Last  year  the  Forensic  Society  poll. 
ed  a  number  of  college  and  univcrsi. 
lies  through  the  country.  Almost  100 
per  cent  of  the  colleges  polled  did 
have  student  governments  of  various 
nature.  The  Forensic  also  attempted 
to  find  out  what  percentage  of  those 
colleges  polled  maintained  an  "honor 
system"  as  part  of  the  machinery  of 
student  government.  Well  over  ninety 
per  cent  of  the  colleges  polled  were 
found  not  to  have  an  honor  system. 
Dr.  Gibson  stated  that  there  were 
only  approximately  twenty  schools 
maintaining  honor  systems  of  all  the 
many  schools  throughout  the  country. 

He  asserted  that  the  advent  of  sti 
dent  government  lo  the  Washington 
College  Campus  need  not  necessarily 
mean  that  the  honor  system  would 
be  lacked  on.  Thcie  will  be  student 
government  only  if  it  is  wanted,  he 
s;tid.  He  also  epmhasized  the  fact 
that  there  would  be  an  honor  sysiem 
only  if  the  majority  of  the  students 
wanted    one. 

Dr.  Gibson  said  that  he  was  per- 
fectly willing  lo  turn  the  matter  of 
disciplinary  action  over  to  the  stu- 
dent government,  "if  and  when  it  has 
proved  itself  and  gained  the  full  con- 
fidence of  the  Faculty  and  Adminisira- 
linn. 

"I  am  willing,"  he  said,  "to  give 
the  student  govcinment  as  much  au- 
thority as  it  demonstrates  its  ability 
to  assume  in  a  responsible  fashion. 
To    that    policy    I    attach    no    rcserva-

To  Address 
Assembly 


\  A  prominent  member  of  the  as. 
scmbly  program  on  Nov.  29  will  be 
Frank  C.  Russell,  guest  speaker,  who 
will  speak  on  'The  Opportunity  for

F.  C.  Russell  Company,  Cleveland, 
Ohio,  which  is  now  the  largest  manu-

said,  "The  high  ideals  and  purposes 
back  of  the  Horatio  Alger  Awards 
are  truly  inspiring  to  me,  and  I  am 
sure  to  anyone  who  is  connected  with 
this  good   wo(k." 

The  personal  career  of  Mr.  Russell

CLARIFY  THE  ISSUE 

At  the  time  of  this  writing,  the  mass  meeting  oq  the  subject  of 
student  government  has  not  taken  place,  but  is  scheduled  for 
November  15.  I  presume  that  Thursday's  meeting,  rather  than 
solve  any  problems  or  establish  anything  concrete,  will  serve  mainly 
as  a  sounding  board  for  the  collection  of  student  opinion  on  the 
subject  and  a  basis  for  deciding  whether  it  would  be  worthwhile 
Co  go  ahead  with  such  a  program. 

In  this  connection,  there  are  a  few  points  which  it  would  do 
well  for  every  student  to  Itecp  in  mind. 

In  the  first  place,  "student  government"  has  as  many  different 
mterpretations  as  the  word  "democracy".  What  one  person  thinks 
of  as  student  government  may  be  radically  diflferent  from  another': 
views  on  the  same  subject.  Some  may  want  only  that  each  class 
be  represented  by  an  elected  member  who  may  speak  on  behalf  of 
fais  class'  interests.  Others  believe  that  student  government  should 
encompass  many  other  functions,  such  as  those  now  held  by  the 
disciplinary  committee  and  ODK,  while  others  insist  that  student 
government  and  an  honor  system  are  inseparable.  Since  this  sit 
natJcm  docs  exist,  no  one  should  say  either  "Yes"  or  "No"  to  the 
question.  "Are  you  in  favor  of  student  government?"  Find  out  what 
(he  questioner  means  when  he  says  "student  government",  give  seri- 
ous consideration  to  each  point,  and  then  make  up  your  mind. 

Until  the  issues  become  clear  cut  and  the  various  factions  dis- 
tinct (if  they  ever  do),  the  Elm  must  reserve  judgment  on  the 
question.  We  recommend  that  the  individual  student  also  reserve 
judgment  until  it  is  clear  just  what  is  meant  by  the  "student  gov- 
errunent"  that  appears  (once  more,  we  might  add)  to  have  be- 
.come  an  issue  at  W.C. 


We  would  like  lo  lake  ihis  oppor- 
tunity lo  invite  everyone  on  campus — 
scudenis,  faculty,  administralion  and 
maintenance  sialT— to  come  over  to  the 
house  and  watch  television  on  ihe 
biggest,  newest,  and  t)est  TV  set  on 
campus. 

Welcome  back  to  Brother  John  Wil- 
son  and  Pledge  Ben  Kroiee  after  their 
recent  complications  with  knee  and 
foot  trouble  respectively.  It's  good  to 
see  you  back  on  campus  again 

Leg    and    foot    trouble    seem 
the  rage  in  the  OX  house  this  year,  in 
light   of   the  two  m 
to    Sullivan'*   ankle 
knee,   as  well   as   tw 

In  the  next  couple  of  weeks  we  will 
sec  the  finishing  touches  on  lUe  house. 
What  needs  lo  be  done  is  on  a  small 
scale.  Everyone  is  invited  to  inspect 
the  work  and  any  constructive  crit- 
icism will  be  greatly  appreciated.

Question 
of  the  Week 


What  should  student  government 
do  and  what  should  its  functions  be? 

Howie  Davis:  Deal  with  student 
misdemeanors.  Should  supervise  elec- 
tions. Should  represent  student  body 
to  faculty. 

joha  Minnich:  It  should  lake  over 
the  functions  of  ODK;  it  should  bring 
students  into  closer  contact  with  the 
administration. 

Jim  Trader:  It  should  take  over  the 
functions  of  ODK,  provide  means  for 
students  to  handle  own  problems.  It 
can  be  done  without  tying  in  an  hon< 
or    system, 

Manuel  Crespo:  It  should  take  care 
of  all  student   activities. 

Ted  Ichniowski:  It  should  put  the 
lost  spirit    back  in   school. 

Uonita  Turner  and  Jane  Carr:  Stu. 
dent  government  should  bring  about 
an    honor  system,    but  gradually. 

Kay  Heigh  Ahem:  Student  govern, 
mcnt  should  enable  students  10  handle 
heir  own  discipline  and  bring  about 
an  honor  system  as  decided  upon  by 
the  students  themselves.

Help  Wanted— "Referees" 

The  Maryland  Public  Secondary  Schools  Physical  Education 
Association  of  District  Four  held  its  board  meeting  at  Washington 
College,  October  30,  1951. 

The  four  counties  of  this  district.  Queen  Anne,  Kent,  Cecil,  and 
Caroline,  were  skeptical  as  to  where  they  could  obtain  basketball 
referees  to  officiate  the  secondary  school  court  contests  this  season. 
In  accordance  with  this,  Coach  Edward  L.  Athey  offered  the  serv- 
ices of  the  Shore  physical  education  department. 

Therefore,  the  department  intends  to  sponsor  special  classes  in 
basketball  officiating,  both  boys'  and  girls'.  Experienced  hardwood 
players,  and  those  thoroughly  versed  in  the  fundamentals  of  the 
sport,  who  are  interested,  are  urged  to  attend  these  classes  which 
began  last  Tuesday  evening.  Most  of  the  court  action  takes  place  at 
night  and  will  provide  the  students  with  a  practical  job  which  pays 
easy  money  and  which  may  aid  future  endeavors. 
Conference  Capers 

The  Western  Maryland  gridiron  forces  have  accredited  them- 
selves as  one  of  the  top  small  college  elevens  of  the  East.  They  re- 
corded their  7th  straight  victory  of  the  '51  campaign  at  the  expense 
of  a  stubborn  Lebanon  V^alley  eleven  last  Saturday,  20-12. 

Center  forward  Larry  Surock,  of  Baltimore  University's  unbeaten 
soccer  squad,  has  been  tabbed  by  many  fans  as  the  "Best  all-around 
player  in  Baltimore,  and  a  contender  for  Ail-American  honors." 

Gallaudet  College  of  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference,  which  has 
molded  many  winning  football  and  basketball  teams  in  the  past, 
is  the  nation's  only  college  for  the  deaf. 

Lcroy  Ishman,  the  former  American  U.  cage  stage,  making  his 
pro  bid,  has  been  optioned  by  the  Baltimore  Bullets  to  the  Wash- 
ington Caps  in  a  lower  league. 


Hernandez  Ends 
Soccer  Career  Here 


When  Washington  College  ended  its 
soccer  season  Tuesday -against  Dela- 
ware ai  Chcstcnown,  Coach  Howie 
Nesbitt  bade  farewell  to  Capi.  Juan 
Hernandez,  his  center  forward. 

The  diminutive  Central  American 
is  winding  up  hb  collegiate  booting 
career  next  spring,  although  he's  been 
on  the  Sho'  campus  only  two  yea) 
Hernandez  spent  two  years  at  Wesley 
Junior  College,  in  Delaware,  before 
transferring   to   Washington. 

The  24-ycar-old  son  of  a  Honduras 
doctor.   Juan      plans    to     continue 
Studies   at   a   St.   LuuLs   institution   to 
become  a   medical   technician. 

Last  year  Hernandez  was  the  Shi 
men's  leading  scorer  as  they  ran  i 
six  victories  in  nine  games.  His  ability 
for  goal-getting  and  his  all-around 
clever  play  earned  him  a  spot  on  the 
second  All-Mason.Dixon  Conference 
leant. 

This    fall    both      Washington     and 

Juan    have    found    the     going    a    bit 

rougher.    Ncsbitt's   charges    have   won 

three  decisions,   lost   h   and    tied   3. 

•Toliced"  This  Year 

Hernandez  has  been  more  elTcctive- 
ly  policed  this  year  as  rivals  have  be- 
come accustomed  to  his  style  of  play, 
but  in  one  respect  he  is  in  very  select 
company.  He  scored  in  the  6-2  defeat 
at  the  hands  of  Baltimore  Univei^ity, 
and  only  three  goals  have  been  regis- 
tered against   the  Bees  all  season. 

He  has  an  apt  description  for  the 
didercnce  in  pitch  play  in  his  native 
3nd   adopted   countries. 

"In  Honduras  soccer  is  a  game  of 
mathematical  prccisslon — short  passes, 
short   shots  and   better   ball   control." 

How  about  the  roughness  angle? 

"The  game  here  may  seem  rough. 
er,"  he  says,  "but  that's  because  Amer- 
icans are  bigger  and  huskier  than 
South  and  Central  Americans.  Actual- 
ly, it  isn't.  And  remember,  in  my 
country   you   can   rush   the   goalie." 

To  appreciate  Juan's  point,  one 
need  only  look  at  the  man  himself. 
He's  only  5  feet  5  and  weighs  140 
pounds,  dripping  wet.

Sho'men 
Win  Medals 
At  Meet 


To  the  casual  reader,  Washington 
College's  fourth  place  in  the  Del-Mar 
Championship  cross-country  race  might 
seem  like  a  bad  showing.  However, 
such  was  not  the  case. 

Three  Sho'men  walked  off  with 
medals.  Bob  Appleby  placed  nin^h. 
Ells  Boyd.  14th.  and  George  Eichel- 
bergcr,  15ih. 

Competition  in  (his  year's  event 
was  much  tougher.  For  example, 
Appleby's  time  of  22:09  would  have 
placed  him  fourth  last  year,  while 
Boyd's  22:57  would  have  put  him 
10th  in  1950.  Eichelberger  trimmed 
three  minutes  and  18  seconds  off  the 
time  he  recorded  in  his  initial  Dcl- 
\far  start.  George  has  greatly  im- 
proved his  times  this  season,  and  is 
one  of  the  Maroon  and  Black  threats 
in  the  Mason-Dixon. 

C.U.  Better  by  2 

The  final  team  scoring  showed  the 
Baltimore  Olympic  Club  the  winner 
with  16  points:  Towson  State  Teachers, 
57  points;  and  Catholic  U.,  74.  The 
Washingtonians  were  two  better  than 
the  Chesteriown  lads.  Figured  on 
dual  meet  bases,  the  Sho'men  would 
have  beaten  Catholic  U„  27-28. 

Jack  Bacon,  of  the  Maroon  and 
Black,  ran  one  of  hLs  finest  races  of 
the  year  as  he  finished  18th.  Paul 
Becker  was  close  behind  in  20ih  po. 
siiioii  to  complete  the  team  scoring. 
Don  Hevcrly's  24.04  was  a  commenda- 
ble  lime   as   he   captured   22nd   place 

the  Acid  of  over'  thirty  men.  Don 
Steynen.  Jack  McCulIough  and  Wayne 
Gruchn  were  not  far  hack,  as  they  all 
bettered  their  times  over  the  3.6  mile 
jaunt.

Blue  Hens  Eke  Out  2  - 1  Win 
As  Soccer  Team  Ends  Season

The  Shore  hooters  concluded  their 
1951  soccer  campaign  last  Tuesday 
PS  they  fell  before  a  strong  Delaware 
squad,  2-1,  on  Kibler  Field. 

The  Sho'men  remained  stubborn 
and  continued  to  threaten  the  Blue 
Hens  until  the  final  whistle.  Goalie 
Donald  Martin  of  the  visiting  team 
was  the  decisive  setback  of  the  after- 
noon as  he  blocked  19  attempts  by 
the   Maroon   and   Black   to  score. 

Goalie  "Rip"  Seul  of  the  home 
team  waj  by  no  means  outplayed,  as 
he  accounted  for  17  saves  in  the  hard- 
fought  contest. 

Paxton  Scores  First 

The  visitor's  Nick  Paxton,  the  in- 
side right  who  stood  out  as  the  "fly  in 
the  ointment"  and  hindered  the  Sho' 
forces  during  the  4  quarters  of  play, 
scored  at  2'I0"  of  the  first  period.  The 
Chesteriown  squad  had  pressed  the 
Delaware  defense  during  most  of  the 
quarter,  however,  Paxton  broke 
through    to    upset    the    Shore    defense. 

The  Hens  held  the  upper  hand  de- 
spite the  untiring  efforts  of  Johnny 
Grim,  George  Horn  and  Juan  Hcman. 
del,  whose  play  was  outstanding  dur- 
ing  the  entire  contest. 

Wcller  Leads  Sho'men 
jack    Jester    tallied    the      second    and 
final  goal   for  the  Delaware     outfit  as 
he  slipped  one  past  Seul  midway  in  the 
2nd  quarter. 

The  third  quarter  brought  new  hope 
to  the  Shoremen  as  Dick  Weller  scor- 
ed at  2'30".  The  game  became  a  see- 
saw  affair  until  the  final  sianw  when 
the  home  team  was  continually  thwart- 
ed by  goal  tender  Martin's  sensation- 
al  saves. 

Kenny  Howard,  Dong  Tilley  and 
Walt  Ortel  completely  outplayed  their 
opponents  in  this  period  as  the  latter 
two  blasted  several  corner  shots  toward 
the  goal  which  ended  as  heart- breakers. 

The  team  as  a  whole  played  a  fine 
game  against  one  of  the  top  teams 
of   the   Middle..'\ilantic   Conference. 


aU.  CONQUERS  W.C. 

The  University  of  Baltimore  de- 
feated the  Maroon  and  Black,  6  to 
2  on  November  3  at  Ortman  Field, 
Baltimore. 

The  game  was  played  midst  inter- 
mittent showers  as  the  field  was  cov- 
ered with  water  from  the  rain  of 
previous  days.  This  slowed  down  the 
attack  of  both  teams  and  rendered 
the  goalie  almost  helpless. 

In  winning,  the  Bees  displayed  the 
class  that  has  carried  them  to  two  Ma- 
son-Dixon Championships  and  should 
clinch   their  third  title. 

Larry  Surock,  a  sure  bet  for  All. 
American,  led  the  attack  with  a  trio  of 
goals.  Stam  Rosteck  with  two,  and 
Len  Brodsky  with  one,  rounded  out 
the  scoring  for  the  victors. 

Both  goals  for  the  Sho'men  werd 
garnered  by  Walt  Ortel,  center  for- 
ward. 

The  game  created  a  slight  lieadache 
for   Coach   Nesbitt   and   g.  .ilie   Butch 
McHugh,  when  the  latter  was  kicked 
in    the  head  while  trying     to  mak( 
save.      He   was    put    out    of      play 
definitely  with  a  slight  concussion. 

Bill     Darnett,     playing    his      inil 
season,  deserves  jmeniion   for  his    fine 
play  and  aggressive  spirit  on   the  de- 
fense.

BEATEN  BY  DREXEL 

Two  quick  goals  gave  Drexel  a  3  to 
1  soccer  victory  over  Washington  C 
lege   at    Kibler    Field    last    Saturday 

The  two  teams  had  battled  to 
1  to  I  lie  when  regulation  game  time 
was  up,  Washington  scoring  first  in 
the  third  period,  and  Drexel  match- 
ing the  point  early  in  the  fourth 
quarter. 

Chycowych  put  Drexel  ahead  after 
two  minutes  of  the  first  five-minute 
overtime   [wriod,   and   Jones    put    the 

mic    away    for    the       Philadelphians 

111  a  goal  five  seconds  before  the 
period  ended, 

Washington's  only  score  was  by  Ihc 
outside  left,  Dick  Weller,  ivho6e  con- 


Thc  debate  division  of  the  Paul  E. 
Titsworih  Forensic  Society  announced 
this  week  that  it  has  planned  a  debate 
tour  tor  Ihe  Washington  area  the 
first  week  of  December. 

Among  the  schools  to  be  debated 
are:  Georgetown,  School  of  Foreign 
Service.  American  U.  and  Catholic  U.

Impressive 
In  Early 
Scrimmage 


Following  a  scrimmage  win  ovet 
Bainbridge  Naval  Base.  75-64,  Ed 
Athcy's  basketball  squad  is  getting  set 
for  their  initial  league  contest  against 
Delaware   U.   Dec.    1. 

The  "dribbler's"  showed  some  good 
team  work  in  their  scrimmage  with 
the  sailors,  while,  on  the  other  hand, 
the  team  was  unbalanced  in  spots, 
Ed  Athey  is  attempting  to  iron  out 
the  bad  points  and  improve  on  the 
better  ones  in  Ihe  practice  sessions 
prior   to   the  Delaware   game. 

The  Shoremen  work  well  on  re, 
bounds  and  have  a  fine  fast  break. 
The  fast  break  will  be  the  main  of. 
fensive  play  for  the  "hoopsters"  thij 
year. 

Delaware  U.  has  an  experienced 
team  ihis  year,  with  many  tall  mcn» 
and  they  will  offer  keen  competition 
for  the  W.C.  quintet  this  coming 
season,  Washington  will  travel  to  Loy- 
ola Jan.  12  and  this  should  prove  to 
be  an  all-important  game  for  Ed 
Athey's    boys. 

In  ihc  Bainbridge  Mrimmage  Nick 
Scallion  racked  up  22  points,  follow, 
ed  by  Jack  Bcrgan,  who  garnered  H 
points.  The  game  was  comparatively 
close  going  into  the  last  few  minutei, 
when  the  "Shoremen"  got  hot  and 
tossed  in  six  straight  points.

Serious    planning    is    under    way 
prcnide  a  field  trip  for  the  Socieiy  of 
Sciences  lo  [he  Marcus  Honk  refinery 
Of  ihc  Sun  Oil  Company. 

When  3  spokesman  for  the  Science 
Club  was  intenicwcd  as  to  ihc  possi. 
biliiies  of  a  Science  Club  excursion 
during  ihe  coming  scmcsicr,  wc  were 
informed  that  ihe  "besi  bet"  at  the 
moment  is  that  the  organiiaiion  will 
joumey  lo  Marcus  Hook,  I'a.,  lo  ex- 
plore ihe  vast  inlricades  of  the  Sun 
Oil  refinery  in  that  ciiy  on  the  Dela- 
ware River. 

Sun  Oil  has  a  magnificeni  plani

terest and  value  lo  all  members  in- 
leresied  in  the  complex  mechanisms 
involved  in  the  catalyiic  transforma. 
tion  of  highly  complex  peiroletim  in- 
to the  gasoline*,  kerosenes,  lars.  and 
mcilicines  of  evenday  usage. 

Campus  Cluh 
Contemplated 

M.F.B.,  a  new  organization  on 
campus,  announced  yesterday  ihui  ihcir 
first  meciing  will  be  held  the  first 
Tuesday  aflcr  Thanksgiving  {whenever 
(hat  is)  at  2(iOO  G.M.T,  or  some  other 
appropriaie  hour. 

When  the  president,  ex-olTicio.  of 
Ihe  M.F.B..  was  asked  what  M.F.B. 
planned  lo  do  at  its  first  meeiing.  he 
replied  "M-F-B.,  believing  that  a  defi- 
nite need  exists,  will  spend  most  of 
the  lime,  at  its  first  meeting,  recruit- 
ing  members  and  adopting  a  consiitu. 
tion  which  will  meet  ihc  approval  ol 
all    interested    parties." 

Some  opinion  has  been  expressed 
by  responsible  sources  that  there  is 
no  need  for  M.F.B.  on  the  Washing- 
ion  College  Campus,  but  the  persons 
who  hold  this  idea  seem  to  be  in  ihc 
minority.

Alpha  Omega  Nu  Fraternity  To  Become 
TetronEpsilonChapterOfPhiSigmaKappa 


The  list  of  iialional  fraiemiiies  at 
W'asliingioH  Coltcpc  will  swell  to 
four,  after  the  Christmas  vacation. 
Alpha  OtncR;!  Nu  will  be  formally  in- 
Stalled  as  llie  sixty-sixth  chapter  of 
Phi  Sipna  Kappa,  it  was  announced 
this  week   by   the  local   fraternity. 

The  move  to  obtain  an  afTiliation 
with  a  national  fraternity  has  been 
Under  way  for  the  last  couple  of  years, 
It  was  intimated  by  several  spokes- 
men for  the  Nu's. 

Alpha  Onicira  Nu  was  founded  No- 
vember 7,  1947,  by  a  group  of  twelve 
students,  "who  felt  that  there  wj 
need  for  a  fraiemitv  oa  the  campus  to 
which  anv  outstanding  student  might 
be  eligible,  regardless  of  his  'race' 
or  religious  creed."  The  Fraternity 
was  first  established  as  a  local  group 
and  recognized  by  the  .Administration 
as  a   local  Greek. letter  organization. 

In  September,  1950,  the  group  ac- 
quired Jones  Hall  as  a  fraternity 
house.  The  Nu's  were  also  success- 
ful in  capturing  the  Scholarship  -Cup 
in  1949-1950.  In  addition,  the  organi- 
zation has  been  awarded  the  Home, 
coming  Decoration  Cup  for  the  past 
two  successive  years.

Cost  Of  Board 
To  hicrease 


The  cost  of  board  will  go  up  next 
semester,  the  first  time  that  such  an 
increase  has  been  made  since  Septem- 
ber, 1947,  Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson,  Pres- 
ident, explained  in  his  letter  to  the 
parents  of  students  now  attending 
Washington  College.  The  increase  will 
be  twenty  dollars  per  semester. 

The  overall  increase  per  year  wilt  be 
forty  dollars.  Dr.  Gibson  stated,  in  his 
letter.  He  pointed  out  that  the  cost 
of  food  has  increased  129%  since

ODK  Declares  Its  Stand 


In  the  past  (and  we  might  : 
recent  past),  there  has  been  a  c 
plete  misconception  of  the  functions 
^nd  position  of  O.D.K.  Misguided  in. 
dividuals  have  interpreted  these  func. 
lions  without  bothering  to  inform 
themselves  as  to  the  veracity  of  their 
surface  knowledge.  As  we  all  know, 
(his  son  of  talk  is  not  uncommon  on 
our  campus  and  we  feci  that  the  time 
has  come  for  some  measure  of  ctari- 
hcacion   on    ODK's   position. 

The  purpose  of  ODK  is  three  fold: 
first,  to  recognize  men  who  have  been 
outstanding  and  efTicicni  in  collegiate 
activities  and  to  inspire  others  to 
strive  for  conspicious  attainments  along 
similar  lines;  second,  to  bring  together 
a  cro.ss.sectiim  of  collegjaic  life  and 
thus  to  create  an  organization  that  will 
help  to  mold  the  scniimeius  of  the  in. 
Etitucion  on  questions  of  local  and  in- 
ler-collcgiatc  interest;  third,  (o  bring 
li>gcther  members  of  faculty  and  stu- 
dciit  bcKly  on  a  basis  of  mutual  inter- 


est  and    understanding. 

There  arc  five  major  phase 
catnpus  life  in  which  ODK  recognizes 
and  encourages  achievement — these 
Ijeing  scholarship,  athletics,  social  and 
religious  affairs,  publications  and 
speech,   music   and    dramatic   arts. 

National,  ODK  is  an  honorary  fia- 
icrniiy.  It  is  primarily  a  recognition 
of  services  rendered  in  the  past.  In 
certain  circles,  as  that  of  Alpha  Psi 
at  W.C,  ODK  has  been  asked  to  as- 
sume various  functions  for  the  col- 
lege. These  services  arc  not  alwaj's 
pleasant  tasks  for  (he  members  and 
arc  not  encouraged  by  the  national 
headquarters  of  the  organization. 

All  public  services  arc  at  one  lime 
or  another  subjected  to  criticism. 
Most  of  this  is  expected  prior  to  the 
persons  involved  assuming  much  rc- 
spon.sibiliiy;  however,  in  this  case  it 
is  a  criticism  for  services  that  none  of 
the  mendiers  have  striven  for.  nor 
paiiicularly    enjoy    carrying    out.     As 


was    aforementioned,      a    tapping      by 
ODK  is  and  should  be  specifically 
honor  for  work  accomplished     in 
past,  not  an  elevation  to  a  pedestal 
a    target    for   the     release  of     student 
vehemences.  ODK  is  neither  a  tool  of 
the  administration  nor  a  blotter 
student  criticism. 

ODK  as  a  body  has  no  reason  to  take 
a  position  on  any  coiuroversial  is.siie. 
.•\s  individuals,  each  member  may  take 
a  stand  on  any  subject  but,  as  a 
group,  seldom  expresses  a  joint  opin- 
ion._  publicly  or  privately. 

ODK  is  an  end,  not  a  mean.  It  is  a 
goal — a  credit  for  a  job  well  done.  Any 
degra<Iation  of  the  only  national  hon- 
orary fraternity  recogniiing  both  lead- 
ership ability  and  scholarship  and  at- 
tempting to  carry  out  its  functions, 
lowers  the  individual  to  a  low  state  of 
petty,  sliurt<sightcd  thinking.

Dr.  Berkely 
Reviews  Play 

By  Dr.  Edmund  Berfaely 

The  Glass  Menagerie  is  a  rather 
ditricult  play  for  a  small  amateur 
company  to  present.  In  the  first  plac^ 
it  has  a  rather  limited  and  transpar- 
ent plot  which  gives  itself  away  too 
early  in  the  play.  This  throws  a  rather 
heavy  burden  upon  the  cast  to  car- 
ry  the  action  along  entirely  on  acting 
ability.  This  is  a  diflicult  task  for  a 
highly  experienced  company.  The  firsi 
act  of  the  play  seems  much  the  strong- 
er of  tile  two.  the  second  being  some- 
thing of  an  anti-climax.  On  the 
whole.  The  AVashington  Players  have 
overcome  these  obstacles  well. 

Despite  the  above  mentioned  lim- 
itations of  the  play,  it  docs  offer  op- 
portunity for  good  acting  and  the 
members  of  the  cast  have  made  the 
most  of  the  opportunity.  Jane  Miller, 
as  the  mother,  struggling  to  direct  the 
lives  of  a  neurotic  daughter  and  a 
son  rebelling  against  the  frustrations 
of  his  Ufe.  gives  a  veiy  fine  perform- 
ance. The  mother's  conviction  thai 
she  knows  best  what  is  best  for  her 
children,  makes  their  tenement  flac 
unbearable  for  the  son,  and  drives 
the  daughter  ever  deeper  into  a  dream 
world  of  escape.  Her  part  requires 
almost  continuous  conversation  and  a 
frequent  transition  between  the  tragic 
and  the  comic.  In  addition  it  requires 
all  of  the  mannerisms  and  deep  soutft- 
crn  accent  of  the  former  Mississippi 
belle.  Miller  handles  all  of  these 
problems  extremely  well. 

Helen   Roc,  as   the     crippled     and 
hypersensitive  daughter,  torn  between 
a    morbid    fear  of   ridicule   and     her

A  Christmas  Story 


Now  that  the  Yuletide  is  almost  upon  us  and  we  are  begin- 
ning to  feel  the  presence  of  some  of  the  festive  spirit  of  the  occasion 
in  those  around  us,  wc  feci  that  it  would  be  appropriate  to  bring 
you  a  Christmas  story  that  was  told  to  us  many  moons  ago  by 
our" aged  grandmother.  We  hope  that  you  will  find  it  entertaining. 
Once   upon   a   limc  in   ihc  not   too 


disiani  past,  in  an  average  sort  of 
small  town,  there  was,  on  a  hill  neai 
the  ouiskirLt  of  the  community,  a  beau- 
tiful Cape  Cod  cottage.  And  in  this 
cottage  lived  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Brown  and 
their  two  children,  Mary  and  John, 
Now  Mary  and  John  were  ven,'  smari 
children  and  knew  all  about  Santa 
Claus.  His  existence  had  noi  only  been 
scdaimcd  by  mother  and  father  Brown, 
but  had  been  verified  by  the  children 
that  Mary  and  John  played  with. 
True,  some  of  the  older  and  more 
skeptical  children  seemed  to  be  con. 
vinccd  that  Santa  was  completely 
mythical,  but  their  reasoning  did  not 
make  tnuch  sense  to  John  and  Mary. 
The  children  also  knew  that  if  they 
were  good  and  behaved  themselves 
Santa  would  remember  them  at  Christ. 
mat  time  by  bringing  them  the  prcs- 
•ertis  they  most  wanted.  But  try  as 
they  may,  John  and  Mary  found  it 
awfully  hard  to  be  good  all  of  the 
time.  It  made  it  even  harder  to  be 
good  when  they  noticed  that  children 
in  some  other  families  were  bad  all 
of  the  time  and  still  rcreivcd  all  of 
their  presents  from  Santa  Claus.  So 
one  year,  just  before  Christmas,  Mary 
and  John  decided  they  would  put 
Sania  to  the  test  and  Tind  out  just 
bow  good  they  had  to  be  before  word 
got  back  to  Santa  and  be  crossed  them 
oH  hU  list.  They  both  made  out  lists 
of  what  they  wanted  for  Christtnas 
and  sent  ihem  to  Mr.  Claus  at  the 
North  Pole.  John  wanted  an  erector 
set.  and  an  electric  train,  and  a  fooi- 
'liall.  and  a  big  box  of  candy,  and  a 
Canledcrate  .^rmy  campaign  cap. 
Mary  wanted  a  doll  house,  and'a  set 
of  doll  furniture  and  a  play  nurses 
kit,  and  a  set  of  water  paints.  Next. 
John  began  planning  what  bad  things 
he  and  Mar^-  were  to  in.  John 
membcrcd  that  his  molher  had  once 
told  him  that  the  worst  thing  he 
could  po^ibly  do  would  be  to  steal 
something,  and  since  John 
(hat  boys  were  beilcr  at  being  bad 
than  girls  ever  could  be,  he  decided 
that  he  would  be  very,  very  bad  and 
steal  something.  Mary  didn't  think 
(hat  she  could  be  <|uite  as  bad  as  that. 
but  she  did  think  that  she  might  be 
able  to  come  in  late  lor  supper  some 
night — something  which  her  mother 
had  cautioned  her  never  to  do.  ,\nd 
that  is  exactly  what  Mary  and  John 
did.  Just  about  two  days  before 
Christmas  John  goi  caught 
some  money  out  ol  his  mothci 


and.  that  very  evening.  Mary  came 
home  twenty  minutes  later  for  sup- 
Of  course  moiher  and  father 
Brown  were  very  upset  by  all  this 
bad  behavior  and  they  scolded  Mary 
and  John  and  warned  them  that  they 

t  never  again  do  anything  like 
that.  But  tHe  children  weren't  so 
very  interested  in  what  their  parents 
had  to  say.  The  important  question 
"How  would  Santa  react?'  Well, 
on  Christmas  Day  they  found  out. 
John    got    an    erector    set    and    a    new 

Her,  and  an  electric  train,  and 
football  and  a  small  box  of  candy 
while  Mary  got  a  new  sweater  and  a 
play  nurse  kit,  and  a  sewing  kit.  .All 
of  which  led  John  and  Mary  to  the 
conclusion  that,  if  one  wants  to  be 
bad.  one  should  be  very,  very  bad  and 
not  just  medium  bad.  l~hey  both 
agreed,  however,  thai  it  would  have 
been    !"-ii..-r   Ti"r    n.  have   been  bad  at

corner,  we  hnd  the  .A.ONu  crowd  very 
busy.  Ibis  Saturday,  Mr.  Schaclfer, 
from  the  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  national 
fraternity,  is  coming  down  to  start 
our  naiionaliiaiion  ball  rolling  by 
giving  us  the  history  of  Phi  Sigma  Kap- 
pa and  instructing  us  on  some  other 
pertinent  points.  This  promises  to  be 
at  least  a  two  week  affair. 

We  are  also  making  big  plans  for 
our  annual  Nu  Semeter  Dance,  which 
will  probably  have  a  difTcrcni  name 
this  year. 

Congratulations  to  new  members 
Lee   DcWitt    and   Jack    McCullough. 

Merry  Christmas  everyone — sec  you 
after  the  holidays. 

AOPi 

Thank  you  all  for  supporting  the 
.\OPi  bazaar.  Its  overwhelming  suc- 
cess means  that  now  we  will  be  able 
to  rcadopt  a  little  Dutch  girl  through 
the  Foster  Parents  Plan.  We  are  par- 
ticularly grateful  to  all  our  patroness- 
es for  I  heir  generous  coniribulions, 
and  we  want  to  give  special  thanks  to 
all  those  boys  who  so  enthusiastically 
helped  us  with  the  entertainment.  We 
have  planned  a  little  party  this  week 
to  show  our  appreciation  to  the  boys. 

On  Sunday  evening  our  first  vice- 
president  came  for  a  three-day  visit. 
We  all  enjoyed  very  much  having  her 
with   us  and    being  able   to   talk   with 


On  The  Hill 


Well,  everything  seems  to  be  pretty 
clean  this  time.  Or  could  it  be  that 
I  haven't  been  peeping  through  the 
right  keyholes.  Come  to  think  of  it. 
I've  been  so  busy  making  sure  that 
no  one  was  spying  on  me  that  I 
didn't   dip    up   much  dirt   this   week. 

I  understand  that  the  K.A.  house  is 
going  to  form  a  lonely  hearts  club. 
At  the  moment  their  chief  pasl-time 
seems  to  be  crjing  in  their  beer. 

Freshmen  aic  mighty  proud  of  Jack 
Bergen  these  days.  He  looks  as  much 
like  a  veteran  on  the  courts  as  a  4 
year  man. 

Don't  forget  Jane  Miller  getting 
pinned  to  Bob  Jackson.  How  "bout 
that! 

Reid  Hall  is  getting  a  reputation  as 
the  campus  infirmaLy,  what  with  all  the 
colds,  sprained  angles,  appendicitises. 
etc.  The  Master  of  Somerset  House 
has  also  been  attacked  by  some  il- 
literate little  germ.  What  will  hap- 
pen  to   the  Chester  Players? 

Hats  off  to  all  the  AVashingion 
Players   for  doing  a   great  job  with  a 


difficult  play  for  anyone  but  the  best 
of  Ihc  professionals. 

Did  we  sec  a  certain  freshman 
cheerleader  at  the  Delaware  K.A, 
house  party  after  the  game  Saturday 
nite  with  the  Blue  Hen  cage  captain? 
Traitorl 

Speak  of  basketball,  why  without" 
the  ring,  Nick?  You  should  know  bet- 
ter. 1  hope  the  situation  has  bceti 
rectified. 

What  No.  1  boy  is  being  constantly 
bugged  about  grades,  huh,  T.H.L.?  I 
understand  that  among  some  circles, 
Tom  Lowe  has  been  declared  a  pub- 
lic menace. 

Well,  it  must  be  the  influence  of 
the  Christmas  season.  Everyone  is  on 
his  good  behavior  in  the  hopes  that 
Santa  will  be  kind,  I'm  looking  for- 
ward to  the  New  Year  when  the  life 
of  a  public  snoop  will  again  become 
profitable.  Until  then,  may  1  wish 
you  all  the  best  of  Christmases,  all 
the  merriest  of  New  Years,  See  you  in

P.  M.  C.  Invades  Armory  Tomorrow 


Court  Gapers 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 

(Sports  Editor) 


Although  the  Maroon  and  Black  hardwood  squad  dropped 
their  initial  encounter  of  the  season  last  Saturday  night  to  a  well- 
balanced  Delaware  five,  continuous  improvement  is  expected  of  the 
Shore  courtraen  in  preparation  for  their  conference  opener  Decern 
ber  1 1,  at  Catholic  University. 

8  Seniors  Sing  "Swan  Song" 

Hampered  by  injuries  to  three  of  the  starting  five  during  the 
pre-season  workouts,  the  team  is  expected  to  be  at  full  strength 
when  they  exchange  baskets  against  Pennsylvania  Military  College 
tomorrow  night.  The  squad  boasts  eight  men  who  will  be  play- 
ing their  last  season  as  Sho'men:  Nick  Scallion,  Bill  Brogan,  Ken- 
ny Howard,  Butch  McHugh,  Bcrnie  Rudo,  Jack  Smith,  Kcnncy 
Sullivan,  and  Jim  Taylor.  Each  one  is  an  experienced  player  pos- 
sessing an  abutidanc^of  hardwood  talent. 

Two  new  opponents  appear  on  the  twenty-four  game  sched- 
ule, namely,  Roanoke  College,  Salem,  Va.,  and  BridgewStcr  Col- 
lege of  Bridgewater,  Va.  These  two  teams  will  be  encountered 
in  late  January.  With  Scallion  expected  to  have  another  banner 
season,  backed  by  sufficient  reserve  strength  and  team  experience, 
many  fans  are  optimistic  concerning  the  chances  of  once  again  see- 
ing Washington  College  fighting  for  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference 
Championship. 

"Nifty  Nick"  Totals  1,574  Points 

The  spotUght  falls  once  again  upon  the  smooth  marksman, 
Nick  Scallion,  who  has  led  the  Shoremen  in  the  scoring  column 
during  the  past  three  seasons,  and  fires  with  a  deft  and  talented  left 
hand. 

The  5*10",  145  pound  forward  moves  into  his  final  year  ready 
to  build  upon  an  outstanding  record  of  1,574  points  for  three  sea- 
sons. He  registered  414  as  a  freshman,  568  as  a  sophomore  and 
592  last  season. 

"Nifty  Nick"  was  high  average  man  in  the  state  during  1950-51 
with  a  26.9  nmrk  and  his  423  points  in  league  competition  were 
tops.  Last  year  he  established  a  new  school  scoring  record  for 
one  game,  swishing  the  nets  for  39  tallies  against  Moravian  College 
of  Bethlehem,  Pa.  He  will  undoutebdly  be  cavorting  the  hard- 
wood under  much  pressure  this  season,  but  this  won't  be  a  new 
experience  for  the  cool-headed,  unassuming  southpaw. 

Athey  Pleased  With  Student  Rally 

Expressing  his  views  from  the  outcome  of  the  Delaware  skirmish. 
Coach  Ed  Athey  stated  that  our  club  could  not  match  the  Blue 
Hens  on  rebounding  and  ball  handling.  However,  the  squad  has 
shown  decided  improvement  in  this  category  during  the  past  week. 

The  players  were  tense  last  Saturday  and  the  Delaware  court 
was  larger  than  the  armory.  The  team  did  not  settle  down  to 
smooth  play  until  the  latter  part  of  the  contest.  Delaware  de- 
served their  win,  but  the  Shoremen  gained  -much  knowledge  and 
experience  through  their  loss. 

Coach  Athey  expressed  his  appreciation  of  the  students  who 
followed  the  team  to  Delaware  Saturday  and  commented,  "1  am 
sure  the  backing  that  the  student  body  gave  us  at  the  Delaware 
game  will  be  rewarded.  The  fellows  on  the  team  will  not  let 
them  down.  I  hope  that  this  backing  continues  in  the  future,  as  it 
really  adds  spirit  to  the  team."

Middle  Atlantic  Honors 
To   W.  C.  Soccer  Members 


The  Washington  College  athletic 
association  recently  received  notice 
Ihat  two  members  of  the  '51  soccer 
team  were  chosen  as  members  of  an 
all-star  aggregation  from  the  Middle- 
Atlantic  Conference. 

Doug  Tilley  was  picked  as  a  first 
string  halfback  on  the  all-star  team 
of  the  Southwest  District  of  the  M-'A 
Conference.  The  other  choice  who 
made^  an  all-star  squad  was  George 
Horn.  George  was  placed  as  a  half- 
back on  the  first  team  of  an  all-op- 
ponent eleven  chosen  by  the  Drexel 
Institute  of  Technology,  Diexcl  puts 
their  selections  ont  annually,  and 
choose  only  the  top  pitchmen  of  the 
conference. 

Tilley  yas  one  of  the  C  returned 
veterans  of  the  1950  Marocm  and 
Black  team  and  was  switched  from 
center  halfback  to  the  line  to  replace 
Frank  Grower.  He  fdled  his  position 
creditably  and  is  deserving  of  the 
honor  bestowed  upon  him.  His  over- 
all performance  was  one  of  a  steady, 
bigh-spiritcd  team  player.  His  hustle 
Qnd  drive  were  a  great  asset  in  achiev- 


mg  a  position  on  this  star-studded 
squad. 

The  Southwest  Di,strict  of  the  M-.\ 
is  composed  of  Bucknell,  Franklin  and 
Mai-shall,  Delaware.  Western  Maryland, 
Gettysburg,  W.C..  and  Drexel.  The 
other  members  of  the  team  include: 
Coal.  Lcnz  (F.  and  M.).  fullbacks, 
Smith  (Hopkins),  and  Kintcr  (Dela- 
ware), halfbacks,  Royals  (Gettysburg)

Brooks  (Bucknell),  center  forward, 
Heacox  (Gettysburg),  inside  left. 
Santos  (Delaware),  outside  left.  S. 
Yoder  (F.  and  M.). 

Horn  was  also  a  veteran  of  the  'M 
squad  and  this  season  his  improve, 
mcni  was  extraordinary.  He  has 
shown  a  remarkable  aptitude  for  the 
game  and  his  speed,  combined  with  a 
steady  performance,  earned  him  a 
halfback  spot  on  this  all-opponent 
eleven. 

Fullback  Phil  Baur  of  Haverford,

NICK  SCALLION 

"Talented  Scoring  Leader  Averaged 
26.9  Last  Season 

Sho'men  Bow 
In  Opener 


The  University  of  Delaware  spoiled 
Washington  College's  1951-52  basket- 
ball opener  last  Saturday  night  at 
Newark,  defeating  the  Shoremen.  81 
to  02. 

Led  by  Jim  Kruzinski  and  Ray 
Crawford,  who  tallied  21  and 
points,  respectively,  Delaware  was  on 
top  from  start  to  finish,  marking  up 
its  second  straight  victory  of  the  ear- 
ly campaign. 

Delaware,  after  being  held  for  most 
of  the  first  quarter,  pulled  away  for  a 
25-16  lead  as  the  period  ended.  The 
Blue  Hens  led  by  15  points  at  the 
half  and  boosted  the  margin  to  20 
points  going  into  the  final  period. 
Wasl^ngton  was  able  to  shave  a  point 
from  that  during  the  last  frame.  Nick 
Scallion  led  the  locals  with  an  IS 
point  effort,  followed  by  Danny  Se. 
mcle  with  13  markers.  The  Maroon  and 
Black  met  its  Waterloo  when  the  Blue 
Hens  continually  gathered  the  re. 
bounds  olf  both  the  offensive  and  de- 
fensive boards. 

The  Atheymcn  came  into'  their  own 
in  the  final  quarter,  but  the  deficit 
was  too  much  to  overcome.  1  he  Shore 
team  outscorcd  the  Newark  squad 
to  19  in  this  final  stanza  as  9  U'ash- 
inglon  players  hit  the  scoring  column. 
but  once  again  the  tall  "Hens"  took 
a  majority  of  the  rebounds.

Cagers  Set  For 
Home  Debut 


Ed  Athcy's  Washington  College 
basketcers  will  make  their  second  ap. 
pcarance  of  the  sea.son  in  their  home 
debut  tomorrow  night  at  the  Ches> 
lertown  Armory  against  Pennsylvania 
Military  College. 

The  Chestertown  school  will  be  bid, 
ding  for  a  win  to  bring  their  average 
[o  the  .500  point  in  this  second  con. 
test  of  the  '51  season.  The  game  is 
set  for  7:30  P.M.  It  wilt  be  the  only 
conlcsi  offered,  the  preliminary  being 
abandoned  and  the  starting  time  o( 
the  main  attraction  advanced  because 
of  the  Christmas  dance  planned  the 
same  evening. 

As  against  Delaware  in  the  opener, 
the  Shoremen  will  be  giving  away  a 
lot  of  height,  particularly  at  center 
where  big  Bob  Marks  of  the  visiters 
lowers  to  the  six  foot  seven  inch 
mark!  Marks  was  the  high  scorer  for 
ihe  cadets  last  season  with  247  points 
and  is  a  defensive  stahdout  on  re, 
bounds. 

However,  Coach  Athey  has  beetl 
putting  his  squad  through  the  paces 
during  the  past  week  and  is  hoping 
for  a  reversal  of  la.st  week's  encounter 
against  the  Blue  Hens.  The  team  is 
building  its  scoring  punch  around  the 
versatile  Nick  Scallion  whose  play 
during  the  past  three  years  speaks  for 
itself.  Set-shot  Dan  Scmele  has  been 
iharpcning  up  his  eye  for  the  cadet 
nvasion  and  co-caplain  of  the  team, 
Kcnney  Sullivan,  has  been  rounding 
nio  fine  form. 

This  Pennsylvania  team  is  the  step, 
ping  stone  for  Washington's  attempt 
limb  the  victory  ladder.  The  first 
Mason-Dixon  Conference  game  for  the 
Maroon  and  Black  is  scheduled  for 
December  11  at  Catholic  University. 
From  this  point  on,  the  team  faces 
a  rugged  schedule,  but  each  player  U 
aspiring  to  eventually  reach  the  M-Q 
tournament  play.

Dr.  Berkely  ... 

(Continued  from  Page  One) 
mother's  deicrminalion  to  save  her 
from  spinsierhood.  is  a  convincingly 
tragic  figure.  Her  lines  are  rather  brief 
as  compared  to  those  of  the  mother 
and  brother,  but  as  the  central  figure 
whose  warped  outlook  on  life  compli- 
cates the  lives  of  the  others,  she 
handles  a  difficult  part  well. 

James  Metcalfe  plays  a  dual  role 
in  the  play.  He  is  at  once  the  narra- 
tor, who  is  reliWng  scenes  from  hi! 
former  life  with  his  mother  and  sis- 
ter, and  the  son  in  the  re-cnactmcni  of 
the  scenes.  It  is  a  good  pan  and  Met. 
calfe  was  well  chosen  for  it.  His  per. 
formance  is  excellent. 

William  Bloomficld.  the  least  ex- 
perienced member  ol  the  cast,  ap- 
pears onlv  in  the  part  of  the  play 
which  this  reviewer  considers  to  be 
the  weakest.  This  puts  him  at  some- 
what of  a  disadvantage.  The  action 
in  this  act,  and  especially  his  lines, 
seem  somewhat  uninspired.  In  spite 
of  thb  he  gives  a  compcieni  perform- 
ance, and  we  will  no  doubt  sec  more 
of  him   in   better  roles.

danger  with  his  lengthy  boots  and 
quick  thinking.  Ortel  proved  that 
though  he  was  switched  from 
the  backfield  which  he  played  in 
1950.  he  could  still  make  the  all-star 
d  as  a  lineman.  Doug  Tilley  not 
only  is  a  selection  on  this  Mason-

At  an  assembly  last  week,  Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson,  President, 
speaking  in  behalf  of  the  Administration  and  Far:ulty  of  Washington 
College,  outlined  a  program  wliich  has  been  adopted  in  reference  to 
'Academic  Honesty".  He  stated  that  it  was  the  responsibility  ol 
ihe  college  to  prepare  the  youih  ut 
today  lo  be  good  citizens  of  the  coiri. 
uiuniiy  tomorrow. 

He  liicd  the  so-called  "mink  coat" 
.•scandals,  basketball  fixes,  and  oilier 
like  moral  iransgrcssions  as  things 
which  the  colleges  and  universities  of 
itic  country  should  try  to  prevent  by 
taking  an  avowed  stand  against  an 
indiKeteiu  moral  atiiiudc. 
Policy  Stated 
.\  statement  of  policy,  which  was 
prepared  .by  the  .Administration  and 
Faculty,  was  di.iirJbuted  to  the  stu- 
dent body.     1[  .said: 

"In  th^  belief  that  the  colleges 
should  be  a  major  influence  in  dc- 
letmining  the  moral,  as  well  as  the 
intellectual  tone  of  our  society,  thai 
honesty  is  a  sine  qua  uon  of  an  en- 
lightened democracy,  and  thai  every 
educational  institution  must  take  a 
clear  and  unequivocil  stand  on  such 
an  issue,  the  Administration  and  Fac. 
ully  of  Washington  College,  on  Dc- 
cembet  12,  1951,  determined  to  dis- 
courage academic  dishonesty  by  every 
means  wiibin  its  power.  In  doing  so, 
it  recognizes  that  dishonesty  in  aca- 
demic circles  is  nation-wide;  ihat  most 
students  arc  opposed  to  it  in  practice 
and  in  principle;  and  4hai  in  simple 
justice  to  the  honest  students  those 
others  who  suctumb  to  temptation 
should  be  penalized  swiftly  and  justly. 
Cade  Enumerated 
"The  Administration  and  Faculty 
therefore  directs  the  Student-Faculty 
Committee  on  Discipline  to  operate 
under  the  following  code: 

(1)  .V  student  found  guilty  by  the 
Committee  on  cheating  on  one  of  his 
final  examinations  will  be  failed  in. 
that  course,  bui  be  allowed  to  com- 
plete any  examinations  not  yet  taken, 
and  receivK credit  for  other  courses, 
passed.  He  would  then  be  suspended, 
for  at  least   ihe  entire  next  semester, 

(2)  A  student  found  guilty  of  cheai~ 
ing  during  the  monih  of  a  semes- 
ter, but  prior  lo  the  final  examina. 
tions,  shall  lo5e  the  entire  semester's 
work  and,  in  .addition,  he  suspended 
from  the  College  for  ai  least  one 
monih.  In  some  instances,  this  suspen- 
sion would  run  into  the  following  se. 
mcstcr,  but  (under  a  month's  suspen- 
sion) noi  more  than  three  weeks,  since 
one  of  [he  four  weeks  would  have 
been  served  during  the  final  examina- 
tion period  of  the  semester  during 
li'hich  the  offense  occurred. 

(3)  .\  student  found  guilty  of  cheat- 
ing during  the  first  three  months  of  a 
semester  (prior  to  Christmas  in  the 
fall  semester,  and  prior  to  May  1  iu 
the  spring  semester)  shall,  as  a  min- 
imum penally,  lose  that  semester's 
work,  being  suspended  from  the  Col- 
lege for  the  remainder  of  the  semester. 

ri)  The  Cimmiiiee  on  Discipline 
will  be  responsible  for  determining 
guilt  or  innocence.  Once  a  student  is 
found  guilty,  however,  the  Commiitee 
is  bound  to  impose  the  minimum  pen- 
alty, ai  leasi.  Should  reasonable  doubt

making  n  impossible  for  ihe  Commit,

A  "GOOD  YEAR"— '52 

With  a  couple  of  weeks  already  slashed  out  of  '52,  we  find 
Washington  Collegians  off  to  a  whirl-wind  start  to  make  this  year 
a  "good  >'car."  The  college  males  returned  to  the  campus  with 
new  hopes  of  further  draft  exemption  and  the  girls  with  an  array 
of  cashmere  sweaters  that  would  make  the  Dutchess  of  Windsor 
take  note.  Considering  the  current  situation,  this  makes  for  a 
good  start! 

The  number  one  man  on  campus  greeted  the  new  year  with  a 
resolution  that  was  heartening  to  all  students.  The  policies  advanc- 
ed in  relation  to  Academic  Honesty  constituted  a  great  forward 
step  for  the  college  and  promise  to  provide  an  all-around  better  at- 
mosphere. We  remember  here  the  old  saying,  "learn  it  first  at 
home",  and  with  Chestertown  being  home  for  another  six  months, 
perhaps  we  can  set  an  example  for  a  great  many  other  people  to 
follow. 

Take  note  all  you  "undecideds."  Mr.  Foster  made  some  new 
year's  resolutions,  too!.  From  now  on  don't  sign  the  dotted  line  on 
that  schedule  for  classes  unless  you  are  sure.  New  school  policy 
issued  from  the  registrar's  office  does  not  permit  any  more  changes! 

With  the  numerous  promises  to  themselves  by  the  students,  a 
general  desire  by  ever>one  to  do  a  little  bit  better,  a  winning  bas- 
ketball team  and  lots  of  school  spirit,  wc  think  that  Washington 
College  has  really  put  her  best  foot  fonvard.  But  time  does  fly — so 
let's  take  it  from  here  and  make  it  a  "good  year." 


"SWAN  SONG" 

Due  to  the  unfortunate  financial  situation,  this  writer  must  pen 
his  farewell  message  in  an  issue  of  which  he  is  no  longer  Editor. 

Memories  are  always  predominate  in  one's  mind  as  the  final  se- 
mester of  a  college  career  rushes  to  a  close.  Dominating  in  mine 
is  my  association  with  the  Elm  over  the  last  three  and  a  half  years. 
The  past  semester  has  perhaps  been  the  peak, 

I  srnccrely  doubt  if  ever  a  person  inherited  such  a  competent 
staff.  To  all  those  who  worked  for  the  Elm  this  year  should  go 
many  praises.  If  there  is  anything  derogatorj^  the  blame  rests 
-squai^ly  on  the  shoulders  of  this  writer. 

And  so,  having  said  what  little  is  on  my  mind,  all  that  re- 
mains is  to  add: 

— to  my  staff,  thanks  for  a  "bang-up"  job  ....  from  the  bot- 
Ipm  of  my  heart. 

— lo  the  students,  thanks  for  your  interest  and  criticism. 

—to  the  faculty  and  administration,  thanks  for  guidance  and 
hrfp  SQ  so  many  ways.

Beginning      second      semester, 
choral    group'  of    Washington    College 
will    undergo    a    complete    reor 
tion.    This    change    has    been      made 
possible    through    ihe    fact    thai 
is    now    a    placement    on    the     regular 
academic  schedule.     As  it  wilt  be  run 
on   a   class  schedule  basis,  the  eleven- 
fifteen    class    period   on    Tuesday   has 
been  kept  open  for  this  purpose.  The 
credit  and  the  program  for  this  course 
will    be   as   described   in   the     college 
catalogue. 

It  ha.s  been  the  custom  for  the 
choral  group  to  meet  on  a  prescribed 
evening  during  Ihe  week;  however, 
it  conflicted  with  other  activities 
scheduled. 

Any  student  who  is  interested  in 
choral  work  b  encouraged  to  regbter 
for  the  class.  As  the  organization  be- 
comes complete,  many  specific  plans 
win  be  formulated  for  the  remainder 
of   the  school   year.

Scholarship  High  In 
College  Fraternities 


Information  has  been  received  by 
Dr.  Charles  B.  Clark,  Dean  of  Men 
and  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Fraternities,  that  Washington  College 
is  rated  second  in  the  country  among 
183  colleges  and  universities  in  fra- 
ternity scholarship  standings.  Ratings 
are  made  by  the  Scholarship  Commit- 
tee of  the  National  Interfraternity 
Conference. 

The  report  is  for  the  academic 
year  1949.1950.  Its  purpose  is  to  in- 
dicate the  scholarship  rating  of  fra- 
ternities in  comparison  with  the  all- 
men's  average.  At  Washington  Col- 
lege    the     fraternities   rated      15.68% 


even 
that 


above  the  all-men's  average, 
though  one  of  the  fraternities 
year  was  below  the  all-men's  average. 

Of  the  183  institutions  rated,  only 
62  had  fraternities  averaging  above 
the  all-men's  average.  Wayne  Uni- 
versity led,  with  a  21.12  percentage. 

Fraternity  men  down  through  the 
years  at  Washington  College  have 
done  better  academic  work  than  non. 
fraternity  men.  In  1950-1951,  for  ex- 
ample, figures  from  the  Registrar's 
OlTicc  show  the  All. fraternity  average 
to  be  1.509.  as  compared  to  the  all. 
men's  average  of  1.127. 


Senior  Of  . . . 
...The  Week 


May  wc  be  trite  just  one  more  time 
and  say  "good  things  come  in  small 
packages."  In  any  case,  when  it 
comes  lo  Jim  Trader,  who  doesn't 
idmit  to  being  any  heavyweight,  the 
laying  holds   true. 

Jim.  claiming 
"right  outside 
Ocean  City"  as 
his  home  (Ber. 
lin,  Md.)  says 
his  life  has  been 
full  of  surprises, 
but  he  wouldn't 
say  what  they 
verc.  We  do 
know  one  thing.  He's  a  hard  worker, 
.^s  editor  of  the  Pegasus,  Jim  finds 
himself  in  the  yearbook  office  about 
half  of  the  time.  His  only  complaint 
pictures,  which  have  a  nasty  habit 
of  disappearing  just  before  he  is  sup- 
posed to  send  the  copy  out,  He  does 
hope  to  have  a  yearbook  for  students 
by    M.iy,   however. 

Besides  the  publication  activities, 
Jin  is  secretary  of  Lambda  Chi  Al- 
pha, which  he  joined  in  his  freshman 
year,  newly-elected  vice-pnsident  of 
ODK,  and  president  of  Future  Teachers 
of  -America.  He  is  also  a  member  of 
the  Lacrosse  team,  advancing  from 
3ger  lo  the  posi- 
tion   of    aitackman. 

Jim's  future  plans,  as  most,  include 

stint   with   "Uncle  Sam."   Preferably 

the  Air  Force.  After  that  ....  he 

ys    it's  a   long  way  oft  and  he  can't 

quite  make  up  his  mind.

imposed  because  of  doubt.  Guilt  must 
be  agreed  upon  before  any  penalty 
may  result, 

(5)  It  was  also  understood  by  the 
Committee  that  a  second  offense  would 
lead  to  permanent  expulsion  from  the 
College." 

Clark  Kfaltes  Comment 
Dr.  Charles   B.  Clark,  Dean  of  Men 
and    Chairman    of    the      Disciplii 
Committee,   made   the  following   c 
ment: 

"In  the  post-war  period  it  has  been 
most  dilhcult  meeting  the  problem 
academic  dishonesty.  As  Chairman  of 
the  Disciplinary  Committee  I 
say  that  it  is  gratifying  indeed 
hat  the  Faculty  and  Adr 
btration  as  expected,  have  takci 
definite  stand  on  the  matter.  Even 
more  gratifying,  perhaps,  is  the  general 
ipproval  by  the  student  body.  Where- 
s,  it  is  true  that  no  policy  is  with- 
out flaw,  I  sincerely  believe  the  new 
policy  will  promote  the  best  interest 
of  the  C»>llcge  and  everyone  connect. 
cd  with  it.  The  success  of  the  new 
program  will  depend  upon  the  co. 
operation  of  everyone.  Let  us  be 
able  to  say  that  our  academic  integri- 
ty at  Washington  College  b  beyond 
question."

Ray  Wood  On  First  Team  All- American 


Court  Gapers 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 

(Sports  Editor) 


Greyhounds  Invade  Shore 

When  the  Loyola  College  courtmcn  take  the  floor  against  Ed 
Athey's  pentagon  tomorrow  night  at  the  Chestertown  Armory, 
it  will  be  the  68th  annual  meeting  of  these  two  age  old  rival; 

"Lefty"  Reitz,  who  is  beginning  his  fourteenth  year  as  basket- 
ball coach  at  Loyola  College,  has  built  his  squad  around  five  vet- 
erans and  a  large  number  of  sophomores  who  have  advanced  from 
last  year's  freshman  team.  The  Green  and  Gray  won  12  and  lost 
17  contests  last  year,  meeting  such  outstanding  teams  as,  North 
Carolina  State,  La  Sallc,  Villanova,  Scton  Hall  and  Georgetown. 

The  five  returning  lettermen  who  contributed  to  two  wins 
over  the  Shoremen   {57  to  43  and  59  to  57)   last  season,  include: 


Ben  Cook,  a  6'  8"  center,  who  came  into  his  own  as  the  season  T'^':'"''''  ^^-^^ 

and  G.l.  No.  1 
I'oxwcll,    G.    I, 


progressed;  Ed  Kowalewski,  a  work  horse  guard,  who  is  rugged 
under  the  boards  and  who  was  an  All-Maryland  luml  l- 
playing  with  Patterson  Park  High;  "Reds"  Schneider,  diminutive 
Hound  floor  general  and  captain  of  this  year's  squad;  "Nap"  Doher- 
ty,  leading  point  producer  of  last  year's  campaign;  and  Ed  Kelly, 
a  6'   1"  Junior,  who  possesses  keen  reflexes  and  court  know-how. 

The  Sophomores  who  have  moved  up  to  varsity  ranks  from 
the  Green  and  Gray  Freshman  squad  include:  Joe  Lacy,  Jim  Si 
del,  Charlie  Metz,  John  Benzing,  Terry  Ahcarn,  Tony  Pistorio  and 
Joel  Hittleman.  The  latter  was  the  1950-51  Freshman  scoring  lead- 
er.  Heading  the  list  of  newcomers  to  the  team  are  Jerry  Chad- 
wick,  6'5"  Freshman  luminary,  and  Bob  Cucuel,  a  steady  hardwood 
performer. 

Of  particular  interest  to  the  spectators  who  are  from  Haiti 
more  is  the  fact  that  McDonough's  high  school  AIl-Amcrican  rep. 
resentative,  Charlie  McCullough,  is  one  of  Loyola's  biggest  assets 
from  the  ranks  of  the  newcomers.  McCullough  is  playing  his  first 
season  of  college  ball  after  leaving  McDonough,  where  he  was 
hailed  as  the  greatest  basketball  player  ever  to  graduate.  The 
6'7"  scoring  sensation  has  proven  his  abilities  in  the  Greyhound's 
early  outings  and,  in  all  probability,  will  sec  a  lot  of  action  tomor- 
row night. 

This  will  be  the  Hounds'  second  Mason-Dixon  game.  They  de- 
feated Baltimore  U.  in  their  opener  of  M-D  play.

It  was  announced  by  the  National 
Collegiate  Athleiic  Buieau  (inclusi' 
December  29,)  that  Nick  Scallion  was 
placed  10th  in  the  list  of  individual 
small  college  scoring  leaders  of  the 
country  with  a  21-point  average  for 
3  games.  The  Hazelton  ate  raised 
this  average  to  22.5  lor  four  games,  as 
he  tallied  27  points  against  West  Ches- 
ter last  Saturday. 

In  the  rebound  department,  Jim 
Taylor  was  ranked  8ih  with  a  14.3  av- 
erages for  3  games.  However,  his  re- 
bound mark  will  undoubtedly 
<lue  to  his  fine  performance  against 
the  Rams.

Last  week  Coach  Ed  Athcy  recci 
a  letter  from  the  Dciroit  Lions  of  the 
National  Football  League,  announcing 
that  two  of  Washington  College's  .Ml- 
American  football  players  (Ted  Holzk. 
necht  and  Mugli  McElhenny)  liave  been 
considered  as  Nafl  Football  League 
draft  choices?  However,  Coach  Athcy 
forwarded  the  letter  to  Washington 
State  College  where  the  two  men  were 
gridiron  standouts  during  the  past 
season. 

Wayne  Milncr,  former  Shore  grid, 
'ron  and  lacrosse  star,  who  transferred 
'o  Daltimorc  University  last  semcs-

team,  dealt  the  Shoremen  a  severe 
blow  as  he  scored  G  consecutive  points.

Coach  Howie  Ncsbitt,  director  of  the 
intramural  basketball  league,  has  re 
ported  that  the  present  three-way  I  t

Chestertown,   Md.  Phone   745 


Avenging  their  two  defeats  at  the 
hands  of  West  Chester  State  Teach, 
ers"  College  la.si  season,  the  Maroon 
and  Black  scored  a  75  to  72  court  vic- 
tory over,  the  Rams  last  Saturday 
night  in  the  Chestertown  Armory,  as 
Nick  Scallion  and  Jim  Taylor  ac- 
counted for  47  points  between  them. 
Washington  jumped  to  a  22  to  14 
fust  quarter  lead,  using  a  two-onc-two 
zone  defense  and  an  effective  fast 
break.  They  saw  iheir  41  lo  35  half- 
time  lead  shattered  in  the  third  period 
as  the  visitors  rallied  to  tie  it  up, 
rj9-all  as  the  quarter  ended. 

Three  \\'est  Chester  men  sparked 
the  visitors'  rally:  Sheldon  Saflran, 
Ralph    Blessing  and   Earl    Vass. 

The  lead  changed  hands  four  times 
in  the  last  quarter.  The  Sho'men  gain- 
ed a  75.72  lead  with  two  minutes  o( 
playing  time  remaining,  then  froze  the 
ball   until   the  final  gun. 

Highlighting  the  first  quarter  of 
play  was  an  8-point  splurge  by  the 
Maroon  and  Black  which  bafiled  the 
Ram  defense.  Danny  Samele  swished 
three  consecutive  field  goals,  and  Nick, 
one,  as  West  Chester  fell  behind  23-14 
as   the  quarter   terminated. 

Kenney  Sullivan  took  the  reigns  in 
the  second  ijuaricr  as  he  dropped  in 

I  smoothly  executed  sets.  "Moosi 
Nazigan,  who  racked  up   17  points  i 
the   first   half  and   a   total   of  25   fi 
the  evening,  kept  the  Teachers  in  the 
game  with   his  inside  shots  and  back- 
board   ability. 

Blessing,  Vass.  and  SafTran  combined 
their  efforts  to  knot  the  count  43-aH 
in  the  beginning  of  the  third  stanza, 
and  although  the  lead  changed  hands 
three  times  in  this  quarter,  the  score 
remained  tied  at  the  outset  of  the 
nal  period. 

It  was  a  nip  and  luck  battle 
the  final  quarter.  Jim  Taylor,  who  ac- 
counted for  a  total  of  19  rebounds 
during  the  evening,  went  on  a  G.poini 
scoring  spree  to  pull  his  team  out  of 
the  slump.  The  addition  of  Scalli 
deadly  onc.hand  shots,  plus  the  fact 
that  Blessing  and  SafTran  had  fouled 
out,  enabled  the  Chestertown  team  ic 
retain  their  lead.  The  West  Chestei 
squad  vainly  attempted  to  steal  the 
ball  in  the  fading  moments  of  play, 
but  the  calm  maneuvers  of  the  Shore- 
men in  freezing  the  ball,  forced  the 
isitors  to  succumb.

Ray  Wood,  outstanding  aitackman 
for  Washington  College,  and  Harry 
Kribcrnagel,  stellar  defenseman  for 
the  Shore  eleven,  were  recently  nam. 
ed  to  the  official  AlUAmerica  La. 
Crosse  Squad.  The  honor  was  accord, 
cd  the  two  athletes  at  the  United 
Stales  Intercollegiate  Lacrosse  Associ. 
ation   meeting  in    New   York.  Dec.   15. 

Wood,  who  was  placed  on  the  first 
team,  is  the  first  Washington  College 
player  to  ever  make  the  olTicial  All. 
\  nerica  team.  The  official  team  is  se. 
ccted  by  the  Association.  To  be  cligi. 
I  ie  for  the  team,  a  player  must  be  on 
a  team  whose  college  is  a  member  ol 

I  c  Association.    At  the  present  lime, 

I I  Association  has  over  forty  mem. 
f  trs,  including  the  top  teams  of  the 
e  untry.  There  are,  however,  approx. 
imatcly    thirty  other   teams  which   arc 

I   members. 

Kabernagel,   first   string  defenseman 

the   Clarkmen   the   last   four   sea. 
L,  was  honored  by  being  named  to 

third    team. 


Commenting  upon  the  great  hon. 
or  conferred  upon  Wood.  Coach 
Charley  Clark  made  the  following 
statement;  ''Wood's  recognition  should 
be  an  inspiration  to  his  team-mates 
still  in  College  and  to  the  other  La- 
crosse players  to  come.  Arriving  here 
with  practically  no  Lacrosse  back. 
ground,  Ray,  by  hard  work  combined 
with  natural  skill,  reached  the  lop, 
He  was  both  a  'players  player"  and  a 
coach's  player,'  always  getting  along 
well  with  leam-maies,  and  never  once 
acting  like  a  prima  donna,  and  at 
II  times  being  receptive  to  coaching 
nstruciions  and  putting  forth  his 
est  effons.  He  had  to  be  better  than 
normally  good  to  win  this  recognition 
from  a  small  college.  I  think  he  is 
still  developing  and  will  become  a 
greater  star  in   club   Lacrosse." 

Wood  racked  up  188  goals  in  four 
yt^irs  of  play  at  ^\'ashingIon  College 
for  a  record.making  total.  He  was  ihe 
nation's  highest  scorer  for  two  of  the 
four  years  as  a  member  of  the  Shore 
Squad,  and  led  the  State  of  Maryland 
for    four  years. 

Some  olficial  doubt  had  been  ex. 
pressed  about  Wood's  AlUAmerica 
calibre  prior  to  the  '51  season.  Most 
of  his  scoring  had  been  done  against 
teams  in  Washington  College's  class. 
U'oodie"  proved  beyond  a  shadoir 
of  a  doubt  that  he  had  the  ability, 
denting  the  net  for  numerous  tallies 
against  such  formidable  foes  as  Navy, 
Duke,  Maryland,  Hopkins,  Virginia, 
and  Mount  U'ashington,  perennial 
Open    Champions. 

Wood  scored  three  goals  in  the 
North-South  game  in  New  York  last 
year.  This  accomplishment  just  about 
clinched  his  being  chosen  for  All. 
America  honors.

ON  EXTRA  CURRICULAR  ACTIVITIES 

The  other  evening,  while  I  was  reading  the  Alumni  Bulletin, 
[  happened  to  notice  an  article  by  Dr.  Clark  which  gave  some  of 
the  results  of  the  student  interest  poll  tal;en  at  the  beginning  of 
the  year.  This  poll  dealt  in  part  u-ith  the  indicated  interests  of  the 
students  in  the  various  cxtra-currinilar  organizations  on  campus  and, 
I  thought,  some  of  tlie  figtiits  arc  mther  interesting.  For  example, 
I  noticed  that  ninely-lhree  students  expiessed  interest  in  religious 
organizations,  nlnet)'  in  the  Washington  Players,  seventy-nine  in  the 
Forensic  Society,  seventy-eight  in  college  journalism,  sixty-six  in  the 
Science  Club,  forty-four  in  the  Mt.  Vernon  Literary  Society,  and 
soil  on. 

It  would  appear  that  a  majority  of  those  students  who  indi- 
cated their  interests  must  have  been  indicating  passing  interests  or. 
at  best,  vague  interests,  for  the  organizations  on  campus  certainly 

.do  not   have  enrollments   which    match    the   above   figures.    Even 

-worse  is  the  fact  that  a  majority  of  those  students  who  do  join  one 
or  more  organizations  st-em  to  join  solely  for  the  purpose  of  saying 
that   they  belong  to  such-and-such   a   gioup.   for   they  contribute 

^one  of  their  time  or  ideas. 

It  must  also  be  fairly  obvious,  ev:-!!  to  non-membei^s,  that  most 

tof  th?  work  in  most  of  our  organizations  is  being  done  by  a  handful 
of  the  people.  This  system  works  out  fairly  well  when  v/e  have  a 
situation  where  the  workers  of  an  organization  present  programs 
which  are  of  enough  interest  to  the  members,  or,  better  yet,  to  a 
substantial  segment  of  the  student  body,  that  a  sizeable  turnout  is 

.iBalized.  Too  often,  however,  this  condition   does  not  exLst.   One 

.finds  that  there  exists  several  groups  which  seem  to  accomplish 
absolutely  nothing.  Either  they  have  leaders  who  cannot  think  of 
worthwhile  programs,  or  they  cannot  build  up  interest  among  the 
biembcrs  in  working  toward  worthwhile  goals,  or  else  the  group 
as  a  whole  is  interested  in  meeting  only  so  that  they  can  say  that 
they  met  and  not  because  they  are  actually  interested  in  carrying 
out  the  stated  purposes  of  their  organization. 

It  is  true  that  there  are  some  people  ^'ho,  although  interested 
in  vaiious  extra-curricular  activities,  must  devote  most  of  their  time 
to  keeping  their  grades  up  to  passing  and  these  people  should  not 
be  encouraged  to  spend  too  much  time  on  extra  rurriculars.  Most 
<jf  the  students,  ho%%evcr,  do  not  fall  into  this  class  and,  if  they 
are  interested  in  the  Forensic  Society,  or  the  Elm,  or  the  Mt.  Vernon 

Xiterary  Society,  or  what  have  you.  why  don't  they  come  out  and 
join.  I  don't  know  of  any  group  which  \',*ou!d  refuse  anyone  who 
expressed  a  real  interest.  Every  organization  can  use  new  blood  and 
most  of  them  are  vitally  in  need  of  members  who  are  willing  to  go 
ahead  and  plan  programs,  take  part  in  pmgrams,  and  build  up 
^student  interest  in  their  acli\'ities, 

I  personally  feel  that  we  have  too  many  organizations  at  Wash- 
in^on  College  and  that  many  of  them  should  either  fold  up  or 
else  combine  with  another  similar  group.  It  is  quite  possible,  ho' 
ever,  that  each  group  has  a  perfectly  logical  reason  for  existing. 
If  so,  let's^  hear  from  them  once  in  awhile.  Let's  be  made  aware 
that  die  'Royal  Chowder  and  Marching  Sociel/'  actually  docs  meet 
and  actually  does  have  programs  and  actually  does  have  a  purpose 
2md  is  not  dead  on  its  feet  rather  than  the  usual  "j"hn  Doe 
i—rpptly  awarded  a  student  ?-ctiv!ti'-s  plaque  for  being  president  of 
^oya!  Chowder  and  Marching  Sc.'ety,  the  Reunited  Relatives  of 
Rock  Hall,  and  vice  president  of  the  Future  Physicists,"  which  is 
•too  often  the  only  njcntion  made  of  m;my  L-xtra-curricular  group'

Senior  Of  . . . 
...The  Week 


JAMES  C.  HAEBEL— Jim  is  our 
ranking  naval  officer  among  the  stud- 
ent body,  having  received  his  Ensign's 
commission  last  spring.  He  entered 
the  Navy  in  1943  and  spent  most  of 
his  active  time  as  medical  corpsman 
abord  the  hospital  ship,  "U.S.S.  Tran- 
quility". After  his  discharge,  in  1947, 
he  decided  to  come  to  W.  C.  and 
entered  in  February  of  1949.  Since 
that  time  he  has  established  himself 
as  one  of  the  most  active  leaders  of  the 
campus  and  has  also  maintained  a  well 
above  average  scholastic  record.  Al- 
ways interested  in  debate  and  public 
speaking,  Jim  has  been  a  mainstay 
of  the  Forensic  Society  since  coming 
to  Washington  College.  Last  year  he 
w.is  Vice-President  of  the  group  and 
this  year  he  was  elected  to  serve  as 
its  President.  In  addition  to  Forensics, 
Jim  has  also  taken  an  active  part  in 
the  Science  Club,  the  Players  and 
the  Newman  Society".  We  will  all  be 
sorry  to  see  him  leave  us  and  we 
wish  him  the  best  of  luck  in  pursuing 
a  career  with  the  Federal  Bureau  of 
Investigation.

PHYL  &EITZ— The  Players  be-

actually  do  for  the  benefit  of  the 
whole   campus. 

JACK  SMITH— All  organizations 
arc  important — each  individual  has 
his  own  choice. 

CHUCK  WAESCHE— ODK  is  be- 
cause it  takes  care  of  most  matters 
that  are  important  such  as  money 
matters — serves  in  place  of  student 
government. 

A,  J.  CARR  — The  Washington 
Players — because  it's  representative  of 
all  students  and  ever>'one  has  some- 
thing to  do,  everj'one  has  a  part  to 
play:  everyone  can  at  least  enjoy  its 
results. 

TOM  HOFSTETTER— An  organi- 
zation of  a  religious  nature.  On  the 
non  sectarian  campus,  some  religious 
emphasis  should  be  av.iilablc.  Effective 
religious  groups  benefit  the  otherwise 
stagnant  rclii?ious   individual. 

AL  VINYARD— It  would  be  diffi- 
cult to  say  which  organization  is  the 
most  important  on  campus.  An  organ- 
ization is  as  good  as  the  purpo.sc 
which  it  accomplishes.  On  this  campus 

ic    purpose    of    organizations    is    not 

Iways  clear,  therefore,  the  worth  of 
them  would  be  in  doubt.  It's  a  matter 
of  personal  opinion,  so  take  your 
hoice.  -- 

A.  J.  FOX — That's  a  good  question. 

HELEN  MICHAEL—I  don't  think 
that  you  can  say  that  any  organiza- 
is  the  most  important.  Any  or- 
Kanization  is  important  if  it  helps  to 
broaden  the  lives  of  its  members  or 
do  something  worthwhile  for  some- 
one. Since  all  the  organizations  on 
campus  tend  to  do  this,  I  believe 
that  they  arc  all  equally  important, 
MARY  LEE  LINCOLN  — I  feel 
that  all  the  organizations  are  import- 
ant in  broadening  our  college  life. 
They  give  extra  fields  of  interest  to 
the  individual  that  cannot  necessarily 
be  gained  in  the  classroom. 


"Festered 
Lilies^' 

by  Thomas  H.  Lowe 
William  Shakespeare  once  wrote  a 
sonnet  on  those  who  retain  within 
themselves  damaging  knowledge  or 
opinions.  He  refers  to  these  as  "Lilies 
that  fester",  and  you  all  know  how 
tank  a  slinking  flower  can  be.  Hence- 
forth this  column  will  be  devoted  to 
rejuvenating  the  fragrance  of  a  few 
Festered  Lilies"  on  campus.  You 
know  what  one  docs  to  put  new  life 
in  a  dying  flower — covers  it  with  fer- 
tilizer. And  you  all  know  what  fertil- 
izer is.  Well,  it  takes  a  little  of  that 
stuff  to  make  a  flower  smell  sweet, 
column  will  act  in  the  same 
capacity.  It  may  not  smell  too  sweet 
but  perhaps  the  eventual  outcome  will 
Id  to  the  fragrance  of  campus  life. 
It  would  appear  that  the  emphasis 
is  week  on  the  feature  page  is  upon 
campus  organizations,  so  let's  begin 
with  them.  One  of  the  most  ridiculous 
set  of  clubs  (in  my  estimation  mind 
you)  on  thC'  campus  is  the  religious 
groups.  Here  we  have  a  club  organized 
get  its  members  to  go  to  another 
organization — a  church.  1  he  logical 
follow  up  would  be  a  primer  or  pre- 
religious  club  to  interest  you  in  the 
iligious  club  to  teach  you  about, 
and  thereby  keep  your  interest  in  a 
Well  who  cares  as  long  as 
it  gives  points  for  ODK? 

this  leads  us  to  another  question. 
Most  of  the  clubs  on  the  campus  that 
accused  of  being  dormant  were 
begun  .  by  interested  students  with 
good  intentions.  Now  they  have  be- 
■  one  rung  of  a  ladder  for  ODK 
Who's  Who".  After  a  "striker" 
gets  his  office  he  (or  she)  does  not 
particularly  give  a  damn  whether  the 
club  plants  trees,  sings  songs  or  goes 
prayer  meetings.  The  membership 
most  of  the  clubs  is  so  depleted 
[hat  if  1  was  to  give  an  example  I 
outd  be  accused  of  attacking  indi- 
duals.  However  here's  an  example 
from  past  years.  The  "Movie  Club", 
now  defunct,  had  three  members — 
idcnt.  and  the  other  two 
^ice-President  and  Sec-Treas,.  respect- 
ively. If  they  could  only  have  gotten 
another  niembcr  there  wouldn't  have 
been  such  a  scrain  on  the  Sec-Treas. 
They  could  have  split  the  plums. 
There  arc  still  groups  on  the  campus 
nith  two  of  three  Vice-Presidents  and 
J  chairman  or  so,  ODK  has  a  problem 
in  deciding  which  Vice-President  gels 
ihe  points.  ^Vith  this  congjameration 
of  clubs  we'd  best  get  a  tew  more 
honorary  societies  here  lo  compensate 
the    thwarted    olhcers. 

So  here  is  the  secret  of  a  successful 
campus  leader.  If  you  can't  get  elected 
to  enough  offices  in  your  first  two 
years  ticrc,  start  a  few  more  clubs 
of  your  own.  A  charter  member  of  a 
campus  group  should  be  worth  a  few 
points   toward    ODK  even    if  you  still 


get 


office.

Courtmen  Gunning  For  Play  of f  Berth 


Court  Capers 


By  Ells^vorth  Boyd 

(Sports  Editor) 


Three  weeks  ago,  when  the  Sho'men  invaded  the  Western 
Shore  and  returned  wth  an  80-63  victory  over  Bahimore  U.,  they 
also  brought  back  the  results  of  a  poll  taken  in  downtown  Baltimore. 

Seems  like  Scallion,  Smitty,  Samele,  Hesse  and  Bergen  were 
let  out  of  their  cages  to  wander  the  streets  of  the  metropolis  before 
the  big  game  that  night.  Picking  up  the  sports  section  of  the  Sun- 
paper,  they  saw  in  big  black  letters,  "Scallion  Leads  Shoremen  in 
Hardwood  Duel  Tonight!" 

They  all  turned  toward  Nick,  who  was  beaming  like  a  kid 
who  had  just  been  to  a  circus.  "So  you  think  you're  famous,  eh?" 
questioned  Smitty.  "Wcl,  we'll  ask  ten  Baltimoreans  if  they  know 
you,  and  if  five  of  them  do,  I'll  see  to  it  that  the  imprints  of  your 
feet  are  placed  in  the  cement  in  front  of  the  Hippodrome  theatre!" 

Hesse  stopped  a  policeman  and  asked,  "Do  you  know  Nick 
Scallion?"  "Yeah!"  replied  the  cop,  "he  directs  traffic  at  Baltimore 
and  Calvert."  Bergen  stopped  a  street  cleaner  and  asked,  "Do  you 
know  Nick  Scallion?"  "Ain't  he  the  comedian  at  the  gayety?" 
replied  the  old  man. 

As  Nick  pulled  his  hat  further  down  over  his  face,  Danny 
suggested  they  enter  the  May  Co.  as  he  had,  "never  been  in  a 
skyscraper  before!"  Smitty  approached  one  of  the  clerks  and  inquired, 
"Do  you  know  Nick  Scallion?"  "Of  course"  she  answered,  "he's 
the  floorwalker  in  the  basement."  As  they  rode  the  elevator  to  the 
cafeteria,  the  question  was  posed  to  a  housewife.  She  replied,  '"I 
see  Nick  ScalHon  every  night  on  television.  He  is  the  baldheaded 
roan  who  has  that  sports  program." 

As  the  quintet  reached  the  4th  floor,  Nick  turned  toward  the 
elevator  girl,  and  asked  in  a  sweet,  soft  voice,  "Do  you  know  who 
I  am?"  "Get  away  from  me  you  fresh  thing!"  she  exclaimed. 
"Youse  guys  use  anything  for  a  line  nowadays."  They  all  ran  to 
the  cafeteria. 

They  sat  down  to  eat  and  George  looked  up  at  Smitty  and 
intellectually  spoke,  "I  don't  think  many  people  know  Nick."  The 
proverbial  question  was  placed  before  the  waitress.  She  replied, 
"Nick  Scallion  is  that  poor  old  colored  man  who  sings  for  pennies 
out  on    Howard   Street." 

"What  do  you  have  on  the  menu  for  today?"  asked  Danny 
"Rhubarb,  roast  beef,  rib  roast  and  radishes."  replied  the  waitress 
"Boy,  you  certainly  roll  your  r's  don't  you?"  questioned  Dan.  "Yeah," 
said  the  waitress,  "it's  these  high  heel  I'm  wearing!" 

As  they  left  the  revolving  portals  of  the  May  Co.,  Bergen 
tapped  a  man  on  the  shoulder  and  asked,  "Do  you  perchance  know 
who  Nick  Scallion  is?"  "I  sho'  duz"  he  answered.  "He's  de  best 
basketball  player  dat  Mogan  College  ever  haxl!" 

No,  Nick  did  not  have  his  foot  prints  placed  in  the  cement  in 
front  of  the  Hippodrome,  but  if  you  look  at  the  bill  board  in  front 
of  the  movie,  you'll  find  these  words  initialed  in  the  woodwork, 
"Nifty    Nick    was    liere."

Sting  Jackets 


Washington  outscorcd  its  opponents 
27  to  13  in  the  third  quarter  of  last 
Saturday's  hardwood  skirmish  to  upset 
the  Randolph-Macon  Yellow  Jackets, 
69-58,   at    the    Chcstertown    Armory. 

Four  players  of  the  home  team 
hit  double  figures,  Nick  Scallion,  Jim 
Taylor,  Dan  Samele  and  Kenny  Sulli- 
van with  22,  15,  14,  and  II  respect- 
ively. Jack  Whitcomb  of  the  visitors 
scored  20  markers,  aided  by  "Red" 
Cohn  with  13  and  George  Pcndcrgraft 
with    11. 

Visitors  Lead  at  Half 

The  score  was  tied  three  times  in 
the  first  quarter  at  4-4,  6-6  and  15-15, 
as  Jack  Kccfy  led  the  Jackets  to  a 
16-16  first  period  lead,  Samele  and 
Scallion  k>-pt  the  home  team  in  the 
contft,  accountit^  for  12  of  the  15 
points. 

7hf  Southerners  grabbed  a  6  point 
I'ad,  but  this  was  soon  trimmed 
down  as  Ken  Sullivan  and  Jim  Taylor 
conlrollid  the  backboards.  With  Whit- 
comb leading  the  vsay,  the  Blue  and 
Gold  left  the  floor  at  halftimc  with 
a  on--point  advantage,  30-29. 
Third  Quarter  Rally 

Taylor,  knotted  eight  markers  in 
the  third  period  and  Sully  and  Sam- 
ele contributed  with  smoothly  executed 
sets,  to  forge  ahead  51-41.  Sullivan 
concluded  the  third  quarter  with  a 
long  range  set  shot  in  the  final  sec- 
onds of  play,  to  give  the  Sho'men 
a  56-43  lead. 

The  Yellow  Jackets  desperately  at- 
tempted   to    thwart   the    Maroon    and 
Black    scoring    spree   by   setting   u 
full   court  press.  However,  Whitcomb 
and  Cohn  fouled  out  midway  in  t 
fourth    period    and    the    visitors    wi 
no   loncer   a   strong  scoring   tnrcat. 


King's  Bows 


Washington  College  won  its  most 
decisive  victory  of  the  current  basket- 
ball campaign,  at  mid-semester,  by 
trouncing  King's  College  of  Dtlav 
to  the  tune  of  85  to  46. 

The  Maroon  and  Black  were  never 
thn-aienrd  by  the  home  team, 
lanky  Jim  Taylor  led  the  way  with 
a  ;5  point  total  for  the  contest.  Al- 
ihoush  Nick  Scallion  was  ailing  and 
unable  to  play,  Danny  Samele  and 
jack  Bergen  netted  13  and  14  points 
respectively,  to  add  to  the  Sho'  scor- 
ing strength. 

The  Chesienown  squad  jumped  to 
a  26-15  first  quarter  lead  and  in- 
creased this  to  -15-27  by  the  half. 
Hard  driving  George  Hesse  came  into 
his  own  in  this  contest  as  he  garnered 
5  points  while  setting  up  innumer- 
able scores  for  his  team  mates.  5ill 
Bowser  of  the  losers  scored  30  points 
to  top  the  individual  scoring  for  the 
afternoon,  but  his  efforts  were  in  vain 
against    the    superior    Shore    forces. 


Sho'men  Edge

Washington  College  outfoiighr  a 
determined  Johns  Hopkins  hardwood

lead  at  the  outset  of  the  third  quarter 
the  home  team  rallied  to  within 
3  points  ai  66^69.  It  was  Bemie  Rudn 
who  scored  the  final  Shu'  go;»I,  shortly 
followed  by  a  foul  and  a  one-hand 
piuh  shot  by  John  Gipe  of  Hopkins 
which  placed  the  Jays  one  point  be- 
hind   as    the    final    buucr    sounded. 

The  Atheyroen  led  at  the  conclusion  , 


Washington 
Upsets  Balto. 


Washington  College  handed  an  80. 
63  defeat  to  the  Baltimore  U.  cagen 
in  a  hotly  contested  affair  which 
played   on    the    Bees'   home    floor. 

Paced  by  high-scoring  Nick  Scall- 
ion, the  Shoremen  got  the  jump  in 
the  contest  from  the  beginning  and 
while  pressed  closely  several  times 
managed  to  hang  on  to  the  finish. 
Scallion  Hits  Average 

Scallion's    22    points   were    right 
stride    with    his    season's    average    of 
22.7.  The  Shore  ace  was  ably  backed 
up  in  the  cord  parting  by  Dan  Samele 
who    added    19    points   to    the    total. 

For  the  Bees,  Murray  was  the  top 
scorer  of  the  evening  with  25  points 
as  he  racked  up  !0  field  goals  and 
sank    half    of    his    10    free    throws. 

The  Bees  trailed  by  five  points 

the    quarter    and    despite    their    best 

efforts  faded  back  another  five  points 

and   were  ten  down  at  the   haJf. 

Bees  Increase  Pace 

Followinc;  ihc  rest  period  the  Beci 
increased  their  pace  but  found  tht 
Shoremen  able  to  maintain  their  edge 
as  Scallion  and  Samele  led  the  attack. 

The  finale  was  the  hottest  period 
of  the  evening  with  the  teams  trading 
basket  for  basket. 

Jack  Bergen  and  Kenny  Sullivan 
were  main  cogs  in  the  Sho'  offense 
with  10  and  8  points  respectively. 
Elongated  Jim  Taylor,  not  only  played 
exceptionally  well  ofT  the  boards,  but 
managed  to  drop  in  9  markers. 


Va.  Quints 
Down  Sho'men 


Washington's  hardwood  quintet  was 
unsuccessful  on  its  tour  through  Bridge- 
water  and  Salem,  Va.,  at  mid-sem- 
ester, as  the  Shoremen  dropped  two 
hardly  fought  contests  to  Bridgcwater 
and  Roanoke  Colleges. 

Bridgcwater  scored  its  6th  Mason- 
Dwon  Conference  victory  as  it  downed 
the  Maroon  and  Black,  67  to  62, 
Billy  Burkholder,  who  scored  29  points 
for  the  home  team,  once  again  led

No    Consistency' 

For  the  losers,  "Nifty  Nick"  drop- 
ped in  22  points  as  forward  Jack 
Bergen  followed  closely  with  20.  The 
rem.-under  of  the  team  was  incon- 
sistent  in   the  scoring   column. 

Diminuitive  Tony  Proitti  and  lanky 
Karl  Kurmncr  flipped  in  12  points 
apiece  to  pace  the  Roanoke  basket-

Aspirants  for  the  1952  Washington 
College  Lacrosse  team  began  spring 
work  on  Wednesday  of  this  week, 
following  an  organizational  meting 
and  the  issuance  of  equipment  on  the 
day  before.  Except  for  members  of 
the  squad  who  arc  basketball  players, 
all  hands  are  at  work. 

Coach  Charley  Clark  pointed  out 
that  five  regul.irs  of  1951  are  missing 
due  to  graduation  and  that  two  alter- 
natinc  midfielders  —  Wavne  Millncr, 
who  transferred  to  Baltimore  U,,  and 
Doug  Fox,  who  has  not  yet  reported 
for  practice,  are  missing.  First-string  , 
holdovers  from  1951  are  Captain 
Graeme  Meniies  and  Larry  Leonard; 
B-rnic  Rudo  and  John  Grim,  mid- 
fielders; Bill  Bonnet  and  Bob  Jack-

The  controversial  question  of  Universal  Military  Training,  now  on  the  floor  of  the  United  State? 
House  of  Representatives  reached  WiHiam  Smith  Auditorium  last  Wednesday  night  in  the  form  of  a 
panel  discussion.  Led  by  Dr.  Charles  B.  Clark,  who  acted  as  moderator,  the  panel,  composed  of 
two  professors  and  two  senior  men,  weighed  pro  and  con  eight  specific  questions  concerning  U.M.T, 
Despite  the  fact  that  the  bill  is  predicted  to  pass  in  both  houses  of  Congress,  and  that  panel  mem- 
bers Jim  Haebel  and  Tom  Lowe  advocated  the  proposal  as  students,  the  professors,  Edward  Ander- 
son and  Peter  Jonitis,  seemed  to  gain  the  favor  of  the  student  audience  with  a  stand  against  U.M.T. 

■^Their  main  point  centered  on  the 
ic  problems  involved,  that  it 
would  be  much  more  worthwhile  to 
pend  the  money  that  would  go  (o 
U.M.T,  for  bettering  ihc  U.S.  do. 
mesticaily. 

The  first  question  posed  to  the  pan- 
el by  the  moderator  was:  Will  U.M.T, 
give  Us  more  security  in  facing  world 
situations  today?  This  brought  out 
the  sides  to  be  taken  for  the  rest  ol 
the  discussion  from  the  answers  giv- 
en by  the  professors  and  the  students. 
The  possible  militarism  caused  tiy 
U.M.T.  and  the  fact  that  history  has 
shown  it  to  be  the  downfall  o(  na* 
lioni  was  brought  out  by  the  edu* 
cators,  while  the  students  stated  thai 
the  American  institutions  must  tw 
guarded  by  force  since  they  were  ^e• 
ing  opposed  by  force. 

From  that  point  on  the  discufc 
sion  included  the  morality  problem 
of  [he  armed  forces,  the  economy  ol 
the  proposal  and  the  general  effect 
such  a  law  would  have  on  the  lives  ol 
Americans,  Both  the  student  audi- 
ence and  the  professors  agreed  that 
American  youth  would  be  hampered 
in  economic  power  and  would  gain 
little  in  actual  technical  knowledge  by 
ihe  six  month  training  proposed.  Pan- 
el members  Haebel  and  Lowe  pointed 
out  however,  that  part  of  the  value 
of  the  training  would  be  in  the  ma- 
turity gained  by  the  individuals  and 
that  through  this  they  would  be  able 
to  pet  more  out  of  a  higher  educa- 
tion. The  morality  problem,  they 
staled,  was  no  more  so  than  when 
young  men  left  home  to  work  or  eo  '.o 
school. 

The  reason  for  the  selection  ol 
Universal  Mib'lary  Training  as  a  topic 
was  pointed  out  by  Dr.  Clark,  The 
idea  was  to  give  the  students  a  gen- 
eral idea  of  what  U.M.T.  was,  how 
they  stood  on  it  and  its  possible  ad- 
vantages and  disadvantages.  The  open 
discussion  Wednesday  night,  however, 
seemed  to  reveal  more  student  opin- 
ion on  the"  topic  rather  than  a  gather- 
ing of  facts. 


Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson,  President,  an- 
nounced last  week,  at  an  assembly, 
the  first  annual  "Song  Spiel",  which 
will  be  held  this  year  May  9,  1952. 
The  purpose  of  the  song  fest  is  to 
initiate  school  spirit  and  encourage 
singing  on  the  Campus. 

The  Song  Speil,  which  will  be  held 
in  the  evening,  on  the  terrace  fadng 
Middle  Halt,  will  be  of  a  competitive 
nature.  There  will  be  two  cups  award, 
ed,  one  going  to  the  mo«t  outstand- 
ing male  group,  the  other  to  the  most 
outstanding  women's  group. 
Must  Be  Members 

The  winning  groups  will  have  their 
names  inscribed  on  the  cups  and  will 
maintain  possession  of  the  coveted 
prizes  for  one  year,  when  the  trophies 
will  be  competed  for  once  again. 

To  be  eligible,  a  group  must  rep- 
resent some  recognized  organisation 
on  Campus.  In  order  to  compete  fo» 
some  particular  organization,  an  in. 
dividual  must  be  a  bona  fide  member 
of  the  group.  The  competition  will, 
however,  be  open  to  independent 
men's  and  women's  groups,  provid- 
ing these  groups  organize  as  such, 
Faculty  Not  AUowed 

The  competition  is  to  consist  of  two 
songs,  which  will  be  rendered  by  each 
group.  There  will  be  one  standard 
song  which  wilt  be  rendered  by  all 
the  men's  groups.  In  addition,  there 
will  be  one  song  which  the  groups 
will  do  of  their  own  choice.  Similarly, 
there  will  t>e  one  song  for  all  the 
women's  groups,  as  well  as  one  «ong 
of  their  own  choice. 

All  members  of  the  groups  must  be 
regular  students  at  Washington  Col. 
lege.  Any  person  not  a  student  at  the 
College  may  not  comfjete  in  the  com- 
petition in  any  capacity.  Leaders  of  the 


groups  must  be  students  themselves. 
Faculty  members  will  not  be  allowed 
to  aid  in  the  direction  ol  any  of  the 
groups. 

Singing  Is  A  Cappella 

The  individual  groups  are  to  be 
limited  in  size  to  a  maximum  of  fif- 
teen. The  minimum  for  a  group  is  to 
be  ten. 

The  singing  is  to  be  strictly  A  Cap- 
pella. Judges  are  to  be  selected  from 
individuals  outside  of  (he  College,  who 
are  outstanding  in  the  field  of  music 
and  choral  work. 

Dr.  Gibson  slated  thai  the  pre- 
scribed songs  will  be  announced  some- 
lime  in  the  near  future. 

ODK    HAS    REQUESTED    THAT 

the  individual  classes  Han  thinking 
about  possible  candidates  for  class 
officers.  There  will  be  further  an. 
nouncements  in  THE  ELM  as  to  the 
proper   procedure   for   elections.

JVll  too  regularly  one  overhears  the  comment,  "What  arc  wc 
paying  an  activities  fee  for?  Wc  don't  get  anytliing  cbt  of  it."  And 
just  a^  reg:ularly  the  majority  of  the  student  body  fails  to  attend  the 
various  functions  whicli  are  supported,  in  part,  by  that  sajne  activ- 
ities fee,  T  am  tliinking  in  pardcular  of  the  series  of  concerts  which 
have  been  presented  here  this  year  and  tlie  conspicuous  lack  of 
Kpresenlation  from  the  student  body.  The  artists  who  have  ap- 
peared to  date  have  been  very  good  and  it  seems  a  shame  that 
more  of  the  students  haven't  taken  advantage  of  the  opportunity 
to  hear  them.  Beyond  that,  it  even  seems  strange  that  most  of  tlie 
.students  do  not  attend  since  every  day  one  can  overhear  someone 
•grumble.  '"What  a  dead  town.  Nothin'  to  do."  Of  course,  it  is  al- 
■ways  possible  that  the  average  student  of  this  liberal  arts  college 
does  not  like  good  music.  If  that  is  tlie  case,  it  would  be  ver>'  much 
worth  while  to  attend  the.se  concerts  purely  with  the  intention  of 
'coming  in  contact  with  something  new  and  consider  them  a  definite 
part  of  one's  education.  For  those  who  arc  ipclined  to  be  thrifty — 
remember — ^you're  paying  for  them  whether  you  go  or  not. 
'let's  see  more  of  the  students  at  these  affairs.  They

FINANCIAL  STATEMENT 

The  Elm  staff  regrets  as  much  as  everyone  that  there  have 
■been  fewer  Elms  this  year  than  in  the  past.  We  assure  you  that 
'there  is  only  one  reason  for  the  reduction  and  that  is  a  matter  of 
cut  and  dried  financial  statistics.  For  two  big  reasons  we  just  don't 
have  the  money  to  give  you  as  many  Elms  as  wc  wish  we  could: 
(1)  Lower  enrollment  in  the  school  hence  less  operating  fund;  (2) 
Higher  cost's  of  publication.  The  printing  expenses  on  one  four  page 
issue  .amount  to  $54.  In  addition  to  this  there  arc  the  costs  of 
copy  paper,  picture  proofs,  etc.  Below  is  a  statement  of  the  re- 
sources now  on  hand  for  the  remainder  of  the  semester.  The  costs 
of  three  issues  have  not  been  dcdurated  from  these  figures.

Ihc  big  event  of  the  semester  was 
the  Moonlight  Ball  held  last  Satur- 
day nighi.  Everjone  seemed  to  have 
a  good  time  at  the  dance  and  at  the 
intermission  party  held  at  the  home 
of  Brother  Whitsitl.  The  crowning 
event  of  the  evening  was  the  instal- 
lation of  Pcgg)'  Feaihcrer  as  Phi  Sig 
"Moonlight  C»irl"  for  19jii.  She  re. 
icived  a  crown  of  red  cimaiions,  the 
fraternity  flower,  and  two  trophies — 
one  which  will  remain  a^  the  house 
iih  each  year's  winner's  name  en- 
graved on  it. 

We  know  thai  there  were  quite  a 
few  people  of  both  sexes  who  did  not, 
for  one  reason  or  another,  attend  the 
Ball.  We  hope  that  they  won't  miss  it 
next  year. 

Brothers  Miller  and  Ortel  are 
currently  employed  teaching  English 
and  Spanish  respectively.  This  may  be 
quite  a  surprise  to  those  who  know

time  out — 1  remain  yours  in  greater 
infamy  .  .  .  The- vituperative  vender 
OS  si.agnani  statements. 


' 'Festered 
Lilies  ^^ 

By  TOM  LOWE 

Evcrytime  someone  picks  up  an  is* 
sue  of  THE  ELM  the  first  thing  they 
turn  to  is  that  vituperative  column 
disguised  under  the  pseudonym  of 
"On  the  Hill."  Whether  one  knows 
the  mysterious  "ghost"  who  has  the 
nerve  to  print  that  lecherous  article 
(dragging  innocent  names  through  the 
mud)  or  not,  one  must  certainly  be 
bewildered  by  his  or  her  source  of 
nformation. 

But  in  a  more  serious  vein  this 
brings  to  mind  a  unique  character- 
istic peculiar  to  small  colleges  in 
general  and  W,C.  in  particular.  If 
you  have  faults,  and  don't  we  all, 
heaven  help  you  when  your  school- 
mates discover  them.  Now  this  in  it. 
self  is  an  advantage  of  a  small  college. 
The  recipients  of  this  agitation  become 
only  too  aware  of  their  flaws  and 
naturally  inhibit  or  discard  them. 

Of  course  there  are  those  few  who 
can't  take  it  and  pull  out  for  greener 
pastures;    however,   those    who    "smile 

I  when  it  makes  them  sick"  turn 
out  much  better  prepared  to  meet 
th.it    chaos    outside    which    we    refer 

is  civilized  society.  We  acquire, 
by  our  senior  year,  a  hide  like  a 
rhinoccrous.    But    on    the    other   hand 

I    a    rhino    has    a    few    soft    spots, 
so  just  like  harpies  after  warm  blood, 
attack    each     other     looking     for 

Ething  that  really  hurts.  In  an 
atmosphere  of  this  type  no  one  can 
possibly  have  time  to  feel 'sorry  for 
himself. 

Occasionally  wc,  being  humans, 
have  a  tendency  to  carry  this  too  far. 
We'll  find   a  Middle  Hall  Debutante 

1  Somerset  Lothario  who  for  one 

on  or  another  can't  be  agitated. 
When  that  poor  creature  digresses 
one  iota — stand  by! 

ou  know  that's  a  good  thing  too; 
We  know  the  old  adage  that  he  who 
dances  must  pay  the  piper.  Well, 
here's  one  that  we  seldom  remember: 
He  who  pays  the  piper  calls  the 
line,"  so  don't  let  it  upset  you. 
There's  just  one  weak  plea — When 
you  see  these  poor  weak  seniors,  old 
before  their  time,  remember  that  even 
if  they  call  the  tunc,  they're  too 
damned    decrepit   to   dance! 


Jefferson,  Theme 
Of   Convocation 


'Ihe  traditional  Washington's  Birth- 
day Convocation  exercises  which  took 
place  last  Thursday,  February  ',;i.  paid 
tribute  to  Thomas  Jefferson,  one  of 
General  Washington's  closest  Col- 
leagues  and  advisors.  T  he  speaker, 
Lyman  H.  Butierficld,  who  has  spent 
many  years  studying  Jefferson's  pa- 
pers, presented  to  the  student  body  an 
entertaining  personalized  history  of  the 
third  president  of  the  United  Slates. 

With  emphasis  on  the  intellectual 
discipline  of  Jefferson,  Butterfield  de- 
scribed him  as  an  "instinctive  scholar" 
who  was  interested  in  anything  that 
he  came  across.  He  told  numerous 
anecdotes  of  peculiar  items  that  were 
foimd  in  various  collections  of  Jeffer- 
son's papers  including  descriptions  of 
setting  up  sewage  systems  and  a  revo- 
lutionary idea  of  making  sea  w 
drinkable. 

Buttcrhcld  proclaimed  Jclterson 
"the  greatest  storehouse  of  informn. 
lion"  in  all  history  and  borrowing 
from  a  comparison  made  recently  by 
President  GrLswald  of  Vale  showed  liii 
to  be  a  full  man  for  his  reading, 
ready  man  ■  for  his  conference,  and 
an  exact  man  for  his  writings.  In  con. 
elusion  he  showed  the  importance  of 
Jefferson  as  a  man  of  high  education 
who  was  able  to  improve  the  institu. 
tioiis  of  liis  day,  staling  that  this  wa: 
the  highest  .my  man  could  bestow  or

Question 
of  the  Week 


What   do  you   thmk   of  The   Elm? 

Jean  Shcrtton:  I  think  that  Th« 
Elm  is  a  very  important  part  of  Wash- 
ngton   College.   I   myself   like   it. 

Fran  Bowie:  To  mc,  any  scholastic 
publication  is  a  necessary  part  of  the 
ichool.  Tlic  Ehn  is  a  nieans  of 
itrengthcning  the  bond  between  the 
students  and  the  faculty  and  also 
gives  the  students  a  better  knowledge 
of  campus- affairs. 

Bob  Stuck:  No  opinion! 

Hank  Donnaly:  If  it  weren't  for  The 
Elm — I  wouldn't  know  what  was  hap- 
pening   around    W.C.    I    only    wish    it 

ould   come   out   more  often. 

Dob  R.o^l^e:  The  Elm  serves  as  an 
nportant  source  of  college  news  and 
pictures. 

Dick  Cadden:  Should  have  more 
feature  articles. 

Pat  Anderson:  I  like  the  parts  I 
ead. 

John  Minnich:  Covers  ijie  sports 
well.  1  don't  like  the  gossip  column. 
There  is  not  enough   fraternity  news. 

Morton  R.  Smith;  It  cheers  me  up 
on  Saturday  mornings  when  I  don't 
get  any  mail.  Then  again  it  makes 
ue  mad  when  Monday  rolls  around 
ind  still  no  mail— just  The  Ebii.  Still, 
it's  a   right    fair  gossip  column. 

Kinnaman:  A  school  publication  is 
icry  important  but  unless  the  prim. 
:ng  is  readable  and  there  are  no  ink 
smears  on  the  paper  there  is  no  use 
to  even  publish  the  paper  because  it 
is  a  waste  of  money.  The  students  de- 
serve a  very  good  paper  for  their 
money. 

George  Horn:  It  is  the  worst  paper 
1  have  ever  seen  on  the  high  school 
or  college  level. 

Bernic  Rudo:  It  shows  definite  lack 
of  planning. 

Mehdi  Djahanbani:  Always  the  same 
stories  about    the  same   people. 

Bob  Lipsilz:  Not  enough  pictures. 

Most  common  answer:  It's  pretty 
good  but  it  doesn't  come  out  often 
enough.  [Editor's  note  See  the  article 
listed  "Financial  Statcmcni"  on  this

Senior  Of  . . . 
..•The  Week 


Father  "Rod"  they  call  him — or  at 
ist  ever  since  Kendall  Reese  arrived 
on  the  scene  last  fall.  But  having 
a  glamorous  baby  daughter  to  play 
with  doesn't  stop  Rod  Faulkner  from 
having  a  lot  of  activities  around 
sschool.  One  thing  he  did  have  to 
give  up — Lacrosse,  but  maybe  he  can 
take  it  from  the  stand  this  year  as 
a  family  man. 

Rod  has  been  active  in  the  adver- 
tising field  of  the  publications  ever 
since  he  arrived  on  campus  and  now 
ser%'es  as  Business  Manager  of  THE 
ELM.  He  has  also  been  an  instrumnlal 
member  of  the  Future  Teachers  of 
America  and  helped  found  the  group 
here.  He  served  as  secretary  and  treas- 
urer for  that  organization  in  his  soph- 
omore and  junior  years. 

Being  a  member  of  Lambda  Chi 
Alpha  Fraternity  and  the  Varsity 
Club  round  out  the  official  school 
activities  for  Rod.  As  extra-duty  he 
drives  to  Philadelphia  several  times 
a  week  for  the  hosiery  mills  here  in 
Chestcrtown.  As  far  as  books  go.  Rod 
dwells  on  Economics  ,  .  .  which  has 
certainly  come'  in  handy  so  far  for 
that  "salesman  approach"  to  ELM 
customers. 

Plans  for  the  future  are  undecided 
— too  many  fields  to  pick  from  but 
you  can  be  pretty  sure  it  will  be 
talking  someone  into  buying  some- 
thing. At  that— he  should  make  a 
million. 


Mr.  Buitcrncld  is  one  of  America'- 
foremost  scholars  of  Thomas  Jefferson 
and  is  associate  editor  of  a  recent 
publication  dealing  with  his  papers 
which  critics  quoted  as  being  the  most 
complete  work  ever  presented  con- 
ceming  the  philosophei-statcsman.

Shopmen  To  Face  Hopkins  In  Playoff  Verdict 
Kibler  Swings  Diamond  Hopefuls  Into  Action 


Court  Capers 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 
{Sports  Editor) 


"A  playoff  for  the  playoffs"  will  be  the  theme  next  week  when 
the  home  forces  exchange  baskets  against  an  unpredictable  Hop 
kins  quint  which  terminated  their  Mason-Dixon  Conference  pl:i> 
with  a  5  and  5  record. 

It  seems  one-sided  and  unjust  that  the  Shore  team  was  not  giv- 
en the  playoff  berth  automatically  due  to  its  9  and  9  record  in  con- 
ference play.  However,  the  record  book  states  that  regardless  of 
the  number  of  games  played,  it  is  the  win  and  loss  columns  that 
decide  the  playoff  teams.  The  Maroon  and  Black  handed  the  Blui 
jays  a  69-68  licking  on  the  latter's  home  floor  earlier  in  the  season 
and  the  Sho'  quint  is  determined  to  be  on  the  Loyola  court  when 
the  playoffs  commence,  March  6-7-8. 

Terrors  Succumb 

"The  Terrible  Terrors"  from  Westminster  turned  out  to  be 
lambs  at  the  slaughter  last  Monday  night  as  the  vastly  improved 
Shoremen  performed  creditably  before  a  high  spirited  crowd  at  the 
Chestertown  Garden.  Nick  Scallion  and  Coach  Athey's  sliding 
zone  turned  high  scoring  Arthur  Press  into  a  playmakcr,  while 
knocking  his  20  point  average  for  a  loop.  The  zone  defense,  with 
Scallion  playing  Press,  held  the  diminutive  ace  to  6  points. 

^Ten  Washington  players  figured  in  the  scoring.  Nick  scored 
on  his  deadly  one  hand  push  shots,  as  Jim  Taylor  performed  like 
a  veteran  off  the  boards  while  netting  13  points.  Danny  Samele 
and  Ken  Sullivan  thwarted  several  Western  Maryland  scoring 
sprees  as  they  sighted  the  net  for  numerous  baskets  from  set  po- 
.litions. 

Tigers  Score  8th  Win 

Hamprnden-Sydncy  played  the  role  of  "giant-killer"  on  Feb- 
ruary 23  as  the  Tigers  broke  American  University's  13  game  win- 
ning streak  by  downing  the  Eagles,  82-60.  The  Southerners  notched 
their  8tli  victory  against  2  defeats  in  conference  play.  The  Virginia 
quint  made  a  runaway  of  the  battle  in  the  third  period  outscoring 
the  Eagles  30  to  10! 

Meanwhile,  Mt.  St.  Mary's  nearly  turned  the  tide  against 
Loyola  College  as  Ben  Cook  of  the  Greyhounds  preserved  his  team's 
prestige  by  tapping  in  a  basket  in  the  final  two  seconds  of  play  to 
give  Loyola  a  61-39  decision.  This  is  just  an  inkling  of  what  may 
take  place  when  the  curtain  rises  on  the  playoffs  ne.\t  week  at 
Evergreen.

'51  Lacrosse  Guide 


Achieve  National  Standing 

The  ofTicial  1952  NCAA  Lacrosse  Guide,  which  is  produced  jnd  distribut- 
ed  by  the  National  Collegiate  Athletic  Bureau  of  New  York,  has  acclaimed 
Washington  t>)Ilegc  not  only  as  one  '>f  the  toj>  teams  in  Maryland,  but 
one  of  the  strongest  teams  in  the  East. 

Included  in  a  resume  of  the  I9j1  collegiate  lacrosse  season,  written  by 
Glenn  N.  Thicl  (lacrosse  coach  of  Penn  State)  was  the  following:  Instead  of 
the  better  teams  getting  better  and  the  smaller  schools  being  relegated  to  a 
minor  position  there  was  a  greater  "leveling  off"  in  competition  than  has  ex 
istcd  in  the  past  twenty  years.  The  traditional  "Big  Five"  which  caine  into 
being  in  the  mid-ihirtics,  virtually  dropped  out  of  e.tistcnce.  In  its  place 
came  Ihc  'Top  Ten'." 

"Into  this  honored  group  crept  ihe  names  of  institutions  which  had 
before  been  there,  namely:  Washington  Orflegc  from  Chestcrtown,  Md.,  and 
Loyola  of  Baltimore.  Because  two  teams  were  lied  for  the  top  position  and  two 
others  tied  for  second  place,  the  'Top  Ten"  in  reality  was  the  'Top  Twelve'." 

This  lacrosse  summary  al.so  included  a  picture  of  the  Maroon  and  Black 
squad  of  last  season,  plus  a  shot  of  the  North-South  group.  The  latter  snap- 
shot included  Coach  Charley  Clark,  Ray  Wood,  Harry  Kabemagcl  and  Eddy 
Leonard. 

Also  mentioned  with  high  regard  was  Washington's  first  string  .Mi-Ameri- 
can attackman,  Ray  Wood,  who  gained  the  all-time  scoring  leadership 
187  goals  during  his  four  year  career  at  the  Shore  school.

Editorial 

When  this  article  was  originally  written,  no  decision  had  been 
made  on  the  much  rumored  and  much  discussed,  behind  the  scenes, 
procIam:>tion  which  was  issued  to  the  Infratcrnity  Council  re- 
garding conduct  at  this  semester's  I.F.C.  dance.  Then,  rather 
surprisingly,  an  apparent  agreement  was  reached  between  fraterni- 
ty representatives  and  the  administration.  At  this  point  we  wish  to 
say  thai  the  Elm  was  never  in  agreement  with  the  original  decree 
and  we  are  glad  to  sec  that  some  other  arrangements  have  been  ar- 
rived at.  However,  tvc  must  add.  very  emphatically,  that  we  are 
opposed  to  those  actions  and  those  who  perpetrated  those  actions 
which  led  to  the  publishing  of  the  statement  which  was  issyed  to 
the  I.F.C.  a  few  weeks  ago.  There  is  no  question  that  in  the  past 
a  few  of  the  students  have  beliaved  quite  indiscreetly  before,  dur- 
ing and  after  dances  held  at  tlie  armory.  Those  indiscretions  are 
bound  to  influence  the  school's  reputation  in  the  eyes  of  parents, 
alumni,  and  the  people  of  Chcstertown.  Naturally  the  administra- 
tion is  going  to  attempt  lo  prevent  occurrences  of  a  similar  nature. 
The  most  effective  way  to  curb  injudicious  behavior,  however,  lies 
with  the  students.  V  the  student  body  would  (individually)  eensiire 
'those  persons  who  go  beyond  the  bounds  of  common  decency  and 
if  guilty  parties  were  to  find  themselves  cut  off  from  mingUng  social- 
ly with  their  fellow  students  until  genuine  apologies  were  forthcom- 
ing, such  behavior  would  be  rare  indeed.  , 

Conference  Room  With 
Hamburgers  And  Coffee 


vanishes 


J  At  approximately  7:45  A.M.,  a 
little  lat'  r  if  the  morning  is  chilly,  a 
small  red  Ford  pulls  into  Ihr,  parking 
lot  brhind  Bill  Smith.  The  driver  steps 
out  gingi-rly,  checks  once  Ox  twice  to 
^ce  if  he  has  brought  all  necessary 
items  for  [he  day,  and  thi 
into  thr  building.  About  fi 
later,  early  passere-by  can  detect  the 
aroma  of  coffee  fiiialing  from  ilic 
depths  of  ihe  building  and  upon  entry 
will  find  ihree  semi-awake,  but  in- 
dustrioui  persons  peering  over  a 
count):  r.  Their  faces  reveal  anxiety  of 
,wbat  is  to  come  and  ihcy  smile  hesi- 
tantly as  they  prepare  for  the  day's 
events. 

By  8:00  A,  M.  the  room  has  taken  on 
appearance  of  a  metropolitan  railroad 
station  during  the  Chrislmas  season. 
ImpatiTi,  slcepy-cycd  students  arc 
lined  up  three  deep  in  front  of  the 
couniir,  all  calling  out  orders  at  once. 
The  thnc  on  the  other  side,  a  few 
moments  before  not  quite  awake, 
come  to  their  complete  senses  with 
a  Stan  and  station  thcmsrlvcs  at  ad- 
vanta^rous  spots.  Music,  unintended 
for  early  morning  listening,  blares 
from  a  juke  box,  and  chairs  that 
piled  on  tables  for  the  night  come 
tumbling  to  the  floor  and  quickly  ac- 
cumulate a  variety  of  noubooks  and 
coats.  Thus  starts  the  day  in  the 
Snack  Bar,  "haven  of  happine-^"  to 
the  Washington  College  student. 

It  i^  rather  an  amazing  spectacle' '"S 
to  watch  thirty  «jmc  people  force 
down  what  represents  breakfast  in  five  | 
to  um  minutes,  especially  when  the 
coffee  is  hot  and  sclera]  carl)  classes 
feature  a  blucbook.  There  it  no  or- 
ganization whaisn«cr.  Coffee  is  sipped 
gingcriy  bctwen  glances  at  notes  and 
IXinvcrsation  with  one. who  is  to  take 
the  sane  exam.  Possible  qutilions  are 
pondered  and  more  often  than  not, 
one  comes  up  that  no  one  has  thought

poriani.  Ihis  occurrence  causes  a 
mplele  disregard  for  breakfast  as 
books  fly  open  and  eager  c>cs  search 
for  the  answers.  Quite  suddenly  and 
unexpectedly  the  bell  rings  and  the 
behind  the  counter  arc  left 
alone  facing  a  pile  of  dirty  cups  with 
aiuicipaiioiis  oE   the   9:15   class. 

from  about  8:45  until  closing  lime, 
e  Snack  Bar  continues  to  operate 
ih  aclivii)  lesembling  a  beehive. 
Tables  that  were  created  to  scat  lour, 
sag  wearily  under  a  dozen  elbows,  not 
to  mention  the  books  and  coffee 
cups.  Cigarettes  of  those  who  have 
gone  for  another  cup  of  coffee  ex- 
tend dangerously  o\er  the  edge  ol  the 
tables  and  stray  sugar  containers  find 
themselves  surrounded  with  paper 
plates,  straws  and  milk  bottles.  The 
groups  of  students  gathered  about  the 
formica  topped  furniture  talk,  some- 
times to  ihemsdlves,  sometimes  to 
.several  eager  listeners  on  the  qualities 
of  some   particular  professor. 

The  arrival  of  the  mail  brings  the 
height  of  confusion.  As  cattle  stam- 
pede when  a  gun  is  fired,  so  go  the 
students  ot  Washington  College  when 
mail  comes  in.  Movement  in  the 
southeast  corner  of  the  Snack  Bar  is 
next  to  impossible  and  extremely  haz- 
dous.  Circulars  are  strewn  about  the 
floor  along  with  empty  envelopes  and 
those  who  have  made  the  perilous 
journey  walk  back  to  their  seats,  read- 
they  go,  or  perhaps  more  often, 
look  of  despair  at  not  receiving 
that  necessary  allowance. 

So  goes  life  in  the  Snack  Bar — 
hile  the  sun  shines  that  is.  At  night 
it  takes  on  a  very  different  appearance 
udents  man  the  soda  fountain  and 
omers  enter  without  their  daytime 
rush.  Hamburgers  line  the  grill  and 
the  popular  coffee  pot  empties  .quickly. 
Tables  scat  a  few  couples,  minus  ;thc 
books  and  chatter  is  relaxed,  the  bee- 
hive aciivit)'  is  given  only  lo  those 
who  serve  up  the  food.  At  10:30  P.M., 
after  a  long  day,  ihc  little  red  Ford 
jgain  pulls  into  the  lot.  the  driver 
jumps  out  and  within  a  short  lime 
lights  are  out  and  one  more  day  has 
passed  in  the  Snack  Bar  at  Washington 
College.

Senior  Of  . . . 
...The  Week 


jOE  IWCAHA— We  must  offer  our 
apologies  to  "Ihe  Little  Flower"  ol 
Washington  College  for  being  so  late 
with  Ihb  sketch  ot  his  life  here.  Wc 
remember  promising  him  way  back 
last  fall  thai  wc  wanted  lo  include 
him  in  this  scries  before  the  mid- 
year mark  rolled  around,  and,  foi 
one  reason  and  another,  here  it  is 
officially  spring  when  we  are  getting 
around  to  using  the  material  gathered 
last  fall. 

Joe,  a  iNavy  veteran  of  lour  years 
active  duty,  came  to  us  totally  un- 
aware that  he  was  to  rise  to  unusual 
position  ot  being  one  of  tlie  few  cap- 
tains of  a  college  football  team  in  this 
country  who  was  to  have  no  football 
team   lo  captain,    lo  addition    to  this 

lusual  distinction,  he  has  been  very 
active  in  the  extra-curricular  activi- 
ties ol  W.C. 

A  loyal  Iheta  Chi  since  his  fresh- 
man year,  Joe  held  the  title  of 
Marshall  of  his  fraternity  during  his 
junior  year  and  was  honored  with 
the  presidency  this  year.  He  also  rep- 
resented Theta  Chi  on  the  Inter  Fra- 
ternity Council  during  his  3rd  year. 
r\  football  and  baseball  man  since  his 
arrival  iu  Chcstertown,  Joe  has  been  a 
member  ol  the  Varsity  Club  lor  the 
past  three  years.  During  the  '-lO-'M 
season,  be  seried  as  Intramural  Bas- 
ketball Director  and  the  following 
season  found  him  working  as  Athletic 
Publicity  Director.  In  addition  to  his 
athletic  exploits,  joe  has  been  a  mem- 
ber   ol    the    Washington    Players    and 

ill  be  remembered  tor  his  outstand- 
ing portrayal  of  "Banjo"  in  ihe  Play- 
ers'  production  of  "The  Man  Who 
Come    to    Dinner".     A    year    ago    he 

as  honored  by  being  tapped  by 
ODK  and  served  this  year  as  vice- 
president  of  the  honorary  fraternity. 
This  past  semester,  Joe  was  among 
those  students  selected  Irom  the  sen- 
ior clasi  to  be  included  among  "Who's 
Who  in   American   Colleges  and    Uni- 

:rsitics". 

Joe  is  another  of  our  married  stu- 
dents, having  achieved  that  status 
more  ilian  seven  years  ago.  He  and 
his  wile  have  been  blessed  with  two 
onderlui  kids.  Joey,  who  is  now 
>ur.  and   Nancy,  a   two-year-otd. 

Last  summer  Joe,  an  unofficial  ma.yor 
of  Chesieriown,  spent  most  of  his  lime 
traveling  through  the  south  buying 
■KEWKumbeis"  for  the  local  Vita 
Foods  Plant.  This  semester  Joe  is 
working  nearly  full  time  for  thai  same 
concern,  and  if  you  should  ask  him 
about  it.  he  would  suddenly  get  very 
>us  and  say.  "Did  you  know, that 
Vita  is  the  largest  importer  of  caviar 
in  the  wliole  country?"

ELM  irr  the  way  of  a  book  review  and 
,  I'm  not  going  to  attempt  to  write 
one  now.  i  would  like  to  recommend, 
though,  if  you  should  find  yourself 
without  anything  to  do  some  after- 
noon or  evening  that  you  pick  up  a 
copy  of  "The  Catcher  in  ihc  Rye"  by 
J.  D.  Salinger,  which  came  out  a  year 
or  so  ago  and  has  been  on  the  shelves 
of  Bunting  library  for  almost  as 
long.  .Mthough  this  novel  was  rather 
highly  recommended  by  several  book 
clubs  in  the  nation  and  even  placed 
on  the  mailing  lists  of  some,  it  is  still 
a  very  fine  piece  of  literature  and 
good  reading,  too.  It  is  not  a  long 
book  and  is  well  woilh  spending  a 
few  hours  with. 

Speaking  of  television,  and  who 
was,  did  anyone  happen'  to  catch  Mil- 
ton Berle's  show  last  Tuesday  night,  I 
imagine  that  the  skit  on  old  time  bur- 
lesque brought  back  a  lot  of  memories 
for  old  lime  Miniky.  Gaiety,  or  Old 
Howard  Ian!.  If  you  gel  an  oppor- 
tunity some  Sunday  afternoon,  try  to 
get  a  look  at  a  snow  called  "What 
in  the  World".  It's  an  educational  type 
program  and  as  a  result  may  not  last 
ter^'  long,  so  catch  it  once  or  twice 
before  the  network,  decides  to  :ilop 
sustaining  it. 

It  is  a  well  known  fact  that  most 
people  begin  to  act  strangely  with  the 
arrival  ot  the  vernal  equinox — sul 
phur  and  molasses,  hist  robin  observ- 
eK,  and  all  that — but  nowhere  on 
earth  does  sjiring  have  a  more  cat- 
aclysmic' effect  that  it  does  on  (he 
college  campus  and  W.C.  is  no  ex- 
ception. As  a  rule  the  average  student 
suddenly  develops  quite  an  urge  lo 
travel  during  this  season  and  to  dis- 
cover new  fields  to  conquer.  1  can 
vouch  Irom  first  hand  observation  Ihal 
one  of  these  new  fields  has  already 
been  explored  and  the  possibilities 
are  tremendous.  Maybe  before  the 
season  is  over  someone  among  us  will 
have  broken  that  "seven  dozen  shrimp 
at  a  time"  record.  And  with  custom- 
made  Cadillacs,  tool 

And  now  that  we  arc  lalking  about 
cars — did  you  know  thai  we  have  with 
us  this  semester  a  collector  of  an- 
tique and  lorcjgn  automobiles.  May- 
be you  have  noticed  some  of  these 
strange  looking  vehicles  on  the  park- 
ing lot  lately.  If  you're  inicicslcd,  we 
will  do  a  leature  article  some  day  on 
it. 

And  lastly — one  more  word  from 
that  oft  misquoted  philosopher  who 
goes  by  the  name  Anonymous — "Don't 
blame    the    malt    for    the    hops".

Netmen  Face  C.  U.  On  Home  Courts 


Sports  Highlights 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 

(Sports  Editor) 


Take  the  crack  of  the  baseball  bat  as  it  echoes  across  Kiblcr 
Field.  Add  to  it  the  spirited  chatter  of  the  lacrosse  squad.  Then 
listen  carefully  for  the  crack  of  the  starter's  gun.  Sprinkle  in  the 
sounds  of  the  tennis  ball  as  the  impact  of  the  racquet  sends  it 
bounding  over  the  net. 

You  now  have  the  recipe  of  the  1952  Spring  sports  program 
which  will  soon  be  in  full  swing  at  Washington  College.  But  wait! 
What's  the  rush?  Although  a  preview  is  at  hand,  let's  flip  back 
the  pages  of  the  scrapbook  and  review  some  "Court  Capers." 

The  afternoon  of  March  3  was  one  of  anxiety  for  the  students 
and  the  Athcymen,  as  the  hardwood  quint  embarked  for  Balti- 
more to  face  Johns  Hopkins  in  a  court  skirmish,  the  winner  of 
which  was  to  advance  to  the  playofls.  However,  the  following  morn 
ing  was  one  of  melancholy,  as  the  Shoremen  had  returned, 'having 
played  their  last  game  of  the  season.  Their  74-62  loss  was  over- 
shadowed only  by  the  fact  that  Nick  Scallion  had  netted  24  points 
to  continue  to  lead  the  state  in  scoring. 

Baltimore  University,  unseeded  in  the  tournament,  played  the 
role  of  "David"  as  the  mighty  Goliaths — Hampden-Sydney,  Ameri- 
can U.,  and  Roanoke  succumbed  to  the  Bees  in  three  spectacular 
nights  of  tourney  play, 

Soon  to  follow  were  the  choices  of  the  M-D  All-Star  basketball 
team,  headed  by  Washington's  own  Nick  Scallion.  Scallion  not  only 
gained  this  honor,  but  retired  with  the  state  scoring  championship. 
(22.3  for  23  games).  Although  the  Spring  sports  have  been  rapidly 
ushered  in,  the  conclusion  of  the  winter  program  had  ended  the  ca- 
reer of  one  of  \V.  C.'s  finest  athletes. 

Ever  since  he  made  his  debut  at  Chestertown  in  1948-49.  the 
sharp-shooting  eager  has  led  the  conference  in  total  points  each 
season.  Nick  began  with  318  in  his  fresh  year,  then  posted  397,  423 
and  finally  424  this  season.  He  has  been  the  perennial  pacesetter  of 
the  state  of  Maryland  for  4  years  and  an  all  Mason-Dixon  choice  for 
the  1951-52  season.  He  has  scored  a  total  of  2,08/ points  during  his 
4  seasons  of  play,  which  averages  24.5  per  game! 

The  slim  Hazelton  southpaw  holds  the  individual  high-scoring 
record  for  one  game  at  Washington  College — 39,  which  he  estab- 
lished last  season  against  Moravian  College.  A  steady  drawing  card 
for  the  Shore  institution  during  his  four  years  here,  Scallion  played 
his  best  when  under  pressure.  His  sportsman-like  conduct  and  un- 
assuming personality,  both  on  and  off  the  court,  have  gained  the 
diminutive  ace  notable  praise  and  an  eminent  reputation. 

It  will  be  quite  some  time  before  Washington  College  find? 
another  eager  to  wear  the  old  number  "10"  which  Scallion  filled 
so  successfully.

ous year, 

I'hc  play  of  Captain  Menzics,  Larry 
Leonard,  Bernie  Rudo.  Jack  Crim, 
BitI  Bonnet,  and  Bob  Jackiion  was 
cspetially  outstanding.  Perhaps  the 
most  thrilling  goal  of  the  afternoon, 
^  high,  hard  shot,  was  scored  by 
'conarti,  who  managed  to  slip  by 
Maryland's  Bill  Hubbcl,  named  as  last

Meniics  proved  to  be  the  outstand- 
ing scorer  of  the  game,  with  a  total 
of  three  lo  his  credit.  He  was  fol- 
lowed by  Grim,  who  denied  the  nets

Dr.  Clark  summed  the  game  up  by 
'tating,  "Everything  considered,  the

THETAS   WIN    PLAYOFFS 

Once  again  the  defcndhig  champions 
of  the  intramural  basketball  league, 
Theta  Chi  have  terminated  the 
hardwood  season  retiring  with  the 
playoff  honors. 

Two  wins  over  K..^.  enabled  the 
Oxmen  to  walk  off  with  the  champi- 
ons' medals  donated  by  the  Shore  ath- 
letic department.  Thanks  to  Coach 
Howie  Nesbill,  the  league  was  high- 
ly successful  and  the  hoys  are  looking 
'3rd  lo  ihe  coming  softball  cam- 
paign. 

Led  by  their  player-coach,  Leon 
flenjanlin,  the  K.A.  team  fought  their 
way  into  the  playoffs  by  knocking  off 
G.L  No.  1  and  then  the  Snakes.  But 
when  Benjamin,  /aloski,  Gardiner, 
Jackson  and  Shillenburg  met  Howard 
and  his  boys,  the  opposition  was  loo 
stiff.  The  Theias  downcil  Lambda 
39-26  and  then  in  their  opener  with 
K.A.,  scored   a   51-24    triumph. 


Donald  Francis  Patrick   McHugh, 
sandy       haired       biuc-cyed       Irishmai 
standing     6'     2"     and     weighing     IHi 
lbs.,   has   been   chosen   as   the   atlik-i 
of  (he  week   for  March  22. 

Known  to  the  campus  as  "Butch"  o 

kloose-gump ",  this  athlete  has  a  rec 

d  not  common  lo  most.  Graduating 

om    Hailcion    High    in    I9JB,    Butcli 

liisted   in  ihe  anny  and  \ervcd  with 

occupation    troops    for    l"/^    years      in 

Korea  and  Japan.  While  stationed  in 

Japan     he    began     playing     basketball 

irmy  team  which  traveled  from 

camp   to  camp   playing  other  All-Star 

teams. 

After  his  discharge  from  the  army, 
Sgt.  McHugh  started  his  college  ca- 
reer at  tranklin  and  Marshall  in 
Pennsylvania,  playing  basketball  ihcre. 
In  September  of  '49,  Butch  transfer- 
red to  the  Hill.  During  his  firsi  year 
he  played  only  basketball,  but  ihc 
next  fall  found  the  "Moose"  using 
talents  as  goalie  for  the  siKccr 
I.  Buich  started  the  basketball 
season,  but  had  the  misfortune  to 
jreak  an  ankle  and  was  forced  to 
pcnd  Ihe  rest  of  the  season  on 
crutclies. 

This  fall  Butch  again  played  goalie 
for  the  Shore  soccer  loam.  Towards 
the  end  of  the  season  his  head  (not 
his  nose)  got  in  the  way  of  a  Balti- 
more U-  player's  foot,  causin 
-vcre  concussion.  Due  to  the  injury' 
Uutch  could  not  finish  the  season, 
but  was  still  picked  as  second  string 
goalie  on  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference 
squad. 

Basketball  season  found  Butch  at 
it  again  in  spite  of  his  long  absence 
from  the  court. 

We  hear  he  refused  lo  wear  basket- 
ball shots  and  playetl  only  in  Rodger 
Smith's  saddlcsl  However,  his  height 
was  a  dcrinite  advantage  to  the  team 
and  opponents  will  tell  you  he's  a 
scrapper  all  the  way. 

'I  o  top  off  his  college  r6cord. 
Butch  was  initiated  by  the  Varsity 
Club  in  February. 

So  ends  the  college  chapter  of 
athletics  for  Butch.  Since  he  is  lack- 
ing three  crciliis  for  June  graduation 
he  plans  to  finish  in  summer  school. 
Good  luck  and  good-bye,  "Blue-eyes"!

DID  YOU  KNOW— 

That  Mel  Morgan  (Washington  grad- 
uate of  '51)  who  played  for  the  Plan- 
ning  and    Control    Division   of    Glenn 

Martin,  gathered  24'  points  in  a 
final  playoff  game  to  aid  his  basketball 

1  in  wiiming  the  company  cup 
championship  of  the  intramural 
league  of  the  Martin  plant?  This  earn- 
ed him  a  position  on  the  Martin 
Bomber  central  plant  team  which 
flew  to  Denver,  Col.,  to  play  in  the 
industrial  champion  team  playoff  ser- 


s  the  crack  of  ihc  horse  hide 
against  the  hickory  echoes  across  Kib- 
Field,  everyone  realizes  that  Spring 
is  here  and  America's  national  pastime 
is  in  full  swing  at  Washington  Col- 
lege. 

During  the  past  two  weeks.  Coach 
Kiblers  diamond  aspirants  have  been 
contending  fur  starling  positions  and 
the  spirit  which  prevails  on  the  field 
is  a  sign  of  the  Kiblcr  teams  of  old. 
The  squad  is  headed  by  fiwe  veterans: 
John  Santulli,  A\  Zaloski,  Kenny  Sulli- 
van, Ed  Cinaglia  and  John  Wilson.  E\-- 
periencea  operatives  arc  nut  p.timiul, 
but  [(lere  i^  a  oevy  of  promising  new- 


Sotnc  oC  these  are:  Dan  "Tiger"  Sa- 
incle,  Wcs  Edwards,  Doug  I  illey. 
Rip  Scwell,  Joe  Gallo,  Sieve  Masiri- 
auna.  Rod  Ware,  Cooper  DeLoach. 
Tom  Bounds,  Ken  Howard,  Phil  Rig- 
gins,  Paul  Desmond,  Steve  McHalc, 
Gary  Dunton,  and  Jack   Palmer. 

In  order  lo  produce  re^uhs  it  is 
necessary  for  a  club  to  have  a  good 
pitching  staff  and  some  power  at  the 
plaie  to  back  them  up.  At  Hit  pics- 
ihe  pitching  burden  rests  m  the 
hands  of  veteran  Sullivan.  H.>wc*cr, 
DeLoach,  McHale.  Dunton  and    lilgh- 

an  arc  in  line  to  relieve  Suhy's  toad. 

The  "Connecticut  Clan — "  banieic, 
Santulli,  2aloski  and  Masirianna,  are 
being  counted  upon  to  deliver  ihc 
needed  punch  from  the  hilling  angle. 
Nevertheless,  Coach  Kibler  is  still 
juggling  the  boys  around  in  different 
positions  and  no  one  is  sure  of  a 
starting  berth  until  that  opening 
game.  Ihe  opener  is  on  April  3  at 
Baltimore  U.  and  the  Sho'men  will  be 
out   to  "iiing  those  Beesl" 


Thinclads 
List  9  Meets 


The  \\'ashington  College  Irack 
squad  has  been  issued  a  1952  schedule 
which  is  perhaps  the  toughest  since 
that  listc-d  in  1949. 

•  -Two  championships,  five  dual  meets, 
plus  the  Pcnn  Relays,  is  a  fair  menu 
for  the  Maroon  and  Black  cindermen 
to  digest.  At  present,  the  team  is  com- 
posed of  only  fourteen  hopefuls,  six 
of  whom  are  veterans  of  last  season. 

This  latter  group,  consisting  of 
Kenny  Howard,  George  Eichclbetger, 
Bob  .Appleby,  Jack  McCullough,  Jim 
Taylor  and  Ells  Boyd,  will  find  it  nec- 
essary to  double  up  in  the  dual  meet 
competition  and  in  some  cases  run 
three  events! 

However,  Coach  Howie  Nesbiti  is 
looking  to  Ihe  new  men  for  the  much 
needed  support.  Headed  by  Mike  Ros- 

and  Wayne  Gruehn,  this  group  in- 
cludes Dave  Dougherty,  John  Mur- 
dock,  Hank  Myzerski,  Manuel  Crespo, 
Joe  Pokmywka,  Leonard  Dojl  and  Bob 
Hollander. 

Lou  Blizzard,  who  threw  the  shol . 
and  discus,  plus  Jim  Twillcy.  Mason- 
Dixon  4-10  yd.  champion,  will  be  sore 
ly  missed  this  season.  The  first  meet 
of  the  '52  campaign  pits  the  Shore 
thincladv  against  Towson  in  Baltimore, 
April  I. 

The  following  Saturday,  April  5.  the 
Shoremen  meet  a  strong  Baltimore 
Olympic  Club  squad  on  Kibler  Field 
which  boasts  two  former  Morgan 
Stale  College  stars,  Lester  Scott  antl 
Sam  LaBeach.  Coach  Nesbitt  refused

Dulles  Successor  Found  On  Campus 
State  Department  Announces 

By  ARTHUR  CROCK 


A  nation-wide  scarcli  to  replace  the  able  negotiator,  John 
Foster  Dulles,  whose  resignation  was  accepted, by  President  Truman 
this  week,  has  ended  on  the  Washington  College  campus.  State 
Department  officials  announced  that  the  appointment  would  b< 
given  to  "Mr.  E.A."  whose  identity  must  remain  such  in  the  press 
due  to  security  reasons. 

Selection  of  "Mr.  E.A."  for  the  post  was  prompted  by  his 
international  fame  as  an  expert  in  foreign  affairs  and  his  abilit> 
to  negotiate.  He  has  had  a  great  deal  of  experience  here  on  tht 
campus  also,  giving  talks  to  .students  of  Foreign  Affairs  on  rem 
edies  for  the  present  world  situation. 

The  "cw  ^ppoinlcc  will  assume  his 
duties  inimcdialcly  and  will  act  lot 
the  prescn t  lime  as  special  advisor 
to  (he  Kore.Tii  peace  negoiiacors.  It 
is  hoped  hy  the  national  administra- 
tion that  his  skill  will  lead  to  world 
peace  in  a  very  short   time. 

Mr  "E.A.",  when  told  of  the  ap- 
pointment made  the  following  state- 
ment, "I  am  happy  to  receive  the 
honor  which  has  been  bestowed  upon 
me  and  it  is  my  earnest  hope  that  I 
may  come  to  something."  He  also 
staled  that  if  it  was  powible  he  would 
make  inc  of  all  technical  treaty- 
making  knowledge  acquired  here  on 
campus  with  the  proper  credii  given 
to  those  who  had  helped  him. 

It  has  been  said,  by  numerous  au- 
thors and  political  theorists,  that  the 
key  to  world  problems  lies  within 
the  grasp  of  "Mr.  E..A."  It  is  a  known 
fact  that  he  has  at  his  disposal  a  vast 
library  of  facts  concerning  the  present 
situation  and  that  with  the  aid  of 
these  carefully  accumulated  papers  he 
will   be  an    a^ct   to   the  Peace  Talks, 

Because  of  the  high  honor  bestowed 
upon  one  of  its  members,  the  college 
has   agreed    to   allow   "Mr.    EA."   an   his   departure. 


extended  leave  of  absence  for  the 
next  term,  wiih  the  stipulation,  of 
course,  that  he  must  pay  all  overcuts 
for  the  rest  of  this  present  term.  The 
new  negotiator  has  not  announced, 
however,  any  plans  he  has  made  for

Who  Will  Win? 


S.  S.  O.  Raffles  1951  Chrysler 


Sigma  Sigma  Omicron,  local  honor 
fraternity  for  those  who  get  something 
out  of  what  they  read,  has  announced 
that  they  will  ralTle  off  a  1951  Windsor 
Chrysler  sedan.  The  radle  is  for  the 
benefit  of  the  luenibers  who  wish  lo 
have  refreshmenis  at  their  meetings 
in  ihc  future. 

The  car  to  be  raflled,  whi^h  is  pic- 


tured here,  was  procured  by  one  ol 
the  members  of  ihe  organisation  on 
a  side  street  in  Baltimore  where  it 
was  parked.  1|  has  been  announced 
by  the  group  that  the  winner  will  he 
responsible  for  selecting  a  new  serial 
number  for  the  motor,  as  the  original 
was  chipped  during  the  tarnsporiing 
of  the  vehicle  lu  Cliesiertown. 


Chances  are  being  sold  by  S.S.O. 
for  520.00  per.  Ii  is  hoped  that  they 
will  gain  enough  for  their  ireasni 
to  have  at  least  one  good  "blow-oul 
before  the  spring  term  ends.  The 
drawing  will  be  held  in  the  near 
future — or  as  soon  as  the  organization 
has_madc  a  satisfactory-  amount  ol 
money. 

For  those  students  who  are  inter- 
ested in  seeing  the  car.  S.S.O.  has 
entrusted  it  lo  the  care  of  the  night 
watchman  who  has  it  on  display  in 
the  parking  lot  behind  Hodson  Hall.

hy  this  title.  For  ica.ons 
unknown  icr  cither  this  writer  or 
Pepper,  he  i*  usuallv  called  Albert 
by  his  friends  ai  W.C,  although  his 
neighlKiis  on  Mi.  Vernon  .\venuc  have 
been  kiuiwn  lu  call  him  most  any- 
thing. Many  students  could  profit  by 
learning  some  of  the  secrets  of  this 
fellow'<  success.  He  has  nev(!r  been 
known  to  flunk  an  examination,  he 
has  taken  an  active  part  in  every 
sport  played  at  the  college,  be  is  the 
onlv  student  who  can  eai  in  the  snack 
iiltoui  paying  for  his  food  and 
reputation  for  staying  there  all 
day  long  Just  gorging  himself, 
neither  drinks  nor  smokes  although 
it  is  rumored  thai  he  has  had 
wild  love  affairs,  he  has  parlicipated 
at  science  club  and  forensic  society 
functions  and  has  spoken  more  than 
oncc  in  the  assembly  hall. 

Albert  was  born  at  any  early  age 
of  unknowij  parentage  and  entered 
liege  whi||-  still  a  young  fellow.  He 
has  majored  in  every  field  offered  by 
the  school  and  ii  reiJorteddy  at  work 
on  a  \erie»  of  hooka  to  be  called.  "The 
Care  and  Feeding  of  Human  Beings". 
Hie  first  volume,  subtitled.  "American 
White  Male"  will  Sfion  be  published. 
In  hii  spare  time  Albert  loves  to 
take  loisk  walks,  go  Jiunling'ior  |>lav

lonie  (if  his  buddies  for  an  old-iinic 
barber  shop  tpiauei  session.  Wlieri 
we  a«kcd  liini  if'  he  was  married, 
Albert  just  hwked  at  us  and  slyly

Because  our  notorious  author  of 
"Festered  Lillies"  has  run  out  of  ma- 
terial for  any  son  oj  column,  we 
must,  to  fill  up  space,  write  one  foi 
However,  we  also  can  appreciate 
his  lack  of  a  subject,  having  abso- 
lutely nothing  in  mind  at  the  moment 
to  philosophize  about.

entering  the  .profession  of  inoonshin-

ples of  typical  moonshine  to  interested 
persons  before  the  film  and  during  in- 
lission  (there  are  only  .17  ot  these). 
Guests  should  get  a  real  kick  out  of 
this. 

Student  chairmen  will  handle  dcm- 
(■nstralion  of  apparatus  and  techniques 
used  in  the  various  science  depart- 
ments and  will  he  assisted  by  other 
cluh  menibas  and  ihc  heads  of  the

main anonymous. 

Gary  Siorch  and  Sydney  Bare  will 
be  in  charge  of  all  elect  mentions;  rock

and  Cy  Collins  and  Bill  Phillips  will 
supervise  all  explosions  and  poisonings. 

After  the  exhibit,  the  club  will 
throw  a  beeno  parly  in  the  shower

coidially  invited. 


could,  as  has  been  done 
past,  attack  the  agitators,  who  are  at 
he  moment  getting  a  little  themselves, 
or  the  people  who  join  the  organiza- 
tions just  to  get  more  points.  But 
[hat  has  been  done  and  besides,  this 
April  Fool's  Day  and  we  aren't 
ipposed  to  be  serious  alroui  anything, 
as  if  wc  were  serious  about  anything 
at  anytime!  So,  maybe  we,  should 
extoll  the  happy-go-lucky  life  led  by 
the  students  on  the  campus.  They  do 
have  a  good  tiijie.  and  very  few  of 
them  really  worry  a  lot  and  the  ones 
thai  do.  worry  so  much  that  they 
worry  themselves  right 
picture.  So  as  our  first  April  Fool's 
message  we  say — "don't  worry,"  if  you 
j  want  to  stay  in  Ihe  picture  and  who 
I  doesn't. 

Shakespeare  once  said  (and  ive  usa

a  lot  of  words  down  there  ton  that 
look  good  but  they.don'l  sound  so

so.  lo  use  another  quote,  as  Gertrude 
Stein  said  ',\  rose  is  a  rose  is  a  rose

Tom  Hedcrman  Stars  In — Basketball 

Tom  came  to  my  house,  he  was  feeling  bad. 
So  I  said  to  him.  "Tell  mc  your  troubles  lad." 

"Well,"  said  he,  "I'd  like  to  play  some   ba^kitbail, 
But  everyone  says  you've  got  to  be  tall!" 

*'Oh,  how  I  love  that  sport, 

But  they  all  say  that  I'm  too  short!" 

The  boy  was  in  a  terrible  plight. 
Why  he  couldn't  even  sleep  at  _night. 

So  I  told  him,  "Don't  cry  and  shout. 
Because  there's  still  one  way  out." 

He  jumped  up  with  zip  and  zing, 

And  then  exclaimed,  "I'll  do  anything!" 

So  I  said,  "There  is  no  law. 

That  says  I  can't  put  you  inside  the  ball!" 

He  stammered  and  stuttered  and  mumbled  a  bit. 
Then  exclaimed,  "Do  you  think  I'll  fit?!!" 

'"If  you're  inside  the  ball,  my  boy,  and  the  ball  is  in  the  game, 
You  can  help  our  team  win,  and  gain  lots  of  fame." 

So  I  stuffed  him  inside   the  bladder. 

You  should  have  heard  him  curse  and  chatter! 

There  he  was  sewed  up  inside. 
Oh,  what  a  hell  of  a  place  to  hide! 

In  the  middle  of  the  court  we  heard  a  call. 
It  was  the  referee  shouting,  "Let's  play  ball!"' 

'This  ball  feels  awfully  heavy,"  complained  our  boy  Nick. 

And  then  a  voice  within  yelled,  "Shut  up  you  Hazelton  hick!" 

The  ball  was  tossed  from  goal  to  goal,  with  accuracy  and  speed. 
As  the  Shoremen  had  no  trouble  jumping  to  the  lead. 

The  opponents',  shots  went  everywhere,  and  many  hit  the  wall. 
And  no  one  ever  guessed  that  Tom  was  in  the  ball. 

\Ve  won  the  game  by  a  32-0  score. 

And  the  only  thing  that  Tom  could  say  was,  "Gee,  am  I  sore!" 

And  now  you  have  the  story  of,  a  team  that  was  held  to  zero. 
And  of  a  little  man,  who  became  an  unsun;^  hero!

Eck  King 
Slews  Sioux 


Before  assuming  his  duties  as  dir- 
ector of  The  Youth  Brigade  for  the 
Swiss  Resistance  Movement,  Eckler 
kuig.  with  the  able  assistance  of  Jack 
Vinisiriiiig.  led  the  Washington  Crease- 
men  [o  victory  this  past  Saturday  over 
Mie  Sionx  Indian  Lacrosse  Clnb  of 
Sioux  City,  Iowa, 

Showing  excellent  form  and  demon- 
siaiiug  stellar  sportsmanship.  Eck  King 
did  as  he  said  he  would,  he  "Helped 
Ileal  the  redskins  at  iheir  own  game." 
.\rmsivong,  fourth  string  defensenian 
on  Coach  .\\  Hart's  lacrosse  squad,  leni 
able  assistance  to  bring  the  crew  oiu 
on   top. 

However,  other  members  of  iIr-  te.ini 
are  not  to  go  unmentioned.  "Paleface" 
Bonnetl,  at  the  end  of  his  last  gauic 
tor  ibe  Sho'iqcn  said.  "Daaaaaa  .... 
after  we  scoied  our  35ih  goal.  I  knew 
ive  would  winl"  Bean-pole  Bacon, 
upon  being  asked  to  comment  on  the 
plays  of  the  day,  said,  "McCurdy 
goosed  me  in  the  first  quarter,  caus- 
ing me  to  delay  a  wonderful  sliol. 
Otherwise,  I  had  a  good  day."  "If 
Bacon  hadn't  slabbed  me  in  the  eye 
with  his  nose,"  retorted  "Dirty"  Mc- 
Curdy. "I  would  have  scored  myself." 

Except  for  these  little  incidents  of 
common  occurrence  the  boys  did  a 
wonderful  job.  "Bubbles"  Bronslein, 
with  his  pink  paniics,  had  all  the  girls 
in  a  whirl.  Charlie  "Coachees"  Clark, 
up  and  coming  Freshman  manager,  did 
a  fine  job  abo — through  his  able  as- 
sists in  chasing  balls  and  handing  out 
the  water  buckets.  And  don't  forget 
the  exceptional  performance  ot  Rags 
'The  Traveller"  Deems.  Were  it  not 
For  his  great  exhibition  of  skill,  Eck 
King  would  have  been  scalped.

Russians  Win 
Track  Meet 

Coach  Howie  Nesbiit.  graduate  of 
Moscow  University,  was  asked  to  re- 
turn  to  his  native  land  by  one  of 
his  former  fraternity  brothers  (Slinky 
Stalin)  and  bring  his  track  squad  from 
Wish-I-Never  Entered  College.  Events 
were  to  iuchide  grenade  throwing, 
back  stabbing,  mine  vaulting,  and 
vo<ika    drinking. 

I-Iowever.  Coach  N'esbitt  (All-Russia 
gin  rummy  player)  persuaded  Coach 
Stalin  to  compete  in  our  events,  only 
after  we  promised  to  stop  sending 
the  Russians  food  from  Hodson  Hall, 
So.  the  team  embarked  on  the  U.S.S. 
Connecticut  banana  boat  for  Moscow. 

Several  All-.-\merican  athletes  who 
accompanied  ihc  team  on  their  trip 
were:  Minnie  Knipp.  former  champion 
gold  fish  eater;  Dr.  Dan  Gibson,  pole- 
vault  champ  of  Alcatraz  in  1920; 
Black  "Jack"  Henry,  former  para- 
chute jumper  of  Barnum  and  Bailey 
and  .\manda  Bradley,  lady 
wrestler  and  weightliflci  of  ihe  1932 
Olympics. 

When  our  team  reached  the  Rett 
shore,  they  were  promptly  welcomed 
by  anti-aircraft  fire.  Nevertheless,  ihey 
made  il  to  the  stadium  safely  and 
donned  their  uniforms  for  the  big 
meet.  The  Russians  lined  up  for  the 
hundred  yard  dash  .and  our  team 
put  on  bullet  proof  vests  after  seeing 
the  Russian  starter  with  a  gun. 

.■\ttcr  eluding  two  tanks  and  a  low 
flying  jet,  Kenny  Howard  cut  through 
the  "Red"  tape  to  score  a  victory. 
Mike  Rossi,  one  of  the  visiting  team's 
strongest  athletic  supporters,  won  by 
a  stretch  in  the  mile  run.  He  was 
ilien  presented  with  ihe  "Red"  ba- 
nana of  the  day  award. 

Ells  Boydoski,  after  getting  caught 
in  ihc  first  hurdle,  eluded  the  Rn.ssian 
buzzards  and  Hew  lo  victory.  George 
Eickclberger  siabhejl  the  Russian 
quarter-milers  with  his  nose  and  won 
by  ihe  tail  of  his  "Red"  underweai*. 
Jack  Mc^Cullon^h,  our  two  mile  hope. 
was  caught  hi  the  Russian  "Red"  tape 
and  only  after  a  fast  c^ll  to  the  Amer- 
ican Embassv  was  able  to  participate. 
McCullough  won  and  added  more 
points    to   ihe   American    came. 

.\i  the  conclusion  of  the  meet, 
Coach  Nesbiti  exclaimed,  "If  we  dim"! 
ivin  Ibis  meet.  I'll  eat  Eichelbcigcr's 
Red'  underwear! "  Soon  ihc  score  was 
tabulated  (on  ihc  Russian  ad<Ung 
machines)  and  ihc  final  score  read, 
Russia.  5ri0;  The  Invaders,  5. 

.-Vs  the  boat  sailed  for  the  American 
shore.  Nesbitt's  final  words  were. ' 
"This  underwear  tastes  belicr  than 
anything  I've  ever  eaten  at  lUdson 
Hall!"

He  played  professional  baslictball 
in  the  old  Eastern  League  and  was

funny"  "My  Sister  Eileen."  The 
presentation  will  be  held  in  William

Friday,  May  first  and  second.  The 
curtain  will  go  up  at  8:30.

Elinor  Gustafson,  as  Eileen  and  last 
>(ar's  Oscar  winner,  Eleanor  Dryden, 
who  plays  the  part  of  her  sister, 
Ruth.  The  entire  story  centers  around 
the  adventures  ol  the  two  girls  as 
ihey  try  to  break  into  the  profession- 
il  world  in  New  York. 

The  entire  casi  for  the  production 
numbers  twenty-seven  speaking  parts 
ind  numerous  walk-ins.  As  is  the 
tradition,  the  spring  comedy  usually 
carries  the  largest  cast.  The  play  is 
being  directed  by  veteran  Players, 
Helen  Roe  and  Phyllis  Seilz.  Both 
girls  have  been  active  in  the  theatrical 
group  during  their  four  yean  here 
at  the  college. 

Acting  in  an  advisory  capacity  is 
Mr.  Edward  Brubaker,  professor  of 
English.  He  has  taken  over  the 
duties  of  the  group's  regular  advisor, 
Mrs.  E.  Winifred  Opgrande,  who  has

the  box  office  will  open  at  7:45  each 
night  before  the  play  where  other 
tickets  will  be  available. 

The  play  itself,  as  mentioned  be- 
fore, revolves  around  life  in  a  base- 
ment apartment  in  Greenwich  Vil- 
lage. Ruth  and  Eileen  Sherwood, 
typical  of  the  numerous  girls  who  go 
to  Njjv  York  to  break  into  the  pro- 
fessional world,  and  their  comic 
acquaintances  made  in  the  village 
provide    the    comedy   for   the    stor>'. 

The  show  was  written  by  Joseph 
Fields  and  Jerome  based  on  the  stories 
of  Ruth  McKenncy.  Critics  have 
called  the  Broadway  show  "one  of 
the  funniest"  and  rate  it  as  top  enter- 
tainment.

an  elaborate  set,  the  stage  manager 
"Dutch"  Spangle  has  announced. 
The  audience  will  be  able  to  get  a

ON  ELECTIONS 

As  far  as  most  of  the  fraternities  arc  concerned,  this  reminder 
is  a  little  late,  but  we  recommend  that  you  to  whom  our  advise  ap- 
plies pay  heed. 

Between  now  and  the  end  of  the  school  year  most  of  the  extra 
curricular  outfits  on  campus  will  be  occupied  with  choosing  officers 
for  the  coming  year.  These  events,  notably  the  class  elections,  gen- 
erally disintegrate  into  popularity  contests.  This,  in  our  opinion,  is 
bad.  Having  achieved  the  remarkable  status  of  being  brilliant  up- 
perclass  philosophers,  we  feel  justified  in  saying  that  officers  who  are 
elected  on  a  popularity  basis  alone  usually  serve  just  about  as  ef- 
ficiently as  a  smiling  picture  placed  on  a  bureau  top. 

Any  offiter  who  performs  his  duties  efficiently  and  keeps  the 
organization  active  and  its  members  interested  will  be  in  for  a  devil 
of  a  lot  of  extra  work.  Tliis  is  an  inescapable  fact.  And  if  the  of- 
ficers aren't  willing  to  assume  these  extra  chores,  the  organization 
will  disintegrate. 

When  elections  take  pFace  in  your  club  or  class,  take  time  to 
pick  out  those  eligible  persons  who  have  gone  out  of  their  way 
durins;  the  year  to  perform  extra  duties,  those  who  have  volunteered 
to  be  on  the  various  committees,  those  who  have  come  up  with  con- 
structive ideas  at  the  meetings.    They  are  officer  material.

a  Shriner,  a  member  of  the  vestry 
of  Emmanuel  Protestant  Episcopal 
Church  in  Chestertown  and  a  di- 
rector of  the  Chestertown  Bank  of 
Maryland. 

From  1920  until  1951  he  was  as- 
sociated with  the  firm  of  C.  W.  Kib- 
ler &  Sons,  one  of  the  largest  grair 
firms  on  the  Eastern  Shore.  He  cn^ 
tered  the  field  of  politics  in  1950  anc 
was  elected  to  the  Board  of  County 
Commissioners  for  Kent  County

.Mthough  we  usually  leave  our 
sports  stars  to  the  sports  page  of 
THE  ELM,  we  couldn't  quite  find  the 
heart  lo  pass  up  Mr,  Ken  Sullivan,  al- 
known  as  "Hilty",  "Sully"  and 
chief  heart-throb  of  the  freshman 
girls  each  September.  So,  a  brief  run- 
down on  Mr,  Sullivan's  four  year 
record  at  Washington  College  is  in 
order. 

Kenny  came  down  to  Chestertown 
from  the  Bronx  with  basketballs  and 
baseballs  dancing  in  his  brain  and 
took  it  from  there.  He  has  played 
both  sports  for  the  last  four  years 
and  very  succcssfuU.  This  year  he  was 
co-captain  of  the  basketball  team 
and  captain  of  the  baseball  boys.  A 
bad  hand  has  taken  him  out  of  the 
spring  line-up  for  the  rest  of  the  year, 
however. 

He  was  initiated  into  the  Varsity 
Club  his  sophomore  year  and  has 
served  as  secretary  of  the  group.  He 
was  also  a  member  of  the  Newman 
Club.  His  residence,  along  with  most 
of  the  athletes,  is  the  Theta  Chi 
House. 

Sully's  favorite  activity  for  the  pres- 
ent year  has  been  as  one  of  the  "agi- 
tators." This,  besides  his  sports  activ- 
ities, has  kept  him  pretty  busy,  most- 
ly in  the  Snack  Bar  over  a  cup  o( 
coffee. 

After  graduation  this  June,  Sully. 
with  his  best  pal,  Nick,  will  go  ill  the 
United  Slates  Marine  Corps  ORicers' 
Candidate  School,  in  Quantico.  May 
we  take  this  opportunity  to  wish  our 
favorite  Irishmen  with  the  BrcSklyn 
accent   the   very   best   of  luck. 

Dot  Willis     Heads  F.T.A. 

Dorothy  Willis,  sophomore,  has  been 
elected  president  of  the  Washington 
College  chapter  of  the  Future  Teach- 
ers of  America.  She  will  succeed  Jim

Sports  Highlights 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 


PRESSBOX  SENTIMENT 

When  the  Baltimore  Orioles  fell  into  a  slump  in  the  Inter- 
national League  last  year,  and  faced  what  seemed  like' incessant  de- 
feat, the  bleachers  and  grandstand  seats  were  abandoned. 

When  the  Baltimore  Bullets  lost  several  hardwood  skirmishes 
to  the  weaker  teams  of  the  N.B.A.,  the  fans  deserted  the  coliseum 
and  sought  entertainment  elsewhere. 

And  when  the  professional  ice  hockey  team  disbanded  and 
then  the  Colt  football  squad  was  rejected,  one  of  the  major  reasons 
being  lack  of  spectator  interest,  the  fans  demanded  to  know  why 
their  city  couldn't  hold  on  to  its  professional  athletics. 

This  was  common  place  net  only  in  Baltimore,  but  in  many 
other  cities  and  towns  of  the  U.  S,  It  is  only  human  nature  to  be- 
come disinterested  when  your  team  isn't  on  top.  It  is  only  normal 
to  desert  the  bleachers  when  your  team  falls  in  the  conference  stand- 
ings. 

But — why  not  give  the  teams  here  at  Washington  College  a 
chance?  When  the  baseball  squad  opened  its  season  at  home  against 
West  Chester,  fifty  per  cent  of  the  rooters  were  from  town.  After 
the  track  team  dropped  its  first  major  dual  meet  to  the  Baltimore 
Olympic  Club,  a  majority  of  the  fans  attending  the  next  meet  were 
from  the  opposing  school. 

The  only  sizable  crowd  of  the  spring  sporting  season  appeared 
at  the  Harvard  lacrosse  game.  Many  of  these  sport  enthusiasts 
graced  Kibler  Field  with  their  presence  only  because  they  had  never 
seen  a  lacrosse  game  or  because  they  wanted  to  "see  what  the  Har- 
varrrd  buoys  looked  like!"  As  for  tennis,  the  crowd  dwindled  after 
several  singles  matches  and  many  stopped  on  their  way  to  Hodson 
Hall  for  a  quick  glance  at  the  netmen. 

The  spirit  on  the  hill  has  undoubtedly  diminished  since  "the 
days  of  old."  What  good  arc  the  teams  if  the  students  don't  support 
them?  To  give  the  participants  exercise? 

Although  the'  game  may  begin  while  you  are  in  class,  it  will 
not  terminate  before  you  are  dismissed  from  class.  It  sure  is  nice 
weather  to  go  for  a  swim  and  bask  in  the  sun.  But  why  not  soak 
up  a  little  of  that  sun  out  on  Kibler  Field  through  watching  your 
teams  in  action  and  perhaps  cheering  them  on  to  victory. 

Grantland  Rice  once  said,  "If  you  can't  participate  in  sports, 
then  be  one  anyway."  And  I  say,  "If  you  can't  be  an  athlete,  then 
be  an  athletic  supporter?!!"

Bow,  6-3 


The  Washington  College  Lacrosse 
Team  made  a  valliant  try  for  victory 
last  Saturday  afternoon  at  Durham, 
N.  C,  but  finally  wound  up  on  the 
short  end  of  a  G  to  3  score.  The 
game,  which  wi?  closely  contested 
throughout,  was  knotted  2-2  at  lialE- 
tiiue. 

Freshman  Ron  Wilson  o£  Duke  was 
successful,  in  putting  one  past  Bill 
Russell,  the  Shore  goalie,  less  than 
a  minute  after  the  start  of  the  ball 
g.inie.  Washington  College  soon  re- 
taliated and  evened  the  score  a( 
one-up,  through  a  tally  by  Creasenian 
Bobby  Lipsitz,  This  was  soon  fol- 
lowed by  a  hard  shot  from  the  mid- 
field  by  Bob  Jackson,  who  put  the 
Shoremen  in   the  lead,  2-1. 

Brooke  Cottman,  Duke  attackman, 
scored  for  the  Blue  Devils  in  the 
Wcond  quarter.  Neither  squad  was 
able  to  score  from  this  point  on,  and 
the   score   was    tied   at    half-time   2-"2. 

Duke  took  the  -lead  in  ihe^  third 
Si'arter  on  goals  by  Dan  Peacock  and 
Al  Lynch.  The  score  going  into  the 
fourth  quarter  was  4-2,  Duke  t 

Bob  Jackson   came   tlirough 
fourth     quarter     for       another 
"laking    the   score    4-3.     Duke,

Especially  gratifying  in  the  game 
was  the  showing  that  Jackson  made 
at  the  midfield,  bearing  out  Coach 
Charlie  Clark's  strategy  of  moving 
Jackson  up  to  increase  the  scoring 
punch  of  the  squad. 

The  team  will  see  action  today  when 
they  face  the  powerful  undefeated

Hopkins 
Downed 


Washington  College  captured  its 
first  win  oE  the  season  last  Tuesday 
by  downing  the  Johns  Hopkins  base- 
ball squad,  11-6  on  the  Homewood 
liamond. 

The  Shoremen  garnered  eleven  hits 
iff  of  two  Jay  pitchers,  as  Cooper 
DeLoach  hurled  his  first  collegiate 
lasting  the  full  nine  innings 
on  the  hill. 

The  Chestertown  nine  opened  the 
game  with  two  runs  in  the  first  in- 
ning, but  the  Bluejays  matched  this 
Jumped  to  a  4-3  lead  at  the  end 
of  the  fourth  inning.  The  Shoremen 
came  from  behind  in  the  fifth  frame 
as  four  men  crossed  the  plate  to  give 
the  visitors  a  74  advantage.  From 
this  point,  the  Sho'men  wilre  never 
headed. 

There  iverc  four  double  plays — 
three  by  Hopkins,  and  two  agile 
fielding  plays  by  the  Sho'  keystone 
combination  of  Doug  Tilley  and 
Dan  Samcle.  Tilley  slammed  the 
only  extra  base  blow  for  the  Maroon 
and  Black,  this  being  a  two  bagger 
to  right  field.  John  Wilson,  Rod  Ware, 
Cooper  DeLoach,  John  Santulli  and 
Steve  Masirianna  accounted  for  the 
plate  punch  which  upset  Hopkins,  by 
gathering  two  hits  apiece  in  the  11-6 


Netmen 
Win  Three 


Stickmen 
Rout  Tarheels 


Washington  College  stretched  it 
victory  skein  to  3  in  as  many  year; 
when  it  whipped  the  Tar  Heel  Ten 
of  North  Carolina  last  Friday  to  the 
tune  of  15-6. 

Captain  Graham  Menzies  of  the 
Shore  outfit  was  personally  responsi- 
ble for  seven  goals  of  the  fifteen  scor 
cd.  Attackman  Larry  Leonard  was 
second  high  scorer  for  the  afternoon 
with  a  total  of  four. 

Washington  College  jumped  to  an 
8-1  lead  in  the  first  quarter  and 
never  headed  from  that  point 
North  Carolina  was  able  to  dent 
nets  for  three  goals  during  the 
ond  quarter,  making  the  score  8-4 
at  half-time. 

The  Grossmen  were  able  to  push 
three  goals  across  during  the  third 
quarter  while  holding  the  Carolina 
Ten  scoreless.  Goach  Charlie  Clark 
substituted  freely  in   the  last  quarter. 

John  Grim,  George  Hesse,  and 
Jack  Dail,  and  Bob  Jackson  scored 
apiece  to  account  for  the  rest  of 
the  Washington  score. 

Coach  Charlie  Clark  singled  out  the 
play  of  Bill  Kabernagle.  Freshman, 
and  Djck  Weller,  on  the  defense,  as 
being  especially  deserving  of  praise. 
Weller  took  up  the  stick  game  for  the 
first  time  last  year,  and  broke 
the  starting  lineup  in  the  Maryland 
Lacrosse  game  this  season  at  a  defense 
position. 


The  Washington  tennis  squad,  coast- 
ing along  with  three  consecutive  wins, 
opposes  Wilson  State  Teachers'  Col- 
lege   today   on    the    Somerset    courts. 

The  team  has  trounced  Western 
Maryland,  6-2,  Loyola,  7-2.  and  Bal- 
timore U.,  9-0. 

The  Shoremen  won  4  of  6  singles 
matches  when  it  matched  strokes 
with  the  Terrors  at  Westminster. 
These  singles  were  captured  by  Bruce 
WyckofT,  Jack  Smith,  Gary  Wyckoff 
and  Tony  Tonian.  Smith  and  Wyc- 
koff    swept    their    matches,    6-0,    6-0. 

Bill  Murray  and  Don  Hcverly  won 

:ir  first  matches  of  the  early  cam- 
paign and  set  the  winning  pace  for 
rera.iindcr   of    the    team,    as    they 

;played  the  Loyola  Greyhounds, 
7-2.  Bruce  and  Gar>'  Wyckoff  out- 
lasted  Joe    Lacy   and    Bill    Cockey   in 

ubles  to  win  8-6,  4-6,  6-4. 

Baltimore  University  furnished  lit- 
tle opposition  last  Tuesday  as  the 
Shore  aggregation  swept  through  nme 
matches  in  a  record  time  »f  two 
hours.  The  Sho'  ncttcrs  accumulat- 
ed 108  games  while  the  Bees  only  won 
games  during  the  aficriKwn. 

Jack  Smith  extended  his  winning 
string  to  four  straight  victories  while 
cc  Wyckoff  and  Tony  Tonian 
have   won    their   last    three    matches. 

This  tennis  team  is  one  of  the 
strongest  in  the  school's  history.  This 
has  only  been  achieved  through  the 
consistent  playing  of  Bruce  WyckofT 
and  Jack  Smith;  the  new  tennis 
courts;  excellent  coaching  by  Tom 
Eliason  and  the  experience  and  high 
spirit  of   Ihc   squad.

Guidance  Opportunity 

For  Interested  Men 

Coach  Howard  Ncsbitl  has  an- 
nounced an  opportunity  for  those  who 
are  interested,  to  attend  a  Y.M.C.A. 
camp  at  Port  Jervis,  N.  Y.,  this  sum- 
mer as  guidance  councelors  during  the 
months  of  July  and   August. 

Mr.  William  Dcmc,  Athletic  Di- 
rector of  McBumcy  Boys'  Schiwl  of 
New  York  City,  has  contacted  Coaeb 
Ncsbitl  regarding  this  job  for  any 
male  student  at   Washington   College 


Although  the  Shore  track  squad 
captured  nine  first  places  out  of  a 
possible  fourteen,  they  met  defeat 
at  the  hands  of  Penn.sylvania  Military  \ 
College  last  Wednesday  on  the  win- 
ners' track. 

The  meet,  which  was  carried  on 
through  intermittent  rain,  was  high- 
lighted by  four  individual  wins  by 
Kenny  Howard  antl  a  new  dual  meet 
record  in  the  discus  throw  which  was 
set  by  big  Jim  Taylor.  Howard  breast- 
ed the  tape  in  the  100  yard  dash,  the 
220,  and  the  220  yard  low  hurdles. 
He  added  to  this  a  22'4"  broad  jump 
to  garner  20  pointi  of  the  61  point 
total. 

Taylor  hurled  the  disk  137'  11"  to 
establish  his  new  field  record.  George 
Eichelbcrger  and  Ells  Boyd  account- 
ed for  two  wins  apiece  as  the  former 
won  the  440  and  880  and  the  lat- 
ter earned  firsts  in  the  high  jump  and 
high  hurdles. 

Eichelberger's  win  in  the  quarter 
mile  was  one  of  spectacular  note,  as 
he  skillfully  worked  out  to  the  front 
after  being  boxed  in  by  three  P.M.C, 
runners  at  the  start.  Bob  Appleby 
ran  one  of  his  best  times  of  the  sea- 
son in  the  mile  ruo,  jast  breaking  the 
five  minute  mark,  but  was  edged  out 
by  Bill  Smith  of  the  Cadet  squad 
in  a  thrilling  finish. 

The  Pennsylvanians  collected  nine 
points  in  the  javelin  throw,  the  Shore- 
men being  unable  to  match  the 
throws  of  the  Red  and  White.  The 
javelin  is  not  thrown  in  the  Mason- 
an  Conference.  The  times  for  the 
eight  running  events  were  not  on  a 
par  to  those  run  in  the  earlier  meets, 
to  the  rain  and  wind  which 
swept  the  cinder  path. 


Greyhounds 
Nip  Sho'men 


Loyola  College  captured  its  fint 
Mason-Dixon  baseball  game  last 
Monday  by  setting  back  the  Wash- 
ington squad,  9  to   I. 

The  defending  Northern  Division 
champions  took  advantage  of  seven 
Sho'  errors  as  Danny  Donahue,  the 
ling  pitcher,  held  the  losers  to 
five  singles.  Johnny  Santulli  moved 
from  his  usual  spot  in  the  "hot  corner" 
start  the  game  on  the  mound.  He 
pitched  a  fine  game,  giving  up  only 
five  hits  in  six  innings,  before  Gary 
iton  relieved  him. 
Red"  Schneider  and  Bo  Kirby 
ed  for  the  Hounds  in  the  first 
ing  as  Tom  Bounds  overthrew 
the  first  sack.  The  Shoremen,  gun- 
ning for  their  first  win  after  two  set- 
backs, threatened  in  their  half  o( 
the  first  frame  by  placing  Ken  How- 
ard   on    third    with   only  one   out. 

However,  the  Baltimore  team  per- 
formed a  quick  double  play  as  Don 
Pearson  and  Mel  Wright  quelled  the 
Washington  rally.  Loyola  led  5-0  at 
the    end    of    the    fourth    inning,    each 

Bo  Kirby  scored  in  the  fifth  inning 
Icr  slamming  a  triple  to  center  field, 
From  this  point,  the  Greyhounds 
coasted  to  their  win.  Rod  Ware  was 
walked  in  the  seventh  inning.  Doug 
Tilley  sacrificed  him  to  third  base 
and  Ware  then  stole  home  to  score 
the  only  run  of  the  afternoon  for  the 
Maroon  and   Black.

THE  WASHINGTON  ELM 


MONDAY.  APRIL  28,  1952 


Robinson 
To  Direct 
Publicity 

The  establishment  of  a  Publiciiy 
Office  for  Washington  College  has 
been  announced  by  Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gib- 
son, president.  Spencer  Robinson, 
executive  secrctar>'  of  the  Alumni  As- 
sociation, has  been  named  as  dire 
and  will  handle  all  publicity  releases 
about  the  college. 

In  an  interview  for  the  ELM,  Mr. 
Robinson  slated  that  the  aims  of  the 
office  would  be  "to  keep  the  public 
informed  about  what  is  coing  on 
Washtnglon  College."  The  office  is 
being  set  up  in  answer  to  many  re- 
qucMs  i>n  the  pan  of  alumni 
would  like  to  sec  more  publicity 
about  the  , college  in  the  papers  of 
Marjland    and    surrounding    states. 

Pn-is  releases  will  go  out  from  the 
school  cvcr>'  ^vcck  to  all  weekly  pa- 
pers in  Maryland  and  dailies  in  Bal- 
timore, Washington,  D.  C,  and  Wil- 
mington. They  ^^^ll  also  go  to  the 
Associated  Press  and  the  United  Press. 

The  office  hopes  to  have  a  com- 
plete sports  coverage  for  college  ath- 
letic activities  and  plans  to  issue  a 
bulletin  for  the  seasonal  sports  with 
write-ups  on  the  coaches  and  the  vari- 
ous team  statistics.  These  bulletins 
will  be  sent  to  schools  that  Wash- 
ingrton  College  will  meet  in  some  sort 
of  athletic   contest, 

Mr.  Robinson  plans  to  keep  the 
office  open  during  the  summer  and 
at  that  time  will  make  plans  for  en- 
larging the  scope  of  the  press  releases 
for  next  year.  To  date  he  has  plans 
for  feature  stories  about  the  history 
of  the  college,  inter\'iew  with  profes- 
sors and  facts  concerning  the  policies 
of  the  administration. 

Two  assistants  to  the  office  have 
been  appointed  thus  far.  Jane  Brad- 
ley will  aid  in  the  writing  of  the  re- 
leasts  and  Bill  Slagle  will  take  charsc 
of  issuing  the  releases.  Work  has  been 
started  on  the  new  project  this  week 
and  will  continue  until  June.

Every  year  around  this  time  there 
a  great  wailing  and  knashing  of 
teeth  over  the  loss  of  the  senior  class. 
"This  old  school  won't  be  the  same. 
Every  ^'character"'  on  the  campus  will 
be  leaving  in  June."  You  may  have 
heard  this  alrrady.  Well,  take  my 
word  for  it — it  ain't  so! 

Thcrt:  is  something  about  this  school 
that  creates  individuality.  I  have  yet 
to  meet  two  people  in  the  same  cate- 
gory. In  my  freshman  year  we  be- 
moaned the  loss  of  the  "only  co- 
hesive elements  in  the  school"  and 
the  next  year  we  were  quite  as  dis- 
traught over  "the  remnants  of  those" 
who  held  the  school  togetlier.  How- 
ever, Washington  College  has  some- 
how managed  lo  survive  in  spite  of  the 
withdrawals   of  students. 

This  year  we  find  an  impetus  in 
the  incoming  class  that  may  be  thi 
beginning  of  a-  comaraderic  wilhii 
classes  instead  of  a  hero  worship  of 
the  ones  ahead  of  us.  This  class  has 
Is  own,  carried  more  spirit  thai 
any  I  have  witnessed  (except  the  sen- 
ior class  of  course)!  They  felt,  at 
first,  a  little  left  out  since  the  fresh- 
greeting  dance  has  somehow  be- 
come a  meeting  place,  more  for  re- 
turning students,  than  a  greeting  place 
for  the  incoming  ones.  So — they  had  a 
class  party — which  I  understand  was 
quite  a  success. 

This  annual  fall  ODK  dance  was 
originally  for  the  purpose  of  helping 
orient  freshmen.  Now,  why  the 
cr  students  stay  in  cliques  is  be- 
yond me.  Perhaps  they  feel  that  they 
lack  the  social  graces  to  make  new 
friends  or  do  they  feel  too  superior  to 

"high  school  kid?" 
Be  that  as  it  may,  the  freshmen  took 
it  upon  themselves  to  make  the  school 
know  them  if  they  weren't  to  be 
greeted  by  the  upperclassmen. 
Mohammed  didn't  come  to  the 

tain etc."    Well,  during  the 

freshman  week  when  all  but  a  hand- 
ful of  sophomores  had  locked  them- 
selves up  securely,  the  freshmen  call- 
on  the  seniors  to  come  play.  Al- 
though it  aged  them  ten  years,  these 
decrepit  old  men  went  out  ,to  join 
the  games  and  found  that  thice  oth- 
ers from  the  two  classes  not  men- 
tioned, joined  them. 

Alter  this  the  freshmen  held  sev- 
eral smaller  intra-class  parties  and 
are  now  culminating  the  most  suc- 
cessful year  of  any  class  by  the  "Car- 
nation Ball."  The  work  they  have  put 
into  this  atTair  puts  the  rest  of  us  to 
shame.  It  may  be  the  best  dance  of 
the  year.

proceeds— if  any?  They  plan  to  give 
le  new  class  next  year  a  party.  They 
;ould  rather  not  have  them  feel  quite 
..s  left  out  as  they  themselves  felt. 
With  this  kind  of  spirit  being  backed 
by  the  work  that  has  been  done 
this  year,  the  only  ones  left  out  will 
be    the    upper   level   students. 

If  I  were  a  member  of  the  present 
junior  or  sophomore  class  I  would 
thcr  get  out  and  try  to  show  what 
superior  class  is,  or  hibernate  until 
time  to  graduate.  If  the  latter  is  your 
solution  I  suggest  that  you  lake  sum- 
courses  to  gel  out  quick  because 
that  freshman  class  might  run  right 
over  you.  That  could  prove  disas- 
trous. 

But  one  word  of  warning  to  the 
freshmen.  Keep  up  the  spirit,  back  it 
with  work,  but  don't  get  carried  away. 
You've  made  a  fine  impression  now, 
don't  get  ahead  of  yourselves.  Cer- 
tain ways  of  doing  things  are  tradi- 
tional at  W.C.  and  until  you're  sure 
you've  got  something  better,  don't 
try  to  change   them. 

Whatever  you  do — don't  take  up  the 
tradition  of  destructive  criticism.  Don't 
come  up  with  any  "Festered  Lilies" 
unless  you  have  something  a  Httle 
less  fragrant  to  take  their  pla 

So  we  get  back  to  the  original  topic 
of  losing  campus  "characters."  George 
Washington  probably  bemoaned  the 
loss  of  the  senior  class  when  he  gave 
that  50  guineas,  but  the  school  is  still 
here,  so  I  doubt  if  it  will  close  its 
doors  through  the  loss  of  a  few  more 
students  this  year.  You  have  some- 
thing started — and  remember  this — 
that  if  you  particularly  care  for  any 
of  those  seniors  that  are  leaving 
you  want  to  sec  them  come  back 
just  keep  giving  them  the  same  sort 
of  spirit  you  have  begun.  Those  that 
give  you  that  "I'll  never  come  back 
to  this  place  again"  act  aren't  worth 
trying  to  entire  an>-way.  They'll  nev- 
er enjoy  anything  or  any  place  and 
they  make  it  as  miserable  as  hell  for 
those  who  have  to  listen  to  their  pct- 
iiings.  If  they  disliked  it  so 
much,  why,  in  the  name  of  heaven, 
did  they  stay  for  four  years?  You 
could  bet  your  bottom  dollar  nobody 
begged  them. 

Don't  let  these  people  get  you  into 
It  attitude  of  sitting  on  their»over- 
ed  posteriors  and  complaining  that 
somebody  should  h.ivc  done  something. 
You've  heard  every  possible  manner 
of  complaint  from  us — now  show  us 
up  and  do  something  about  it.  You've 
shown  us  that  you  can  do  it — now 
show  us  that  you've  got  the  guts  lo 
keep  it  up.  We  need  some  new  blos- 
soms on  the  campus  but  we  havi-  a

SATURDAY,  MAY  3,  19.')2 


Fund  Survey  Results 
Announced  To  Students 


For  the  past  year  there  has  been  much  discussion  on  the 
future  of  Washington  College  in  terms  of  optimum  size,  income 
for  current  expenses  and  capital  investment.  The  plans  outlined 
for  the  college,  however,  have  just  been  a  discussion  of  possibilities 
and  long  range  planning.    No  positive  action  has  been  taken. 

Ii  is  hoped  that  the  sludent  bodyO- 
will  be  enlarged  to  include  from  500 — 
to  600  members.  The  full  realization 
of  this  may  not  come,  however,  until 
1958.  Nevertheless,  with  this  in  mind 
provision  would  have  to  be  made  re- 
garding dormitories. 

Plans  have  been  drawn  for  a  new 
women's  dorm  that  would  house  100 
girls,  and  two  wings  for  Somerset 
House  that  were  included  with  the 
architect's  drawing.  Other  possibilities 
for  more  housing  would  come  from 
the  gutting  of  East,  Middle  and  West 
Halls  and  rebuilding  the  entire  in- 
terior of  those  dorms  for  men.  , 

With  an  enlarged  student  body  plans 
would  also  have  to  include  more  din- 
ing facilities.  This  could  entail  the 
possible  extension  of  the  back  wing  of 
Hodson  Hall  and  the  use  of  both  the 
first  and  second  floors  for  dining 
purposes.  This  again  would  pose  the 
need  for  some  sort  of  student  union 
building  to  include  a  theater,  snack 
bar  and  recreation  facilities.  This  also 
presents  a  possibihiy  of  converting  the 
present  auditorium  into  two  floors 
of  classrooms  and  offices.  The  possibili- 
ty of  a  field  house  is  also  included. 

-Ml  of  this  long  range  planning  is  in 
direct  relation  with  the  recent  survey 
made  by  Martz  and  Lundy,  Inc..  n 
fund  raising  agency  in  New  York. 
This  organization  was  authorized  by 
the  Board  of  Visitors  and  Governors 
to  inter\'iew  alumni,  friends  and  par- 
ents of  students  of  the  college  lo  get 
an  idea  of  how  these  groups  would 
react  to  a  possible  fund  raising  cam-

IT  DOES  COUNT! 

"A  large  part  of  mankind  regard  government  as  a  function  to 
be  performed  by  someone  else  with  wliom  they  have  little  or  no 
concern,  as  ihe  janitor  of  an  apartment  house  uhoni  somebody  or 
other  hired  to  keep  out  thieves  and  to  keep  the  furnace  running." 

This  statement  by  Elihu  Root  pretty  aceurately  sums  up  the 
attitude  of  many  Americans  toward  the  business  of  voting.  It  is 
incredible  but  true  that  many  persons  boast  of  America's  democ- 
racy in  one  breath  and  in  the  next,  admit  tliey  never  vote. 

To  the  majority  of  Washington  College  students,  this  Novem- 
ber will  be  their  first  chance  to  participate  in  a  presidential  elec- 
tion, nr  any  election  for  that  matter.  We  cannot  put  enough  em- 
phasis on  the  importance  of  their  taking  this  priviledge  into  hand 
and  exercising  it. 

In  the  1944  Presidential  election  only  about  55'"/^  of  the  voterv 
tumcd  out.  A  total  of  thirty  eight  and  a  half  million  Americans 
spurned  their  right  to  vote.  In  the  1948  Presidcnual  election  ii 
was  worse.    Only  about  52''r  of  the  voters  turned  out. 

One  often  hears  the  question— "Oh.  what  difference  does  my 
vote  make?"  The  question  is  quickly  answered  by  historians. 
'■Thomas  Jefferson  was  elected  President  by  one  vote  in  the  elec- 
toral college.  So  was  John  Quincy  Adams.  Rutherford  B.  Haye^ 
was  elected  President  by  one  vote.  The  man  who  cast  the  deciding 
\ote  for  Hayes  was  a  congressman  from  Indiana,  a  lawyer  who  was 
elected  to  office  by  the  margin  of  one  vote.  The  one  vote  cast  from 
him  was  from  a  client,  who  tliougli  desperately  ill,  insisted  on  be- 
ing taken  to  the  polls!" 

So.  Washington  Collegians  who  are  ch'gible,  take  it  from 
hiuor\'.  Your  vote  docs  count.  And  futhermorr,  you  who  have 
been  criticising  the  government  will  Iiavc  the  opportunity  to  do 
something  about  it  in  November  besides  just  talk.  If  you  hav< 
not  registered  already,  do  so  at  once  and  become  one  of  America's 
truly  patriotic  citizens.

c|o  Letters  to  the  Editor 

Washington  Ebn  / 

Washington  College 

Mr.  Editor, 

With  pen  in  hand  I  hereby  lake  my 
chances  of  being  labeled  a  "festered 
lily." 

I  refer  of  course  to  your  last  sentence 
as  it  appeared  in  tbe  .Sports  fiigb 
liglMs  column  of  the  last  issue  of  the 
ELM.  Perhaps  I  am  not  the  one  to 
call  attention  to  this,  but  it  seems  that 
the  intent  is  clear  when  iiole  is  made 
of  the  cxrcssive  and  irrcvcleiu  piuiriua- 
tion.  I  feel  very  strongly  that  someone 
shoidd  close  the  Editor  in  Chief's  gate 
thai  must  ha\'c  been  ignored  through 
laziness  or  naivcncss. 

To  my  mind,  poor  lasic  is  not 
a  common  enough  adjective  to  describe 
vour  choice  of  words  and  to  tie  this 
quote  to  one  by  Graniland  Rice  is 
t(Ki  much. 
The  real  purpose  of  'this  i-alhcr 
nted  letter.  Mr,  Doyd,  is  not  to 
;Ki(e  or  belittle  you.  but  rather  |o 
lit  out  (hat  a  former  associate 
M.iiis  on  the  ELM  .staff  would  like 
see  you  rise  above  gi'ade-school 
iiiicnts  in  an  otherwise  very  inter- 
(ig  column. 

Sincerely.

Things 

In  General 


by  Bob  Brink 

e  alarm  clock  wi 


olT  ibi 


■ning   and    I 


liced    that    it 


aining,  I  decided  to  stay  in  bed 
and  cut  my  9:15.  Little  did  I  realize 
the  consequences.  Vl'hen  I  arrived  at 
the  snack  bar  I  found  that  Bill  Trciith 
bad  taken  a  message  for  me  out  of  the 
Phi  Sig  box  (which  is  not  my  mailing 
addrcs.s>  which  informed  mc  that  1 
owed  the  college  SIO.OO  in  overcuis 
and  would  not  be  permitted  to  take 
exams  unless  this  money  were  forth- 
coming. This  was  the  fii^st  notificaiion 
ihai  I  had  received  all  year  regarding 
overcuis  and.  needless  to  say,  it  came 
as  somcihing  of  a  surprise.  Fortunately, 
I  discovered  that  mosi  of  ihose  ab- 
sences were  recorded  for  assembly 
which  seniors,  so  I  have  been  led  10  be- 
lieve, aren't  required  to  attend.  But 
1  did  discover,  on  going  back  to  the 
snack  bar,  that  I  wasn't  the  only  stu- 
dent to  receive  a  love  letter  from  the 
registrar's  office.  It  seems  that  all  sorts 
of  people  were  suddenly  discovering 
that  they  owed  the  school  from  live  10 


twelve  dollars  for  unexcuscd  absences. 
Most  of  the  ones  I  talked  to  seemed 
greatly  surprised  and  claimed  that  this 
was  also  their  first  notification  of 
overcuis.  Now  there  was  a  time  when 
he  registrar's  office  w'as  very  good 
bout  such  things.  Whenever  I  ipok 
one  overcut  in  a  course  1  promptly 
reccii'ed  notice  ihat  I  ow'ed  the  school 
0  bucks.  That  loss  of  money  usually 
shocked  me  enough  to  keep  mc  from 
going  overboard  and  cutting  any  more, 
or  to  the  point  where  an  automatic  F 
was  forlbcoming.  If  1  was  aiva*e  that 
I  had  four  cuts  in  a  three  hour  course 
and  didn't  get  an  overcnl  slip  I  assum- 
ed that  I  had  gotten  away  with  it  and 
promptly  forgot  the  matter.  Now  it 
seems  that  tbe  people  in  ihe  office  arc 
letting  these  matters  go  by  until  the 
amount  owed  approaches  a.sironomical 
figures  (for  a  student,  that  is)  and, 
wone  yet,  approaches  the  point  svhcre 
the  dean  is  required  to  hand  out  an 
automatic  F  to  the  student.  With  less 
(ban  three  weeks  of  classes  left,  that 
prospect  doesn't  particularly  appeal  to 
me.  I  for  one  am  in  favor  of  return- 
ing to  a  pay  as  yon  go  system  (if,  in- 
deed, this  is  a  new  system  thai  is  now 
in  operation)  svhich  I  am  sure  most 
of  us  find  much  less  painful  and 
shocking  and  which  does  not  allow 
IIS  to  get  nearly  as  close  to  ih^"sudden 
death"  F  without  being  fully  aware 
that  We  are  rapidly  reaching  it. 

This  being  the  season  when  most  of 
the  clubs  have  banquets,  I  am  afraid 
that  I  will  go  down  in  defeat  in  my 
aitcinpt  to  gci  ai  l(^ast  a  couple  of  the 
organizations  to  eat  somewhere  else  for 
a  change.  Tbe  attitude  of  the  manage- 
ment at  the  usual  place  has  obviously 
become  less  and  less  favorable  toward 
college  students  and  their  food,  despite 
tbe  number  of  people  who  swear  by  it, 
is  not  the  best  in  world  by  long  shot. 
The  people  who  run  the  Georgetown 
establishment  no  longer  welcome  us 
with  open  arms  and,  at  limes,  seem 
barely  able  to  tolerate  us.  I  .suppose 
bat  tJiey  have  their  reasons  though. 
One  of  the  men  up  there  was  lelling 
me  a  few  days  ago  thai  they  frankly 
have  had  a  lot  of  trouble  with  some 
of  tbe  college  crowd.  A  certain  element 
among  the  student  body  apparently 
has  absolutely  no  respect  for  private 
property  and  will  take  anything  from 
silverware  lo  mounted  mallards  home 
with  them  as  souvenieis.  Tliis  conies 
as  no  great  surprise  to  anyone  who  has 
ever  been  foolish  enough  to  leave  a 
dropping  fimnel  or  other  such  treasur- 
ed apparatu-  lying  unguarded  on  his 
chemistry  lab  desk  for  a  few  minutes. 
I  suppose  its  the  same  old  story.

"All  Ihe  World's  a  stage."  says 
Shakespeare.  In  "My  Sister  Eileen" 
Ihe  final  attraction  of  the  season  lor 
The  Washington  Players,  an  infinitely 
smaller  stage  is  used,  but  somehow 
it  seems  that  a  good  portion  of  tbe 
New  York  world  passes  across  ihat 
,tagc.  This  produces  much  confusion, 
noise  and  excitement.  But  it  is  all 
good  fun  and  that  is  what  The  Players 
;  playwrights  (Fields  and  Chod- 
orov)    intended    it    to    be. 

In  the  midst  of  tbe  excitement,  an 
tercsttng  variety  of  personalities 
make  theroselves  known  to  the  audi- 
ence. Two  innocent  but  determined 
young  girls  (played  by  Elinor  Cus- 
tafson  and  Eleanor  Dryden)  from  Col. 
umbus,  Ohio,  arc  the  central  attrac- 
tion. Their  lives  arc  made  cbaoiic 
by  a  Greek  landlord  (Gregory  Sophoc- 
leus),  a  football  wreck  from  Georgia 
Tech  (Alan  Esierby),  a  drugstore 
clerk  (Mhcri  Condello),  a  pcrsisteni 
newspaper  reporter  (Peic  Burbage).  a 
disreuptable  woman  with  a  heart  of 
gold  tinsel  (Kay  Heighe  Ahcrn)  and 
many  others,  including  [our  "admirals" 
from  Portugal  (Djahanbani,  Mctcalf, 
Crespo,  and  Smith), 

In  spite'  of  the  large  cast,  each  per- 
son Is  a  distinct  personality.  It  reflects 
much  credit  on  The  Wa.sbington  Play- 
ers that  thcy  bad  the  talent  for  such 
a  variety  of  personalities  and  on  Hel- 
en Roc,  who  directed  the  play,  for 
making  ihat  variety  come  to  life  on 
the  stage. 


.  The  rapid  pace  of  the  play  was  effec- 
tively set  bv  Miss  Gustafson  and  Miss 
Dryden-  Despite  the  competition  of  the 
"Broatfvay"  personalities  ihat  continu- 
ly  appeared  from  all  paru  of  the 
stage,  the  co-stars  managed  to  keep 
ibeir  characterizations  the  center  of 
attraction. 

According  to  the  book,  the  landlord. 
Mr.  Appopolous,  was  supposed  to  be 
a  "lingual  Bouillabaisse."  A  look  into 
the  dictionary  discovered  this  defini- 
tion: Bouillabaisse,  a  highly  seasoned 
fish  chowder  of  two  kinds  of  fish. 
Evidently.  Appopolous  was  supposed 
to  speak  in  a  mixed  dialect.  Gregory 
Sophocleus,  who  played  the  part,  omit- 
ted tbe  dialect,  but  bis  characteri/atiot^ 
still  managed  to  be  Bouillabaisse,  a 
mixiure  of  landlord  and  artist — iwo 
kinds  of  fish— thus  providing  some  fine 


Pete  Burbage  as  Chick  Clark  played 
ihc    part    of    a    not-too;dangeroiis    cad 

h  real  finesse.  There  were  moments 
when  Mr.  Burbage  looked  and  sounded 
like  Jimmy  Stewart.  His  pursuit  ol 
Eileen  in  the  second  aci  was  especially 
good. 

Better  than  competent  performances 
came  from  Alan  Easitrrby  as  Wreck. 
Kay  Heighe  Ahern  as  Violet,  Site  .Sam- 
uels, Grace  Iselc,  Marion  Waterman, 
Bob  Farley,  E.  A.  Colitti,  AI  Shotklev, 
Harvey  Samis,  Wayne  Oruehn,  Ralph 
Shillingburg  and  Roy  MacDonald, 

Non-acting  credits  go  to  Phyllis 
Seitz  (assistant  director),  Dorothy  Willis 


(make-up).  AI  Vinyard  (lighting). 
Dutch  Spanagel  (staging),  Henry  Flynn 
(props),  Eleanor  Dormand  (costumes), 
Wayne  Gruen  (sound  effects)  and  Mr. 
Brubakcr  (advisor).  Special  mention 
should  be  made  of  tbe  sound  effects. 
They  provided  the  only  pauses  (except 
for  laughs)  in  the  otherwise  breathless 
pace  of  the  comedy. 

Many  years  have  passed  since  "My 
Sister  Eileen"  had  its  first  Broadway 
production  on  December  26,  I^IO. 
When  firs!  written,  it  was  evidently 
intended  as  a  caricature  of  the  Bohem- 
ian life  of  Greewich  Village.  Those 
days  belong  to  the  past  but  the  play 
still  provides  more  than  enough 
comedy  to  keep  an  audience  busy  for 
iwo  hours.  The  Washington  Players 
dcmonsirated  that  they  have  the  direct- 
ing, acting  and  staging  talent  to  bring 
it   to  life  again. 

The  Players  can  m;irk  up  another 
successful  season.

TheG.O.P. 
Political  Pot 


Lasi  Ociober  wiih  ihc  "big  election" 
still  one  year  off.  political  chiefs  had 
already  turned  up  the  fire  on  the  po- 
litical stoves  aod  the  pot  boiled  merri- 
ly, Republicaivs  were  particulary  noii- 
ceable  for  ihcy  were  in  the  middle  of 
a  irand  glorious  party  split.  At  thai 
date  Taft  had  already  entered  the  big 
race  and  Eisenhower  was  expectca  to 
do  so  by  the  first  of  the  year.  Commeni 
was  being  raised  on  what  damage  Mr. 
McCarthy  might  do  to  the  Republican 
party  with  his  •'witch  hunts'  [he  talk 
of  the  daily  newspapers. 

Major  issue  during  the  fall  was  cor- 
ruption in  government.  The  Republi- 
cans had  plenty  on' the  Democrats  wiili 
the  R.F.C.  investigation,  and  the  Dem- 
ocrats were  digging  up  nasiy  items  here 
and  there  on  dirty  G.O.I',  politics.  .\ 
clean-up  of  government  wa*  the  main 
plank  in  both  party  platffvips.  In 
November  the  Republicans  were  still 
shaking.  No  one  knew  what  General 
Eisenhower  (voiild  do.  whether  he  was 
a  Republican  or  even  if  he  was.  wheth- 
er or  not  he  would  accept  the  nomina- 
tion. Headlines  mentioned  his  "draft", 
the.  possibility  that  he  could  split  the 
.south,  and  the  hope  that  lie  might  con- 
sider it  his  duty  to  run.  .As  far  as 
"Mr.  Republican".  Robert  A.  Taft, 
was  concerned,  political  leaders  could 
not  decide  what  to  do,  Ihcy  either 
supported  him  all  the  way.  ur  ran  him 
into  the  ground  as  far  as  [xwsible. 

November  al.so  brought  a  third  con- 
tender to  the  eyes  of  the  Republicans. 
Governor  Earl  \\'arren  of  Clalifornia 
with  70  convention  delegates  in  his 
pocket  entered  the  race  to  split  the 
parly  a  little  bit  more.  At  the  same 
lime  Senator  Lotlge  was  named  chair- 
man of  the  Eisenhower  commiiiee. 
Taft  was  making  statements  on  foreign 
policy  that  raised  a  storm  of  protest 
and  looked  like  isolationism. 

The  Christmas  season  brought  the 
political  stew  to  a  nenous  simmer. 
CO, P.  leaders  who  were  supporting 
"Ike"  began  to  think  maybe  ihey  were 
out  on  a  weak  limb,  .\II  he  was 
■willing  to  .say  was  that  he  had  not  yet 
decided  what  to  do.  Popular  senators 


on  Capitol  Hill  came  out  with  predic- 
tions that  "Ike"  was  the  only  man  that 
could  possibly  win.  The  Gallup  Poll 
showed  the  need  of  the  Independent 
voters  to  botli  parties.  28^0  of  those 
who  would  participate  in  the  Presi- 
dential election  were  not  registered 
yvith  any  party.  This  equals  about 
fifteen  and  a  half  million  voters,  who 
would  be  swayed  by  the  best  political 
sales   talk. 

At  the  same  time  the  South  was 
drawing  attention.  Their  only  an- 
nouncement was  to  the  effect  that  ihcy 
would  do  anything  to  defeat  Truman, 
Republicans  wondered  if  they  might 
form  a  coalition  with  the  Eisenhower 
men. 

In  January  a  fourth  split  came  to 
the  Republicans,  Harold  Ste.ssen  who 
had  been  backing  Eisenhower  threw 
his  hat  in  the  ring  as  a  nominee  for 
President.  Some  wondered  if  it  was 
just  to  split  the  Taft  vote  or  whether 
he  really  thought  he  could  win.  Then 
came  the  spring  thaw,  Eisenhower 
finally  accepted  and  his  name  was  en- 
tered on  the  ballou  of  the  New  Hamp- 
sliirc  primary.  Republicans  who  h.id 
been  out  on  the  limb  threw  up  ,i 
hearty  yeU  and  set  ,  their  campaign 
headquarters  working  day  and  night 
to  make  up  for  lost  time. 

Since  that  date  primaries  that  have 
put  Taft  and  Eisenhower  way  out  in 
front  have  captured  all  political  head- 
lines. Eisenhower  still  has  plenty  to 
say  on  what  his  stand  will  be  on  the 
National  Issues,  In  fact,  Mr.  Taft  has 
challenged  him  to  come  out  with  his 
platform.  Warren  has  remained  in 
California,  doing  his  job  as  governor 
and  by  that  very  act,  staying  in  the 
political  limelight  as  a  good  worker. 
Latest  reports  on  the  Stassen  show  a 
bit  of  uncertainty  as  to  just  what  he 
will  do.  One  day  he  is  splitting  Taft 
votes,  the  next  he's  on  his  own.  To 
date  he  is  still  a  candidate,  but  any- 
thing can  happen. 

The  Republican  pot  is  really  boiling 
but  no  one  will  be  sure  just  what  will 
come  out  of  it  until  covention  time, 
All  we  can  do  is  waiti

Maryott  Will  Keynote 
Forensic  Convention 


The  coming  Republican  National 
Convention  on  May  7tli  wil|  feature 
one  of  the  most  ardent  supporters  n( 
the  "Grand  0!d  Party"  on  the  Wash- 
ington campus  in  the  person  of  Don 
Maryott.  Don.  in  addition  to  being 
a  member  of  the  Young  Republican's 
Club,  is  also  a  member  of  the  choir 
and  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  fraternity.  Hi* 
will  deliver  the  keynote  speech  of  tht 
convention,  which  he  feels  in  appicv 
priately  entitled  "Let's  Clear  the 
Decks". 

Don.  an  avid  Eisenhower  supporter, 
believes  that  one  of  the  major  di- 
cisions  that  the  American  voter  must 
nake  in  the  coming  election  is — 
What  party,  on  the  basis  of  previous 
records,  has  been  most  strongly  op- 
-posed  to  Communism  and  its  spread?" 
He  feels  that  a  proper  evaluation  of 
this,  and  other  basic  is.sues.  will  lead 
the  -American  public  to  place  a  Re- 
publican president  in  the  White  House 
n  '.^3. 

As  keynote  speaker  of  the  l^onven- 
ion.  Maroyott  holds  the  position  of 
party  speaker"  and  is  official  opener 
of  the  affair.  Keynoters  for  Republican 
National  Conventions  in  the  past,  have 


Don  Maryott 
usually    been    outstanding    party    men 
rather      than      particular      candidate 
rooters,  1  he  job  of  this  speaker  is  to 
incite  party  unity  at  the  convention 
to  request   support   no  matter  who 
selected  to  represent  the  party  on  the 
general  election    ticket. 


What's  In  A  Convention 


Ei^ien  interested  students  on  cam- 
pan  formed  a  Young  Republicans  Club 
here  which  will  lie  a  part  of  the  Young 
RcpTiWican's  National  Federation.  The

of  the  group  and  introduced  the  four 
guest  speakers  for  the  evening.  They 
were  Mr,  J.  Paull  Marshall,  State 
Chairman  of  the  Young  Republican's 
Club  of  Maryland,  Mrs,  Grace  Hildreth 
National  Committee  Woman  for  Mary- 
land, Mrs.  Kitty  Mas-senburg,  Secretary 
of  the  Slate  Central  Committee  and 
Bill  McMullen,  President  of  the  Young 
Republicans  Club  at  Johns  Hopkins. 
Mr.  A,  Parka  Raisin,  spokesman  ol 
-Kent  County  Republican^  also  spoke 
to  the  group. 

An  informal  discussion  waa  held  for 
the  benefit  of  the  students  who  re- 
ceived advice  from  the  Young  Republi. 
can  officials  on  how  to  set  up  their 
organiiation. 

The  Kit>up  appointed  Charles  Wac- 
sehe,  temporary  chairman  and  A.  J, 
Carr  secretary-pro- tern.  A  nominating 
committee  was  set  up  to  draw  up  a 
state  of  ofTiceTS  to  be  voted  on  at  the 
next  meeting.  A  Constitutional-By-lawj 
comtniitee  was  also  appointed  lo  draw 
up  the  conititution^for  thcfreup- 


"The  right  of  popular  government 
is  incomplete,  unless  it  includes  the 
right  of  the  voters  not  merely  to 
choose  between  candidates  when  they 
have  been  nominated  but  also  the 
right  to  determine  who  these  candi- 
s  shall  be."  This  statement,  made 
by  former  president  of  the  U.  S.  The- 
odore Roosevelt,  is  carried  out  with 
the  event  of  the  National  Convention. 
s  this  body,  composed  of  repre- 
sentative delegates  from  every  state  in 
the  union  and  all  American  possessions 
that  chooses  the  hnalist  for  their  par- 
ticular party  for  the  November  elec- 
tion. 

The  convention  consists  of  approx- 
imately 1200  delegates.  These  repre- 
sent twice  the  number  of  senators 
and  representatives  of  each  state  plus 
bonuses  for  states  who  have  had  a 
good  year  for  the  particular  party 
having  the  convention.  These  dele- 
gates are  chosen  in  various  ways  ac- 
cording to  the  counties  or  the  state's 
discretion.  They  may  cither  be  elect- 
ed in  the  primaries  by  those  who 
participate  in  that  election  or  they 
may  be  chosen  by  a  central  commit- 
tee for  the  county.  In  some  stales, 
including  Maryland,  the  primary 
elected  stale  delegates  attend  a  stale 
convcmion  where  delegates  to  the 
National  Convention  are  choMn,  mak- 
ing it  a  thrcc-itcp  process.

tion, the  campaigning  gets  underway

who  is  a  prominent  party  member. 
His  speech  most  often  takes  the  form 
I  of  boosting  the  party  in  general.  He

rather,  provides  jVgood  party  back-

es are  made  for  all  candidates  with 
a  good  number  of  "favorite  sons"  in-

serious  contenders  for  the  nomina- 
tion. Following  numerous  demon- 
strations from  the  various  state  dclc- 
gaiioni  in  support  of  a  particular 
candidate  the  balloting  gets  under 
way.  This  is  done  by  the  roll  call 
method  with  the  State  Chairmans  an- 
swering for  their  delegation.  The  first 
ballot  does  not  usually  contain  a 
majority  for  any  candidate  as  those

Who's  Who  In  '52  For  G,O.P,  Candidate 


Mr.  Republican  Of  '52 
For  Positive  Action! 


Stassen's 
SoM  DoUar 


First  lo  mss  the  proverbial  hat  in 
the  ring,  Robert  Tafi.  Ohio  Scnaior, 
has  been  numbr  one  contender  for  the 
Republican  nomination  since  last  fall. 
He  has  reported  strong  backing  from 
old  line  Rcpubhcans  and  has  come  out 
as  one  of  the  lop  men  in  the  primaries 
to  date  "Senator  Bob"  as  he  is  known 
to  many  of  hi.;  constituents,  has  an 
excellent  background  for  the  job  he  is 
seeking.  He  is  the  son  of  a  President.  Allanuc  Ui 
has  been  in  Congress  long  enough  to 
know  liow  legislation  Ls  managed,  and 
seems  lo  have  the  appeal  of  staunch 
Republicans.  On  the  other  hand,  ii  has 
been  said  of  Tafi,  that  he  Is  cither 
followed  |o  the  hilt,  or  violently  dis- 
liked. His  most  talked  of  policy  is  hi* 
leaning  louard  isolationism  for  .Ameri- 
ca, which  is  in  direct  opposition  to 
present  day  foreign  polic>'. 

Tad  has  taken  a  strong  stand  on 
all  domestic  policies.  He  advocates  low 
rent  housing  with  the  help  of  Federal 
Aid,  thinks  taxes  should  be  reduced 
and  ihe  budget  cut.  He  states  that 
there  are  too  manv  non-essential  items 
in  the  present  government  economy, 
that  the  elimination  of  these  would 
reduce  the  public  debt  and  high  taxes. 
He  believes  that  Social  Security  is 
essential  and  should  be  extended  to 
more  people  and  that  the  Federal 
Government  should  give  aid  to  the 
public  schools  bm  not  to  private  or 
parochial    institutions.    ,-Ml    in   all    his 


domestic  program  includes  a  good  deal 
of  Federal  .Aid,  yel  a  sizeable  cut  in  the 
present  budget. 

Taft's  foreign  policy  has  caused  the 
most  discussion.  He  opposes  the  Mar- 
shall Plan  on  the  grounds  that  Euro- 
pean nations  are  able  to  take  rare  of 
themselves.  "We  can't  go  on  support- 
ing Europe  and  keep  our  own  econo- 
my." His  comments  on  the  North 
ion — "Since  we  belong  to 
the  North  Atlantic  union  we  must 
make  it  as  strong  as  possible,  so  as  to 
oppose  Russian  aggression  in  Europe." 
He  is  not  particularly  strong  on  any 
foreign  issue  but  prefers  to  discuss  the 
domestic  problems  with  the  .American 
people. 

As  a  party  man,  Taft  has  been  in 
the  political  limelight  for  a  good  many 
vears,  serving  as  senator  of  Ohio  and 
winning  primary  after  primary',  elec- 
tion after  election  in  that  state.  He  was 
Ohio's    favorite  son    candidate   in    the 
IWO  G.O.P.  nomination  and  was  rim- 
er   up    to   Thomas    E.    Dewey    in    the 
1948  Presidential  Nominating  Conven- 
tion. He  is  well  known  in  hb  senatorial 
capacity  as  being  the  co-auihor  of  the 
Taft-Hartley    Law,    -At    present    he 
Chairman    of    the    Senate    Republii 
Policy  Committee,   and   sencs  on 
Labfir  and  Public  Welfare  and  Finance 
Committees  and  on  the  Joint  Com' 
tec   of    the    Economic    Report    in 
82nd  Congress. 


.Although  his  entrance  into  tlu-  po- 
litical race  for  president  has  been 
quisliont-d  by  many  people  as  to  his 
motives,  Harold  E.  Stasscn,  President 
uf  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  has 
i.ikcn  an  unusually  dcfinile  stand  on 
iIk'  major  issue  of  the  coming  contest. 
Wc  mention  questioning  his  motives 
—  it  has  been  hard  to  say  whether  or 
not  Stasscn  entered  the  race  to  split 
the  votes  for  Taft,  or  for  his  own  bcn- 
ctii.  Previous  to  tossing  his  hat  in 
ihi'  ring,  Stasscn  advocated  Eiscnhow- 
(  r  for  the  top  job.  Latest  rumors  have 
it  that  he  still  has  that  feeling  toward 
thi-  General.  However,  he  also  still 
li.is  a  platform  that  needs  consider;i- 
tion  before  convention  delegates  taVe 
(he  final  ballot. 

Stasscn  has  buih  his  stand  on  ma- 
jor   issues   around    four   major  planks 

1 :   A  modern  gold  standard  for  a 

solid  American  dollar—  2:  An  honest 
administration  of  the  national  govcrn- 
nicnt —  3:  Profit  sharing  with  eni- 
ployces  throughout  American  Busi- 
ness and  Less  Tax  Paying  to  the  Fed- 
eral Government — 4:  A  new,  up  to 
date  American  Foreign  Policy.  A 
breakdown  of  these  stands  follows; 
1 —  A  modern  gold  standard  for  a 
solid  American  dollar. 
End  the  climbing  prices  which 
arc  causing  so  much  trouble  in

Leading  the  box  score,  according  to 
the  New  York  Times,  is  America's 
number  one  General,  who  has  stacked 
flp  more  delegates  by  not  campaigning 
than  all  the  others  who  have  made 
the  political  tours.  Known  to  most  as 
"Ike"  the  outstanding  characteristic 
of  this  man  as  a  candidate  for  presi- 
dent is  his  ability  to  unite  success- 
fiillv,  all  sorts  of  nationalities  and 
Hiciions.  He  has  not  said  a  word  to 
I  he  American  people  as  yci  that  might 
\it;  considered  as  campaign  material. 
\ll  of  his  strength  has  been  gathered 
)\  what  British  papers  called  "King 
n.il-er"  Lodge,  the  ambitious  senator 
irom  New  England  who  is  chairman 
•i  the  Eisenhower  campaign.  Lodge 
!ia\  been  .America's  Eisenhower  and 
h.'ts  kept  the  people  believing  thai 
I  he  General  would  accept  when  ii 
Im.kcil  like  he  might  be  forced  to 
M.tv    with    N.A.T.O, 

\.>;  for  Eisenhower's  stand  on  policy, 
;ill  that  can  be  gathered  is  what  he 
li;!*;  said  in  previous  speeches  made 
while  he  was  president  of  Columbia 
liiiversity.  He  claims  to  follow  the 
fiircign  policy  of  the  present  admin- 
istration, at  least  to  the  degree  of 
adhering  to  and  strengthening  the 
United  Nation  and  N.A.T.O, 

He  has  given  perhaps,  the  clearest 
statement  of  his  general  philosophy 
in  a  speech  made  before  the  American 
Bar  Association  in  St.  Louis.  Scptem. 
her  '49.  Declaring  that  those  of  both 
the  right  and  left  deliberately  niis- 
reprcseni  the  middle-of-the-road  posi- 
tion, he  asserted  that  "the  central 
position  .  ,  .  is  the  truly  creative 
area  within  which  we  may  obtain 
agreement  for  constructive  social  ac- 
tion  compatibly   with    basic   American 


principles,  and  with  the  just  aspira^ 
tions  of  every  sincere  American.  It 
le  area  in  which  are  rooted  the 
hopes  and  allegiance  of  the  va.sl  major- 
ity of  our  people."  He  then  spcllefl 
out  \vhat  he  called  the  three  funda- 
mental principles  of  American  Life. 

First — that  individual  freedom  h 
our  most  precious  pos.'session.  It  is  to 
be  guarded  as  the  chief  heritage  of 
our  people,  the  welhpring  of  our 
spiritual  and  material  greatness  and 
the  central  target  of  all  enemies — 
internal  and  external — who  seek  to 
weaken  and  destroy  the  American 
Republic. 

Second — thai  all  our  freedoms — per- 
sonal, economic,  social,  political,  free- 
dom to  buy,  to  work,  to  hire,  to  bar- 
gain, to  save,  to  vote,  lo  worship, 
to  gather  in  convention  or  join  in 
mutual  as.sociaiion:  all  these  freedoms 
a  single  bundle.  Each  are  an  indis- 
pensable part  of  a  single  whole.  Des- 
truction of  any  inevitably  leads  to 
the  destruction  of  all. 

Third  —  that  freedom  to  compete 
vigorously  among  ourselves,  accom- 
panied by  a  readiness  to  co-operate 
wholeheartedly  for  the  performance  of 
community  and  national  functions, 
together  make  our  system  the  most 
productive  on   earth." 

The  viewpoint  of  many,  that  Eisen- 
hower is  a  military  man  and  because 
of  past  experiences  he  should  be  kept 
out  of  the  White  House,  cannot  be 
overlooked.  He  is  military  to  the 
teeth,  but  along  with  this  military 
life  he  has  shown  himself  to  hf  a 
capable  administrator  and  coalition 
manager.  His  service  as  President  of 
Columbia  University  revealed  a  phil- 
osophic man  and  a   fluent 'speaker. 


Maryland's  Proposal 


Each  year  the  National  Conventions 
bring  a  host  of  favorite  sons  to  light 
as  possible  candidates  for  the  nomina- 
tion of  President  of  the  United  Stales. 
Perhaps  one  of  the  most  colorful  of 
such  candidates  this  year  will  be  Man- 
land's  governor,  Theodore  Roosevelt 
McKeldiq.  He  is  a  true  Marylander. 
born  in  Baltimore  and  educated  there. 
During  his  political  career  h<;  has 
served  as  Secretary  to  Mayor  Brocning 
of  Baltimore.  an<I  then  as  the  mayor 
himself.  During  this  'office  he  was  re- 
sponsible for  the  modernization  of 
Baltimore's  then  antiquated  charter. 
In  IWO  he  was  elected  Governor  by 
the  largest  majority  of  votes  ever  given 
lo  any  candidate  for  that  office. 

The    Governor    has    received    num- 


erous honorary  degrees  in  recognition 
of  his  public  service,  among  which  is 
a  Doctor  of  Laws  degree  from  Wash- 
ington College,  presented  to  him  at 
Commencement  exercises  in  June,  1951. 

Governor  McKeldin  has  .stated  that 
he  would  not  attempt  to  write  a 
platform  himself,  but  the  following  is 
what  he  has  always  stood  for  while  in 
public  office. 
Domestic  Policy 

Strict  economy  in  Civilian  agencies

Sports  Highlights 

By  Ellsworth  Boyd 


It  looks  like  the  Indians  arc  on  the  warpath  once  again,  inspir- 
ed by  their  win  over  the  Lehigh  lacrosse  squad  Wednesday. 

Tomorrow  the  Clarkmen  cross  sticks  with  the  Greyhounds  of 
Loyola  on  Kibler  Field.  This  will  be  far  from  a  "push-over'"  after 
the  Hounds  edged  Swarthmore  1 1-10  last  Saturday  on  the  losers' 
field.  The  Green  and  Gray  staged  a  surprising  last  half  rally  to 
upset  the  favored  Pennsylvania  team  as  Tom  Wagner  sparked  the 
attack  with  four  goals  in  the  last  two  quarters. 

Swarthmorc's  Bunky  Blake,  who  tallied  five  goals  against  the 
Shoremen,  scored  three  consecutive  goals  in  the  first  quarter  to 
lead  the  Swarthmore  attack.  Nevertheless,  the  Greyhounds  were 
not  to  be  under-rated,  as  they  rallied  to  win. 

The  University  of  Baltimore's  six  game  winning  streak  was 
halted  by  Drexel  Tech.  10  to  9.  Saturday  in  a  game  which  the  Bees 
considered  a  "breather." 

Hopkins  splashed  its  way  to  an  8-7  win  over  West  Point  at 
Homewood,  while  Virginia  dropped  Navy's  stickmcn  from  the  ranks 
of  the  undefeated  in  a  9-8  victory  at  Annapolis. 

Just  what  does  all  this  add  up  to?  It  places  Virginia,  who  has 
lost  only  one  game,  in  an  admirable  position  in  the  national  col- 
legiate lacrosse  standings.  Perhaps  the  top  position  if  the  South- 
erners should  complete  the  season  without  another  loss. 

However,  the  Cavaliers  must  face-off  with  Washington  Col- 
lege May  10.  The  Shoremen  could  "upset  the  apple-cart"  if  they 
play  the  entire  game  like  they  played  the  second  half  against  Har- 
vard. 

Navy,  Duke,  the  Maryland  Lacrosse  Club,  and  the  Hillmen  are 
all  part  of  the  past.  Remaining  on  the  schedule  are:  Loyola,  West' 
ern  Maryland,  Virginia,  Delaware  and  Baltimore  U.  The  Clark- 
men  are  capable  of  completing  this  schedule  undefeated.  In  an  en- 
deavor to  prove  this,  they  will  be'striving  to  run  the  Greyhound; 
back  to  Baltimore  tomorrow  afternoon.

Sw:ainp  Lehigh 


Tlic  CiarlKiiitii  rcimncd  from  Bcihc- 
iL'tn.  Pa„  last  Wednesday  wilh  a  16  to 
5  triumph  over  Lehigh,  and  ihcir  third 
of  the  '52  season. 

The  Shoremen  denied  the  Lehigh 
nets  for  five  goals  in  the  first  quarter 
and  two  in  the  second  to  lead  at  half- 
lime,  7-3.  The  Pennsylvania  team 
threatened  in  the  first  period  with  a 
two  goal  splurge,  but  were  held  to  one 
tally  in  the  .second.  With  this  five  goal 
lead,  the  Chcslertown  creasemen  coast- 
ed to  their  15  goal  win. 

Johnny  Grim  opened  the  .icoring  in 
the  first  five  seconds  of  play  as  he 
scooped  up  the  face-off  and  raced  to 
the  Lehigh  net,  determined  to  slip  one 
past  the  goalie.  Graham  Menzies,  nho 
tallied  8  goals,  scored  shortly  after 
Grim  to  give  the  Clarkmen  a  2-0  lead. 

Dick  Weller  performed  crcditibly  on 
defense,  supported  by  Billy  Kabernagel 
and  Bill  Bonneit. 

Constant  assists  from  Larry  Leonard 
enabled  the  Shoremen  to  retain  a 
comforiabie  lead  over  the  Pennsylvania 
«|uad  during  the  major  part  of  the 
Contest. 


Hilhnen 
Wm,  15  -  4 


Mount  Washington  scored  in  every 
period  to  defeat  Washington  Col- 
lege's lacrosse  team,  15  to  4  last  Sat- 
urday on  the  victors'  rain  soaked  field. 

The  Shore  stickmcn  tallied  the  first 
goal  in  each  of  the  opening  three 
periods,  but  were  outmanned  by  the 
Unbeaten  Hillmen  who  substituted  fif- 
teen men  during  the  contest.  Rain 
fell  steadily  during  the  entire  game 
but  this,  plus  a  field  thoroughly  soak- 
ed by  four  days  of  showers,  failed  to 
hinder  the  Mounts  as  ten  players 
came  through  with  one  or  more  goals. 

The  Sho'men  held  the  home  team 
scoreless  during  the  first  nine  minutes 
of  play,  and  it  looked  like  a  close 
game  was  at  hand.  Washington  even 
opened  the  scoring  first  when  fresh- 
man George  Hcsae  drove  one  past 
goalie   Skip   Barry  on  an  assist  from  and  Washington, 


dcfcnsman  Bill  Bonnctt. 

I;Iowevcr,  the  clubmen  caught  fire 
and  slipped  five  tallies  past  Bill  Rus- 
sell in  the  first  period.  The  score  was 
6  to  2  at  the  half  as  the  Chestertown 
team  matched  the  one  goal  scored  by 
Mt.  Washington  in  the  second  quart- 
er. 

A%  the  rain  continued,  the  string'; 
of  the  lacrosse  sticks  tightened,  caus- 
ing several  bad  plays  on  the  part  of 
both  teams.  Nevertheless,  the  Mounts 
managed  to  pull  well  ahead  of  the 
Shoremen,  outscoring  them '4-1  and 
5-1  in  the  second  half.  John  Grim 
and  Dick  Cadden  dented  the  victors' 
nets  in  the  second  and  third  quarters 
for  Washington's  only  scores. 

Oliver  Shepard,  one  of  the  many 
former  Hopkins  All-Americans,  now 
playing  for  the  Hillman,  paced  the 
Clubmen's  offense  with  three  goal; 
and  an  assist,  while  Brooke  Tunslall, 
another  former  Blue  Jay  stickman, 
scored  twice  and  passed  for  three  ad- 
ditional markers. 

Relay  Team 
Is  Fifth 

The  Washington  College  one  mile 
relay  team  returned  from  the  Penn 
Relays  last  Saturday  at  Philadelphia 
after  giving  an  unexpected  perform- 
ance before  three  thousand  fans  on  the 
klin  Field  cinder  path  at  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania. 

Many  track  followers  rated  the  team 
as  not  even  having  a  chance  to  place 
in  their  heat.  However,  the  team  not 

ly  placed  third  in  the  trial  heat,  bui 
advanced  to  the  finals  of  the  Middle 
Atlantic  One  Mile  Relay  Champion- 
ship of  America  where  it  captured 
Fifth  place,  edging  out  such  notables 
as  St.  Joe,  Lafayette  and   Gettysburg. 

There  were  two  trial  heats,  nine 
teams  ui  the  first  and  eight  in  the 
second.  The  Shore  squad,  compo.sed  of 
Jack  McCullough,  George  Eichelhcrger, 
Ellsworth  Boyd  and  Kenny  Howard 
placed  third  in  the  initial  heat,  cross- 
ing the  finish  line  ahead  of  Dickinson, 
P.M.C.,  Wagner.  Lehigh'  Ursinus  and 
Franklin  and  Marshall.  LaSalie  was 
first,  and  Albright  second. 

LaSallc  broke  the  tape  in  the  finals, 
followed  by  Alfred,  F.and  M.,  Albright 


Sho'  Nme 
Beats  Towson 


Cooper  DcLoach  pitched  his  sec- 
ond consecutive  Mason-Dixon  dia- 
mond victory  last  Tuesday  at  Towson, 
Md.,  as  the  Shoremen  downed  the 
Golden  Knights,  8  to  4! 

It  was  Washington  College's  sec- 
ond straight  win  in  the  Conference 
after  out-hitting  Hopkins  the  week' 
before.  The  Chestertown  team  clout- 
ed four  ground  rule  doubles  over  the 
short  right  field  fence,  and  this  en- 
abled the  visitors  to  win  by  a  four 
margin.  These  hits  came  off  the  bats 
of  Wes  Edwards,  Doug  Tilley  and 
Steve  Mastrianna,  (2). 

DeLoach  allowed  only  six  Towson 
hits  for  nine  innings  on  the  mound, 
while  the  losers'  rcnouncd  hurler, 
Tom  Cripps,  gave  up  seven,  plus 
four  walks. 

Towson  took  advantage  of  a  Wash- 
in'gton  error  in  thf  third  frame,  to 
grab  a  1-0  lead.  However,  the  Shore- 
men retaliated  in  the  next  inning,  as 
four  runs  crossed  home  plate.  Tillcy's 
double  drove  home  two  runs  and 
Mastrianna's    two    bagger   scored    two 

Towson   rallied   in  the   fifth  and  sixth 
Trames,    scoring   one    run    in   each 

Myers  and  Tom  Cripps  singled 
n  in.  But  once  again  the  mighty 
Sho'  bats  drove  in  three  runs  to  re- 
a  comfortable  lead,  7-3.  From  this 
point  the  Kiblcrmen  coasted  to  victO' 


ry. 

Two  defensive  plays  by  the  Shore- 
men highlighting  the  afternoon  was 
Wes  Edwards'  running  leap  on

Athlete 
of  the  Week 


JACK    McCULLOUGH 

One  of  the.  most  deserving  and 
diligent  working  athletes  here  at 
Washington  College  will  entl  his  ca- 
reer here  at  the  Shore  school  come 
June.  He  is  Jack  McCullough,  mem- 
ber of  the  varsity  cross-coun 
track   teams   during   the      past      three 

Jack  hails  from  a  small  tov 
side  of  Cumberland  and  is  sometimes 
tabbed  as  the  "Friendsville  Flash,"  by 
his  teammates  on  the  track  squad. 
There  are  few  athletes  on  the  hill  that 
can  match  this  thinclad  in-so-much  as 
improvement  in  a  sport  is  concerned, 

McCullough    began    his    track    ca- 
reer with  virtually  no  experience  and 
followed  in  the  footsteps  of  such  stari 
Larry   Brandenburg,   Filmore  Dry- 

i  and  Mickey  Hubbard  when  he 
first  reported  for  track. 

His  improvement  came  through 
many  hours  of  hard  work  after  the 
rest  of  the  team  had  terminated 
practice.    But  it  paid  off  in  the  end. 

;e  was  twice  a  member  of  the 
cross-country  teams      that      turned   in 

h  a  creditable  performance  at  the 
Del-Mar  Championships  in  '49  and 
'50.  He  jumped  from  7th  position 
to  4th  in  the  space  of  two  seasons. 
He  was  the  lead-off  man  on  the  W.C. 
mile  relay  team  which  garnered 
fifth  place  in  the  Middle  Atlantic 
one  mile  relay  in  the  Penn  Relays 
last  wecft. 

An  unassuming  athlete,  who  is  a 
:mber  of  Phi  Sigma  Kappa,  Jack  is 
majoring  in  math  and  expects  to  en- 
ter the  teaching  profession  upon  grad- 
uation. \J^c  know  he  will  succeed  if 
he  utilizes  the  determination  and 
stamina  in  the  classroom  that  he  has 
on  the  track.  We  heartily  extend  pur 
congratulations  and  good  tuck  to  "The 
Friendsville  Flash."

Violets 
To  Mr.  G 


Dear  Mr.  Guandolo: 
In  refcrcnci;  ■  to  yo 


>ur   letter,   which 
page   and   which 


appears   on   s 

is  addressed  to  the  editor,  I  feel  it 
my  duty  to  acknowledge  it  and  de- 
fend ray  "grade-school  torn  mentations, 
since  !  have  offended  you  and  Grant- 
land  Rice. 

I  definitely  will  not  label  you  a 
"festered  lily."  On  the  contrary,  1 
offer  violets  to  you  Mr.  Guandolo  for 
your  intrepid  criticism  of  my  column. 
And  I  might  add,  if  there  were  more 
of  the  same,  perhaps  there  would  be 
improvement  not  only  in  my  col- 
umn,  but  in   other  sections   as   well. 

Now    I    would    like    to    attempt    to 
justify  my  last  sentence,   punctuation, 
and  quotation,  which  appeared  in  my 
ilumn  in  the  last  issue  of  The  Elm. 
Have    you    ever    been      humorously 
disgusted,  Mr.  Guandolo?  It  is  not  an 
nthralling   mental   tone   when  one  is 
humorously    disgusted,    but    such    was 
my  mood  when  I  wrote  my  "Pressbox 
Sentiment,'    And  why  was  I   in  such 
mood?  For  the  sole  reason  that  thi 
students  were  not  supporting  the  ath- 
ams   here   at   Washington   Col- 
ouring   my    two    years   here,    as   ir 
the   past,  there  never  was  very  much 
of  this  needed  support.    Therefore,   I 
began  my  column  in  an  effort  to  stim- 
ulate   their   interest.     Notwithstanding 
this,  I  put  my  pencil  aside  and  leafed 
through  many  of  the  past  publications 
of  The  Elm.    Do  you  realize  that  for 
the  past  five  years  there  has  appeared 
in  one  issue  or  another,  a  column  sim- 
ilar to  mine,  encouraging  the  students 
to    lend    more   spirit   to    the    athletic 
teams? 

I  thought  it  a  jOke  to  constantly 
remind  the  school  that  the  teams 
might  appreciate  their  support.  There- 
fore, I  thought  It  appropriate  to 
conclude  my  column  with  a  joke.  For 
thout  my  closing  sentence,  I  believe 
the-  students  would  have  considered 
it  a  joke  anyway.  You  didn't  laugh, 
Ir.  Guandolo!  And  I  think  I  know 
hy.  I  know  you  to  be  an  ardent 
fan  of  the  sports  on  the  hill  and  that 
),  once  sought  to  boost  the 
school's  support  for  their  teams,  while 
were  a  member  of  this  publiea- 

Then  you  may  ask,  "Why  even 
bring  the  subject  up?"  The  answer 
Because  there  is  a  small  group 
of  students  who  would  like  to  remind 
the  rest  that  their  spirit  might  give 
;anis  a  "lift."  My  arguments 
fruitless.  They  demanded  a 
Icr  in  print  and  I  obliged, 
may  think  my  reasoning  de- 
ranged, maladjusted,  rationalization, 
delirium.  But,  whatever  your  opin- 
ions, I  would  like  to  once  again  praise 
your  criticism  and  send  you  a  bou- 
quet of  "Swccccl  Vi-o-Icts!!? 


Shoremen 
Top  Cardinals 

.  The  Maroon-  and  Blactt  cinder  squad 
were  not  to  be  out  run  last  Wcdncs- 
day  as  they  turned  what  seemed  like 
certain  defeat,  into  a  62  to  60  victory, 
over  Catholic  U.,  defending  Mason- 
Di.von  champs. 

Captain  Kenny  Howard  led  his 
team  to  this  deserved  triumph  as  he 
scored  26  of  the  total  62  points  gar- 
nered by  the  squad.  Howard  put  on 
a  fine  exhibition,  but  without  the 
20'6"  broad  jump  by  Rod  Ware, 
which  gave  him  a  second  place,  the 
Cardinals  would  have  captured  the 
meet. 

The  boys  from  the  capitol  city 
were  leading  the  meet,  53-46  going 
into  the  low  hurdle  event.  Howard  and 
Boyd  earned  first  and  second  in  the 
lows 'and  tied  the  score  54-54.  Ken- 
ny comfortably  led  in  the  broad  jump, 
but  Ware  and  Finn,  of  C,U,,  fought 
out  the  second  place  honor.  Rodney 
came  through  with  a  jump  three  inch- 
es better  than  Finn  as  the  Sho'men 
took  eight  points  against  one  for  the 
visitors  in  the  event.  C.U.  won  the 
mile  relay,  but  this  wasn't  enough  to 
better   the   Washington  score.

downed  Lambda  Chi  and  KA.,  25-0 
and  12-3. 

Ed  Athcy  pitched  the  Day  Students 
to  an  iJasy  win  over  the  Lambdas  as

absent  players.

a  hard  earned  12-3  vieioi-y  as  Ralph 
Shillcnburg  was  driven  from  the

vith  Russia  or  her  satellites." 

Warren's  domestic  policy  includes  .i 
Tugged  honesty  in  every  dcpartincnil 
of  government."  He  advocates  a  thoi 
ough  house-cleaning  and  an  arrousini; 
if  the  people  and  the  piiblih  officialv 
im  every  level  of  govcninicnt  to  moi.il 
indignation  over  every  breach  of  pub 
lie  trust.  He  insists  on   fighting  infla 
tion  as  we  would  communsism,  that 
they  go  hand  in  hand.  "If  we  succumb 
ruinous  inflation,  communism   has 
acheived    a    victory    over    us    without 
firing  a  .shot."  He  believes  the  Amen 
can     people    are    entitled    to     'rigi.i 
economy"  in  government— the  kind  of 
ccnnomv  that  "squeezes  out  of  evcrv 
dollar    for   public    use   everything   nl 
■alue  in  it."  He  advocates  an  effective 
reorganization  of  govemincnl  treating 
duplication,    ovcrlaping    and    obsolcn 
scence     wherever     they     exist    as     the 
waste  thev  are. 

For  Civil  Rights  he  states.  "We  must 
insist  upon  one  law  for  all  men  and 
equal  opportunity  in  life  for  all  men. 
The  heart  of  our  Constitution    is    if^ 
Bill    of    Rights    which    guarantees    to 
individual   in   our   country,   re 
gardlcss    of   race,    creed    or   color   and 
regardless     of     position     in     life,     the 
precious  rights  of  freedom  of  asscmhl 

lecch    and    worship.    Anything    th;i. 
divides  ns  or  limiLs  Ihc  opportunities 
for  full  American  citizenship  is  injuri- 
lis  to  the  welfare  of  all." 
Warren    favors    free    enterprise    be 
cause  it  is  the  basic  individual  freedom 
He     ahn     advocates     social     progress, 
carefully      distinguishing      this      from 
socialism  which  he  is  opposed  to.  He 
proposes    safeguards    such     as     those 
which  proten  industry  to  be  used  for 
the    farmer.  "Failure   to    protect    agri- 
culture from   vicious  lx>om   and   bust 
cvcle^  can   spread  a  chain  of  reaction 
of  ruin  throughout  the  nation." 

He  believes  in  Social  Security  on  the 
ground    that    every    worker    nmst    be 
afforded  some  protection  when  condi 
tions  bevond  his  control  cause  him  to 
...  ...lemployed  or  relegated  to  inartivi 

IV  because  of  aec.  He  also  believes  in 
the  right  of  workers  to  organize  foi 
their  own  protection  .  .  that  Icgisla 
rion  affecting  this  right  should  be  en- 
acted aparinglv  and  with  full  regard 
for  he  rights  of  all."

the  following  in  an  interview  fur  (he

"The  proposed  Student  Covemmcni 
Const  it  uticm  has  proven  two  things: 
t — that  the  majority  of  the  stodcnit 
feel  that  there  is  a  definite  need  for 
student  government;  and  2 — by  the 
number  of  votes  cast  (only  36  persons 
•showed   no    interest    in    the   balloting) 


it  showed  that  there  is  a  de6niic  in- 
terest among  the  students  in  what  is 
desirable  for  the  student  body  in  re- 
lations with  the  ad  minis  Ira  tion  and

"Judging  by  the  desire  of  many  of 
the  students,  the  proposed  constitu-

establishing  Student  Ci

Pan  Hellenic  Council 
Revises  Rush  System 


The  Pan  Hellenic  Council  which  is 
composed  of  the  three  sororities  on 
campus  has  received  acceptance  of 
their  petition  to  the  administration 
and  the  Committee  on  Sororities  to 
shorten  [he  rush  period  from  a  se- 
mester to  six  weeks.  The  action  was 
taken  lo  prevent  long  drawn  out 
rush  season,  and  to  bring  sorority 
rush  activities  to  a  close  before  the 
Thanksgiving    holidays. 

The  following  dales  have  been  sub- 
mitted and  appiovcd  by  the  tommii- 
tec   for   rushing   functions   next   year;

Formal  opening  ol  rushing  on  campus. 

Open  House  by  the  sororities 
through    the   middle  of   October. 


October  U(i-30 — Informal   Parlies, 

November  2-6 — Formal   Parties. 

Xovember  H — Issuance  of  Bids. 

I'nder  this  plan  no  gfil  would  need 
an  inde.v  lo  be  pledged  into  a  sorori- 
ty. However,  it  in  February  when 
the  indicies  are  released,  any  of

THE  RIGHT  MAN 

Last  week  on  this  page  wc  emphasized  the  point  that  those  of  us 
ivho  are  eligible  lo  vote  in  this  year's,  election  have  a  moral  obliga- 
tion to  do  so.  Tho'ic  who  don't,  have  no  right  to  criticize  the  man 
vtrho  is  elected  lo  office. 

This  week,  we  of  the  Elm  editorial  staff  would  like  to  announce 
that  we  are  quite  pleased  with  the  results  of  the  Forensic  Society's 
mock  Convention  la-t  week  and  offer  our  personal  support  ihowever 
iiisigniHiant  it  ma\  be)  to  achieving  the  goal  of  nominating  Dwight 
D.  Ejsenhowpr  as  the  Repulican  candidate  for  the  presidency  and 
x-  the  ncNt  president  of  the  United  States. 

We  feel  that  theie  is  a  definite  need  for  a  change  of  hands 
among  those  who  hnndle  the  reins  of  our  government.  It  is  seldom 
J  heatdiy  thing  to  h.ive  one  organization  in  control  of  a  government 
for  a  prolonged  period  of  time,  especially  when  that  government  is 
on  a  large  a  scale  as  our  federal  government  today. 

We  feel  that  our  international  policy  is.  in  general,  being  con- 
■fucted  fairly  well  and  wc  believe  that  Eisenhower  would  continue 
t:>  follow  essentially  the  same  courses  of  action.  We  can  not  believe 
file  same  of  Mr.  Taft. 

We  belie\'e  that  sevxral  liealthy  changes  could  be  made  on  the 
■i'tmestic  scene  and  that  Mr.  Eisenhower  and  his  supporters  are 
uioroughly  capable  of  making  intelligent  alterations  in  present 
(lolicy  and  action. 

We  believe  that  Mr.  Eisenhower  is  the  only  leading  GOP.  con- 
t-nder  who  is  not  tied  hand  in  foot  with  the  "Old  Guard"  element 
■  ■  the  Republican  party  which  tends  to  be  isolationistic. 
'        We  beleive  tiiat  Eisenhower  is  the  only  Republican  who  could 
-.-in  a  national  election  if  nominated. 

In  other  words —  We  Like  Ike!

Question 
of  the  Week 


INDIFFERENT  SHO'MEN 

Wa.shington  College  ^eems  to  be  one  of  the  most  unusual 
illege  campuses  in  the  United  Stales.  We  have  a  reputation  of 
'jt-ing  the  "friendly  college" — one  big  happy  family  where  everybody 
i  everyone  else's  friend.  But^-onc  thing  that  public  reputation 
i-»e^n't  include — and  we're  lucky  it  doscn't — is  the  disorganization 
i:id  the  disinterest  of  students  on  campus,  when  extra-curricular 
:<  d\-ities  are  concerned —  in  relation  to  being  friendly — the  other 
c  -wers  way  over  it. 

We  speak  of  disorganization  and  disinterest  in  this  instance,  in 
-■ference  to  the  decision  by  the  students  to  vote  down  Student 
—  ivemnieni.  (And  we're  not  crying  over  spilt  milk  as  several  of 
-•-ir  critics  would  have  us  believe.) 

The  Elm  favors  student  government — and  favors  it  any  way  we 
■  n  get  it.    Why?     Because  student  government  is  just  as  valuablc 

■  :  f>ur  education  as  classes — it  is  practical  training  for  our  future 

■  ;e— and  most  of  all — it  teaches  us  how  to  govern  and  be  governed 
'  ■  ■  our  fellow  man — which  we're  all  going  to  do  eventually. 

We  favor  the  constitution  as  drawn  up  by  the  Student  Govern-  \y/x:.  publica^ons. 
•.iL-nt  Committee  in  its  original  form.     We  can,  hovsever.  see  a  few       Peggy  Carleton:  I  believe 
..lints  that  could  stand  a  change,  after  student  government  is  on  quite  good.  Anyway 
>s  way.     It  has  been  mentioned  that  the  Committee  did  not  give 
"c  elf  enough  power  in  regulating  student  activities.     Perhaps  they 
didn't,  but —  they  have  to  start  somewhere  and  by  presenting  a 
iiroad  and  elastic  constitution  they  enabled  themselves  to  work  up  to 
;'.--uming  more  powers.     We  all  must  remember  that  we  are  just 
r>  jorentices  in   the   field   of  Student   Gdvemment  at   Washington 
Cnlle^e. 

We  recognize  the  difficulties  presented  by  the  lateness  of  the 
;i'e-«ntation  of  the  Con>titution.  However,  we  also  noted  a  very 
-jnt  crowd  in  the  as^pmbly  hall  the  day  Chairman  McKie  discussed 
r--  document  and  in  one  of  the  clas>  meetings— the  representation 
a.  n.'>t  quite  a  third.  You  ran'tttell  us  that  the  students  were  too 
b'j-iv  to  attend.  They  certainly  aren't  too  busy  to  criticize,everything 
'"r  instructive  that  is  attempted. 

Anparently  the  minority  of  the  campus  (it  was  a  minority  that 
*-*'-3ted  the  Constitution)  is  opposed  to  change  of  any  type — 
■■•.naifitain  thi*  status  quo"  etc.  To  date,  however,  we  have  failed 
t  >  note  one  grtSd  reason  for  the  opposition — other  than  "the  admin- 
i'triuon  is  trvind  to  ram  it  down  our  throats" — which  we  don't 
r-»nsider  a  GOOD  reason,  mainly  because  it  isn't  true.  Frankly,  wc 
'  ■••  of  the  opiiion  that  they  jiist  don't  want  to  take  the  trouble  to 
"ti>;h"r  with  it,  v.hieh  i'  no  credit  to  them. 

We  suggest  and  urge  the  Student  Government  committee  to 
introduce  the  '•onstitulion  again  in  September — with  a  recall  of  the 
hange  made  requiring  two-thirds  of  the  student  body  to  two-thirds 
»f  the  votes  east — as  it  appeared  in  the  original.  We  see  no  reason 
for  a  r.i'.rior;:-.  --jeh  as  the  one  that  defeated  the  Conititution  this 
-?1    r       ■  ,-it  Washingt/)n  College  again. 


OUR  HATS  ARE  OFF 


Question  of  the  Week:  How  do  you 
like    the    19")2    Pegisus? 

Do  you  have  any  suggested  changes 
for  next  year's  edition? 

Steve  McHale:  Not  being  an  expert 
on  yearbooks.  1  bate  to  criticize. 
However — 

Geoi^e  Cromwell:  I  think  it's  all 
right,  but  they  should  have  put  the 
student's  names  and  addresses  in. 

Helen  Roe:  Very  prompt,  bui  where 
was  the  organizationr 

Jim  Smith:  I  think  it  a  very  fine 
yearbook  and  the  editor  and  his  staff 
deserves  a  lot  of  credit, 

Rav  Proom:  Ii  is  obvious  that  there 
were  some  gross  errors  made  either  by 
the  editor  or  the  printer.  Otherwise 
the   book   seems 

ns. 

it    to    be 

book 

k  Kent;  Id  like  to  see  the  sporus 

ogeiher   and   a    directory    in    the 

back.   Otherwise  it  was  very  nice  and 

lell  presented. 

Mort   Smith;    Very   nice,  but  what 
about    Professor   Rudo   and    the   boys 
1  page  40/ 

Gary    WyckofT:    The    I9r>2      Pegasus 

runs  on  a  par  with  the  last  three  edi- 

However,    I    still    believe    that 

the    book   can    be   improved    100%    by 

using   up   to  date   pictures. 

Betiv  ^rundage:  1  would  like  to 
see  a  directory  in  the  back,  the  seniors 
in  the  front,  and  the  sports  all  to- 
gether. I  think  [he  people  concerned 
should  be  congratulated  on  get 
out  on  time,  though, 

Ed  Stewart:  On  the  whole,  the  book 

was  well  laid  out,  but  I  would  rathei 

see    the   senior   picttires   in   the   front 

and    the   organization    pictures   belter 

organized. 

Average  Opinion:  It's  O.K. 

Most     Frequent    Criticism:      Should 

ivc  a  iiudent  directory  in  the  back. 


To  you,  the  seniors,  who  will  be,  in  just  a  couple  of  weeks, 
men  and  women  of  the  world — fighting  the  forces  of  starvation  and 
the  draft  board — may  we  the  undergrads,  still  in  the  hayseed  stage 
of  our  college  career — take  our  hats  off"  to  you.  It  takes  a  lot  to 
finish  four  years  of  college.  A  lot  of  determination,  sacrifice  in  some 
instances,  and  a  few  brains  tucked  away  here  and  there. 

In  this,  the  final  edition  of  the  ELM  (except  for  the  speaal 
commencement  edition)  we  would  like  to  tell  the  world  that  we 
think  you're  an  especially  great  class.  A  lot  of  hard  workers  have 
come  out  of  your  class— a  lot  of  top  -notch  material.  We  won't 
mention  names  because  it  would  take  too  long,  but  you  know  who 
you  are — and  we  do  to. 

And  also  you  seniors — you  don't  act  a  bit  like  most  seniors  are 
supposed  to.  You've  been  overly  friendly  to  all  the  newcomers— 
you've  been  a  big  help  in  getting  the  freshmen  interested  in  all  the 
activities  they  have  started — in  fact  you've  stayed  on  the  ball  all 
year^ — even  after  your  successors  tilled  the  offices,  you  kept  piling  up 
the  honors  and  kept  working. 

So,  again  we  say — hat's  off  to  the  seniors.  We  hope  you'll  con- 
tinue your  interest  in  us  and  in  Washington  College.  With  your  new 
alumni  officers  you  have  a  going  organization.  Keep  up  the  good 
work!

Sports  Highlights 


By  Ellsworth  Boyd 


TRIBUTE  TO  A  CHAMPION 

The  summer  of  1938  brought  to  a  close  the  athletic  career  of 
one  of  Washington  College's  most  notable  track  and  field  performers, 
The  far-famed  feats  of  Gibby  Young  became  known  to  every  track 
aspirant  who  entered  W.-.sKington  College.  He  was  somewhat  of  a 
legend  ...  an  athlete  who  not  only  participated  in  five  ditTerpnt 
track  and  field  events,  but  also  managed  to  set  records  in  three  of 
them. 

The  summer  of  1952  is  drawing  near,  and  with  it  will  terminate 
"  another  fabulous  career  of  one  of  the  Shore  school's  most  versatile 
cindcrmen.     Kenny  Howard's  association  with  track  here,  has  been 
like  that  of  Babe  Ruth  to  baseball. 

This  diminutive,  fleet-footed  thinclad  concluded  his  three 
years  of  track  here  with  a  record  breaking  broad  jump  exhibition 
in  the  Mason-Dixon  Championships  last  Saturday  at  Homewood, 
His  leap  of  twenty-two  feet,  nine  and  one-h^lf  inches  erased  the 
old  one  of  twenty-two  feet,  four  and  five-eighths  inches  set  in  '38  by 
Washington's  "Doc"  TuUy. 

Captain  of  this  year's  squad,  "The  Jet"  will  not  only  graduate 
with  this  M-D  record.  During  his  three  year  reign  he  has  establish- 
ed fifteen  records  in  the  school's  dual  meet  competition!  These 
marks  have  been  set  in  the  100.  220  and  broad  jump,  against  such 
notables  as  West  Chester,  Loyola,  Catholic  U.  and  the  Baltimore 
Olympic  Club. 

He  holds  the  Kibler  Field  broad-jump  record  of  23  feet  and  was 
a  member  of  the  school's  record  breaking  mile  relay  team  consisting 
of  Mickey  Hubbard,  Jim  Twilley  and  Larry  Brandenburg.  "Captain 
Kenny"  has  been  acclaimed  as  the  high  scorer  of  the  M-D  Champion- 
ships in  '50,  '51.  and  '52  when  he  scored  14,  17,  and  18  points 
respectively. 

Through  his  diligent  work,  inspirational  spirit,  and  unassuming 
personality,  Kenny  Howard  will  long  be  remembered  as  a  credit 
to  his  sport,  his  team,  and  his  college. 


Sullivan  Hurls 
No  -  Hitter 


When  former  Shore  coach.  Frank 
Apichella.  broiighi  his  Mi.  Saint 
Maiy's  baseball  squad  [o  Kibler  Field 
on  May  8,  his  team  was  not  only  dealt 
a  twin  defeat,  but  his  star  pitcher  of 
1950  sent  ".Appy"  and  his  boys  back 
to  Emmitsbiirg,  di.sgraced  by  a  no-hit 
game. 

Kenny  Sullivan  pitched  a  7-2  victory 
in  the  second  game  of  the  double-head- 
er, allowing  only  two  runs  in  the  6th 
inning  by  walking  four  of  the  Momi- 
taineers.  It  was  Sullivan's  second 
uin  of  the  season  for  the  Sho*  nine. 

Cooper  DeLoach  handled  the  mound 
duties  in  the  initial  contest,  as  he,  too, 
won  his  second  game,  by  the  score 
of  G  to  3. , 

This  twin  killing,  coupled  with  the 
two-game  win  over  .■American  Univers 
i>.  brought  the  Kiblermen  out  of  thei 
Jlunip  and  boosted  their  win  column 
consideriibly. 

Stickmen 
Win  Two 


Washington  College  (cored  its  first 
goal  13  seconds  after  the  start  of  the 
game,  then  rolled  on  to  an  8-3  victory 
over  Western  Maryland  on  May  9  in 
a  tune-up  for  their  match  with  the 
U.  of  Virginia. 

l"he  first  team  saw  action  only  dur- 
ing the  second  quarter,  as  Coach  Clark 
substituted  freely,  every  player  seeing 
action.  Dick  Cadden  and  Chuck 
Waesche  led  the  scoring  for  the  Ma- 
roon and  Black  with  two  goals  apiece. 

The  only  highlight  in  the  Terrors' 
play  wa,!)  that  of  goalie  Winelcman 
Who  accounted  for  19  saves  during 
the  afternoon. 

Two  days  before  this  \V'estern  Md.

Top  B.U. 


Cooper  DeLoach  turned  in  a  bril- 
liant five-inning,  no-hit  relief  pitch- 
ing effort  last  Saturday  as  Washing- 
ton College  came  from  behind  to  de- 
feat Baltimore  University's  baseball 
squad,  0  to  .'i. 

This  upset  threw  the  Northern  Divi- 
sion baseball  race  into  a  tie  between 
the  Bees  and  Loyola  College,  and  left 
the  Shoremen  one-half  game  out  of 
first.  At  the  present  time  the  B.U. 
squad  has  forged  to  the  front  in  the 
league  standings,  but  have  not  yet 
completed  their  season. 

DeLoach  entered  the  contest  in  the 
fifth,  his  team  trailing,  4-1.  He  held 
the  Bees  in  check  throughout  the 
rest  of  the  contest  to  chalk  up  his 
fourth  win  of  the  season. 

The  ShoremenN  big  innings  wer 
the   6th    and    7th.      Four    runs    i 
scored    in   each,   but    three   errors   by 
the   visitors  aided    the  cause   in   both 

Bobby  Thurlow'i  three-run  homer 
in  the  first  inning  highlighted  the 
initial  phases  of  the  contesi  for 
Bees,  but  their  awkward  play  in  the 
6th  and  7lh  quelled  any  hope  of 
tory. 

Danny  Samele,  Al  Zaiosky  and 
Dough  Tillcy  were  the  big  guns  for 
the  Maroon  and  Black  as  each  pound- 
ed out  two  hits  off  ihe  two  Baltimore 
pitchers — Gebhardi  and  Anderson.

this  defeat  went  their  chances  of 
capturing      the      Northern      Division

St.  Mary's  was  easily  taken  down, 
as  Jack  Smith,  Bill  Murray.  Bruce  and 
Garj  WyckofF  and  Tony  Tonian  all 
won  .their  singles  matches  in  quick 
fashion.  The  WyckofF  brothers,  Mur-

then  teamed  up  in  the  doubles  to 
readily  win  over  the  Mountaineers. 

The  Hopkins'  Bluejays  came  from

lost,  as  the  jays  tied  it  up  3-3.  The 
only  doubles  combination  that  stay-

Lambdin.  who  won  6-4,  7-5. 

The  netmen  have  a  record  of  7

which  were  enough  to  give  the  Wash- 
ington College  track  squad  a  second 
place  honor  in  the  annual  Mason- 
Dixon  Championships  last  Friday  and 
Saturday   at    Homewood. 

Bridgewaier  College  of  Virginia 
amassed  58  points  to  top  the  field  of 
eleven  schools  and  dethrone  defend- 
ing  champion.   Catholic    University. 

Once  again  it  was  Washington's 
versatile  Kenny  Howard  who  captur- 
ed individual  high  scoring  honors.  It 
was  Kenny's  final  appearance  tor  the 
Shore  school  and  his  superb  per- 
formance was  acclaimed  by  all. 

"The  Jet"  won  the  broad  jump  and 
220  yard  dash,  ajid  was  second  hi  tlie 
100.  and  low  hurdles.  He  not  only 
won  the  broad  jump,  but  set  a  new 
meet  record  with  a  leap  of  22'9'/2", 
This  accounted  for  18  of  the  32  mark- 
ers garnered  by  the  Maroon  and  Black. 
Jim  Taylor  and  Ells  Boyd  were  the 
only  other  Shotemen  who  aided  the 
cause,  both  scoring  7  points  for  th( 
school.  Taylor  won  the  discus  with 
133'  heave  and  managed  to  put  the 
IG  lb.  shot  far  enough  for  a  fourth 
place.  Boyd  captured  second  place  in 
the  high  hurdles,  one-tenth  of  a  sec- 
ond behind  the  winner,  tied  for  third 
in  the  high  jump,  and  was  fourth  in 
the  low  hurdles. 

Captain  Howard,  the  iron  man  of 
the  meet,  ran  trials  of  the  100,  220, 
low  hurdles,  and  broad  jump  on  Fri- 
day. On  top  of  this  he  ran  semi-finals 
in  the  low  hurdles  and  220,  not  long 
after  these  trial  runs. 

Although  George  Eichclberger,  Bob 
Appleby  and  Jack  McCullough  turned 
in  creditable  runs  in  their  trial  heats, 
the  distance  races  they  participated 
in  were  depth-laden,  with  the  South- 
ern schools  being  stronger  than  ex- 
pected. 

Hopkin's  Don  Manger  accounted  for 
he  only  record  that  was  set  in  the 
:wo-day  carnival  as  he  ran  a  4.21.3  for' 
the  one  mile,  to  break  Merle  Crouse's 
record  of  last  year.  Manger  doubled 
itance  eveilts,  returning  later  to 
capture  the  880  yard  run. 

The  only  other  record  threatened 
was  in  the  pole  vault.  Ray  DcCosta 
of  Bridgewater,  vaulted  I2'fi"  to  tie 
Ihe  old  mark,  but  .failed  to  better  it 
when  the  bar  was  moved  to  13  feet.

Blue  Hens 
Bow,  11-6 


Coach  Charlie  Clark's  lacrosse  squad 
relumed  from  Delaware  University 
last  Wednesday  and  marked  its  sixth 
win  the  record  book  after  downing  the 
Blue  Hens  by  an  1 1-6  count. 

However,  all  was  not  peaches  and 
cream  as  the  home  team  grabbed  a 
3-2  halflime  lead.  '  The  Clarkmen 
were  slow  in  finding  the  range  of  the 
Delaware  net. 

The  Shoremen  bounded  back  after 
intermission  to  score  four  goals  in 
the  third  period  and  five  in  the 
fourth,  while  the  Hens  could  only 
slip  three  pasi  goalie  Russell  during 
the  entire  second  half.  ^ 

Bobby  Jackson  scored  the  first  tal- 
ly of  the  contest  as  the  Maroon  and 
Black  took  an  early  lead.  But  the  Del- 
aware ten  bounded  back  with  three 
straight  goals  before  Larry  Leonard 
fired  one  into  the  goal.  Both  Jackson 
and  Leonard  were  credited  with  three 
goals  apiece  and  were  the  main  coga 
in  the  Sho'  second  half  rally. 

Bcrnie  Rudo  and  John  Grim  scor- 
ed two  each  in  the  second  half,  while 
Bob  Lipsiiz  scored  one. 

Delaware  midfielder,  Don  Scher, 
was  high  man  for  the  losers  with  three 
scores,  all  of  which  were  made  on  an 
extra  man  play. 

The  stickmen  will  face-off  with  Bal- 
timore U  this  afternoon  on  Kibler 
Field  in  a  contest  loug  awaited  by 
many  lacrosse  followers.  The  Bees  own 
a  seven  and  three  record  and  will  be 
gunning  for  their  eighth  win  in  this, 
their  final  game  of  the  year. 

The  Baltimorcans  have  two  high- 
scoring  midfielders  in  the  persons  of 
Mike  DePasquale  and  Joe  McFadden, 
both  former  prep  school  stars.  The 
Bees  play  a  possession  type  of  ball, 
and  will  be  out  to  avenge  their  defeat 
by  the  Shoremen  in  "51.

squad  continued  its  bid  for  national 
collegiate  honors  last  Saturday  by  de- 
feating the  Shoremen,  16  to  6. 

It  was  the  Cavaliers'  seventh  con- 
secutive will  against  one  defeat.  The 
Southerner!'  scoring  strength  came 
from  the  sticks  of  Gordie  Jones  and 
Dick  Godine  who  dented  the  Sho'  nets 
for  5  and  4  goals  respectively.  These 
two  Cavaliers  have  led  their  team 
during  their  last  seven  wins,  the  lat- 
ter tallying  at  the  rate  of  3,6  goals 
per  game. 

Tom  Corapton  fired  a  shot  into  the 
Washington  goal  in  the  opening  min- 
utes of  play  and  his  teammates  add- 
ed three  more  before  Larry  Leonard 
was  able  (o  break  a  shot  past  Goalie 
-Moore  late  in  the  first  period. 

Coach  Bob  Fuller's  squad  hit  for 
five  goals  in  the  second  period  to 
grab  a  9-2  lead  at  intermission.  The 
Orange  and  Blue  outscorcd  the  Clark- 
men  3-1  and  4-2  in  the  last  two  quart- 
ers to  win  readily.  Leonard  scored  one 
more  goal  and  was  followed  hy  Gra- 
ham Menzies,  Bob  Jackson,  Dob  Lip- 
sit;  and  John  Grim,  to  complete  the 
Washington  scoring.

CONGRATULATIONS  AND  GOOD  LUCK 

Every  Junp  someone  writes  a  special  piece  to  the  graduating 
scmois— wishing  them  well  and  describing  in  vague  forni— what's 
ahead  of  them.  nhv.iys  emphasizing  that  a  lot  depends  upon  the 
way  tlnv  will  Ouiik  and  act— and  it  does.  But  it  ^eems  Tlte  it  has 
all  bf'it  ^aid  so  nianv  times  that  you  seniors  have  a  pretty  good  idea 
of  wl-r--t*s  ahead -?nd  certainly  by  now  you  knnw  what  your  place 
in  tin   *^orld  is  going  to  be— so  we  won't  mention  it. 

Hcu-ever,  tliere  I^  a  little  bit  of  advice— it  comes  from  an  anon- 
■^■niou-  .m'.hor  who  seemed  to  understand  human  nature  a  little  bet- 
ter lh.111  most  of  u'-.  With  ungrantcd  permission  we  would  like  to 
take  liiis  opportunity  to  pass  it  on. 

Rcmeniher  This — 

Be  good,  but  not  ton  good  ...  a  little  naughtv,  but  rot 

loo  naughty  .  .  .  Say  a  prayer  if  you  feel  that  way.  say  damn  if  it 
gi^T'  V  JU  consolation, 

Be  kind  to  the  world  always,  if  possible  ...  yet  if  you 

must  "re  unkind,  smash  right  and  left ...  get  it  over  with  and  forget 
it  .  -  Smile,  ahva^-s  smile,  have  a  smile  ready  even  though  some- 
tini?-N  it  hurts  .  .  .  Grab  all  the  happiness  you  can  .  .  .'wherever  and 
wlie!:iA-er  you  can  .  .  .  don't  even  let  a  wee  bit  slip  past  you  .  .  . 
Liv-,  r:I>ove  all  things  live,  don't  simply  exist 

If  you  are  blessed  enough  to  know  what  real  love  is  .  .  . 

love  V  ith  all  your  heart-  soul  and  body. 

Live  your  life  so  that  at  any  hour  you  will  be  able  to  shake 

har-Hs  with  yaurself  and  tr\-  to  accomplish  at  least  one  thing  worth- 
■while  each  day  .  .  .  Then  whee.  your  nights  com?  you  w-ll  be  able  to 
puU  iij>  the  covers  ind  say  to  youi-self — "I  have  done  my  best." 

Goiid  lu.-:k— and  congratulations  seniors! 


That  first  week  of  school  in  1951  — 
eager  freshmen,  ihc  nppcrclassmcn  act- 
ing as  though  ihcy  had  been  here 
for  fifty  years  —  impromptu  partie* 
anikJ  paint  and  unpacking — the  frcsli- 
man  danec  that  alwav's  starts  at  Ica.sl 
one  romance — tlicn  Monday  morning 
classes  and  a  new  existence  for  the 
freshmen — the  old  swing  for  the  rest. 

Sophomores  start  hazing  —  nanir 
tags  and  beanies  dot  the  campus — a 
mud  bath  for  those  who  rebel  and  a 
Renernl  ransacking  of  a  few  rooms 
in  Rcid  Hall  by  a  couple  of  fiendish 
uppcrrlass  girls — sawdust  in  retalia- 
tion. 

No  football  team — but  we  all  had 
that  autumn  spirit — Sarurda>'S  brought 
picnics  at  the  Cliffs — or  if  it  rained— 
your  i;uess  is  as  cood  as  ours!  We 
traveled  to  Baltimore  for  football 
gani-^s — and  more  parties — ar.d  we 
studied  for^luebooks  from  new  pro- 
fesors. 

Honors  canie  for  five  seniors — ODK  j 
added    new    men    lo    the    ranks— [or 
outstanding   leadership   —   and   thm  | 
\Vho's   Who   picked    eleven    that    w  | 
chout^ht  were  an  indespensible  pan  of 
the   college   cojnp us— these   were    ih^ 
seniors  thai  really  worked — the  rcco.;- 
nition    was    nice    but    what    they    gnX 
out  of  their  jobs  was  better. 

Then  Hoinecoriing — we  missed  ih 
parade  but  liked  seeing  the  alumni- 
the  usual  party  prevailed  at  the  ari;i- 
ory — ail  too  soon  we  were  looking  fi.>: 
the  Thanksgiving  holidays — studying 
for  a  second  set  of  bluebooks — anc' 
donning  the  winter  coats — the  fall  sure 
flew  by. 

Christraaa  seemed  better  this  year 
than  ever — the  spirit  caught  hold  of 
the  campus  two  weeks  before  the  holly 
and    ribbons   were   taken  out  of  stor- 


oU  brought  the  crowds — and  ptr  usual 
we   lost. 

Second  semester  and  we  were  all 
off  to  a  good  start — or  what  we  hop.-d 
was  a'gtiod  start.  The  Phi  Sigs  went 
national  over  the  semester  vacation — 
in  tuxes — grades  put  the  ,\.O.Pi's  on 
lop  with  2.1.  Enrollment  wes  down--

cooperation,  loyalty,  spirit,  and  industry,  contributed  most  to  the 
development  of  athletics  at  the  college.  ^ 

Howard,  who  was  captain  of  the  track  team,  was  also  a  member 
of  the  baseball  squad  and  has  been  the  only  athlete  at  this  scljool  to 
ever  compare  with  the  immortal  Gibby  Young. 

Rudo  Awarded  Trophy 

The  Murray  Wolman  trophy,  presented  to  the  outstanding  la- 
crosse player  of  the  season,  was  awarded  to  Bernie  Rudo.  Rudo  has 
been  a  member  of  Coach  Clark's  lacrosse  squad  for  four  years,  dur- 
ing which  time  he  has  been  a  credit  to  the  team  and  to  the  school. 

The  final  award  presentation  was  made  by  Coach  Athcy  who 
acclaimed  the  diligent  work  of  Tom  Hederman,  manager  of  the. 
basketball  and  baseball  team.s. 

All-Stars  Named. 

Coach  Chariic  Clark  announced  the  names  of  three  members

1  he  Shoremen  scored  11  points 
nd  turned  in  a  creditable  perform- 
ance in  a  field  of  tweniy-two  colleges 
and  universities.  Onte  again  it  was 
captain  Kenny  Howard  who  pointed

The  '-">2  tennis  squad  experienced 
its  best  season  in  the  last  four  years, 
concluding  the  campaign  with  an  8 
and  2  log. 

Led  by  captain  Gary  Wyckoff,  Bruce 
Wyckoff,  and  Jack  Smith,  the  netinen 
barely  missed  the  Northern  Division 
Championship,  losing  a  close  de- 
cision  to  Johns   Hopkins. 

Highlighting  the  season  was  Smith's 
outstanding  perforrriancc  in  ~  singles 
play.  He  successfully  closed  his  ca- 
reer here  at  the  Shore  school  with  a 
perfect  10  for  10  record.  In  addition 
to  this,  he  teamed  with  G.  Wyckoff 
in   the  doubles   to  form  another  win- 

ig  combination. 

Lost  Opener 

The  racqneteers  opened  their  season 
against  Catholic  U.  who  defeated  the 
Shoremen,  S'  to  2.  However,  the  squad 
avenged  this  defeat  by  capturing  G 
consecutive  matches. 

Western  Md.  was  beaten  7-2  as  the 
Washingionians  won  4  of  6  singles 
and  made  a  clean  sweep  of  the  doubles.

The  team  will  be  hard  hit  by  the 
^'raduation  of  the  Wyckoff  brothers 
and  Smith.  All  three  have  played  4 
years  for  the  Sho'  team  and  will  be 
forely  missed.

B.  U.  Set 
For  Revenge 


When  the  Baltimore  University  dia- 
mond forces  take  to  the  field  today 
at  2  P.M..  you  can  be  sure  they  will 
give  no  quarter,  nor  ask  for  any  in 
return. 

The  Kiblermen  almost  prevented 
the  Northern  Division  Champions 
from  capturing  their  crown.  Ihe  Bees 
were  coasting  along  at  the  top  of  the 
Mason-Dixon  loop  when  the  Shore- 
men clumped  them  9  to  5,  and  threw 
the  B.U  squad  into  a  tie  with  Loyola 
College. 

The  Bees  managed  to  split  a  dou- 
ble-header with  Western  Md..  while 
Loyola  lost  to  Hopkins,  and  once

Captain,  led  the  Shoremen  in  scor- 
ing with  23  goals  while  contributing 
nine  a.ssists.  Larry  Leonard,  of  An- 
polis,  assumed  the  Icatiership  in 
the  -important  department  of  assists 
with  thirty-nine,  and  scored  nineteen 
[oals.  For  three  previous  seasons,  the 
oinbination  of  Menzies  to  Ray  Wood, 
AU-Amcrican  of  Washington  College 
n  1951,  was  the  most  elTeciivc  scor- 
ing maneuver.  This  year,  however, 
Leonard  frequently  connected  with 
Bob  Lipsitj;  for  the  most  clfective 
punch.  Lipsitz.  taking  over  \Vood's 
crease  job,  scored  24  goals  to  rank 
second  to  Mendes  in  that  depart-

Coach  Kibler  has  the  difficult  task 
of  choosing  between  either  Cooper 
DeLoach  or  Kenny  Sullivan  lo  start 
today's  game. 

DeLoach  was  responsible  for  the  9-5 

in  over  the  Bees,  while  Sullivan  was 

credited   with  a   no-hitter  against  Mt,

SATURDAY,  SEPTEMBER  20.  1952 


Welcome  To  'The  Hill' -Class  Of  1956! 


West  Hall  To  House  K.A.  's;  , 
East  Hall  Is  Panhellenic 


As  p;iit  cif  tho  long  range  planning  program^  of  Washington 
College,  a  switch  in  dormitories  and  one  fraternity  house  resulted 
this  fall.  Announcement  came  during  the  summer  from  Dr.  Daniel 
Z.  Gibson,  President  of  the  College. 

Kappa  Alpha  Order,  national  fraternity  on  the  Hill,  was  the 
first  to  change.     They  will  move  from  their  house  on  Washington 

.\venuc  to  West  Hill  upon  its  com  pi  <;-<?> 

lion.    Their  fraternity  house  was  tak- 
en   because   of   the   need    of    interior 
decorating  and    because  of   the 
cd  space  available  for  members 

West  Hall  when  ftnishcd  will  have 
a  completely  new  interior.  The  walls 
will  be  made  of  two  materials.  The 
lower  half  will  consist  of  a  tongh. 
impregnable  composition  and  the  up- 
per half  will  be  plaster.  The  ceilings 
will  be  made  of  acouittic  tile  and  the 
doors  of  asphalt  tile.  Each  floor  will 
have  a  tile  bath  with  stall  showi 
and  ceramic  tile  floors. 

The  lower  level  will  consist  of 
33'  by  17'  fraternity  room,  a  lounge 
21'  by  21'  which  will  be  used  as  a 
meeting  place  for  alumni  at  reunions 
and  homecomings,  a  powder  and  a 
store  room. 

The  first  floor  will  have  a  suite  of 
two  rooms  and  bath  for  the  house  di- 
rector. It  will  also  consist  of  three 
double  rooms  and  one  single  room. 
The  second  and  third  floors  will  each 
have  four  double  and  two  single 
looms.  In  all.  the  dormitory  will 
house  27  men. 


The    dctis 


was      made 
s  and  C.overno] 


by    the 
i  in  the 


jpring  lo  completely  renovate  each  of 
the  three  dormitories  on  the  Hill. 

When  this  job  is  completed  and  the 
wings  are  added  to  Somerset  House, 
each  of  the  fraternities  will  have  quart- 
ers provided  for  iheni  in  the  individual 
dorms,  and  ihc  members  of  ihe  fra- 
ternities will  have  first  choice  of  rooms 
in  the  respective  dorms. 

The  houses  which  are  noiv  being 
used  by  the  fraternities  will,  in  turn, 
he  convened  into  homes  for  the  fac 
uliy. 

The   other   doi 


»ry  change  con- 
cerned Middle  and  East  Halls.  Middle 
Hall,  formerly  the  dorm  for  uppei 
class  women,  will  be  taken  over  by 
male  students.  East  Hall,  in  turn,  has 
been  convened  into  a  "I'anhellenic' 
hall,  housing  only  junior  and  senior 
sorority  girls. 

All   sorority   rooms  will   now  be  lo- 
cated iu  East  Hall.     Mrs.  Marguerite 
Wellham     will     continue     as   Housc- 
her  for  the  girls  and  has  been  giv- 
3  suite  of  rooms  on  the  first  floor 
of  the  dorm. 

-\ll   freshman,  sophomore  and  non- 
sorority  women  will  live  in  Reid  Hall, 
the    top    floor    being    given    to    fresh- 
exclusively.

NOTICE; 

Students  from  all  four  classes, 
including  seniors,  will  attend 
the  tvcekly   assembly. 

Freshmen  will  be  ret|uired  to 
attend  all  evening  concerts.  Ab- 
sences will  be  counted  the  same 
as  absences  from  a5.scmbly. 

Upperclass  students  may  sat- 
isfy assembly  attendance  for  the 
week  that  a  concert  is  sdicdultd 
by  attending  the  concert.  Stu- 
dent will  give  the  usher  a  3  x  .'i 
card  with  hJs  name,  class  and

"The  backroom"  work  on  the  fund 
raising  campaign  for  Washington  Col- 
lege got  olf  to  a  bright  start  Thurs- 
day. Flash  bulbs  .ind  clicking  shut- 
ten  plus  thirty  smiling  students  were 
the  beginning  of  a  wide  publicity  plan 
to  inform  alumni  and  friends  of  the 
college  and  its  needs. 

Directing  the  work  from  \V'ashing- 
ton  College  is  Herbert  Richman,  of 
Marsz  &  Lundy,  an  alumnus  of  Rut- 
gci-s.  He  has  done  similar  work  in 
Roanoke  College  and  Allegany  Col- 
lege. Mr.  Richman  will  be  in  chaise 
of  this  work  imtil  June. 

Long  range  plaiming  for  "the 
Washington  College  of  the  future" 
brought  about  the  campaign.  Last 
spring  a  sui^vey  tvas  made  to  determine 
the  possibility  of  such  a  move  which 
included  138  personal  interviews 
with  friends,  alumni  and  parents  of 
students  enrolled  at  W.C.  Results 
showed  great  interest  in  the  school 
and  assurance  of  full  cooperation 
during  the  drive. 

The  planning,  announced  Inst 
spring,  would  not  take  shape  for  four 
or   five    years   and    would    be   contin- 


new  girls'  dormitory,  a  student  ecu 
ler  building,  field  house  and  the  ad- 
dition of  wings  to  Somerset  House. 
These  would  go  along  with  plans  to 
enlarge  the  euollmeni  of  the  school 
to  five  hundred  or   more. 

The  "kickoff "  for  the  campaign 
will  be  Homecoming  week-end, 
which  hundre<Is  of  alumni  have  been 
invited.  This  year  the  convocation, 
oflicialiy  opening  the  school  year,  will 
take  place  at  the  same  time,  featur- 
ing John  J.  McCloy,  former  high 
commissioner  [or  Germany,  as  speak- 
er. .-\lso  at  this  time,  plans  will  be 
announced  concerning  the  campnign 
and   the  goal  will   be  set. 

Picture  brochures  will  be  a  pan 
if  the  drive  and  will  include  those 
taken  here  Thursday.  These  will  be 
to  areas  where  the  campaign  is 
in  progress  a  short  lime  before  the 
personal   interviews   are  made.

provided  for  at  the  time  of  tegular

Students  reporting, late  or  who  some- 
how failed  to  register  cars  at  the  I

"Welcome",  according  to  Wpbstcr.  means  "to  be  received  glad- 
ly into  the  presence  of  others."  And  seeing  that  Webster  is  our 
constant  companion  on  the  ELM.  we  will  use  his  word  welcome 
with  a  capital  W  on  behalf  of  the  uppcrrlassmen  of  Washington 
College,  and  extend  it  to  you,  the  Class  of  '56. 

Of  course.  1956  sounds  like  a  long  way  off.  But.  ask  anyone 
who  has  been  to  college  and  they  will  tell  you  that  the  time  flics 
by  so  fast  that  you  often  wonder  where  it  went.  This  may  be  ac- 
countable to  the  fact  that  college  is  a  new  way  of  life  to  most. 
It  is  an  ever  present  challenge  to  your  most  important  task  in  life 
....  getting  along  with  people,  all  kinds  of  people. 

But  this  is  true  in  any  college  and  we  are  interested  in  wel- 
coming you  to  Washington  College.  W^e  can  speak  from  experi- 
ence and  say  "We  know  you  will  like  it",  but  we'll  also  speak  from 
experience  and  say  "We  hope  you  like  us."  We  think  you  will  find 
a  fierce  loyalty  among  the  student  body  for  the  school,  and  hope 
■  That  you  may  develop  the  same.  Of  course  you  will  hear  and  be 
part  of  the  constant  grumbling  and  criticism  about  exams,  rules 
and  professors,  etc.,  that  take  place.  But  just  let  someone  outside 
your  little  clan  try  to  criticize  and  watch  the  hairs  rise  on  your 
back. 

Being  a  freshman,  we  think,  is  about  the  best  part  of  college. 
(Even  if  the  sophomores  with  their  hazing  period  tell  you  you're 
the  lowest  thing  on  earth.)  You  are  the  center  of  attraction  for 
one  solid  year.  The  rest  of  the  students  are  watching  to  see  how 
you'll  develop  as  a  class,  what  new  ideas  you  will  bring  out,  what 
Iraders  you  will  produce.  You  will  be  making  new  friends  fast  and 
furiously,  the  kind  of  friends  you'll  consider  your  "best"  when  you 
finally  walk  up  to  get  that  diploma. 

College  years  are  some  of  the  best,  and  Washington  College 
years  we  think  are  the  best.  We  hope  you  will,  too.  Again  may 
we  say.  \Velcome  Freshmen.  We're  proud  to  have  you  become  a 
— part  of  Washington  College.

Medical  College

Senior  premedical  seniors  or  juniors 
who  are  planning  to  make  application 
to  medical  school  for  1933  are  advis- 
ed to  lake  the  Medical  School  .Admis- 
sion Test  on  November  3.  1952.  Appli- 
cation lo  take  the  lest  must  be  filed 
with  the  Educational  Testing  Service

.Applications   can    be     secured    from 
Dean    Livinftood. 


To  most  incoming  [rcshmcn,  riif 
President  of  a  college  is,  in  then 
imagination,  ihe  unseen  man,  wli" 
makes  ihc  policies,  appcai-s  ai  ecu- 
lies  in  a  long  black  robe,  and  i-. 
much  too  busy  to  be  bothered  with 
insignificant  little  student.  .-\nd  in 
most  large  colleges,  we'll  venuuc  if 
a  raajoriiy  of  the  sludenis  know 
the  prcsidciu's  name  and  wliai  lie 
looks  like,  then  let  it  go. 

But.  there's  a  well  beaten  path  acio-^s 

e  carpet  in  the  northeast  cnnici 
of  William  Smith  Hall.  And.  as  it  is 
in  other  president's  offices,  it  has  been 
used  by  prominent  men  in  all  field> 
and  outstanding  scholars.  Howevci. 
we'll  guarantee  that  the  last  inch  lias 
been  worn  by  AVashinglon  Colle);c 
students  who  just  enjoy  getting  to 
inow  their  president,  Dr.  Daniel  /• 
Gibson. 

Heie,  behind  a  massive  de.sk.  sui- 
ronndcd  by  books  and  pictures  of 
future  campus  buildings,  sits  the 
•'conimander-in-chicC"  on  the  Hill. 
And,  despite  his  many  duties  in  this 
capacity  in  ilie  field  of  education, 
he  lias  found  time  to  be  the  "friend 
in  need"  of  the  siudeiUs.  always  avail- 
able when   you  need  him   the  most. 

Since  bis  coming  to  VVasbingion 
College  in  1950.  Dr.  Gibson  has  proved 
himself  to  be  viially  interested  in  ihc 
ludents,  their  activities  and  iheir  ai- 
iludcs.  He  is  a  staunch  supporter  oi 
Student  Government  and  has  been  in- 
strunicnial  in  trying  to  get  it  ai 
W.C. 

He  has  actively  supported  studeiu 
activities  and  helped  out  on  counties.', 
occasions  with  their  problems.  And 
most  of  all,  be  seems  to  be  alwaj-s 
ready  for  that  proverbial  cbat  over 
a  cup  of  coffee  concerning'  campus 
problems  or  just  things  in  general, 

.Aside  from  this  role  as  "Mr,  An- 
thony". Dr.  G.ibson  is  in  every  sense 
an  educator,  having  spent  more  than 
half  of  his  years  in  association  with 
educational  institutions.  He  came  to 
Washington  College  from  Franklin  & 
Marshall  College  where  he  served  as 
Dean  for  four  years.  Prior  to  that  he 
«*as  a  member  of  the  English  depart- 
ment of  The  Citadel,  in  Charleston. 
South  Carolina.  He  also  served  as 
the  executive  officer  of  the  Naval 
Training  Unit  at  Franklin  .'i:  Marshall 
and  following  his  discharge  took  the 
post  of  dean   for  that  school.

The  "freshman  week"  is  over  and 
suddenly  you  come  to  the  siark  rcali- 
^a^ion  that  you're  in  college,  going  to 
classes  at  terrible  hours  in  ihe  morn- 
ing and  taking  exams  on  Saturday! 
Life  was  never  like  ihisl 

You  wake  up  on  a  Atonday  morn- 
ing, full  of  ibe  week-end's  activities, 
lo  the  harsh  hell  of  ihe  alarm.  It's 
so  dark  they  haven't  even  turned  olf 
the  street  lightsl  Groping  your  way 
to  your  toothbrush,  you  manage  to 
get  sixth  place  in  line  at  the  wash 
basin.  Classes  have  started.  There 
isn't  much  talk  this  early 
morning  except  a  sleepy  utli 
'what  time's  breakfast?"  It's  then 
when  you  realize  that  you  have  eX' 
ictly  seven  minutes  lo  be  washed  and 
dressed  and  at  the  dining  ball.  II 
there's  one  thing  you  learn  at  col- 
lege, it's  how  to  get  dressed  in  three 
minutes  flat  in  the  morning.  By  i 
ime  you  hnally  manage  lo  arrive 
he  dining  hall,  you've  used  up  so 
much  energy  that  you  think  you  could 
::at  a  big  steak  dinner  bui  you  make 
cereal  and  eggs  do. 

Wiih  eating  out  of  the  way  until 
noon,  you  start  lo  class.  Here's  where 
you  meet  the  professor  thai  likes  his 
classes  on  ihc  third  floor  or  who 
keeps  the  windows  wide  open,  even  in 
January  just  to  make  sure  you  slay 
awake.  If  you're  lucky,  you  have  a 
break  somewhere  during  the  morning. 
Just  enough  lime  to  that  over  a  cup 
of  colfce  in  the  Snack  Bar  and  gel 
your  mail.  Enough  time  did  we  say? 
Beware    when    ihe    mail    comes    in!    If 


I  have  evei 


wild  » 


le      cattle    siampcdes,      you'll 
'hat    we   mean.     The     crowd 
stands   six    deep    and    inevitably    when 
lu    have    finally    reached    your    box 
\d  have  started  the  combination,  an 
elbow   jabs   you    in    the    face   and    you 
have    to    start    all    over    again.     Best 
recommendation  to  remedy  this  we've 
heard  is  to  take  turns  with  your  room- 
mate getting  the  mail. 

The  rest  of  the  day  goes  pretty 
much  without  confusion,  unless  you 
acquire  the  terrible  habii  of  naps  af- 
icr  lunch.  Then  you  go  through  that 
horrible  business  of  alarm  clocks  and 
rushing  around  again,  unless  you  have 
an  understanding  r(X)mmaie  that  w 
wake  you  up  in  lime  to  get  to 
2:30  class.  You  may  think  .  .  .  naps 
arc  for  kids,  but  just  wait  till  you 
start  studying  for  an  exam  and  burn 
ing  the  candle  thru  the  wee  hours. 
You'll  be  lucky  if  you  gei  up  for  din 

This  studying  business,  according  tc 
educator:!,  should  not  be  done  at  once, 
nor   should    you    stay   up   so   laic    thai 
you  won't  be  fresh  when  you  take 
exam  .  .  .  Bui,  wc  have  found  that  the 
average    student    here    at    Washing 
College  does  just  that  and  we  are 
minded  of  the  student  who  studied 
night    and    then    slep    righi     through 
the  exam.     Take  heed,  friends.  They 
net    nothing   but  a   zero  in    the  gradi 
books, 

{Of  course,  ibis  is  the 
college,  the  side  that  gels 
cism,    all    the    grumbling.

it.) 

"1  here  is  the  play  side,  too,  and  that 
means  to  most  of  us,  Homecoming. 
(Which  we  have  found  by  the  way. 
ns  very  little  to  ihe  freshmen). 
They  don'i  know  any  of  these  frost- 
bitten alumni  that  come  back  from 
he  cold,  cold  world  .  .  .  cigar  in 
iioulh  with  that  eternal  greeting 
'Good  to  see  ya — ya  don't  know  how 
lucky  you  are!"  But  freshmen  join  in 
the  gayety  and  manage  to  meet  a 
few  hundred  more  people,  old  friends 
of  their  new  friends  and  ilie  circle 
becomes  wider  and  wider.  This  week- 
end, loo,  presents  the  first  formal 
dance.  This  is  the  boon  to  the  gals 
who  heretofore  have  been  dres.sing 
like  streaks  of  lightning.  Scrambles 
for  the  showers  start  about  six  (ihc 
dance  is  at  9)  and  the  lines  for  the 
irons  stretches  inio  the  twenties.  You 
run  around  borrowing  earrings  and 
hoop  skirls  and  shoes  and  finally,  af- 
ter keeping  the  date  waiting  for  a 
gotMl  twenty  minutes  (which  you've 
been  longing  to  do  for  a  month  or 
so)  you  arrive  ai  the  lop  of  the  stairs 
in  all  your  gliiter  and  splendor, 
(about  half  of  which  really  belongs 
lo  you). 

With  the  real  fall  weaihcr  in  the 
air  you  start  thinking  about  Thanks- 
giving vacation  and  counting  days. 
There's  plenty  to  take  up  your  lime 
between  ihcn,  however.  The  plays 
I  begin,  the  sports  arc  in  full  swing,  ex-

Willi  (Sports  Editor)  Ellsworth  Boyd 


OncL'  again  the  Maroon  and  Black  football  uniforms  remain 
in  mnth  balls  while  the  other  fall  sports  swing  into  action. 

However,  the  Shore  school  seems  to  have  survived  the  death  of 
its  gridiron  power  last  season  and  school  spirit  is  still  intact.  With 
Coach  Ncsbitt  gunning  for  a  bang-up  season  on  the  pitch  and 
Coach  Athcy's  harriers  pointing  for  three  championship  meets,  the 
two  major  sports  on  the  hill  seem  further  advanced  than  they 
usually  are  at  this  time  of  the  year. 

The  touch  football  teams  will  soon  be  organized  and  the  la- 
crosse hopefuls  will  also  be  running  through  a  few  fall  drill  sessions. 
And  to  this  the  athletic  department  has  added  a  new  intramural 
feature. 

Athletic  director,  Edward  L.  Athcy,  has  consented  to  the  ad- 
dition of  an  intramural  cross-country  race  to  Washington  College's  | 
fall  sports  program.  This  race  is  to  be  similar  to  those  run  at  the 
large   universities  and  small  colleges  throughout  the  East. 

Ten  medals  arc  being  offered  as  prizes.  A  gold  one  to  the  win- 
ner, silver  to  the  next  five,  and  bronze  to  the  next  four  who  cross 
the  finish.  The  course  has  been  laid  out  over  the  campus,  the 
distance  being  1.5  miles.  The  race,  which  will  be  held  October  7 
is  open  to  all  upper  classmen  and  freshmen  who  have  not  competed 
on  any  college  varsity  cross-country  team. 

Entries  arc  to  be  filed  with  Coaches  Nesbitt  or  Athey,  on  or 
before  October  5. 

The  athletic  department  extends  a  cordial  welcome  to  the  large 
freshmen  class  and  encourages  their  participation  in  Washington 
College  athletics.  Remember,  the  sports  are  here  for  you — bac!

drag  a  Utile  toward  the  enil  and  you 
get  pretty  anxious  to  get  back  to  all 
the  confusion  of  classes  and  people. 
.\nd  it's  in  January  when  the  con- 
fiiiion  really  starts.  Semester  exams, 
you'll  rue  the  day  they  were  ever  in- 
enied.  You  have  your  two  worst 
mes  on  the  same  day,  then  a  lapse  ol 
cveral  days,  and  three  more.  Or  they 
rill  go  one  a  day  until  you  think 
you  don't  have  the  strength  to  go 
hrough  with  one  more.  That's  all  you 
talk  about  for  a  week,  you  go  around 
looking  like  you've  lost  your  last 
friend,  comparing  notes  with  another 
imate,  finding  to  your  complete 
honor  that  you  have  the  exact  op- 
posite names  and  dates  in  your 
notes.  But  you  manage,  and  again, 
you  can  look  hack  and  laugh  at  your 
antics.  "It  was  really  nothing"  you 
explain  to  your  family  and  friends 
it  home  as  yon  relate  the  horrors  of 
exams,  assuming  a  martyr-like  tone 
oice.  .'\nd  before  you  know  it,  it 
was  really  nothing  and  you're  ready 
to  start  all  over  again  with  "life  at 
\\'ashingion  College." 


Washington  College  was  once  again 
well  represented  in  the  annual  North- 
South  .-XU-Star  lacrosse  game  played 
last  spring  in  New  York,  as  the  Shore 
school's  three  candidates  played  out- 
standing   bull    for    the    Rebels. 

Bill  Bonnett,  Larry  Leonard,  and 
Bob  Jackson  filled  in  the  defense,  at- 
tack, and  midficld  positions  respective- 
ly as  the  latter  player  scored  the  sec- 
ond goal  of  the  game  for  the  South. 

Not  only  did  Jackson  have  a  hand 
in  the  scoring,  but  also  started  I  he 
skirmish  and  remained  in  it  for  a 
reasonably  long  period  of  lime. 

Larry  Leonard  accredited  himsell 
with  two  assists  while  setting  up  nu 
merous  screen  plays.  Dill  Bonnett'^ 
rugged  defensive  play  was  noted     by 

as    he    thwarted    many    of 
Yankees'   scoring  aticmpis. 

The  South  squad  won  handily,  as 
ihey  swamped  the  North  in  the  sec- 
ond half  of  play. 

Coach  Charles  B.  Clark  not  only 
finished  the  season  with  a  fine  rec- 
ord for  his  Slick  squad,  hut  also  was 
honored  to  have  four  of  his  men  men- 
tioned on  the  .All-.\merican  lacrosse 
team.  These  were  Jackson.  Bonneit, 
Leonard,  and  Graham   Menzies. 

Beginning  October  1,  Coach  Clark 
will  be  holding  three  fall  Iacros.s 
practice  ses:<ion.s  a  week  for  those 
candidates  who  are  not  participating 
in  soccer  or  cross-country.  Credit  will 
be  given  for  physical  education  class- 
es, and  anyone  interested  is  urged  to 
attend. 

Intramurals  Begin 

The  athletic  department  is  urging 
any  organization,  fraleniiiy,  or  dorm 
ihat  wishes  to  compete  in  the  intra- 
mural touch  football  league,  to  please 
file  the  names  of  their  ptayere  in  the 
olfice  immediately. 

The  teams  this  year  are  to  be  made 
up  of  six  men,  the  games  beginning! 
II  October  1,  .An  organization,  fra- 
Tniiy,  Or  dormitory  may  enter  morel 
ban    one    team    if    desired. 


Ncsbitt  Looks  For 
Banner  Season 

The  ontset  of  the  1931  soccer  sea- 
son was  one  of  perplexity  and  doubt 
for  coach  Howie  Nesbitt  who  was 
left  with  but  five  returning  letter- 
men  plus  a  large  group  of  new  inex- 
perienced operatives. 

ut  come   the  '52   campaign,  coach 

Nesbitt    is   rejoicing   and   gazing   iiiio 

his  crystal  ball  with  the  biggest  smile 

cr.      He   has    been   blessed   with    ten 

urning    letieimen.    a    handful      ol 

experienced      rcser^'es,      and      several 

promising   freshmen    hooters. 

Grim   Captains  Squad 

A  stalwart    performer  on    the  piiqh, 

John   Grim,  return.s  as  the  1952  cap- 

lin   and    will   once   again   grace   one 

of    the    fullback   slots.     Along     n-iih 

n    is   veteran    Bill    Russell,   whose 

experience  as   a   fullback     will    make 

a    valuable   asset    to   this   year's 

squad. 

Coach  Nesbitt  has  reason  to  be  op- 
timistic toward  the  team  when  he  Tills 
the  halfback  positions.  Ted  Bcddow, 
Dough  Tilley,  and  Rod  Ware  are 
three  reliable  head  and  toe  artists 
uhose  play  was  noteworthy  at  this  po- 
ion  last  season. 

For»vard  Line  V/eak 
The  dark  cloud  in  this  sky  of  blue 
IS  the  weakness  of  the  forward  line. 
Joe  Geissler  and  Dick  Weller  are 
\eieran  hooters  on  this  line,  the  lat- 
ter scoring  five  goals  in  '51  to  lead 
the  team  scoring.  However,  Nesbitt 
must  add  strength  up  front  to  cope 
iMih  a  rugged  ten  game  schedule. 

The  absence  of  George  Horn,  Ken 
Howard,  W'sXi  Ortel,  Juan  Hernandez, 
George  Wiederreht.  and  Bill  Kaber- 
nagel  will  be  felt,  but  there  is  ample 
replacement  in  Bill  Barneii.  Hank 
Mdzurski,-  Mchdi-  -Djahanbaiii,  and 
Henry  Flynn. 

Goalies  Plentiful 
At  the  goal  position  will  be  "old 
liable"  Butch  McHugh.  and  Rip 
SewcU.  .'Mong  with  these  veteran 
net  minders  is  Joe  Szymanski,  fresh- 
man prospect  from  Baltimore.  Szy- 
ki  was  named  to  the  prep  all- 
star  team  of  Maryland  while  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Patterson  Park  High 
School  squad  last  year. 

record  of  two  wins,  five  losses, 
and  three  ties  was  (halked  up  by  the 
Shoremen  last  season.  Although  their 
ten  game  schedule  is  far  from  a 
pushover,  the  Maroon  and  Black 
pitchmen  will  be  gunning  for  "a  ban- 
ner season"  when  the  drill  sessions 
begin    Monday,    September   22.

Although  Saniulli  plans  to  complete 

his    college    education    before    signing

tefore  joining  the  staff  of  our  East-

Mr.  Ogden  is  a  graduate  of  Swarth-

As  student  procurmcnt  director,  Mr. 
'Juden  is  vitally  inte/estcd  in  learning 
about  high  school  seniors  who  are 
planning  to  attend  college  and  live 
your    hometown.    Information    of 


.ind  dispf-nsarj'  whiuh  is  due  to  opi 
m  the  middle  of  October.  The  offices 
which   previously    have   been    used    b> 
the    men    for    athletic    offices    will    be 
the  site  for  this  new  set  up. 

This  was  considered  the  best  place 

because    of    its    central     location    on 

campus.  It  will  consist  of  a  dispensary 

where  simple  medication 

may  be  obtained.  The  inner  office  will 

made_  into   a   men's    infirmary. 

Although  the  dispensary  will  serve 
both  men  and  women,  the  women's 
infirmary  will  remain  in  Reid  Hall. 
The  dispensary  will  be  under  the  dir- 
ection of  Mrs.  William  Billcr  who  is 
now  serving  as  a  pra^lieal  nurji:  al 
Kent  County  Hospital.  Dr.  Gulbran- 
sen,  our  new  college  physician,  will 
replace  Dr.  Ensor  who  has  been  called 
into  the  Armed  Forces. 

All  excuses  from  classes  mifst  be 
gotten  from  Mrs.  Bitler.  She  will  also 
get  meals  for  patients,  from  Hodson 
Hall.  This  new  dispensary  will  not 
serve  as  a  hospital.  All  cases  whlrh 
need  hospitalization  will  go  to  Keni 
County   Hospital. 

In  previous  years  when  a  student 
became  \\\  he  would  have  to  report  his 
illness  to  the  proctor  who  in  turn 
would  make  arrangements  for  a  doctor 
to  call.  The  doctor  made  his  rounds 
about  eleven  a.m.  If  anyonc'was  taken 
sick  after  that  time  there  was  nothing 
that  could  be  done  for  Jiim  until  the 
day  unless  it  was  urgent.  If  n 
student  was  ill  there  was  no 
place    to   isolate    him   from    his   fellow 


disease.  The  women  Mudenis  have  an 
infirmary  in  Reid  Hall  where  they 
may    be    isolated    in    such    a    case. 

This  venture  is  sponsored  m  part 
by  The  Women's  League  of  Chester- 
town  who  will  help  with  some  of  the 
incidentals  of  the  infirmary  and  dis- 
pensary. The  college  will  absorb  the 
cost  of  operation  for  the  first  yeai 
after  which  the  cost  of  operation  will 
be   included  on  the  student's  bill.

McKie.  conducted  a  panel  of  eight  members  who  discussed  the  possi- 
bility pro  and  ron.  It  might  be  noted  here,  that  a  meeting  of  C.I. 
Hall  was  called  at  7:00  and  drew  a  number  of  men  away  from  the 
open    discussion. 

«      Beau  Hearn  led  for  the  affirmative, 

showing  instances  of  past  experience 
with  the  plan.  He  emphasized  that 
such  an  organization  on  the  W.C. 
campus  would  serve  as  a  unifying 
factor  between  students  and  teachers 
and  between  students  and  students. 
He  also  stated  that  it  would  do  away 
with  the  heavy  burden  that  O.D.K. 
is   carrying   at   present, 

John  Grim  followed  with  remarks 
concerning  the  present  duties  of  (). 
D.K.  and  how  they  could  be  taken 
over  by  a  Student  Government.  He 
pointed  out  that  the  honorary  fratern- 
ity was  not  representative  of  the  stud- 
ent body  and  did  not  have  enough 
members  to  handle  the  work.  "Student 
Gorevrnment,"  he  said,  "would  be 
more  effective   and   efficient." 

Leading  for  those  (hat  opposed  the 
plan,  Bill  Russell  stated  that  although 
the  students  might  think  that  they 
have  more  power  with  such  an  organ- 
ization, the  faculty  had  the  power  to 
veto  any  measure  adopted.  A  member 
of  the  audience  joined  with  him  by 
relating  similar  experiences  in  high 
school.  Russell  also  pointed  out  that 
the  numerous  organizations  on  cam- 
pus would  lose  what  power  they  did 
have  because  the  Student  Government 
would  be  running  everything,

A  Sl'CCESS  STORY 

A  week  and  a  half  ago,  a  crisis  rrachrd  The  cars  of  VVasliington 
Collrsp  students  in  the  form  of  blood  donations  at  the  Kent  County 
Ho.pital.  The  blood  type  was  not  common,  and  the  first  annotmce- 
menl  of  th.'  need  did  nol  reveal  what  il  svas  to  he  used  for.  Several 
students  oll'cred  their  sersires  at  onee.  One  of  these  had  the  light 
t\ne. 

Al  6:00  p.m.  the  slot^-  of  the  need  for  blood  had  spread  through 
tho«  who  liad  already  volunteered.  A  young  woman  defense  work- 
er, whom  no  one  on  campus  knew,  in  dire  need  of  blood  for  internal 
hemorrhages  from  n  perforated  ulcer.  The  quota  to  sec  her  through 
the  night  and  the  nest  day  had  not  been  filled,  despite  the  many 
volunteers-  Medical  technician.  Bill  Russell,  had  turned  down  doz- 
ens because  of  the  \yrong  type.  He  had  made  more  than  a  hundred 
blood  tests  on  students  and  townspeople,  and  out  of  those  had  found 
only  two  who  were  able  to  donate. 

A  small  group  of  girls  walked  over  to  the  hospital  follosving  sup- 
per that  night.  Again,  out  of  these  only  one  was  found  that  had 
the  right  type.  The  quota  was  still  not  filled.  Those  that  were  turn- 
ed down  on  this  trip  made  a  hurried  exit  and  headed  towards  the 
campus  to  irv  a  last  rainule  search  for  the  right  type  blood.  Tn  less 
than  ten  minutes,  the  hospital  was  filled  with  students,  some  who 
Inew  they  had  the  right  type,  others  who  didn't,  but  were  anxious 
to  help.    By  8:00  pm.  that  night,  the  quota  was  filled. 

Tn  appreciation  to  all  those  svho  joined  in  to  help  the  young 
woman,  the  ELM  recommends  a  vote  of  thanks  and  an  extra  hand 
to  those  who  were  able  to  give:  Jo  Budd.  Esther  Gould  and  Bernie 
O'Donald. 


MANNERS  CAN  BE  FUN 

^Vhen  we  were  all  a  lot  younger.  Monroe  Leaf  was  one  of  the 
■hest  seller"  authors  with  his  book  of  cartoons— "Manners  Can  Be 
Fun".  We'd  like  to  suggest  a  re-reading  of  that  childhood  text — 
especially  when  it  comes  to  the  dining  hall. 

Everyone,  we  think,  will  agree  that  meals  this  year  are  a  pleas- 
ure. Our  hats  are  olT  to  Mrs.  McKay  who  has  showed  real  interest 
in  planning  the  memjs.  who  seems  to  have  reformed  the  svaiters.  even 
to  the  point  of  wearing  ties,  and  who  has  made  eating  on  "the  hill" 
something  to  look  forward  to.  But  despite  all  the  good  things  about 
the  dining  hall  that  hiive  come  about  this  year,  the  one  great  lack  is  a 
few  manners  on  the  part  of  the  students. 

We  refer  mainly  to  that  stampede  that  occurs  at  12:15  and 
'ill  in  the  mad  rush  for  tables.  Everyone  is  going  to  get  fed.  and 
seats  are  available  for  the  groups  assigned  to  eat  at  those  times, 
but  still  the  rush  continues. 

W'e  mention  the  assigned  seats.  There  should  be  some  under- 
standing as  to  who  is  to  eat  what  shift.  We  believe  that  this  svould 
eliminate  the  "bad  manners"  of  the  students.  If  each  group  ate 
according  to  schedule  there  would  be  no  difficulty  in  finding  a  seat. 

We  ask  for  clarification  from  the  dietician.  \Ve  believe  that  the 
nudeni-  should  try  to  live  up  to  the  standards  she  has  set  this  year.

Meet 
TKe  Frosh 


MISS  HARTMAN— 

Favorite  Theme  •  Reader 


Within  the  group  of  new  faculty 
members  al  W.C.  this  year  is  the  secret 
in  Ihe  least  painful  way  lo  learn  Eng- 
lish yci  devised  for  illiterate  fresh- 
men. The  secret  is  Miss  Joan  Hart- 
man,  the  youngest  and  most  attraciive 
female  teacher  to  hit  the  campus  in 
a  long  time.  Miss  Hartinan  comes  lo 
frcsli  from  Mount  Holyoke  in 
Massachusetts,  where  slie  received  her 

A.  ill  19,il,  and  Duke  University, 
where  in  one  busy  year  she  earned  her 
Master's.  ;\s  a  matter  of  (act.  her 
M..\.  was  awarded  jnsi  a  few  short 
■ceks  ago — here  is  a  woman  of  action. 

Miss  Hartman  is  from  Brooklyn. 
■Sew  York,  (Flalbush,  but  she's  seiisi' 
aboui  it),  and  this  is  her  fu-st 
ilh  the  Eastern  Shore. 
She  claims  to  love  it  all.  Back  home 
she    has   a    H-year-old    brother     whose 


aversion  lo  books  she  worries  abmn 
constantly — hope  she  doesn't  worry 
herself  to  death  over  .the  19-year-olil 
boys  in  her  class.  .  ' 

Already,  Mi,ss  Hariman  has  become 
active  in  campus  and  lown  activities. 
Deeply  inierested  in  music — a  former 
member  of  Mount  Holyoke's  choir  am! 
glee  club — she  has  consented  to  pkiy 
sonie  French  organ  music  for  tIic 
French  Cliib  banquet  Thursday  eve- 
ning. And.  icniatively,  .she  has  been 
awarded  a  major  role  in  the  Chesicr 
Players'  fall  production  of  Dear  Ruth. 
Other  members  of  the  Players  wt|. 
comed   her  immediately. 

It  appears  ihai  Washinglon  C<)|. 
lege  will  be  seeing  a  lot  of  this  new 
bruncite  ihcme-readcr.  Here's  hoping 
she'll  coniinue  lo  like  un.

.\mong  ihc  most  discussed  figures 
of  the  freshman  class,  you  are  sure 
to  find  Giuseppe  Leporace.  a  recent 
impon  from  Italy. 
Giuseppe,  known  to  all  as  "Joe". 
as  boni  September  1,  1932.  in  Sor- 
rento, Italy.  Here  he  lived  for  abiftt 
17  years.  During  this  time  he  atlend- 
;d  school  in  Naples.  One  day,  dur- 
ng  the  war,  Joe  was  having  gym 
class  out-o[-doi>rs.  While  he  was  play- 
ing ball  with  other  members  of  his 
class,  enemy  bombers  Hew  over  com- 
pleiely  demolishing  the  school  and 
killing  all  the  students  except  the 
few  that  were  panicipaiing  in  the 
game.  He  can  rc-aily  say  he  owe- 
his  life  to  sports. 

In  19-I!!,  the  Leporace's  moved  to 
Pennsgrove.  New  Jersey,  where  Joc\ 
father    owns   a    night   club. 

His  favorite  pastime  is  dancing,  as 
many  of  the  students  of  \V.C.  haie 
previously  noted.  He  turned  his  hob- 
by into  a  profession  not  long  ago 
when  he  danced  un  Paul  Whiteinan's 
TA'.  show  for  eight  consecutive 
When  not  dancing,  Joe 
likes  to  play  Italy's  hational  sport, 
soccer. 

,  former  student  of  W.C.  first  at- 
linted  Joe  with  the  school's  ad- 
itagcs.  Says  Joe,  "The  place  is 
11,  hut  m)  Oldsmobile  would  real- 
make  it  perfect  for  me." 
in  interpreter  for  the  Ameriam 
Consul  is  his  ambition.  This  will  in- 
volve law  as  his  major  in  college. 
Giuseppe's  pet  peeves  are  girU  who 
arc  never  ready  on  lime  and  those 
who  are  very  quiet. 

Everything  in  America  seems  lo 
suit  him  just  fmc.  especially  the  free- 
dom   youth    is   allowed    in    America.

a  everybody.  Wc  mean  to  aiake 
ilumn  your  main  source  of  in- 
ion — gocKJ,    bad.   or   indifferent. 
If  acinal    happenings  are   lacking   we 
ive    lo   resort    to   our    imagina- 
tions.    But   we   promise   to   give   you 
something  interesting  to  read     about. 
Call  it  gossip,  dirt,  news,  propaganda, 
anything  you   like.   Don';   do  any-

to  know  about,  because  if  you  do,  and 
find  out  about  it  (which  we  will) 
you'll    be    reading   about    yourself    in

Congrats  to  our  editor,  Jane  Brad-

of  everything  to  you  both.  Congrai

Drydcn   and   Ralph  Schillenberg. 

It's  going  to  seem  funny  to  see 
certain  cut  and  dried  twosomes  of 
last  year  rearranged  or  converted  to

with  such  things.  We'll  keep  \ou  post-

THE  WASHINGTON  ELM 


I'AGE  THREE 


Varsity  Club  Initiates  lO^euTMen 


In  The  PRESSBOX 

With  (Sports  Editor)  Ellsworth  Boyd 

Coach  Howie  Nesbitt  has  been  running  his  pitch  hopefuls 
through  pretty  stiff  drills  during  the  past  week  in  preparation  for  the 
squad's  October  10  opener  against  Towson  State  Teachers. 

The  team  has  every  reason  to  drill  fast  and  steady,  for  this 
5cason's  Mason-Dixon  soccer  league  may  find  the  Shoremen  a  tough 
obstacle  to  hurdle.  The  hooters  also  meet  Loyola,  Western  Md., 
Baltimore  U.,  and  Hopkins  in  M-D  competition. 

Heading  this  conference  quintet  is  kingpin  Baltimore  Univtrsi- 
ly.  The  Bees  have  worn  the  Mason-Dixon  soccer  crown  for  the  past 
three  years  and  Coach  Cal  Ermer  is  measuring  his  team  for  that 
lame  honor  again  in  1952. 
Lacking  depth,  as  is  the  usual  problem  at  the  outset  of  the  sea- 
n  for  B.U.,  the  Baltimoreans  boast  returning  lettermen  such  as: 
Sian  Rostek,  second  high  scorer  in  '51;  Gabe  Maggitti,  and  Don 
Bfpdsky  who  were  all-conference  choices  last  year;  halfback  Henry 
IVolilfort;  Al  SiedHcki,  goaUc;  halfbacks  Grant  Sheeslcy  and  Eari 
Rankin:  fullbacks  Herb  Weidcl  and  Hall  Decker;  Norman  Hart,  in- 
;ide  man;  and  John  Hopkins,  wing. 

Add  to  these  1 1  veterans  that  All-American  lineman  who  was 
I  member  of  Uncle  Sam's  Olympic    team,  Larry  Surock,  plus  a 
of  promising  freshmen,  and  what  do  you  have? 
A  recipe  for  dynamite?!  Not  quite.    We  find  Coach  Ermer's 
)itchnicn  tough  and  experienced.  However,  the  Sho'  dribblers  ^will 
six  games  under  their  belts  when  they  tangle  with  the  Bees  on 
fcvrmber  1.     And  if  the  Shoremen  meet  B.U.  with  the  spirit  that 
hey  have  been  displaying  during  practice  sessions  these  past  three 
.reck-;,  those  "conference  kingpins"  may  lose  that  crown. 
Off  The  Wire 
Mickey  DiMaggio,  freshman  cross-country  a.spirant.  has  been 
uniid  by  coach  Athey  as  one  of  the  most  promising  runners  to  evei 
mtrr  W.C-  in  the  past  three  years. 

Rumor  has  it  that  Dan  ("Don't  forget  to  put  that  Coke  bottle 
lack  when  you  finish")  Samele,  captain  of  the  '52  basketball  team, 
has  been  sneaking  into  the  gym  for  secret  practice  sessions  in  order 
\o  lose  a  little  weight  before  public  drill  sessions  commence 

That  star-studded  Baltimore  Olympic  Club  cross-country  team 
W  added  another  ex-college  champion  to  its  roster  in  the  person 
bf  McHe  Grouse,  of  Bridgewatcr  College,  who  won  individual  hon^ 
prs  in  the  M-D  in   1950  and  was  ruhner-up  in  '51.

Nesbitt 
DriUs  For 
Opener 


After  two  weeks  of  vigorous  con- 
ditioning exercises  and  hard  scrim- 
mages, the  Washington  College  Soc- 
cer team  appears  ready  for  its  opcn- 
ng  game. 

Soccer  experts,  columnists,  and 
coaches  alike,  agree  that  "spirit,  hust- 
le, condition  and  teamwork  make  a 
wmning  team.'  ,As  the  soccer  scene 
now  appears,  the  Maroon  and  Black 
are  boasting  an  unusually  high  spir- 
iled  squad  which  is  gradually  round- 
ing into  good  condition. 

This  year  has  brought  back  a 
strong  defensive  unit,  coupled  with 
the  acquisition  of  a  fine  array  o( 
freshman  talent,  who  are  giving  many 
of  the  returning  lettermen  a  run  for 
their  positions.  Teamwork  is  present- 
ly in  a  stage  of  devclopfiieni,  with 
Coach  Howie  "The  Whip'  Nesbitt, 
keeping  a  strict  eye  over  his  charges. 
Fundamental  drills  and  scrimmages 
are  proving  more  and  more  advantage- 
ous  to  the  team. 

One  cannot  overlook  the  stalwart 
backlicid  returnees  which  include 
Captain  John  Grim.  Bill  Russell,  Doug 
Tilley  and  goalie  Don  McHugh.  Prora- 
"  :ng  freshmen  who  are  gradually 
gaining  experience  are  Joe  Howard, 
Roger  Smoot.  Joe  S^manski,  Bernard 
Mitchell.  Jack  Jennings,  and  Jim  Ed- 


v-ards. 

The  opening  encounter,  which  is 
slated  against  Towson  State  Teachers 
October  lU  at  Kibler  Field,  will 
find  the  Sho'mcn  hoping  to  make  a 
repeat  performance  of  last  year's  1-0 
"ictory. 

Although  it  is  too  early  to  make 
predictions  as  to  the  future  standings, 
Captain  Grim  has  issued  the  state- 
I  that  "thi?  is  undoubiably  the 
best  soccer  team  that  he  has  ever 
playe<l  for  during  his  slay  at  Wash- 
ngton."  Incidentally,  this  is  Crim's 
fourth  and  final  season,  and  everyone 
hopes  it  will  be  his  best.

I  have  noticed  that  both  stu-

abouls  are  fearful  of  olTcnding 
some  academic  lady  or  gent, 
who  happens  to  liave  a  dc>ctor- 
aie,  by  a  failure  to  address  him 
as  "doctor  so-and-so."  Somewhat 
les*  horrcTidous  is  addressing  a 
professor  as  "Miss"  or  "Mister," 
but  that  too  is  apparently  con- 
sidered bad  lastc.  Please  assure 
your  readers  that  the  terms 
"Miss"  and  "SfisieT"  arc  al- 
ways appropriate,  regardless  of 
what  other  fancy  title  the  per-

many  of  Us  really  feel  uneom.

Great  Debate . . . 

(Continued  from  Page  One) 

Following  for  the  negative  came 
Joel  Gunndolo  who  related  to 
audience  the  past  experience  of  Stud- 
ent Government  on  the  campus.  Hi 
stated  that  there  was  never  any  solid 
backing  for  such  a  proposal  and  th: 
such  a  backing  would  be  difficult  to 
find.  He  also  emphasized  the  same 
fact  that  Russell  stated — that  from 
the  legal  angle,  the  faculty  had  the 
last  word.  He  suggested  that  the 
students  support  the  clubs  they  were 
:n  now  rather  than  jump  into  some- 
thing new. 

A  counter-attacli  was  offered  by  the 
affirmative  side  by  Pal  Nci?hbor, 
member  of  the  S.G.  committee  who 
brought  out  the  fact  the  fund  raisinu 
campaign  now  tfcing  started  at  W.C. 
could  greatly  benefit  by  surh  a  mov- 
mrnt.  She  showed  here  that  student? 
■unified  would  be  of  greater  value  to 
such  a  campaign  than  individual  clubs. 

Following  offerings  from  John  Par- 
ker for  the  affirmative  and  A.  J.  Carr 
for  the  negative,  the  floor  \sas  opened 
to  discussion.  Here  the  question  of 
"petty  politics"  was  brought  up.  The 
affirmative  answ<T!.d  that  Student 
Govcrnni'-nt  might  do  away  with  the 
fratrrni'y  and  sorority  politics  now 
on  campus. 

One  freshman,  J.  Aldo  Gallo  and  .t 
transfer  student  spoite  out  in  favor  of 
the  idea.  Gallo  stafd  that  the  oiil\ 
spirit  he  had  seen  so  f.-sr  on  campus 
was  in  the  freshman  class  .  .  .  that 
student  government  could  help  create 
unified   spirit. 

Throughout  the  discussion,  chair- 
-■iian  McKic  had  to  continue  remind- 
ing the  panel  and  the  audience  of  the 
question  at  hand.  Following  almost 
.1  half  hour  of  debate  the  assembly 
was  adjourned  with  an  invit.T.ion  tu 
all  those  against  Student  Gctvernment 
to  come  to  a  S.G.  committee  mcetinj- 
and    slate    their   complaints. 

Throughout  the  next  several  monlh>; 
the  question  will  be  brought  up  and 
the  fludents  will  be  a^hed  to  join  in 
discussions.  No  definite  dates  have 
been  set  thus  far  for  any  more  dis- 
cussions of  the  problem.

Wanted: 
Violin  Players 

During  the  period  of  192G  to  19."i0 
the  Washington  College  concert  orches- 
tral had  a  continuous  history  of  suc- 
cessful performance.  Due  to  the  lack 
of  stringed  instruments  after  19,i0  it 
has  not  been  possible  to  organize  such 
a  group.  The  membership  in 
orchestra  has  ranged  fiom  fifteen 
thirty  members.  The  group  played 
for  the  weekly  assemblies,  broadcast 
from  Baltimore  and  Wilmington  radio 
stations,  cooperated  in  concerts  with 
the  glee  club  and  gave  orchestra  con 
certs  in  a  number  of  Eastern  Shore 
communities.  At  various  times  the 
orchestra  has  included  a  saxaphonc 
octette,  brass  quartettes,  string  quav 
letics,  string  ensembles  and  ouistand 
ing  solo  performers. 

In  order  to  have  a  successful  con- 
cert orchestra  it  is  necessary  to  have 
an  ample  number  of  players  of  string- 
ed instruments,  particularly  violins. 
Without  stringed  instrument  player* 
it  is  practically  impossible  lo  main- 
tain a  concert  orchestra  group. 

In  3  college  the  size  of  Wasliinglon 
College  there  should  be  ample  musi- 
cal talent  to  maintain  both  a  concert 
orchestra   and    a   band. 

Violin  players  and  other  players  o( 
stringed  instruments  are  urged  to  con- 
tact Dean  Livingood  if  they  are  in- 
terested in  the  reactivation  of  the  con- 
leri  orchestra.  If  there  is  sufficient 
interest,  and  if  players  of  stringed 
instruments  are  available,  the  orches- 
tra  will   be  reorgimi7ed.

Dryden  and  Jim  Metcalf,  long  stand- 
ing member  of  the  Players,  to  be 
co-directors. 

Casting  for  the  play  will  be  held 
on  Monday  at  3:30  in  Ferguson  Hall, 
so  come  one,  come  all.  The  final  cast 
will  be  selected  by  the  directors  and 
oflicers  of  the  Players. 

This  will  be  the  first  production 
of  the  1952-53  season  for  the  theatrical 
group.  Plans  for  llie  future  include 
an  experimental  production  in  late 
winter  and  the  annual  spring  comedy 
to  be  produced  in  May.  There  has 
been  no  definite  selection  for  either 
of   these   productions   as  yet. 

The  cast  for  "Ten  Little  Indians" 
includes  eight  men  and  three  women. 
The  roles  are  for  the  most  part 
•"Characters."  .\nyonc  interested, 
whether  or  not  ihey  are  a  memlicr 
of  the  Players,  is  urged  to  try  out 
for  one  of  the  parts. 

The  play,  a  mystery  comedy  by 
Agatha  Chrisic.  takes  place  in  a  weird 


country  house  on  an  island  off  the 
coast  of  Devon.  The  'Ten  Little  In- 
dians" refer  to  a  cluster  of  statuettes 
on  the  mantelpiece  and  to  the  nursery 
rhymes  embossed  above  telling  how 
each  little  Indian  met  his  death — un- 
til there  were  none.  To  this  queer 
place  eight  assorted  guests  are  invit- 
ed for  a  week-end  by  a  mysterious  host. 
The  guests  have  never  met  one  anoth- 
er before,  nor  have  they  met  their 
host.  While  they  are  all  assembled 
for  cocktails  a  mysterious  voice  comes 
out  of  the  air  accusing  everyone  pres- 
ent, including  the  two  house  servants, 
each  in  his  turn,  of  murder— not  the 
sort  of  murder  on  which  a  conviction 
can  be  got  in  the  courts,  but  a  mur- 
der just  the  same.  And  while  they  are 
exchanging  data  on  themselves  and 
on  their  host,  one  of  the  ten  little 
Indian  statuettes  topples  off  the  man- 
ilcpiecc  and  breaks — and  immediately 
thereafter  one  of  the  guests  chokes 
to  death  of  poison  vt'hich  someone  has 
dropped  In  his  drink.  One  down  and 
nine  to  go — or  are  there?  The  excite- 
ment never  lets  up  until  the  final  cur-

SENIOR  of 
the  WEEK 


WE  CAN  AND  SHOULD 
Thr  fall  setting  of  brilliant  days,  turning  leaves,  and  a  crispness 
in  the  air.  seems  to  lend  itself  to  Washington  College  for  every  im- 
portant occasion.  One  year  ago.  hundreds  of  guests  witnessed  the 
inauguration  of  our  20th  president,  Dr.  Daniel  Z.  Gibson.  Fifteen 
years  before  that,  another  President,  Dr.  Gilbert  W.  Mead,  was  in- 
stalled as  the  19th  man  to  lead  Washington  College.  On  both  oc- 
casions, the  public  was  reminded  of  the  necessity  of  good  schools 
for  the  purpose  of  educating  the  future  of  America. 

Today,  in  essentially  the  same  setting.  Washington  College  of- 
ficially enters  its  170th  year  as  an  institution  of  higher  learning.  And 
today,  more  than  ever,  those  who  are  here  to  witness  the  ceremony 
of  convocation,  will  be  reminded  of  the  need  for  schools,  for  Wash- 
ington College  takes  a  step  forward  in  the  world  of  education.  The 
desire  to  progress  is  no  longer  in  the  dream  stage,  it  is  in  the  first 
form  of  actuality. 

Tonight  at  the  alumni  banquet.  Dr.  Gibson  will  address  the 
group  on  the  needs  of  Washington  College,  why  it  should  grow  and 
how  it  can  grow.  Long  range  planning  for  the  school  has  been 
underway  for  some  lime.  The  time  has  come  to  do  something  about 
it.  The  possibilities  offered  tonight  will  rest  on  the  shoulders  of  the 
alumni,  the  friends  and  the  students  of  W.C. 

One  thing  stands  out  in  the  long  range  plan  to  be  offered. 
Washington  College  is  small,  and  wants  to  stay  that  way,  but  with 
better  facilities.  By  small,  we  say  500  students,  facilities  at  present 
cannot  take  care  of  that  number.  Daniel  Webster  once  said,  in 
speaking  of  small  colleges— "It  is  sir.  a  small  college,  yet  there  are 
those  who  love  it."  And  we  think,  that  may  be  part  of  the  reason 
why  W.C.  has  so  many  friends.  We  hope  that  everyone  that  is  here 
today,  watching  the  college  go  into  its  170th  year  of  making  history 
will  uant  to  help  make  it  the  small  college  it  should  be.  In  stature 
we  wnnld  like  to  live  up  to  our  namesake,  General  George  Wash- 
ington, first  President  of  the  United  States.  We,  the  students,  and 
you.  the  alumni  and  friends,  can  and  should.

QUESTION 
of  the  week 


1  hese    words    might    be   spoken    by 
HI    iininfoinied    student    at    Washing- 
on    College    about    the    new    head    oi 
lie  biology  department.  Yes,  Dr.  Frank 
trk  does  raise  flie.s,  and   fruit   flics  at 
t,  but  to  be  able  to  do  this  type 
of    work,   one   must,  be,   on    the   con- 
trarv,   a    very   competent    person.     Dr. 
Erk    is   just    this  son   of  man.     These 
les    arc    one    of    his    main    interests, 
id    with    them    he    is    working   on    a 
tally    important    project     concerning 
ic   study   of   inheritance. 
When  Dr.   VaV.   is  not  busy  working 
1  his  own  research,  he  may  be  found 
I  a  classroom  of  Dunning  Hall.  About 
C  feet  and  I  inch  tall  and  well  built,  he 
often   lectures   with   his  hands  in   the 
pockets   of   his   while,   knee-length   la- 
boratory   coat.    An   occ:asional  joke  or 
perhaps  a   human   interest  story  add- 
o    his    lectures   keep    his   student 
interested- 

thc  laboratory,  he  can  always 
manage  to  straighten  out  the  bewil- 
dered student  about  an  unexplainabic 
blob"  under  the  microscope.  Having 
genuine  interest  in  his  pupils,  he 
may  often  go  to  great  lengths  to  e\' 
plain  a  detail. 

Far  from  being  one-sided.  Dr.  Erk 
has  many  interests,  one  of  them  being 
ic.  He  has  taken  over  the  difficult 
job  of  directing  the  College  Choir  this 
ear.  and  also  sings  in  the  choir  ot 
"hrist  Methodist  Church.  During  his 
college  years,  he  played   the  viola   in

Congratulations  to  the  Alpha  Chi's

THE  WASHINGTON  ELM 


PAGE  THREE 


Room  For  Ninety  -  nine  Coeds 
In  Proposed  Girls'  Dormitory 

It's  The  Girls'  Turn 
At  Washington  College 


There's  nothing  quite  as  popular  for  the  ladies  as  dreaming 
about  a  new  home.  How  many  brides — and  brides-to-be  have  men- 
tiiily  planned  every  inch  of  their  dream  house?  Quite  a  few  we'll 
rcnture  to  say,  but  at  \YashIngton  College  even  the  brides-to-be  arc 
lliinking  about  the  architect's  drawing  of  the  new  girls'  domitory. 
Of  course,  it's  still  a  drawing,  but  the  thumb  tacks  have  been  taken 
out  of  the  board  and  a  mighty  step  forward  to  its  actuality  has 
been  made'. 


Ion: 


The  hall,  which  to  date  has  not  been  named,  is  part  of  the 
;  range  plan  for  Washington  College,  that  is  being  announced 


tonight.  However,  for  the  benefit  of  the  ladies  we'll  try  a  sneak 
preview  of  what's  to  come  in  the  way  of  living  quarters  for  Betty 
Co-ed. 

The  dorm  will  provide  space  for  ninety-nine  women  in  both  single 
id  double  rooms.  The  building  itself  will  be  three  stories  and  in 
ihc  colonial  style  that  marks  the  present  campus.  Construction  will 
be  of  cinder  block  with  red  brick  facing  and  white  wood  trim.  The 
floors  will  have  an  asphalt  tile  surface  and  the  ceilings  will  be  treat- 
ed with  acoustic  board. 

Facing  Washington  Avenue,  the  building  will  be  located  150 
feet  south  of  Reid  Hall.  The  front  will  extend  84  feet  along  the 
siri'Ct  on  a  line  with  the  present  girls'  dormitory.  Living  quarters

A  Long  Climb  To  Success 

The  followitig  history  of  womrii  at  Wa^hhioton  Collri;,,-  ii-ns 
taken  from  "The  EASTERN  SHORE  of  MARYLAND  avrl 
VIRGINIA— edited   by   Dr.    Charles   B.    Clark. 

On  September  16,  1891,  the  following  communication  was 
received  by  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Visitors  and  Governors 
of  Washington  College: 

"I  would  respectfully  suggest  that  young  women  be  admit- 
ted to  the  college  as  day  students  on  the  same  terms  as  young  men. 
My  reasons  for  this  suggestions  are: 

1.  There  arc  a  number  of  young  women  ready  to  enter  at 
once.     This  number  can  probably  be  increased  by  ten  or  twelve. 

2.  The  faculty  are  unanimously  in  favor  of  it. 

3.  It  will  materially  increase  the  resources  of  the  college  with- 
out increasing  its  expenditures. 

4.  There  will  be  no  risk  in  it.  as  it  can  be  discontinued  in  a 
year,  if  not  a  success.  Those  who  are  doubtful  can  judge  for  them- 
selves by  seeing  the  experiment  tried. 

5.  It  will  be  a  great  financial  advantage  for  those  who  have 
daughters  to  educate. 

6.  It  will  increase  the  friends  of  the-college. 

7.  It  will  be  the  greatest  help  in  improving  the  moral  tone  of 
the  college." 

It  was  signed  by  Dr.  Charles  W.  Reid.  president  of  Washing- 
ton College  from  1889  to  1903. 

This  was  the  firn  public  mention  of  the  possibility  of  co-eds  for 
Washington  College.  At  the  time,  there  were  no  facilities  .at  all 
tor  such  a  venture,  but  favorable  action  by  the  Board  on  their  admit- 
-ancc  soon  led  to  further  requests.  In  1895  President  Reid  made  a 
itronge  plea  to  the  board  for  a  ladies'  dormitory.  In  support  of  this 
Sc  stated  that  during  his  canvass  of  the  Eastern  Shore  for  students, 
he  had  interviewed  five  young  ladies  who  would  matriculate  at  the 
ollege",  provided  they  could  be  accommodated;  furthermore,  he 
V  IS  convinced  that  as  many  as  25  boarding  students  would  take 
advantage  of  the  opportunity  of  a  college  education,  if  proper  hous- 
ng  conditions  were  made  available.  Again  the  Board  nodded  ap- 
n  oval  and  a  bill  was  presented  to  the  Legislature.  requcUing  the 
iitation  of  a  Normal  Department  at  Washington  College.  In  Feb- 
ruary. 1896.  a  second  bill  was  approved,  petitioning  the  Legislature 
for  an  appropriation  which  would  help  meet  the  cost  of  the  en-ction 
of  a  building  to  house  the  students  of  the  normal^  department.  Both 
bills  were  passed  and  in  April,  1897,  the  dormitory  was  completed 
and  ready  for  occupancy. 

Students  pusuing  a  prescribed  course  for  two  years,  considered 
equal  in  point  of  difficulty  to  that  of  the  freshman  and  sophomore 
years  of  college,  received  upon  the  completion  of  the  course,  a  cer- 
tificate which  permitted  the  holder  to  teach,  without  examination 
in  the  elementary  schools  of  Maryland.  The  popularity  of  the  Nor- 
mal Course  showed  by  the  fact  that  the  enrollment  of  girls  increased 
from  33  in  1896-97  to  74  in  1905-06,  and  that  of  this  number,  only 
,1  small  percentage  pursued  the  regular  college  course.  Up  to.  and 
including  the  class  of  1911.  only  14  women  had  received  the  Bach- 
elor's disploma.  while  132  had  received  the  normal  certificate. 

The  administration,  realizing  that  the  college  proper  was  being 
overshadowed  by  the  Normal  Department,  discontinued  it,  closed 
Normal  Hall  as  a  girls'  dormitory  and  accepted  girls  only  as  day 
students.

A  noted  traveller  from  abroad,  vis- 
iting in  Chcsiern»wn  jiisl  prior  to 
1800,  recorded  his  obsenalions  ol  the 
tuilding  as  follows:  -The  college, 
which  h  a  large  bnilding.  on  the  sum- 
mil  of  a  hill,  commands  a  view  of  this 
little  town  This  building  h  iu  a

plcie  it,  and  like  almosi  all  the  public 
buildings  in  .America  it  will  be  in 
ruins  before  ii   Ls  finished." 

In  1817  [he  college  was  ihieaicned

ISI7,  adopted  a  reioloiion  of  thanks  to 
"I  hiimas  Taylor  and  James  Lynch  "For

bris and  over-grown  weeds  were  clear- 
ed aw3\  and  a  new  college  building 
crowned  [he  hill.  Those  seventeen 
years  were  more  than  once  perilous  lo 
the  possible  furore  of  the  college. 
Classes  were  carried  on  in  rented 
quarters  in  ihe  village,  and  the  inn- 
mediaie  enthusiasm  shown  by  the 
board  for  rebuilding,  slowly  waned. 
Immediately  after  ilie  fire,  college 
classes  were  held  in  the  lar^e  brick 
building  on  the  waterfront,  known  as 
the  old  customs  house.  Later  ihej 
were  moved  to  a  building  located 
where  the  elcnicniary  school  now

Harriers  Bow  To  Towson;  Run  Hopkins  Today 


In  The  PRESSBOX 

With  (Sports  Editor)  Ellsworth  Boyd 


It's  not  from  the  Pressbox  that  I  express  my  sentiments  to- 
ll is  from  the  athletic  field  on  which  the  first  annual  Wash- 
ington College  intra-mural  cross-country  meet  was  held  last  Mon- 
day. 

Never  again  will  this  writer  sponsor,  publicize,  or  be  connected 
■ith  in  any  way,  an  intra-mural  cross-country  race.  Not  after  the 
disgustingly  poor  turn-out  that  I  witnessed  last  Wednesday  when 
ihc  1  Vi  mile  race  was  held! 

Yes.  in  the  summaries  there  are  twelve  finishers,  but  did  you 
fcnciw  that  four  of  these  men  were  volunteers  from  the  lacrosse 
squad  who  were  spirited  enough  to  enter  to  prevent  the  race  fi 
,being  a  flop?  Thanks  to  the  men  who  did  enter.  They  proved  that 
[he  school  spirit  around  here  is  not  .000  like  lots  of  indexes.  School 
jpirit  may  not  be  .000,  but  it's  mighty  close  to  it! 

Two  weeks  of  publicity— posters,  Elm  reports,  talk  in  the  din- 
ing hall,  medals  as  prizes,  brought  8  men  to  the  starting  line!  Yes, 
I  know  the  soccer  team  was  away,  but  it  offered  only  3  contestants. 
There  should  have  been  25,  not  on  the  soccer  team,  interested 
(nough  to  report. 

It's  lucky  that  the  touch  football  league,  which  Clito  Cannone 
has  done  such  a  fine  job  with,  is  only  a  six-man  league.  For  if  it 
was  eleven.  I'm  afraid  there  would  be  many  forfeits  due  to  the 
(ecble  support  in  intra-mural  sports. 

If  some  of  the  members  of  the  "Coke  Squad"  would  cut  down 
on  their  afternoon  bull  sessions  in  the  Snackbar,  and  a  few  of  the 
"Elbow  Benders"  at  the  Bluebird  would  let  up  on  their  Saturday 
afternoon  quarterback  talks,  the  sports  at  the  college  might  get 
1  break! 

Not  only  have  the  participants  let  the  Sho'  school  down,  but 
to  have  the  spectators. 

I've  written  many  such  editorials  in  the  past  issues  of  this  Elm, 
IS  have  my  predecessors.  In  conclusion,  I  have  this  to  say:  If  our 
basketball  team  this  year  is  donated  the  support  that  the  fall  sports 
lave  seen,  then  wc  better  import  some  alumni  to  root  the  team  on 
0  victory. 

Enough  said?    I  hope  so!    How _abo_ut .some. action ??? ?

Snakes 
Thump  K.A. 

By  Ray  Idler 

The   East    Hall   Snakes   defeated   K 

A,   by  a   score  of  2512   as   the   Intra. 

mural    Football    League  got   underway 

on  Monday,  October  6. 

The   game    was    played    in    front    of 
Somerset     Hall     where    a    special    six- 
field  was  laid  out. 
SI    Hall    scored    once   in    the    first 
half  on   a   pass   from   John  Wilson    to 
John  Leo.    Footsie  Desmond  made  ihc 
point    and    the    score    stood    7-0 
at  halfiinie.     K.  A.  came  back  in  the 
bird    quarter    to   score,    when    Stump 
Gardner  grabbed  a  pass  from  Al  Za- 
loski.  The  attempt  for  the  extra  point 
oi    good   and    East    Hall    led  7-6. 
1  he  Snake-.'  striking  power  then  broke 
loose    and    before    the    third    quarter 
ended  they  scored  three  times,   Wilson 
.^parked   the   attack   as   he   again   con- 
nected with  Leo  for  a  touchdown  and 
ran    for    another.    Ed    Cinaglia    passed 
McHale  loi    the  third  score. 


Coach  Flowie  Nesbilt  looked  with 
pride  upon  his  Sho"  charges  after  their 
8-0  scrimmage  victory  over  Bainhridgc 
Naval  .Academy  Preparatory  School. 

He  was  especially  pleased  with  the 
teamwork  that  the  Maroon  and  Black 
displayed,  but  declined  to  make  any 
slalemcnt  on  the  future  Washington 
College  soccer  schedule.  Nesbitt  slat- 
ed, "Wc  don't  talk,  wc  act." 

(The  squad's  attention  is  mainly 
focused  on  the  Baltimore  U  till  which 
will  find  the  Bees  favored  to  repeat 
as  ihrice  Mason-Dixon  Conference 
Champs.  But  the  Nesbitlmen  have 
ditfcrent  ideas.) 

Bainhridgc  and  the  Shoremen  open 
ed  the  scrimmage  in  furious  style,  both 
ising  rough  methods  of  block- 
ing, kicking,  and  dribbling.  Condition 
and  teamwork  were  the  visitors'  dom- 
inating  factor,  as  the  tide  ctianged  in 
favor  of  the  Nesbittmen. 

The  hustling  Sho'men  eleven  broke 
the  game  wide  open  when  Roger  Smoot 
tered  the  ball  to  Bob  Appleby  who 
played  inside  left,  and  .Appleby 
promptly  headed  the  ball  into  the 
Smoot  connected  for  three  more 
assists  during  the  tussle.  Two  were  ic 
Doug  Tilley  who  evaded  the  N,\P  de- 
fense to  score,  and  the  other  to  Tom 
Bounds  who  alertly  booted  the  ball  be. 
twcen  Tilley's  legj  during  a  pile-up  in 
front  of  the  goal. 

When  the  first  string  ended  their 
scoring  punch,  the  second  team  pick, 
cd  it  up.  Freshman  Joe  Laporace 
teamed  with  Jack  Jennings  to  put  the 
victors  out  in  front  7-0,  the  latter  play 
er  scoring  two  accurate  corner  shots 
from  his  outside  right  position. 

Rip  Stjwell  closed   the  scoring  ram 
page    with    a    swift    free   shot    in    the 
pper   left   hand  corner  of   the  Bain- 
bridge  goal. 
The  defense  was  not  to  be  outdone, 
starters   John    Grim,    Dick    Wcller, 
II    Russell.   Rod    Ware,    Phil    Regan, 
Al    Hannifee,  and  Joe  Geissler  all  e\ 
hihited  fancy  footwork  in  the     scrim- 
mage. 

Outstanding  performances  were  dis- 
played by  Bemic  Mitchell,  Bill  Wright. 
Jack  Howard,  John  Miirdock,  Hen 
Flynn.  Jessy  KloMcwicz.  Bill  Winter 
ling,  Rip  Sewell.  and  Ted  Beddow. 

Goalies  Butch  McHugh  and  Joe  Szy- 
manski  each  contributed  two  extra- 
ordinary saves  as  ihc  opponent's  line 
was  held  scoreless.

for    the    game.       There    were    only    a 
handful   of     students     watching     the 
game.    It  seems  a  shame  that  so  many 
of    the  students   should    neglect    lo   at-

ponsor  them,  give  so  much  of  their

Freshman 
Prospects 


This 


week,  in  the  second  of  a  series 
of  articles  dealing  with  freshmen 
athletic  prospects,  the  Elm  is  present- 
ing Ed  Silverie,  of  Bryn  Mawr,  Pa. 

Ed,  who  is  si.\  feet  tall  and  weighs 
180  pounds,  attended  Radnor  High 
School  in  Bryn  Mawr.  During  his  stay 
there  he  played  two  years  of  varsity 
football  and  basketball,  earning  let- 
ters   both   years. 

While  playing  for  Radnor  he  was 
named  to  the  all  county  football  team 
as  a  star  halfback. 

After  going  to  Radnor  High,  "Big  " 
Ed  went  to  Haverford  Prep  School  in 
Haverford,  Pa.  Here  he  played  varsity 
basketball,  and  received  the  honor  of 
being  named  to  another  all-star  team 
-the  inter-academic  basketball  team. 

Of  the  two  sports  he  has  played. 
Ed  likes  basketball  the  best,  and  when 
the  Sho'men  start  practice  Monday 
night,  under  the  watchful  eye  of 
coach  Edward  1.  .Vthey,  Ed  will  be  out 
there  gunning  for  one  of  the  starting 
slots.  His  favorite  position  is  for- 
ward, and  his  shot  is  a  right  handed 
push  anywhere  around  the  keyhole. 

Ed    likes    the    Philadelphia    Phillies 

in  big  league  baseball,  and  though  he 

yed  in  high  school,  he  will 

be  out  for  the  team  when  the  Kiblei- 

en  start  practice  in  the  spring. 

"Doc"  Wallace,  an  alumnus  of 
W.C.  and  director  ol  athletics  at 
Haverford  Prep,  told  Ed  about  Wash- 
ington. He  says  it  seemed  to  be  just 
was  looking  fur— a  small 
school  with  a  fine  academic  '>ianding, 
]and  a  good  sports  program.

the  talk  stage.  A  committee  which  was  selected  las;  year  by  the  vari-

WHY  STUDENT  GOVERNMENT? 

Any  student  who  has  taken  a  course  in  world  history  will  be 
familiar  with  the  phrase  "maintain  the  status  quo."  It  is  a  symbol 
of  those  nations  and  peoples  who  did  not  wish  to  advance  or  ex- 
pand. It  should  not  be  a  symbol  of  Washington  College,  yet  sonic- 
how  it  has  crept  into  discussions  concerning  Student  Government. 

The  ELM  favors  the  adoption  of  Student  Government  on  th( 
Washington  College  campus,  if  for  no  other  reason  than  to  throw 
out  the  time  worn  phrase.  When  time  and  money  has  been  spent 
to  improve  and  develop  the  college,  we  think  that  the  students  owe 
it  to  themselves  to  develop  along  self  government  lines. 

Too  many  people  are  content  to  "keep  things  as  they  are.' 
We  think  perhaps  the  basis  for  this  is  that'  it  will  be  a  little  more 
work  on  someone's  part  to  be  active  in  Student  Government.  What 
these  people  don't  seem  to  realize  is  that  they  are  getting  as  much 
education  by  self  government  and  students  solving  their  own  prob- 
lems as  they  ever  will  in  any  course  the  school  has  to  offer.  We're 
all  going  to  be  under  that  type  of  government  some  day,  where  the 
man  next  door  could  be  the  town  judge,  and  a  little  experience  in 
that  line  wouldn't  hurt. 

Still  too  abstract?  Well,  how  about  the  disciplinary  board,  the 
school  dances,  the  deserted  week-ends,  the  assemblies,  better  facili 
ties  and  school  spirit.  If  you  stop  to  think  about  it,  we  think  you'll 
find  that  the  best  answer  to  these  problems  comes  from  an  organized 
student  body,  not  from  a  dozen  or  so  clubs  all  aiming  in  a  different 
direction. 

At  any  rate,  we  suggest  a  stab  at  it.  We,  the  students,  have 
nothiitg  to  lose  and  plenty  to  gain.  No  one  can  be  sure  how  Student 
Government  will  work  on  the  campus  until  they  have  tried  it.  We 
can't  rightfully  criticize  what  the  effect  will  ''probably  be"  because 
we  don't  know.  The  ELM  urges  cvcr>'  student  to  take  stock  and 
listen  to  the  arguments  presented  by  the  Student  Government  com- 
mitti^e.  We  hope  you'll  see  it  their  way. 


WE  SALUTE . 


On  behalf  of  the  student  body  the  ELM  salutes  the  newest  or- 
ganization on  campus^"The  G.T.  Choraleers."  To  put  it  simply,  we 
say  "well  done," 

It  takes  a  little  something  extra  to  organize  a  group  like  that 
and  it  takes  a  lot  of  extra  to  put  on  a  show  like  they  did.  We  only 
wish  they  had  come  to  Washington  College  sooner. 

There's  not  much  one  can  say  that  shows  real  appreciation,  but 
we  think  that  this  new  ^roup  will  know  that  we  liked  them,  merelv 
by  'iaving  "let's  have  some  more." 


The  Stepping 
Stones 


By  E.  A,  Colilti 

We  all  know  wc  must  take  ccvcain 
iicps  in  order  to  achieve  a  goal.  One 
goal  that  is  being  worked  for  (and 
should  be  worked  for)  on  our  campus 
is  Siudciu  Government.  Let's  look  at 
some  of  (he  steps  needed  to  have  Stu- 
dent Govcrnmcni.  and  see  if  Wash- 
inglon College  meets  the  requirements. 

First,  we  need  organized  spirit.  I 
won't  .deny  the  fact  that  the  campus 
is  full  of  organized  spirit,  but  it  is 
organized  only  in  small  groups.  Al- 
though these  small  groups  liave  dime 
much  in  ihe  past  for  ihe  school,  ihey 
could  do  ever  so  much  more  if  they 
were  united  inio  one  Big  body— a 
Student'  Government  .Association.  (If 
anyone  wants  lo  know  what  spirit  can 
do  for  a  campus,  let  him  remember 
the  freshman  class,  before  it  "died." 
Was  there  much  spirit  when  the 
Forensic  Society  presented  the  Student 
Government  Forum?) 

Secondly,  we  need  cooperation.  We 
have  some  cooperation  now:  between 
groups  and  groups,  administration 
and  groups,  faculty  and  groups,  and 
all  of  these  with  the  individual  stu- 
deni;  but  is  this  kind  of  cooperation 
getting  anything  done  for  ihc  "ichool 
as  a  whole?  (Remember  Dr.  Gibwn'.* 
Song  Festival  last  Spring!  Did  he  ger 
much  cooperation?  We  need  one 
t^oup,  a  Student  Government  .Asso- 
ciation, with  which  everj'one  will  co- 
operate. 

Thirdly,  wc  need  leaders.  Wc  all 
know  the  campus  is  full  of  leaders. 
We  know  most  of  those  who  arc  now 
in  olhce,  but  wc  don't  know  abnui  the 
hidden  leaders,  like  those  people  ■ 
are  giving  their  time  to  drawing  up 
a  constitution  for  Student  Guv 
ment.  Aren't  we  wasting  some  of  the 
talents  of  both  these  peoples  by 
giving  them  something  lo  really  lead 
— A  Student  Gnvemmeni  .\ssociaHi 

We  have  just  looked  at  a  few  of  the 
cquirements  for  Student  Government 
Lei's  get  up  some  spirit  and  organize. 
Remember — there  is  the  Student  Gov- 
aeni  Committee  that  meets  even' 
Monday  and  Wednesday  in  Room  21,

SENIOR  of

To  Haze  Or  Not  To  Haze 


Mr.    James 
0/  the  ■Umbrella  and  Plaid  Scarf 

By  Janet  Parks 

This  violates  all  rules  of  iniroduclor)'  literature  and  speech,  1  know,  Ijm; 
he  gentleman  I  am  about  lo  present  needs  no  introduction.  He  Is  Mr.  Not- 
nan  James,  new  addition  to  the  English  and  art  departments  and  head  guard 
it  Somerset. 

He  comes  to  us  frcm  Baltimore,  a  product  of  McDonogh  and  Gilnian, 
Yale  claims  the  honor  of  having  granted  his  B.A.  in  1918,  and  he  is  a  loyal 
son  of  old  Eli.  He  spent  two  years  doing  graduate  work  at  Marj'land.  and 
in  1950  emerged  with  his  Master's.  Most  recently,  he  has  studied  at  Duke, 
He  expects  to  attach  a  PhD  to  his  name  as  soon  as  he  writes  his  thesis  and 
takes  care  of  a  few  other  minor  details  connected  with  that  degree. 

He  has  found  W.C.  a  "charming  place  lo  work  and  do  other  things."  He 
is  convcnienily  situated  near  Washinglon,  where  he  now  lives,  and  Baltimore, 
where  he  enjoys  supplemeniing  the  school  diet  with  spaghetti  from  Maria's, 
He  likcs  living  in  Somerset,  and  thinks  the  boys  are  great,  if  a  bit  uttruly  at 
times. 

In  the  way  of  activities  at  W.C.  Mr.  James  gets  around.  He  has  become 
a  vital  part  of  the  Mt.  Vernon  Literary  Society  and  the  Art  Club,  although 
he  suspects  that  he  is  vital  in  the  latter  only  because,  as  the  only  male  mem 
ber.  he  is  conveniently  tall  enough  to  hang  all  the  posters. 

Mr.  James  also  collects  opera  records,  especially  old  Caruso  numbers  and 
the  like.  He  has  already  planned  to  play  one  set  for  a  meeting  of  the  Mt, 
Vernon  Society,  and  would  welcome  the  opportunity  for  group  listening  ses. 

So  we've  already  seen  a  lot  of  the  umbrella  and  plaid  scarf  that  means 
Mr.  James,  and  we  like  what  wc  see.    Hope  he's  with  us  for  many  years  (o

October  10  marked  the  official  end  of  hazing.  However,  as  has  been  the 
custom  in  the  past,  a  revolt  occurred  which  ended  hazing  in  reality  on  Octo- 
ber 8. 

The  question  has  arisen  in  the  minds  of  some  whether  to  continue  haz- 
ing in  ihe  future.  There  are  those  who  say  hazing  is  childish  and  of  little 
value  on  a  college  campus.  Your  writer  is  inclined  lo  believe  the  opponcn(< 
of  hazing  have  forgotten,  or  perhaps,  have  nevcT  experienced  ihe  adventure 
of  being  hazed. 

Hairing,  besides  being  fun.  has  a  definite  value  as  a  builder  of  college 
spirit  and  lovaliy.  .\i  a  result  of  this  year's  hazing  one  can  hear  the  college 
songs  sung  in  the  bottom  of  Hodson  Hall  or  wherever  gr(>ups  of  freshmen 
gather.  The  culmination  of  hazing  gives  freshmen  a  feeling  of  "making  the 
grade"  and  being,  at  last,  a  pan  of  ihe  college. 

But  what  do  ibis  year's  freshmen  think  about  it?  Let  them  speak  for 
ihemselves. 

Mickey  DiMaggio.  poet  laureate  of  the  class  of  '56,  uys,  "Since  I  didn'l 
partake  in  it.  1  think  it  wai  pretty  good." 

Claire  Talbot,  despite  being  a  victim  of  mass  hysteria,  'ays,  "It  was 
oodles  of  fun;  especially  being  thrown  inio  the  mud  puddle." 

Aldo  Gallo  was  somewhat  more  emphatic — "Damn  good  idea!"  Bui  you 
need  the  class  behind  you  to  get  anything  done,  especially  when  a  raid  is 
iiagcd.     If  it's  noi  continued  next  year,  we'll  fighi  like  the  dciil  to  get  it." 

One  freshman,  namely  Mickey  DiMaggio,  put  his  impression  in  vcrec  form 

The  rain  was  fallin'. 

The  pit  was  cailin*. 

The  two  learns  went  lo  the  fray. 

To  lug  and  tug  'til  one  line  gave  way. 

They  fell  with  3  crash. 

There  "as  a  big  splash. 

Mud  was  all  over  the  place. 

The  Fro»h  hatl  won  and  ihc  p<tot  Sophomores  were  in  di.sgrace. 

So,  to  the  freshmen,  I  say  you're  championn  irue  blue, 

But  all  1  can  uy  for  ihc  Sophomores  is  I>.  U. 


This   week   we  would    like   lo  inlro- 

jce  Marlene  Meyer,  who  is  Presideni 

of  .^Ipha  Chi  Omega,  Marlene  is  5'  5".

and  wears  a   K.  A.  pin.    She  comes  'o 

from    Havre    dc    Grace,    Maryland, 

Marlene  has  been  an  Alpha  Chi 
Omega  for  four  years;  she  served  as 
the  sorority  treasurer  her  second  year, 
as  Vice-President  her  third,  and  she 
is  now  their  President.  In  I9."il  she 
went  as  the  delegate  for  Beta  Pi  tc 
the  National  Convention,  which  was 
held    in    Roanoke.   Virginia. 

-As  an  active  member  of  the  Science 
Club,  she  is  now  serving  as  their  able 
Secretary-Treasurer.  She  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Washington  Players:  serv- 
ed On  the  Pan-Hellenic  Council  for 
two  years,  acting  as  secretary-treasurer 
last  year,  and  has  been  a  member  of 
the  Future  Teachers  of  Amprica  I'" 
Ihe  past  iwo  years. 

Marlene  wa»  in  the  Couri  for  lh( 
Homecoming  Queen  in  1950.  The  fol- 
liwing  year  she  was  the  charming 
Queen  for  ihe  Homecoming.  Mar- 
lene was  the  lasi  Homecoming  Queen 
iti  the  gii"ii  "'d  dav5  when  the  college 
had  a  football  game. 

She  is  a  biol'gy  major,  and  plans 
use    her    knowledge    by    leaching   high 
school.    We    are    proud    of    Marlene' 
anoinnliihments.  and  wish    her  mucl

fAGE  THREE 


Pitchmen  Down  Western  Md.^  6-2 


Im  The  PRESSBOX 

With  (Sports  Editor)  Ellsworth  Boyd 


Once  again  the  basketballs  are  thumping  the  hardwood  of 
Cain  Gymnasium,  as  Coach  Ed  Athey  preps  his  court  hopefuls  for 
a  24-game  schedule,  opening  December  6  against  Bridgewater  Col- 
lege. 

No  longer  can  Washington  College  boast  of  its  high  scoring 
conference  all-star,  Nick  Scallion.  Nor  does  the  squad  have  the 
height  "of  6'5"  Jim  Taylor.  Coach  Athcy  will  undoubtedly  miss 
the  rebound  fortitude  of  his  four-year  veteran,  Kenny  Sullivan. 

However,  pessimism  is  not  the  theme  in  Cain  Hal!  as  seven  let- 
termen  of  last  year's  team,  plus  a  handful  of  promising  freshman 
candidates,  are  drilling  rigorously  each  evening. 

"Dangerous  Dan"  Samele  and  "Jumping  Jack"  Bergen  head 
this  list  of  seven  returnees  who 
established  a  record  of  12  wins 
and  12  losses  during  the  1951-'52 
season.  Samele,  who  is  captain 
of  this  year's  quint,  racked  up  a 
total  of  267  points  last  season, 
hitting  for  115  field  goals,  while 
converting  57  free  throws. 

Bergen,  who  broke  into  the 
starting  lineup  as  a  freshman, 
tallied  192  markers  and  became 
an  exceptional,  rebound  main- 
stay. Rounding  out  the  '51-'52 
lettermen  are  Bob  Appleby,  Doug 
Tilley,  George  Hesse,  Wes  Ed- 
wards,  and   Sheldon   Deutch, 

The  schedule  this  year  includes 

trips  to  Moravian,  Hofstra,  and 

Wagner     Colleges,     teams     the 

DAN  SAMELE  Shoi:emen  did  not  encounter  last

East  Hall  Downs  G.  I. 

To    Move    Into    First 


By  Hugh  Delano 

East  Hall  and  G.  I.  Hall,  the  two  undefeated  teams  in  the  Intramural 
Touch  Football  League  at  Washington  College,  clashed  for  the  first  time 
[his  season  on  Tuesday  afternoon  with  the  East  Hall  Snakes  posting  a  tight 
1J^13  win  over  the  Rockets  ,to  gain  undisputed  possession  of  first  place. 

By  virtue  of  their  one  touchdown  triumph,  East  Hall  maintained  thei 
perfect  record  in  league  play  with  a  3-0  slate.    Other  undefeated  teams  are 
Foxwell  Hall  and  Somerset  House.  ' 

Tuesday's  big  game  was  a  hard  fought  struggle  all  the  way  with  passes 
accounting  for  all  the  scoring.  G.I.'s  Ronnie  Sisk  and  East  Hall's  John  Wil- 
snTi  took  lo  the  air,  Sisk  flipping  a  pair  of  touchdown  passes  to  Eversole,  and 
Wilson  a  trio  of  passes  for  T.D.'s.  It  was  Wilson's  aerial  to  Footsie  Desmond 
in  the  closing  minutes  of  play  which  gave  Lhe  East  Hallers  their  win. 

It  was  a  fairly  even  game  for  the  first  fifteen  minutes  of  play,  until  Sisk 
passed  to  Eversole  and  G.I.  jumped  in  front  6-0.  Sisk's  toss  to  Jacobs  for  the 
extra  point  was  good  and  the  first  half  ended  with  G.I.  holding  a  7-0  lead. 

East  Half  cracked  the  scoring  column  early  in  the  second  half  as  Wilson 
los-ied  to  Santuili  for  the  score.  The  try  for  the  extra  point  failed  and  G.I. 
held  a  7-6  edge.  ■* 

A  Sisk  to  Eversole  pass  increased  G.I.'s  lead  to  13-6  which  qt  the  time  seem, 
ed  a  comfortable  lead  for  the  Rockets.  However.  East  Hall  staged  a  strong 
comeback  as  once  again  Wilson  passed  lo  John  Leo  and  cut  G.I.'s  lead  to  13-12 

With  little  time  remaining  in  the  game.  East  Hall  tallied  their  winning 
Hiuchdown  on  Wilson's  pass  to  Desmond  to  give  them  a  well- deserved  18-13 
win. 

In  a  game  played  on  October  16,  Foxwell  Hall  won  their  first  game  by 
whipping  Lambda  Chi  13-7.  Jim  Haslett  intercepted  a  pass  on  the  40  and 
tallied  the  initial  touchdown  for  Foxwell.  Haslett's  pass  to  Bob  Cowperth- 
wait  made  the  score  7-0.  Jack  Hunter's  aerial  to  Cowperthwait  gave  the  win- 
ners their  final  score. 

Four  games  are  on  lap  for  next  week.  Those  being  the  K.A.-Middle  Hall 
contest  on  Monday,  East  Hall-Lambda  Chi  on  Tuesday,  G.I.-Somerset  on  Wed- 
nesday and  Foxwell-Theia  Chi  on  Thursday.

Sho'men 
Trip  Bisons 


By  Palmer  Hughes 

Last  Saturday,  on  wind  swept  Kiblcr 
Field,  the  Washington  College  soccei 
tcain  notched  its  initial  victory  by 
Jjcating  a  fighting,  but  'undermanned 
Bucknell  eleven,  4-1,  Never  were  the 
visitors  from  Lewisburg,  Pennsylvania 
in  contention,  as  the  Sho'men  dom- 
inated play  from  the  opening  whistle. 

The  game  started  at  a  quick  pace, 
both  teams  striving  for  the  first  score 
After  twelve  minutes  the  Maroon  and 
Black's  Bob  Appleby  tallied  on 
accurate  pass  from  Ted  Beddow.  A 
minute  later  the  Nesbittmen  scored 
again.  This  time  it  was  Freshman 
Roger  Smoot  who  cut  the  twines  with 
a  penalty  kick.  Nine  minutes  into 
the  second  period,  Washington 
creased  its  lead  to  3fO,  as  Smoot  scored 
his  second  goal  on  a  pass  from  Doug 
Tilley.  The  fourth  and  final  tally  came 
just  before  the  half  when  Bob  Appleby 
alertly  headed  the  ball  into  the  Bison 
goal. 

The  home  team  seemed  content  with 
its  lead,  and  played  fine  defensive  ball 
in  the  second  half.  Bucknell  finally 
came  to  life,  and  scored  late  jn  the 
game  against  the  reserves,  when  the 
game   was  already   tucked  away. 

With  this  victory,  our  team  showed 
both  teamwork  and  fight,  and  appears 
headed  tor  a  very  successful  season. 

AN    EDITORIAL 
By   Joe   Student 

What  is  Hodson  Hall,  a  prison  or 
a  dining  room?  Are  the  students  in 
white  coat  waiters  or  inmates?  And 
how  long  will  the  strict  disciplim 
over  the  waiters  and  the  reformation 
of  the  students'  table  manners  con^ 
linue? 

These  and  other  questions  have 
been  the  genera]  topic  of  conversation 
among  many  of  the  student  body.  It  is 
this  student's  opinion  that  the  man- 
ners and  the  service  in  the  dining 
room  have  been  satisfactory  in  lhe 
past. 

Why  this  sudden  upheaval  toward 
restaurant  style  of  serving.  The  wait- 
ers are  not  serving  individuals  as  in 
eslaurant.  They  are  serving  six 
people  .at  a  time.  Why  make  their 
job  twice  as  hard  by  "demanding" 
ndividual  attention?  The  students  in 
.he  dining  hall  seem  satisfied  with 
the  waiters'  manners  and  dress — even 
though  others  do  not. 

.As  for  the  manners  of  students,  wc 
have  not  received  any  complaints 
from  visitors  or  alumni  who  have 
visited  our  dining  hall,  (f  we  have, 
the  school  has  not  been  notified  of 
it.  .As  one  of  the  student  body  who 
ears  in  Hndson  Hall  daily.  I  see  no 
sudden  need  of  mass  iiuprovemcnt 
over  our  table  manners. 
'  As  Benjamin  Franklin  once  quoted: 
■"When  authority  is  bestowed  upon 
in  individual,  let  his  heart,  not  his 
head,   rule   his   hand!" 


Greyhounds 
Win,  26  To  29 


The  Loyola  College  Greyhounds 
romped  over  the  3.2  mile  Washington 
College  cross-country  course  last-  Sat- 
urday and  eked  out  a  26  to  29  tri- 
umph over  the  Shoremen. 

However,  the  highlight  of  the. dual 
meet  was  once  again  the  performance 
of  Coach  Ed  Athey 's  freshman  ace, 
Mickey  DiMaggio.  DiMaggio  covered 
the  distance  in  16  minutes,  59  seconds 
to  easily  wifl  over  lhe  second  place 
finisher,  Jim  Palace  of  Loyola,  who 
was  clocked  in  17  minutes,  56  seconds. 
Eichelheiger  Outstanding 

Finishing  in  ihird  place  was  Sho'- 
nian  Lew  Buckley  who  heai  several 
iccomplished  Loyola  College  harriers 
This  is  Buckley's  first  year  of  cross 
country  and  he  has  already  scored 
.everal  wins  over  veteran  runnei-s  from 
Tther  schools. 

In  sixth  place  was  George  Eichel- 
bergcr  who  ran  an  excellent  race, 
chalking  up  his  best  time  in  three 
dual  meets. 

Shoremen    Face   B.O.C. 

This  was  Loyola's  first  dual  meet 
of  the  '52  season.  The  Greyhounds 
tangle-  with  Johns  Hopkins  on  Sat- 
urday, while  the  Chestertown  thin- 
clads  arc  host  to  the  renowned  Balti- 
more  Olympic  Club, 

Coach  Bill  Jimeson's  Clubmen  are 
a  much  less  formidable  outfit  thi; 
year  as  compared  to  the  1951  squad 
Walt  Atcheson,  who  set  a  course  rec- 
ord last  season,  is  no  longer  running, 
rior  is  Frank  Pflaging  and  Wiley 
Miller. 

Crouse  No.    1    Man 

Nevertheless,  the  "Pics"  have  found 
a  capable  replacement  in  Merle  Grouse 
former  Bridgewater  College  star,  who 
ivas  runner-up  to  Don  Manger  of 
Hopkins  in  the  '51  Mason-Dixon  Con 
ferencc  Cross-Country  Championships. 
The  Di Maggio-Crouse  duel  will  be  a 
distinctive  feature  of  Saturday's  3.2 
mile  jaunt. 

Coach  Bill  Jimeson,  who  incidentally 
is  running  his  I6lh  year  of  cross- 
country (7th  for  the  Baltimore  Olym- 
pic Club),  boasts  such  veleraas  as: 
Henry  Schalfer.  former  South  Atlantic 
2  mile  champion  in  1951:  George 
Brown,  1947  Mason-Dixon  cross-coun- 
try champion;  John  Pas/ek,  ex-Loyola 
College  standout;  Del  Sullivan  from 
the  U,  of  Maryland,  and  Jim  Bail 
who  is  also  a  former  Loyola  College 
harrier. 

Merle  Crouse  will  be  gunning  for 
his  3rd  straight  win,  after  placing 
first    in    meets    with    Bainbridgc   Prep 

id  Howard  I'niversitv.

Three  Goals 


Washington  College  won  its  second 
straight  victory  of  the  1952  soccer 
season  campaign  by  defeating  a  fav- 
ored Western  Maryland  11  by  the 
^Lure  of  6-2  last  Wednesday  on  the 
liiscr's  field.  The  victory  gave  Wash- 
ington College  a  chance  to  challenge 
Baltimore  U.  in  (he  Mason-Dixon 
Conference.  The  Sho'men  will  be  out 
to  defeat  the  Bees  on  November  1, 
when  ihcy  meet  the  defending  champi- 
ons on  Kibler  Field. 

During  the  first  period  of  the  West- 
ern Maryland  game,  action  was  cen- 
tered at  mid-field,  with  both  teams 
showing  hustle  and  teamwork.  Dur- 
ing a  pile-up  in  front  of  the  goal. 
Bob  Appleby  opened  the  scoring  ram- 
page by  heading  the  ball  into  the  up 
per  right  hand  corner  of  the  netsi 
Moments  later,  center  forward  Rogei 
Smoot  scored  hb  first  of  three  goals, 
on  a  penally  kick.  A  pass  by  Doug 
Tilley  to  freshman  Smoot.  gave  Wash- 
ington   a    substantial    3-0    lead. 

Western  Maryland  countered  its 
first  goal  on  a  miscue  on  the  part  of 
the  Washington  defense.  This  con- 
cluded the  scoring  for  lhe  half.  But 
the  Maroon  aiid  Black  was  not  lo  be 
denied,  and  bounced  back  in  the  sec- 
ond half  to  tally  three  more  goals  to 
the  loser's  one.  The  scorers  for  the  at- 
tack were  Smoot,  .Appleby  and  Tom 
Bounds".  The.se  goals  were  set  up  by 
the  footwork  of  Rod  Ware  and  Phil 
Riggin.

Hardwood 
Drills  Begin 


The  Washington  College  basketball 
squad  began  its  practice  sessions  two 
weeks  ago  and  Coach  Alhey's  hard- 
wood contingent  now  consists  of  13 
men. 

After  a  series  of  continuous  scrim- 
mages during  the  initial  week,  the  40 
court  candidates  were  cut  lo  the 
necessary  group  of  13.  Although  the 
soccer  and  cross-country  basketball 
prospects  have  not  yet  reported  for 
practice,  the  evening  work-outs  will 
continue  until  the  opening  of  the 
season. 

Eight  freshmen  arc  currently  drill- 
ing with  last  year's  lettermen.  These 
new  men  include:  Ralph  Laws.  Dave 
Jacobs,  Bob  Sullivan,  Ron  Sisk,  Ed 
Silverie.  Ebe  Josephs,  Dave  Brockell, 
and  Junior  Eversole.  Captain  Dan 
Samele,  Jack  Bergen,  Wes  Edwards,

[he  Dec.  6  opener. 

During  the  past  years  the  home 
games  have  been  held  ai  the  Ches- 
tertown .Armory,  but  this  season  the

Players  To  Present 
''Ten  Little  Indians" 

Washington  College  has  long  been  proud  of  its  dramatic  group, 
[lie  Washington  Players.  This  fall,  as  in  the  past,  the  Players  are 
prep.ired  to  bring  the  college  and  the  community  another  excellent 
production.  However,  instead  of  the  traditional  heavy  drama,  a 
suspense-packed,  clever  mystery  has  been  chosen.  This  mystery  is 
"Ten  Little  Indians",  by  Agatha  Christie.  The  play  will  be  staged 
jn  \VilIiam  Smith  Auditorium  on  November  20  and  21.

(Continued  on  Page  Four) 


Dr.  John  A.  Wagner,  of  the  De- 
partment of  Pathology,  University  of 
Maryland  School  of  Medicine,  and 
an  alumnus  of  Washington  College, 
has  again  extended  his  annual  invi- 
tation to  the  pre-medical  students 
of  W.C.  Through  the  kindness  of 
Dr.  Wagner,  the  pre-medical  student 
at  W.C.  has  four  opportunities  during 
his  college  years  lo  visit  a  medical 
school  and  hospital,  seeing  a  different 
phase  of  the  work  each  year.  These 
orientation  tours  are  given  to  help 
the  prospective  medical  student  to 
come  to  the  decision  concerning  a  med- 
ical career. 

This  year's  tour,  which  is  open  to 
all  pre-medical  students,  freshmen 
through  seniors,  will  visit  University 
Hospital  in  Baltimore,  under  Dr.  Wag- 
ner's  direction.  Besides  a  general  lour 
of  the  hospital,  the  facilities  for  X-ray. 
electrocardiography,  and  electro-ence- 
phalography  work  will  be  inspected. 
If  possible,  an  operation  will  be  wit- 
nessed, as  well  as  the  autopsy  room. 
The  operation  of  the  hospital  will  be 
explained,  including  the  handling  of 
patients,  the  use  of  hospital  charts, 
and  the  work  of  the  nurses. 

The  tour  ibis  year  will  be  made  on 
Friday,  November  21.  Cars  will  leave 
the  W.C.  campus  at  11:15  a.m.  A 
light  lunch  will  be  secured  in  Balti- 
more before  reporting  to  Dr.  Wag- 
ner. Students  who  make  the  field  trip 
will  be  excused  from  classes. 

Pre-medical  students  who  desire  lo 
make  the  trip  are  to  sign  up  before 
November  12  with  Dr.  Erk.  who  will  be 
in   charge  of   the   field   trip. 

WSSF  Plans

As  a.  method  of  raising  funds  for  the 
World  Student  Service  Fund,  the

"FROM  THE  OUTSIDE  WORLD" 

Editor's  note:  Although  criticisms  have  been  made  during  the  past 
two  weeks  that  the  ELM  is  becomini?  a  "student  government  mag- 
azine" wc  don't  want  to  miss  the  opportunity  to  let  the  student! 
know  what  the  "outside  world"  thinks  about  Washington  College 
and  Student  Government. 
Editor,  The  Elm 
Washinjjton  College 
Chcstertown,  Maryland 
Dear  Editor: 

I  was  quite  surprised,  at  Homecoming,  to  hear— and  to  read  in 
The  EIra — that  a  portion  of  the  student  body  is  reluctant  to  ac- 
cept the  restoration  of  student  government,  even  though  the  col- 
lege administration  favors  its  re-establishmcnt.  This  is  a  curious 
"twist"  even  in  these  unusual  days. 

I  attended  the  college  from  1936  to  1940;  we  had  student 
government,  and  it  worked.  At  that  time,  the  student  body  was 
proud  and  jealous  of  its  privileges  of  self-determination  and  was  al- 
ways on  guard  against  faculty  interference  or  any  indication  that 
student  government  might  be  taken  from  us.  Today,  some  of  the 
students  seem  fearful  that  self-government  will  be  thrust  upon  them. 
For  some  time  now  I  have  felt  that  young  men  and  women  have 
greater  maturity  and  development  than  did  the  students  of  the 
late  1930's.  One  wonders,  however,  why  a  substantial  number  should 
now  shrink  from  democratic  management  of  at  least  a  portion  of 
their  college  life. 

One  of  the  reasons  why  I  have  always  been  proud  of  WC  is 
that  it  affords  an  excellent  training  ground,  in  four  of  the  most 
important  years  of  a  person's  life,  for  development  in  a  society  hav- 
ing most  of  the  attributes  of  that  in  which  we  spend  the  larger  part 
of  our  lives.  Being  non-denominational,  co-educational,  not  too 
large,  and  not  too  wealthy  or  select,  its  society  is  entirely  "normal." 
But.  in  my  opinion,  the  experience  there  would  be  more  valuable 
to  future  citizens,  and  their  individual  careers,  if  it  included  par- 
ticipation in  such  democratic  processes  as  student  nominations, 
campaigns  and  elections,  and  student  management  of  campus 
activities.  I  cannot  believe  that  Washington  College  students  of 
today  are  unable  to  do  these  things  sensibly,  or  that  a  majority  of 
them  would  rather  have  someone  else  make  decisions  than  to  do 
so  themselves. 

Very  truly  yours,

OUR  MISTAKE! 

Two  weeks  ago,  there  appeared  in  the  ELM  an  article  written 
by  one  "Joe  Student."  It  is  always  the  policy  of  good  journalists 
anywhere,  never  to  print  an  item  that  is  opinionated  unless  it  is 
signed  or  a  pen  name  is  used  and  the  editor  knows  who  the  author 
is. 

We  were  in  error  to  run  the  article  and  admit  our  mistake 
However,  -we  would  like  to  make  our  policy  hereafter  clear.     No 
article  that  is  the  opinion  of  an  individual  or  a  group  of  individuals 
.  will  be  printed  in  the  ELM  unless  it  is  signed. 

This  policy  is  for  our  own  protection  as  well  as  the  studrni" 
The  ELM's  opinions  do  not  always  coincide  with  those  of  num-  r 
ous  students.    In  order  to  keep  the  scores  straight,  we  require  the

SENIOR  Of

This  week  we  would  like  to  intro- 
duce Lyn  White,  who  is  President  of 
Alpha  OmicTon  Pi  Sorority.  Lyn  is 
an  attractive  girl  with  blue  eyes  and 
long  blond  hair  and  a  ready  smile. 
■'Whiicy"  thinks  that  she  is  the  best 
tiiile  wife  in    the  world. 

Lyn  has  been  an  Alpha  Omicron 
Pi  for  four  years;  she  served  as  the 
sorority  assistant  treasurer  her  sec- 
ond year,  as  Vicc-Pfcsidcnt  her  third, 
and  the  is  now  their  President. 


It's  Also 
Time  For  A 
Change  Here 

By  E.  A.  Colitti 
Washington    College     is     now    170 
years   old.   Its   dominant   interest   has 
always   been   the  student;  to  see  thai 
he    receives    a    good    edncaiion,    both 
academically  and  socially.  The  biggest 
thing  on  the  social  side  of  the  edu 
tional  process  is  learning  how  to  I 
in   a   democrac)'.    Here   is   where 
ma  Mater  has  failed.  She  presents 
with    ihc    "democratic    way"    in     I 
classrooms,    but    not    in    practice 
her   campus.    This   is   not    her    fault. 
It  is  our  fault,  yes  the  fault  of  we,  the 
students.    Wc    let    the    administration 
tell  lis  what  we  can  and  what  we  can- 
not do.    The  administration  does  not 
want  to  do  this.    We  force  them  into 
doing  it  because  we  have  no  body  in 
which  wc  can  govern  ourselves,  a  Stu- 
dent   Government.    (Ask    the    Admin- 
istration, they  will  tell  you  the  same 
thing.) 

Wc  also  have  OJD.K.  telling  us  what 
we  can  and  cannot  do  by  their  con- 
trol over  the  puisc.  They  also  per- 
form this  function  because  of  the  lack 
of  a  Student  Government.  They  have 
performed  the  function  of  distribut- 
ing student  activity  money  wcll_  but 
they  do  not  have  the  right  to  perform 
this  function.  You  don't  have  to  ask 
O.D-K.  They  have  repeatedly  told  us 
that  it  is  contrary  to  their  charier. 
We  owe  a  lot  to  O.D.K.,  but  it  is 
about  lime  we  rernovc  the  burden 
from  ihcir  shoulders  that  lhe>'  do  not 
want  to  carry. 

Then,  of  course,  we  have  "Joe  Stu- 
dent." What  does  he  do  about  this? 
I'll  tell  you  what  he  does  in  one  word, 
hing."  I  make  this  statement 
from  observation.  The  Student  Govern- 
ment Committee  meets  twice  a  week, 
er  are  there  more  than  ten 
people  at  any  meeting,  yet  tiie  whole 
student  body  has  been  invited  to  at- 
tend. (Note:  I  said  "Joe  Student" — 
Hals  off  to  those  who  have  helped  in 
committees  and   assemblies.) 

What  are  we  going  to  do?  Leave 
things  as  they  are,  or  are  we  going  to 
bring  about  a  change?  Remember— 
we,  the  students,  are  the  only  ones 
who  can  do  anything  about  it.  1  be- 
lieve  it's  "time  for  a  change."  Let's 
unite,  we  have  nothing  to  lose,  but 
much  to  gain.

Hodson  Hall,  in  our  opinion,  is 
not  a  prison  and  there  has  been  no 
"mass  reformation"  to  justify  thii 
statement.  It  has  long  been  a  collegia 
rule  that  male  students  were  to  we'Si 
coats  and  ties  to  the  evening  me.il— 
docs  this  make  the  atmosphere  suem 
like  that  of  a  prison?  In  many  1" 
lernitics,  boys  are  required  to  wear 
coats  and  ties  to  meetings,  but  suH 
ihey  join  these  fraternities  and  dtui'i 
refer  to  them  as  prisons,  Why  tl'tn 
should  the  dining  hall  be  considcnd 
a  prison? 

The  service  in   the  past  in   the  din- 
ing hall  has  been  satisfactory  and  tlif 
tew   changes   which   have   been   iii.iil' 
certainly    haven't    changed      the    [t"

PAGE  THREE 


pitchmen  Play  M-D  Finale  Today 


With  (Sports  Editor)  Ellsworth  Boyd 


Hopkins  Final  Mason-Dixon  Opponent 

The  Shore  soccer  squad  squares  off  against  Johns  Hopkins  tc 
(Jay  in  what  shapes  up  to  be  one  of  the  most  important  contests,  of 
llic  season  for  the  Maroon  hooters. 

Remaining  on  the  schedule  are  two  games — Hopkins  and  Drc\ 
fl.  Victories' over  both  of  these  teams  would  earn  for  Coach  Ni 
bitt  and  his  team,  an  invitation  to  the  Middle-Atlantic  All-St  i 
tournament  in  Philadelphia.  Only  Hopkins  and  Drexel  can  pre  (ni 
ihf  Shoremen  from  capturing  the  Middle-Atlantic  Southeast  n 
area  championship. 

Coach    Wilson   Fewster  of  Hopkins  boasts   a  team  on  whu 
most  of  his  pitchmen  have  played  for  two  complete  seasons.  Centi  i 
forward  Jim  Hutchins  scored  in  every  game  last  year  and  has  i  oi 
[inued  his  fine  play  this  year.    The  heart  of  the  Bluejay  pitch  Tt 
lack  is  Stan  Henry  who  fills  in  the  center  halfback  spot. 

The  Jays  are  not  rich  in  close  defense  talent,  but  Fewster  often 
shifts  his  halfbacks  in  an  effort  to  strengthen  the  area  near  the  n(  l 
Sis  foot,  four  inch  Dave  Hack  guards  the  goal  and  is  noted  for  a 
;trfing  throwing  arm  and  good  reflexes. 

Emil  Budnitz,  former  City  College  star,  capably  handles  the  in- 
side right  position  and  is  an  excellent  passer  and  dribbler.  The 
Charles  Street  team  has  already  beaten  Towson  and  Western  Md.. 
but  bowed  to  Drcxcl  Tech  last  Saturday.  If  Hopkins  should  com- 
plete their  season  undefeated  in  Mason-Dixon  competition,  they 
would  be  declared  co-champs  along  with  Baltimore  University. 
A  play-ofT  game  between  these  two  teams  is  doubtful. 

However,  Coach  Howie  Ncsbitt  and  his  stalwarts  will  be  gun- 
ning for  the  Bluejays  in  an  effort  to  knock  them  out  of  the  Ma- 
son-Dixon soccer  race. 

Although  the  Nesbittmen  lost  to  Baltimore  U.  2  to  0  last  Sat- 
urday, the  Bees  were  never  comfortably  ahead  until  the  dying 
moments  of  play  when  they  taUied  their  second  goal  The  spirit- 
ed Sho'  team  played  hard  for  88  minutes  and  kept  the  visitors  on 
[heir  toes  for  the  same  amount  of  time. 

Baltimore  Coach,  Cal  Ermer,  has  piloted  his  pitchmen  to  three 
straight  Mason-Dixon  titles.  The  Bees  have  lost  only-one  game 
in  the  last  three  years,  this  being  to  West  Chester,  3  to  1,  in  1950. 
This  season  they  have  notched  eight  wins  and  dented  opposing  nets 
lor  31  goals.     Two  contests  remain — Salisbury  and  Loyola. 

The  Baltimore  hooters  have  moved  into  the  center  of  the  pitch 
spotlight  via  their  3-0  win  over  West  Chester  State  Teachers,  one 
of  the  nation's  perennially  best  elevens.

Courtmen  Prepare  With 
Five  Scrimmages 


The  Washington  College  hardwood 
forces  will  compete  in  their  second 
scrimmage  session  against  the  Bain- 
bridge  Naval  Prep  on  Monday,  No- 
vember  10,  at  Bainbridgc. 

As  tunc-ups  for  the  opening  con 
test  on  December  6  against  Bridge- 
water,  Coach  Alhey  haj  also  matched 
the  Shoremen  against  the  Dover 
town  team  on  the  12th,  Bainbridge 
again  on  the  18th,  and  Fort  Meade 
on  the  20th. 

The  squad  is  now  in  its  prelim- 
inary stages,  practicing  fundamental 
drills  plus  team  play  in  offensive  and 
defensive  tiiane'uvers.  At  the  conclu- 
sion of  (he  scrimmage  sessions.  Coach 
.■\they  hopes  to  form  his  starting  con- 
tingent. No  first  team  is  available  now 
due  to  the  fall  sports  that  are  still 
being  played.  Eight  to  ten  more  aspir- 
ants are  expected  to  report  for  try- 
outs  when  these  fall  sports  terminate. 

Among  the  freshmen  prospects  still 
buttling  for  varsity  berths,  is  Ronnie 
Sisk,  whose  floor  play  has  been  out- 
standing along  with  an  accurate  eye 
for  the  basket.  Ralph  Laws  is  a 
promising  alternate  at  forward  and 
center,  along  with  Ebc  Josephs  and 
Dick  Brochell.  Ed  Silverie  has  been 
impressive  by  his  accurate  shots  from 
the  foul  circle.  Dave  Jacobs,  Bob 
Sullivan  and  Junior  Eversole  com- 
plete the  list  of  newcomei^i,  the  latter 
courtmen  adept  at  rebounding. 

Six  foot,  five  inch  Frank  Ferris, 
transfCT  student  from  Davis-El Vfns 
College,  has  been  working  out  with 
the  team  but  has  been  declared  in- 
eligible  for   this  season. 

Danny  Samele  and  Jack  Bergen 
have  shown  exceptional  pre-season 
form  and  it  is  hoped  they  will  con- 
tinue their  fine  play  this  season,  as 
last. 

Xlthough  tacking  height  and  ex-

■  1    its  second  game  of.  the  year  to  a 

in    Baltimore    U.    aggregation    by 

lit  -iLorc  of  2-0.  .'\Uhiiugh  not  out- 
'li.><d,  the  Shoremen  just  lacked  the 

Miiiiig  pimch  needed  for  victory.  The 
.:iiiK,  in  which  the  Mason-Dixon  Con- 
'iiiiit-e  lead  was  at  stake,  was  so  ex- 

iiini;    that    spectators   Were   kept    on 

W    edge    of    il^cir    scats    throughout 

he    long    afternoon. 

ll.iUimore  U.  opened  the  scoring

'  I  v>hcn  Stan  Rosick  booted  the  ball 
luni    the    upper    left    hand    corner    ot 

II'-  Washington  goal.  The  Bees  made 
rhis  lone  tally  stand  up,  as  they 
withstood  ihc  furious  attack  of  ihe 
Maroon    and    Black.    Baltimore    goalie 

\|  Seidlccki,  made  a  number  of  ex- 
cellent saves.  The  second  score  came 
in  the  last  30  seconds  of  the  contest, 
when  Don  Brodsky's  shot  bounced  oil 
the  goal  post  into  the  open  net.  Al- 
though the  team  lost,  special  men- 
tion should  be  made  of  the  fight  the 
whole  squad  displayed  and  to  several 
nlayers  who  were  outstanding.  Goalie 
Ji>e  Szymanski  played  his  finest  game 
oE  the  year,  as  he  was  called  on  to 
make  19  saves,  and  came  through 
in  fine  style.  Helping  on  the  defense 
was  Bill  Russell  who  was  averaging 
60  yards  on  his  fine  boots.  On  the  of- 
fense Dick  Weller,  Doug  Tilley,  and 
Rod  Ware  kept  Seidlecki  busy.  Other 
nlayers  not  to  be  outdone  were  Al 
Hanifce,   Bob   Appleby,   Phil   Riggan. 

"Rip"  Sewell,  Joe  Geissler,  John  Grim, 
[ack  Jennings,  Ted  Beddow  and  Joe

body    for   its    fine    support. 

G.I.  Defeats 
FoxweU 

C.I.  Hall  defeated  Foxwell  last 
Wednesday  to  gain  undisputed  claim 
uf  second  place  in  the  college  intra- 
mural football  league. 

A  pass  from  Dick  Brochell  to  Shel- 
ly Bade  put  the  G-I.  squad  out  in 
front  6  to  0.  Then  Brochell  hit  Ed 
Silverie  for  the  second  straight  tally. 
The  G.I.  "six"  seemed  headed  for  a 
rout,  but  Haslctt  of  Foxwell  passed 
to  Coperthwaith  for  the  only  Fox 
r.D.  It  was  Hasleit  to  Johnson  for 
the  extra  point,  and  the  Foxwell 
team   was   back  in   the  game. 

Many  penalties  marked  the  contest, 
as  the  losers  threatened  td  score  nu- 
merous times,  but  were  thwarted  by 
pass  interceptions. 

In    two    other    contests    last     week, 
G.I.   beat  Somerset  25  to   12  and  Fox-

The  Frosh 


By   Carol   Uudgincs 

Robert  Boyd,  known  to  all  his 
friends  as  "Bob",  is  one  o£  ihe  laiesi 
.  additions   lu  our  campus. 

Bub  was  born  in  Nottingham,  Penn- 
s>Kania,  in  August  of  1934.  When 
his  parents  moved  [o  North  East, 
Manland,  to  establish  a  plumbing 
business.  Bob  transferred  lo  North  East 
High  School,  where  he  graduated  in 
June  with  the  honor  of  best  all  around 
bo)    in   the  senior  class. 

There  are  two  main  topics  which 
conhscatc  bis  conversation.  First  and 
foremost  in  his  mind  arc  boats  and 
water  skiing.  Living  on  a  river,  his 
summers  are  filled  with  boating.  Dur- 
ing ihe  day  he  is  employed  with 
Green's  Boat  Works,  and  most  of  his 
spare  lime  he  spends  water  skiing  or 
boat  racing.  Just  before  school  began, 
h'luever,  his  favorite  sailboat  met  a 
horrible  death  when  a  surprise  storm 
chopped   it   into   Brewood. 

When  not  discussing  the  newest 
teatute  of  a  Cris  Craft,  Bob  is  likely 
to  be  engaged  in  a  political  debate. 
In  fact,  he  likes  politics  so  well  that 
he  plans  lo  major  in  law  qnd  make  ii 
hi*  career. 

Coming  to  Washington  College.  Bob 
considers  as  the  best  decision  he  ever 
made  or  he  will  at  mid-term  when  he 
gets  his  3.0  index  and  can  have  hb 
car  down  here.

"HAPPY  THANKSGIVING' 


U.  N.  Effectiveness 

Brings  Out  Debaters 


Dipping  into  the  international  sit- 
uation and  clashing  on  Ihe  relative 
merits  of  the  United  Nations,  a  de- 
bate team  composed  of  two  students, 
Larry  Wedekind  and  Harvey  Sarais. 
and  two  professors,  Edward  Padget 
and  Norman  James,  argued  the  reso- 
lution Wednesday  night,  "That  the 
United  Nations  is  sufficient  to  main- 
tain world  peace." 

Leading  off  for  the  affirmative, 
Wedekind  emphasized  the  need  for 
such  an  organization  in  the  present 
world  situation.  "The  peace  and  well 
being  of  all  the  people  of  the  world 
are  intimately  interrelated"  he  stal- 
ed. He  also  reviewed  briefly  the  past 
record  of  the  world  organization, 
pointing  out  their  success  in  peace- 
ful settlemenis  and  stopping  aggres- 
sion. 

Answering  as.  the  first  negative 
speaker.  Samij  pointed  out  that  the 
U.N.  was  not  united  and  that  the  nu- 
merous, regional  pacts  which  have 
been  entered  into  by  the  various  na- 
tions only  show  the  instability  of  the 
U.N.  He  emphasized  that  the  U.N. 
should  be  an  end  in  itself  to  be  ef- 
feciive.  He  also  mentioned  that  the 
nations  represented  in  the  organiza- 
tion were  not  sharing  the  burden  in 
Korea. 

Professor  Padgett,  as  the  second  af- 
firmative speaker  was  qnick  to  answer 
is  with  a  list  of  the  conn  tries 
contributing  lo  the  Korean  war.  He 
came  back  ai  his  opponent  with 
aicment  that  the  regional  pacts 
helped  les.'icn  the  burden, of  the  U.N, 
onfiicis.  He  particularly  emphasized 
Ihe  need  for  "parliamentary,  not  mil- 


itary"   battles   which    the   U.N.   could 
and  does  provide. 

Both   affirmative   speakers   admitted 
the  imperfections  of     the     U.N.,  bi 
agreed    ihai    it   was    the    best   way   to 
achieve  the  final  goal  of  world  peace. 

As  final  speaker  for  the  negative, 
Mr,  James  stated  that  the  present 
U.N,  was  faced  with  an  impossible 
task,  and  thai  because  such  a  tre- 
mendous burden  rested  on  its  shoul- 
ders, that  it  was  not  sufficient  to  main- 
tain world  peace.  He  listed  as  fail- 
ures of  the  U.N.,  tlie  trusteeship  sys- 
tem which  has  fallen  into  outright 
exploitation,  and  the  Israel  problem, 
which  has  caused  more  hard  feelings 
than  it  has  friendly  ones.  He  emphasiz- 
ed the  faults  of  open  dimplomacy  and 
stated  that  secret  diplomacy  would 
bring   far  greater  results. 

As  rebuttal^  the  negative  team  re- 
marked that  the  United  States,  as 
well  as  other  nations,  depended  too 
heavily  on  the  success  of  the  U.N., 
and  that  because  of  this  had  not  con- 
sidered any  alternatives  for  bringing 
about  world  peace.  They  reaffirmed 
their  position  on  the  weakness  of  the 
U.N.  by  arguing  that  the  regional 
pacts  took  power  away  from  the  or- 
ganization and  restating  the  resolu- 
tion "that  the  U.N.  is  sufficient  to 
maintain  world  peace"  with  emphasis 
on  its  present  weakness  to  accomplish 
anything    effective   in    Korea. 

Summing  up  for  the  affirmative, 
Mr.  Padget  stated  that  the  recognition 
of  the  U.N.  weakness  and  the  chance 
to  improve,  would  give  the  people  a 
chance  lo  "progress  decently  and 
lowly  to  a  world  of  justice."

Gallo  Gains 
Special  Praise 


The  Washington  Pliyer.s  have  stag- 
ed, for  their  first  production  of  the 
year,  a  smooth,  amusing  and  often 
exciting  performance  of  Agatha  Chris- 
tie's "Ten  Little  Indians."  All  credit 
for  this  achievement  goes  lo  the  Play- 
ers and  none  to  Miss  Christie,  who 
has  dramatized  clumsily  a  novel  for 
which  one  might  pay  twenty-five  cents 
in  order  lo  avoid  the  conversation  of 
one's  neighbor  on  a  long  railway 
journey. 

Special  praise  goes  to  Aldo  Gallo 
for  his  pcrfonnance  as  General  Mac- 
kenzie. Stolidity  and  tenderness,  reso. 
hit  ion  and  resignation  were  all  con- 
veyed by  Mr.  Gallo  with  perfectly 
controlled  and  imaginatively  manip- 
ulated subtlety,  suggestion  and  nou- 
ance.  Although  Miss-  Christie  com- 
pounded the  General's  main  speech 
out  of  some  of  the  most  inadequately 
embalmed  cliches,  Mr.  Gallo  made 
that  speech  the  highlight  of  the  eve- 
ning. It  was  entirely  the  art  of  Mr, 
Gallo  ihai  created,  in  place  of  Miss 
Christie's  type,  the  General  Mackenzie 
we  were  privileged  to  sec  last  night 
— an  individual  with  a  charm  and 
compulsion  of  his  own. 

There  were  other  admirable  per- 
formances. Although  the  enunciation 
of  Al  Easterby  was  occasionally  little 
more  distinct  than  that  of  a  bullfrog, 
this  quality  Is  scazcdf  lin'^'TrTsli  aad 
only  contributed  to  ihe  delightful 
portrayal  by  Mr.  Easterby  of  the  un- 
conscious humor  often  evoked  by  the 
gravity  of  police  officials.  With  a  fre- 
quently stunning  British  accent  and 
in  even  more  effeciive  "Tennis  any 
one?"  smile,  John  Parker  put  life  in- 
to Miss  Christie's  representation  of 
gilded  youth.  Jack  Daniel  achieved 
sensitivity  and  range  in  the  role  of 
.1  nerve  specialist,  while  Kay  Booth 
Layhen  gave  a  spirited  impersonation 
I  savage  British  serving- woman,

"A  TRADITION" 

Many  an  article  has  been  written  on  the  "Theatre."  Review  of 
productions,  gossip  about  the  stars,  backstage  talk,  and  the  exploits 
of  the  various  angels  on  Broadway.  The  theatre  world— coarse  as  it 
may  seem  to  some  individuals,  holds  a  certain  magnetic  clement  that 
makes  possible  their  traditional  slogan  "the  show  must  go  on."  And 
the  best  part  about  that  tradition  is  that  they  really  mean  it,  and 
arc  not  trying  to  appear  as  heroes. 

With  the  better  part  of  the  past  week  being  taken  up  with  talk 
about  the  Washington  Players,  rehearsals  and  ticket  selling,  we'd  like 
to  take  this  opportunity  to  hold  them  up  as  an  example  of  that  old 
theatrical  slogan.  With  their  work  in  the  dramatic  field  being  a 
side  line  to  their  education,  we  think  they  do  a  marvelous  job  with 
their  presentations. 

There's  a  lot  more  to  putting  on  a  show  than  meets  the  eye. 
Anyone  who  is  a  member  of  the  Players  will  tell  you  that  .  .  .  and 
when  a  group  reaches  the  number  of  65  active  members,  all  of  them 
doing  something  towards  the  production,  you  can  be  sure  that  there's 
work  involved  .  .  ,  and  it's  not  all  acting!  About  50  of  these  mem- 
bers are  doing  the  "dirty  work"  of  building  sets,  painting,  working 
the  lights  and  the  sound  efTects,  make-up,  prompting,  and  all  the 
publicity. 

We  think  from  the  presentation  last  night,  that  the  rest  of 
Washington  College  will  agree  uith  us  that  it  was  the  top  notch 
work  of  a  top-notch  organization,  A  group  that  works  entirely  on 
their  own  and  really  has  something  to  show  for  their  efforts.  How- 
ever, if  we  continue,  we  may  steal  our  reviewer's  steam,  so  without 
further  adieu,  we'll  just  say  "congratulatjons." 


Question  Of  The  Week 

What  type  of  production  would  you  like  to  see  the  Washington 
Players  produce? 

A.  J.  Carr — I'd  like  to  see  a  musical  comedy  or  an  operetta  of  some 

sort. 

Bill  Bloomfield — I  like  the  production  they're  putting  on  now.  My 

preference  is  murder  mysteries. 

Leila  Davis — A  musical  comedy.  With  the  cooperation  of  the  choir 

I  think  this  could  be  done. 

Dave  Humpherics — After  deep  consideration,  I'd  lite  a  comedy, 

Martha  Goldsborough — I'd  like  to  see  the  Players  combine  with 

the  chorus  and  have  a  musical  production. 

Jim  Metcalf — Classics!! 

Sue  Samuels — I'd  like  to  see  the  Players  do  a  good  drama  or  a 

true  comedy.  (Classics). 

June  Walls — I  think  a  comedy  would  be  good. 

Al  Easterby — I  like  something  light — a  comedy, 

Billy  Russell — I'd  like  to  see  a  comical  satire  on  the  professors  and 

students  of  Washington  College  written  by  yours  truly. 

Chuck  Waesche — Instead  of  the  one-act  plays  in  the  middle  of  the 

year  I'd  like  to  see  something  very  light,  for  example,  something 

on  the  line  of  a  minstrel  show. 


A  Letter  To 
The  Editor 


Let  me  begin  by  staling  I  am  a 
"Joe  Student"  who  is  not  afraid  of 
stating  his  name  or  beliefsl  Let  me, 
fini  of  all,  state  thai  ihc  changes 
which  have  come  about  tbu  week 
have  been,  in  my  opinion,  mcxtly 
unaccepted!  In  my  own  opinion  I 
generally  concur  wiih  ihe  diangc.  I 
(eel  that  the  way  ii  has  a>ine  about, 
however,  is  wholly  wrong.  People,  in 
general,  are  opposed  to  change.  They 
become  set  in  their  ways  and  beliefs. 
There  is  but  one  way  to  aSeci  a 
change  and  that  is  by  accustoming 
people  lo  a  gradual  acceptance  rather 
iban  by  the  abrupt  way  things  have 
been  conducted.  How  aboui  affect- 
ing the  change  by  &isi  showing  the 
whole  question  open  to  debate.  In- 
quiries ihrougb  inierviews  of  the  stu- 
dent) u   well   as   appcab   for   sugges- 


tions would  accomplish  this  transition 
in  a  much  quicker  fashion. 

Now  that  I  have  discussed  how  to 
affect  the  conversion  of  public  opin- 
ion,  may  I  now  state  my  views  on  one 
specific   aspect  of  the   transition, 

1  am  against  the  coat  and  tie  prin- 
ciple. I  feel  that  it  should  be  enough 
to  suggest  the  men  shave  and  dress 
neatlyl  When  I  eai  with  my  parents 
at  home  I  wear  a  sport  shin  and  a 
clean  pair  of  trousers — ]  do  this  be- 
cause wearing  dress  shirts  constantly 
adds  to  the  expense  of  my  family's 
budget;  I  feel  I  am  still  well  dressed, 
though  not  in  fashion,  for  dining  out 
in  a  respectable  restaurant. 

Down  here  at  school  I  do  not  feel 
I  am  dining  out.  I  dress  for  comfort 
and  convenience.  I  cannot  afford  to 
dry  clean  my  coai  constantly,  nor  can 
I  afford  to  have  my  shirts  consunily 
laundered.  I  feel  that  I  am  welt  dress- 
ed and  in  accord  with  the  fashion  of 
college  when  I  eat  in  a  casual,  but 
near  fashion.  Why  then,  may  I  ask, 
are  we  subjeaed  to  an  army  discipline? 
Make  it  obligatory  that  the  men  shave 


Senior  Of 
The  Week 


With  this  issue,  the  Elm  honors 
Tony  Tonian  as  senior  of  the  week. 
Dotn  iti  Rosiove.  Russia,  February 
21.  1930,  Tony  spent  all  his  youth  in 
the  East.  He  has  traveled  extensively 
through  Europe,  Asia  and  North  Afri- 
ca, When  asked  what  he  enjoyed 
most  in  all  his  travels  he  replied. 
"Paris,  because  of  her  fascinating  his- 


torical backgrouad,  especially  the 
FolliesI" 

In  1947,  soon  after  the  war,  Tony 
came  to  America — to  his  "land  of 
milk  and  Honey,"  He  attended  St. 
Andrew's  Prep  before  coming  to 
Washington  College. 

Last  year  Tony  was  president  of 
the  .\rt  Club  and  chairman  of 
W.S,S.F.  He  became  a  member  of 
the  Varsity  Club  this  year.  Tennis,  of 
course,  is  his   favorite  sport. 

Photography,  painting  and  Jean  arc 
his  main  interests  at  present.  College 
photographer,  editpr  of  the  Pegasus 
and  vice-president  of  Lambda  Chi 
are  just  a  few  of  the  many  offices  he 
now  holds  in  student  activities, 

Tony's  major  is  Chemistry.  Next 
year  he  plans  either  to  enter  Maryland 
as  a  medical  student,  or  work  for  the 
United  Nations  as  a  linguist. 


A  Suggestion 


Washington  Collegians  do  not  ap- 
pear to  have  any  particular  love  for 
hymn  singing,  at  least  that's  the  way 
it  sounds  on  Thursday  morning  dur- 
ing assembly.  In  fact,  it  almost  be- 
comes convincing  that  Washington 
Collegians  do  not  have  any  love  for 
singing,  because  even  the  old  school 
song   doesn't    bring   out    the   voices. 

Several  years  ago,  Mrs.  E.  Wini- 
fred Opgrande  wrote  a  school  song 
that  seemed  to  appeal  to  everyone. 
The  words  were  good,  the  music, 
which  she  composed,  was  singable, 
and  best  of  all.  everyone  liked  to 
sing  it. 

Here  are  the  words: 

Our  alma  mater,  we'll  always  cherish 

To  thee  we  pledge  our  fondest 
dreams. 

Maroon  and  Black  will  never  perish, 

While  honor,  truth,  and  sen'icc 
gleam. 

Beneath    thy    banner,      will      always 

gather 
Your  loyal  sons  and  daughters  true. 
Thy    hallowed    halls    of    fame    and 

valor 
Will   guide   us   all    the   long     years 

through. 

Now,  all  that  is  needed  is  a  copy  of 

the   music   for    the   assembly    pianist, 

and   perhaps   a   good   song  will   come 

forth  from  the  crowd.  It's  worth  a  try. 


Reid  Hall  — 

CONFIDENTIAL 


By   Etetty  Blanton 

Good  evening,  ladies  and  gentle- 
men and  readers  of  the  "Elm".  This 
is  an  on-the-spot- report,  direct  from 
the  inside  walls  of  Reid  Hall. 

Here  we  arc  standing  in  the  hall- 
way, and  what's  this  going  on?  A 
pajama  contest?  Miss  Anderson  in 
her  cotton  casuals  of  chartusc  and 
yellow.  Miss  Haten  with  her  strik- 
ing pink  satin.  Miss  Waterman  and 
Miss  Pasquarclla  in  their  fire  engine 
red  p-js,  and  there  is  Miss  Goldsbor- 
ough in  her — What  pajamas? 

Evie  Hamilton  walks  into  B.  Tow- 
send's  room,  "Big  feet"  steps  non- 
chanily  into  the  favorite  mouse  trap. 
Could  this  mean  that  Evie  is  a  rat?  Af- 
ter much  ado  and  careful  concentra- 
tion of  mechanical  minds  the  mouse 
trap  is  reset,  B.  T.  turns  around  to 
gab  and  absent  mindedly  backs  into 
same  trap  herself.  What  is  this,  a  rat 
race?  B.  T.'s  roommate,  Miss  Willcy, 
doesn't  notice  all  of  this  as  she  has 
her  binoculars  trained  on  the  back 
room  of  the  Theta  Chi  house  where  a 
lively  game  of  Pilch   is   in  progress. 

The  other  end  of  the  hall  is  alive 
with  camera  fiends.  Teny  KniU  is  pos- 
ing prettily  in  her  lingerie.  June  Walls 
has  struck  another  pose  but  the  theme 
is  basically  the  same. 

Poem  for  the  day — 
Suzie  had  a  kitten. 
The  kitten   liked   her  bed. 
It  stayed  there  too  long, 
Nough  said  11 

Speaking  of  beds,  Parks  and  Wa- 
terman had  quite  a  tussle  over  who 
was  going  to  sleep  on  the  third  mat- 
tress one  Saturday  night. 

Quite  a  rumpus  on  the  third  floor. 
Seems  like  Cora  Lee,  Claire,  Carol  H., 
B.  C,  P.  Anderson,  Wanita,  Delaney 
and  Sandra  got  notes  from  the  Reid 
Hall  Council  because  they  didn't 
make  their  beds. 

Jennifer  Dobbs  is  going  to  take  a 
bath.  She  is  carrying  towel,  soap, 
washrag  and  victrola.  Victrola???? 

Boo  Locker  just  emerged  from  her 
historians  with  her  favorite  saying, 
"Does  anybody  have  any  food?"  She 
and  Marilyn  Bock  are  called  "Hungry 
Incorporated."

I've  seen  and  heard  a  lot  about

long   time. 

From  what  I  hear,  everything  that 
[could  be  classified  as  unconventional 
happened  last  Saturday  night.  Every-

"Mule,"  you  really  must  be  worn 
out  after  that  long  walk  last  Sunday.

In  The  PRESSBOX 


(With  JOE  SZYMANSKI) 


At  a  recent  meeting,  the  complete  Maroon  and  Black  soccer 
iquad  elected  Rod  Ware,  Doug  Tilley,  and  Ted  Beddow  as  captains 
{or  1953,  and  listed  the  following  players  on  their  All-Opponent  soc- 
cer team  of  '52: 

Outside  Right — Regesta  (Delaware) 

Outside  Left — Brodsky  (Baltimore) 

Inside  Right — Santos  (Kings) 

Inside  Left — Jones  (Drexel) 

Center  Forward — Rostek  (Baltimore) 

Right  Half— Wilkinson  (Drexel) 

Center  Half — Bcde  (Towson) 

Left  Half— Henry  (Hopkins) 

Right  Fullback— Kinter  (Delaware) 

Left  Fullback — Maggetti  (Baltimore) 

Goalie — Siedlicki  (Baltimore) 
In  addition  to  the  All-Opponent  squad  they  also  nominated  the 
following  on  their  All  Mason-Dixon  Team  represented  by  Baiti' 
more,  Towson,  Loyola,  Western  Maryland  and  Hopkins:  Goalie— 
Siedlicki  (Baltimore),  Fullbacks — Cohn  (Hopkins),  and  Maggetti 
(Baltimore),  Halfbacks — Shessley  (Baltimore),  Bede  (Towson) 
Henry  (Hopkins),  Outside  Right — Zimmerman  (Towson),  Inside 
Right — Budnitz  (Hopkins),  Center  Forward — Rostek  (Baltimore) 
Inside  Left — Reinsfelder  (Loyola),  Outside  Left — Brodsky  (Balti^ 
more). 

Did  you  know  that  there  exists  in  soccer,  a  bowl  game  held  in 
St.  Louis,  Missouri?  This  year  one  of  the  top  flight  teams  in  the 
East,  Baltimore  University,  has  a  great  chance  to  be  chosen  for  the 
bowl  tilt,  as  indicated  by  their  past  record  of  two  straight  undefeated 
seasons.  I  can  see  no  reason  why  they  shouldn't  get  this  year's 
bid,  and  if  they  do,  here's  hoping  Coach  Cal  Ermcr  and  his  High- 
landtown  gangsters  will  bring  home  the  bacon.  If  they  don't  get 
the  bid  this  year,  they  won't  get  it  next  season  because  Washington 
hopes  to  throw  the  light  of  defeat  into  the  eyes  of  the  champions. 

John  Grim  and  Bill  Russell  concluded  their  college  careers 
against  Drexel  Tech  in  Philadelphia,  by  playing  one  of  their  finest 
games  of  the  year.  Both  displayed  good  footwork  and  will  be  miss- 
ed next  year.  Captain  Grim,  who  had  some  tough  luck  in  calling 
the  toss  of  the  coin  before  games,  is  looking  for\vard  to  brighter  ho- 
rizons in  the  field  of  business  administration,  or  if  Uncle  Sam  calls 
him,  he  might  be  seen  performing  with  All-American  Larry  Surock 
in  service  ball. 

Next  year's  competition  will  even  be  greater  than  this  year's, 
due  to  the  newly  scheduled  games  with  Roanoke,  University  of  Vir- 
ginia, Gettysburg,  Franklin  and  Marshall,  and  maybe  West  Chester. 
After  a  defeat  at  the  hands  of  Baltimore  University  Bees,  the 
Shoremen  lost  their  scoring  punch  and  ended  the  season  with  shut- 
out losses  against  Balto.  U.,  Hopkins,  and  Drexel.  But  Coach  Howie 
Nesbitt  is  looking  forward  to  a  winning  season  in  '53,  with  such  re- 
turning lettermen  as:  Captains  Ware,  Beddow  and  Tilley,  Smoot, 
Appleby,  Szymanski,  Riggin,  Hanifee,  Geissler,  Bounds,  Jennings, 
and  LaPorace.  As  Johnny  Ray  sings,  "Faith  Can  Move  Mountains," 
so  wait  till  next  year. 

It  is  hoped  that  Dick  Weller  wiH  return  next  year  to  his  inside 
right  position  instead  of  completing  his  11  credit  hours  in  summer 
school. 


Freshmen  Prospects 


,The  freshman  prospect  of  ihis  week 
is  Dick  Brockcll,  of  Elklon,  Md. 

Dick  stands  6  feet,  3</]  inches  lall 
and  tips  the  scale  at  194  pounds.  He 
aiicnded  Elkion  High  School  and 
while  there  earned  12  letters  in  four 
jporis:  soccer,  football,  basketball  and 
baseball.  In  his  freshman  year,  Dick 
earned  letters  in  soccer,  basketball, 
and  baset)all.  Instead  of  following  up 
all  three  sports,  our  promising  prospect 
switched  his  fall  interest  to  football. 
He  played  quarterback  on  the  Elk- 
'on  high  team  and  earned  3  letters 
'1  grid  sport.  Dick  averaged  26  points 
per  game  for  his  four  years  of  basket- 
ball. Baseball  is  the  (all  blonde's 
favorite  sport. 

In  his  .lenior  year  he  blasted  'out 
bciler  than  a  .500  baiting  average. 
He  hope;  to  some  day  play  major 
league  baseball,  and  the  fact  that  he 
*■«  great  confidence  in  Coach  Kibler 
's  a  baseball  coach  is  one  of  the  rea- 
'^n*  he  has  come  to  Washington. 

Dick's  main  reason  (or  coming  to 
"ic  Shore's  College  is  the  fact  that 
''e  prefers  a  small  s^ool  to  pursue 
his  college  education.  He  is  interested 
■n  Economics,  but  he  has  not  made 
"P  his  mind  in  his  choice  of  a  major 
"une  of  study. 


Hardwood 
Loop  Planned 

After    completing    such    a    fine    job. 
organizing   and   planning    the     touch 
football  iniramurals,  CIcIc  Cannone 
back  on   the  job,   this   time  handling 
intramural  basketball. 

This  court  league  is  not  scheduled 
to  begin  until  after  the  Christmas 
holidays.  However,  when  it  does  be- 
gin, the  gymnasium  will  be  available 
not  only  for  the  league  contests,  but 
for  each  team  to  practice  in.  Last 
year  the  teams  did  not  have  this  op- 
portunity, and  this  should  promote 
better,  more  organized  hardwood 
squads. 

Congratulations  are  in  order  to  Cleie 
and  to  the  three  top  teams  of  the 
football  league— East  Halt,  G.I.  Hall, 
and    KA.,    for   their   winning  spirit. 

Not  only  do  the  winners  deserve 
praise,  for  it  was  the  teams  in  the 
lower  bracket  of  the  standings  that 
kept  the  league  intact.  These  teams 
did  not  give  up  when  pitted  against 
a  strong  rival,  but  fought  to  knock 
ihem  out  of  the  top  spots, 


Samele 
Impressive 


By  John  Hughfs 

In  the  third  of  a  scries  of  scrim- 
mages, Bainbridge's  hoopstcrs  downed 
the  Sho'raen  65-51,  on  Tuesday,  Nov. 
14. 

Captain  Danny  Samele  showed  his 
usual  form,  dropping  in  21  point 
through  the  nets,  while  playing  a  fine 
floor  game.  In  the  later  stages  of  the 
game  freshman  Bob  Sullivan  looked 
very  good.  Although  he  only  scored 
two  points,  his  rebounding  work  was 
excellent. 

Coach  Edward  L.  Athey  remarked 
that  his  team  is  still  in  the  building 
stage,  and  that  there  is  a  lot  of 
work  to  be  done  before  the  team  opei 
its  regular  season  against  Bridgew 
ler  on  Saturday.  Dec.  6,  The  coach 
also  added  that  he  ha.s  no  starting 
five  and  ihat  there  will  probably  be 
ten  men  alternating  on  this  starting 
gioup.  The  first  ten  men  on  the  squad 
all    have   equal    court    abilities.    These 

II  average  around  6'1"  and  the  need 
for  a  tall  man  is  already  being  fell 
The  tallest  man  on  the  leam^  6'5" 
Frank  Ferris  who  has  t)cen  decFared 
ineligible  to  play  this  year,  as  he 
transferred  here  from  Davis-Elkins 
College. 

Under  the  watchful  eye  of  Howie 
Nesbitt,  J.V.  practice  began  last  Mon- 
day. Approximately  18  boys  reported 
for  the  squad.  Of  these,  12  will  be 
kepi.  The  J.V.  outlook  is  a  bit  bright- 
er for  the  boys  this  year,  as  they  arc 
playing  almost  as  many  games  as 
the  varsity,  including  several  road 
trips. 


Tech  Downs 
Sho'men 


The  Washington  College  soccer 
team  dosed  its  1932  season  by  losing 
to  Drexel  Tech,  20,  in  Philadelphia 
last  Saturday.  The  game,  due  to 
weather  conditions,  was  stopity  played. 
After  an  all  night  rain,  the  field  was 
virtually  a  small  lake,  and  the  situa- 
tion was  not  bettered  by  a  steady  driz- 
zle  throughout   the  contest. 

After  a  scoreless  first  half,  the 
Dragons  scored  with  two  minutes  left 
in  the  third  period.  A  shot  was  tak- 
en at  goalie  Szymanski  but  the  wet 
ball  slipped  out  of  his  hands  in  front 
of  the  goal,  and  was  immediately  con- 
verted into  a  score.  The  final  Drexel 
tally  was  made  by  their  center  for- 
ward who  kicked  the  ball  into  the 
lower  right  corner  of  the  nets  from 
12  yards  out.  This  concluded  the 
scoring,  but  the  two  teams  were  still 
fighting  spiritedly  at  the  final  whistle. 

The  Shoremen  showed  a  slow  of- 
fense as  they  took  but  two  shots  at 
the  goal  in  the  entire  game,  while 
Drexel  showed  a  smooth  agile,  give 
and  go  oSense.  Outstanding  in  a 
ing  cause  was  Phil  Riggan  who  shone 
on  both  offense  and  defense.  Coach 
Nesbitt  put  every  man  into  the  fray  in 
a  vain  effort  to  stem  the  tide.  Two 
newcomers,  who  played  their '  first 
game  in  collegiate  competition,  were 
Bill  Benhoff  and  Dick  Norris.  They 
both  played  eommendably  and  should 
contribute  to  next  year's  team.  Special 
mention  should  be  made  of  Coach 
Howie  Nesbitt,  who  whipped  his 
charges   into  a  cohesive  playing  unit. 

CONGRATULATIONS ! 


C.  U.  Edges 
Harriers 

Washington's  crosscountry  squad 
ended  its  dual  meet  program  last 
week,  by  bowing  to  Catholic  Universi- 
ty. 27  to  28. 

Both  C.U.  and  the  Shoremen  had 
beaten  Gallaudet  College  by  identical 
scores  of  21  to  34,  and  a  close  race 
between  the  Cardinals  and  the  Sho'- 
inen  was  anticipated  by     both     team 

aches. 

Mickey  DiMaggio  Aossed  the  finish 
line  first,  running  the  3.6  mile  course 
19  minutes,  55  seconds,  Lou  Buck- 
ley was  second  in  20.04.  The  follow- 
ing Sho'  harriers  finished  seventh, 
eighth,  and  eleventh:  Ells  Boyd,  Ber- 
nie  Thomas,  and  George  Eichelberger. 

Favo,  Brennan  and  Schmidt,  of  C.U., 
broke  from  ihe  stariiiig  line  like  shou 
from  a  cannon  and  ran  the  first 
half-mile  in  record  lime.  At  the  1.8 
mile  mark,  DiMaggio  and  Buckley 
sirided  past  the  tiring  Rcdbirds  and 
pushed  them  lo  third,  fourth,  and  fifth 
positions  where  they  finished  the  race. 

Coach  Ed  Athey's  thinclads  have 
been  preping  this  week  for  the  an- 
nual Mason-Dixon  Cross-Country 
Championship  which  will  be  held 
Saturday,  November  22,  at  Gallaudet 
College.  Fifteen  schools  will  be  rep- 
resented in  the  colorful  festival  which 
is  run  over  the  thickly  wooded  4  mile 
Gallaudet  College  course. 


The  sports  staff  of  the  ELM  wishes 
to  express  its  sincercst  congratula- 
tions to  Coach  Edward  L.  Athey  of 
Ihe  Athletic  Department,  for  plan- 
ning and  producing  such  a  fine  Ma- 
son-Dixon Basketball  Clinic  last  Sat- 
urday. 


Cagers  Show 
Good  Attittide 

Coach  Al  Barthelme  is  pleased 
with  the  attitude  and  performance 
of  the  University  of  Baltimore  bas- 
ketball squad  in  prc'season  scrim- 
mages. 

The  Bees  are  young  and  like  to 
run  but  the  lack  of  experience  does 
not  dull  their  confidence.  Gi|  Felter 
is  the  only  senior  on  the  team. 

Barthelme  said  that  his  f>oys  think 
that  they  can  repeat  as  Mason-Dixon 
champs.  They  won  last  year  with  a' 
squad  of  sophomores  and  freshmmen. 

With  a  week  of  practice  to  go,  the 
Bees  are  hitting  the  basket  with  con- 
sistency. Barthelme  thinks  that  the 
advanced  shooting  is  a  sign  that  they 
isrill  probably  do  more  scoring  than 
last  year. 

Welsh  led  the  Bees  in  assists  last 
season  and  is  a  valuable  man  in 
Barthelme's  control  style  of  basketball 
He   is  a  good   backboard  man. 


Thetas  Bow,  18-13 
The  accurate  passing  of  Slump 
Gardner  and  Al  Zalo$ki,  plus  the 
traordinary  pass  receiving  of  Harold 
While,  enabled  Kappa  Alpha  to  an- 
nex the  1952  intramural  fraternity 
crown. 

White's  performance,  snagging  a 
fourth  quarter  pass  just  inside  the 
end  zone,  spelled  the  difference  for 
the  K.A.'s  as  Thcia's  Randy  Hamell 
sparked  a  late  drive  which  almost  up- 
set   the  apple-cart. 

The  K.A.'  "6"  scored  first,  then 
Theia  led  7-(j  and  the  half  ended. 
Zaloski  scored  his  second  touchdown 
and  then  White  made  it  18  lo  7.  But 
the  fast  stepping  Bob  Lipsiiz,plus  the 
cool  play  of  Rod  Ware,  put  the  los- 
ers back  in  ihe  game  with  only  2 
minutes  remaining.  They  regained 
possession  of  the  ball,  but  time  ran 
out  and  a  new  champion  was  crown- 
ed. 

G.I.  vs.  East  HaJl 
By  finishing  one-two  in  the  league 
standings  the  East  Hall  and  G.I. 
elevens  will  clash  Monday  afternoon 
for  the  league  championship,  The 
Snakes  will  carry  a  clean  slate  of  7-0 
10  Monday's  tiile-go,  while  the  only 
blemish  on  G.f.'s  record  in  seven 
games  is  a  one-touchdown  loss  to  East 
Hall  last  month.  G.I.  downed  Middle 
Hall,  20  to  9  to  secure  a  playoff  berth. 
Monday's  game  should  be  a  toss- 
up  as  far  as  picking  a  winner  goes. 
as  the  previous  meeting  between  the 
two  teams  resulted  in  the  East  Halt- 
ers pulling  out  an  18-13  decision,  Both 
teams  relied  mainly  on  a  strong  air 
attack  in  their  first  crack  at  each  other, 
while  G.I.'s  Ronnie  Sisk  and  East 
Halls  John  Wilson  handled  the  pass- 

Despite  the  East  Hall-G.I.  finish 
in  the  league,  K.A,  and  Foxwell  Hall 
also  made  strong  bids  for  the  touch 
football  crown  at  the  Shore  College, 
while  Somerset,  Theia  Chi.  Lambda 
Chi  and  Middle  Hall  finished  in  a 
spirited  style  of  play. 

Cleie  Cannone,  director  of  the 
league,  announced  that  an  All-Star 
team  would  be  picked  from  the  eight 
teams  entered  in  the  grid  loop.  The 
choices  for  such  a  squad  will  be 
available  for  the  next  issue  of  the 
ELM.

MD  Court  Clinic  Held  On  Shore 


The  annual  Mason-Dixon  Confer- 
ence Basketball  Clinic  was  held  at 
the  Chestertown  High  School  gym- 
nasium,  Chestertown.  Md.,  last  Sat- 
urday, Noveml)er  15. 

Included  in  the  three  hour  pro- 
gram were  talks  and  demonstrations 
by  Coaches  ■'Lefty"  Reitz  of  Loyola 
College.  Al  Barthleme  of  Baltimore 
University.  Earl  Kilhan  of  Towson 
Teachers,  and  Ed  Athey  of  Washing- 
ton College. 

Official  interpretation  of  rules  and 
infraction  of  rules  of  the  game  were 
discu5.scd  and  demonstrated  by  Mr. 
Dallas  Shiriey,  President  of  the  Nat'l 
Board  of  Basketball  Ofiicials. 

The  showing  of  a  film  entitled, 
"King  Basketball."  concluded  the 
clinic  which  was  attended  by  coach- 
es and  players  from  Baltimore,  Wash- 
ington, Delaware,  and  the  Eastern 
Shore  of  Md, 

The  following  is  a  list  of  schools 
and  colleges  represented:  Cordova 
High.  Chestertown  High,  Centrcville 
High,  Sievcnsville,  Sudlersville.  Piits- 
ville,  Wicomico,  Federalsburg,  Middle- 
town,  Denton,  Ccditon,  Millslwro, 
Wesley  Jr.  College,  Washington  Col- 
lege. Loyola  College.  Towson  Stale 
Teachers  College,  and  Baltimore  Uni- 
versity. 

Despite  the  poor  weather  condi- 
tions, the  spectator  interest  was  high 
and  everyone  was  pleased  with  the 
clinic. 


Coach  Reitz  started  the  program 
rolling  by  talking  and  demonstrating 
individual  offense,  particularly  empha- 
sizing ihe  variety  of  shots  a  player 
takes  in  a  game. 

Al  Barthleme.  assisted  by  his  Bal- 
timore University  team,  spoke  and 
demonstrated  the  aitack  on  the  zone 
defense,  which  was  very  effective  and 
enlightening. 

Coach  Athey  and  his  squad  gave 
an  exhibition  of  individual  defense, 
stressing  position  and  stance,  front 
line  play,  the  switch,  and  defense  at 
the  post. 

Earl  Killian,  using  the  Sho'  team, 
set  up  several  court  drills  and  out  of 
bounds  plays. 

Of  particular  note  in  the  talk  by 
Mr.  Shirley  was  the  new  "one  and 
one  foul  shoi  rule."  If  a  player  is 
fouled  and  is  not  in  Ihe  act  of  shoot- 
ing, he  gets  his  regular  one  shot  at 
the  foul  line.  However,  if  he  misses 
this  shot,  he  is  given  another  chance 
to  convert  a  score  by  another  foul 
try.  This  is  the  "one  and  one  ruling," 

No  longer  will  the  Baltimore  Bees 
be  able  to  play  a  possession  style  of 
ball  by  waving  their  foul  shots  during 
the  entire  game.  The  rule  states  that 
a  foul  shot  must  be  taken  now,  and 
cannot  be  taken  out  of  bounds  until 
the  late  moments  of  the  contest.

SATURDAY,  NOVEMBER  22,  1952 


Dr.  Brooks  Anderson: 

Antiques  and  Sociology 


One  of  ihc  less  pre- possessing, 
most  interesting  new  [aculiy  members 
on  campus  lliis  year  is  Dr.  Brooks 
Anderson,  professor  of  sociology  and 
head  of  [he  economics  and  sociology 
dcpaiimeni.  Dr.  Andcreon  has  mi- 
grated  to  W.C.  fiom  Albany.  New 
York.  He  is  no  stranger  to  ihe  Eastern 
Shore,  however,  for  lie  received  his 
iindevgraduatc  degree  from  St.  John's 
in  nearby  Annapolis.  .After  receiving 
his  B.\.  he  suidied  for  his  doctorate 
at  Columbia,  and  ivas  awarded  a 
Ph.D-  in  194.i. 

Dr.  .\nderson  first  taught  at  West- 
niinsier  College  in  Salt  Lake  City,  and 
siiue  then  has  seen  duly  ai  Winthrop 
College  in  South  Sarolina,  Davidson 
College  in  North  Carolina,  and  rnost 
recenilv  at  Marictia  College  in  Ohio. 
.After  all  this  travelling,  however,  he 
finds  Washington  College's  location  a 
welcome  convenience — his  f>wn  people 
live  in  Baltimore  and  Mrs,  Ander- 
son's branch  of  the  family  arc  in 
North  Carolina,  making  Chcsicrtown 
an    easy    compromise. 

Speaking    of     Mrs.     Anderson,      she 


-she 


has  her  own  lies  in  Chcsiertown- 
teaches  the  fourth  and  fifth  grades  a 
the  elementary  school  here.  They  live 
on  College  Avenue,  within  noise  range 
of  Foxwell.  and  in  a  position  to  ccn- 
ior  the  Aiheys"  television  program  ef- 
fectively. The  Atheys'  tasie  in  TV  has 
improved  marvelously  since  Septem- 
ber, it  is  reported. 

The  \ndei-sons  share  a  common  in- 
terest in  antiques,  which  Dr.  Ander- 
son especially  enjoys  collecting  and 
refinishing.  He  also  likes  gardening, 
boating,  and  crabbing — he  is  in  the 
right   part   of   the  country. 

The  new  professor  thinks  that  Ches- 
terlown  is  just  "pleasantly  isolated", 
and  really  likes  W.C.  His  students 
like  him.  loo.  and  the  way  his  dry 
sense  of  humor  enlivens  his  sociology 
clas.ses.  However,  he  believes  ihcre  is 
almost  loo  much  social  life  at  school 
—maybe  he  hasn't  heard  how  studies 
can  interfere  with  our  education, 

.At  any  raie_  we  like  the  new  man 
haunting  the  halls  of  Ferguson,  and 
hope  he's  around   for  years  to  come. 


Canterbury 
Hears  Dean 

1  he  Very  Reverend  James  O.  Pike, 
dean  of  the  cathedral  of  St.  John 
ilie  Divine,  New  York  City_  was  ih? 
guest  speaker  ai  the  home  of  Judge 
and  Mrs.  Collins  this  past  Wednesday 
evening,  November  I9ih.  Several 
townspeople,  faculty  members,  and 
students  aiiendcd,  at  Ihe  invitation 
of  Russell  Gale. 

Dean  Pike  elaborated  on  the  various 
perspectives  that  people  hold  towards 
religion.  The  basis  of  his  talk  involved 
the  humanistic  and  materialistic  ap- 
proach 10  religion.  Of  specific  im- 
portance were  his  staiemenis  on  Marx- 
i.sm  and  the  Kinsey  Report  and  how 
they  differ  from  the  average  per- 
spective  of   religion- 

Thc  next  meeting  of  the  Canter- 
bury Club  will  be  held  at  Emmanuel 
Episcopal  Church  at  .^i:00  p.m.  on  Sun-

Holy  Communion   service. 


Behind  The  Curtain ...  Or 
"The  Week  Of  The  Play" 


■What  a  week-endl"  Vc*.  everyone 
reallv  had  a  great  time.  No,  not  too 
many  people  on  campus  over  Satur- 
day and  Sunday,  but  we  ogl  a  pretty 
good  Stan  on  the  set.  Oh  sure,  we'll 
have  it  done  by  technical  rehearsal  ,  .  . 

Hey,  b  this  color  too  bright  for 
(he  walls.  You're  going  to  use  thai:- 
It's  terrible.  I'll  ask  Mrs.  Opgrande 
ihcn  if  you  don't  like  it.  She'l  know 
how  it  will  look  .  .  .  .  ,  she  says  oi.. 
My  gosh,  it  sure  goes  on  bright,  doesn't 
it.  Oh  well,  maybe  it  won't  drj-  ihat 
■way. 

That  sofa  just  won't  do.  i'tn  afraid 
you'll  have  to  get  another  one.  The 
"color  is  bad  and  ii  sinks  too  low.  The 
cast  just  can't  seem  to  get  up  out  of 
iL  Try  Somerset.  They  might  have 
one  around  somewhere.  Those  win- 
dows jusi  have  to  get  painted.  All  you 
have  is  enamel!  That's  too  shiny  for 
leaded  glass.  Send  George  downtown 
.....  ves  and  here's  a  lisi  of  some 
other  siufT  we  need.  Just  charge  it 
....  we  have  lots  of  moneyl  I  can't 
find  any  brushes.  Oh.  this  darn  paint 
is  getting  all  over  everything  but  the 
windows. 

Where's  that  pri^  man?  We  need 
twelve  more  glasses.  1  guess  you'll 
have  to  gei  them  at  the  dime  store. 
No  ,  .  .  .  We  can't  aflord  two  cui  glass 
decanters.  And  they  don'i  make  the 
cheap  ones.  Try  to  borrow  some, 
.And  pick  up  that  waier  botlle  from 
the  library.  Will  you  please  get  off 
this  stage  if  you're  not  doing  any- 
thing. The  cast  isn't  supposed  to  he 
up  here  anyway.  You  don't  come  on 
till  8:30.  Yes,  we'll  have  your  props 
(or  you  .  .  .  they're  around  here  some- 
where. 

How  are  the  tickets  coming?  You 
cant  find  row  K,  That's  Thursday 
you're  looking  at.  dupe!  Are 
color  blind?  No  wonder.  Who  filled 
in  this  chart  anyivay.  They  sure  did 
get  things  fouled  up.  I  wonder  il 
has    paid    tor    these    or      is    going 


Watch   that  box^  the   tops  coming  off 

and   all    the   change  will   he     on   the 

Boor.    No.    first    row    in    the    balcony 

been  sold  ....  sorry.  Maybe  we 

could  interest  you  in  some  side  seats. 

Here  comes  part  of  the  cast.  Have 

you    got    those    lights   fixed   yet?   Not 

that  one,  try  a  blue  filter  on  it.  Makes 

ie   walls   look   funny.     What   in   the 

orld  happened  to  the  make-up?  Oh. 

well,  these  rehearsals  are  just  for  the 

ts  and   lines  anyhow.   If  this  goes 

right  111  be  amazed.  Hey.  you  for- 

to  turn  off  the  house  lights.  Are 

you    going    to    leave    them    on    during 

:he    whole   performance? 

Now  cast  ....  there's  a  reviewer 
in  the  audience  tonight.  Be  on  your 
toes.  You  can't  find  what?  No  socks. 
Quick,  the  prop  man.  get  him  some 
socks,  yes,  size  II.  No,  that  sofa  is  too 
big  for  the  stage,  we'll  just  have  to 
;  another  one.  The  cast  doesn't 
have  room  to  walk.  Try  East  Hall  this 
lime.  That  fire-place.  Honestly,  what 
did  you  do  to  it?  I'll  bet  you  changed 
your  mind  about  6  times  before 
Thursday.  It  looks  freakish.  When 
you  going  to  finish  those  doors? 
They  will  really  look  good  to  the  re- 
iewer  that  way.  Thursday  afternoon? 
)h  well,  jusi  so  ifs  ready  by  8:30  1 
guess   we'll   be  all   right. 

The    choir    is    g"ing    to    sing    here? 


Ye  gadsl  Yes,  we  can  move  the  stuff 
back.  Be  careful  not  to  punch  any 
holes  in  the  walls.  They  break  easy. 
Thursday  afternoon,  stage  crew.  Eve- 
ryone will  have  to  f>e  here.  Light  re- 
hearsal  at   6:30,  Good   luck! 

The  clip  for  the  gun  is  gone!  We 
have  exactly  8  hours  until  that  cur- 
tain goes  up.  Yes,  get  a  car.  You'll 
have  to  get  to  .Annapolis  and  back 
by  G:30,  No,  I'll  write  a  check.  How 
much!  Just  for  a  gunt  Don't  run  off 
the  bridge  for  heaven's  sake.  I  wonder 
what  will  happen  nexil 

That  rug  is  just  too  bright.  Try 
the  sororities.  They  all  have  rugs. 
But,  it's  pouring  rain  ....  we'll  be 
drenched.  "The  show  must  go  on." 
Now  ....  thai  doesn't  look  half  bad. 
Do  you  mind  if  I  drive  a  tack  or  two 
through  this?  Make  sure  the  outside 
lights  are  on  tonight  ....  and  get 
me  a  table  from  somewhere.  Make- 
up at  6:30?  O.K.  Ill  check  with  you 
down  there.  He  hasn't  turned  in  his 
tickets  yet.  I  never  saw  time  go  so  fast. 
Seems  like  we  should  be  starling  the 
rehearsals  ....  oh  well,  it's  here. 
Yes.  and  before  you  know  it,  it's  all 


It  couldn't  be  8:S0.  I'r 
you  remember  your  cues?  I  lost 
book.  Well,  here  goes.  Act  I  is  or 
way.    Boy.  will   I  steep    tonight!

Out  of  Miss  Christie's  vapid  leads. 
Betty  Ayrcp  and  Don  Steynen  created 
likeable  characters — no  mean  achieve- 
ment, Althougli  Mr.  Steynen  migbt 
have  been  a  little  more  forceful  at 
times,  he  captured  admirably  the  ap- 
propriate nonchalance,  It  was  not 
Miss  Ayrcs'  fault  that  at  one  crucial 
point  her  role  is  impossible  to  play. 
Miss  Christie  having  forgotten  that 
the  spectator  at  a  play,  unlike  the 
reader  of  a  novel,  is  forced  to  watch 
the  person  spoken  to,  as  well  as  the 
speaking.  Miss  -Ayers  was  asked 
to  cower  before  a  man  against  whom 
she  might  have  been  figured  to  score 
a  first-round  knockout.  Otherwise,  she 
played  well,  especially  in  her  range 
of  facial  expression, 

.Although  Pete  Burbage  and  Sue 
Stalling  scored  at  times,  each  was  too 
■igid.  Mr.  Btubagc  went  from  extreme 
inderplaying  to  extreme  overplaying, 
ind  although  he  sometimes  did  the 
former   well,   one   felt    the   lack   of   a 

ddlc  register.  Effective  at  first  in 
projecting  a  personality  outside  of  her 
own.  Miss  Stalling  eventually  wore  us 
down  with  her  silent-movie  glances 
and  her  pauses  beyond  the  point  of 
ispense.  She  simply  left  her  part  in 
[he  oven  too  long. 

The  play  was  directed  by  El  Dryden 
ind  Jimmy  Metcalf,  who  composed 
the  scenes  well  and  saw  to  it  that  one 
could  watch  even  actors  in  the  back- 
ind  with  interest,  while  a  partic- 
ly  effective  set  was  constructed 
under  the  supervision  of  Spcnce  Lat- 
ham.

Twas  three  week:*  before  Chrisunas, 

When  in  the  Snack  Bar 

The  shouts  that  were  given, 

Were  heard  near  and  far. 

For  up  on  the  bulletin  board  I  could  we 

The  scheduled  e.xanis,  just  as  pbin  as  could  be. 

What  a  way  to  start  Christmas. 

I  said  with  a  sigh, 

Registrations  —  exams. 

Oh  —  they'll  never  say  die. 

And  we'll  never  get  all  this  stuff  finished  in  time 

With  assembly,  bazaars  and  Stunt  Night  all  in  line. 

All  through  that  short  week 

Many  fast  plans  were  made 

And  now  for  my  nickel 

"White  Christmas"  was  played. 

The  shopping  lists  mounted  as  budgets  were  scorned 

And  needles  were  clicking  as  argylcs  were  formed. 

'Twas  two  weeks  before  Christmas 

.^nd  in  old  C-town  ^  * 

Pi-arr  should  have  been  reigning 

But  ihaos  was  found 

Instead  of  the  ustial  cheer  and  great  job, 

Bkiehooks  were  facing  each  girl  and  each  boy. 

But  who  cares  about  bluebooks 

When  Christmas  is  near! 

The  students  were  anxious 

To  sliow  they'd  no  fear. 

So  up  on  the  ronftoj)  the  Lambda's  did  go 

To  ])ut  up  a  Santa  with  beard  white  as  snow. 

And  next  door,  the  Thelas  in  lighted'array 

Were  ready  to  welcome 

The  spirit  so  gay. 

And  in  yellow  and  blue  and  in  green  and  in  red 

Season's  greetings  to  everyone  all  Phi  Sigs  said. 

And  on  the  last  house 

Of  Fraternity  row. 

The  K.A.'s  were  displaying 

A  red  Yuletide  bow. 

\nd  in  evei->;  sorority  room  on  the  hill 

Bricjht  lighted  Christmas  trees,  corners  did  fiU. 

\  week  full  of  parties. 

A  wri-krulloffun.     ■ 

A  niglit  nut  for  freshmen 

V.iratinn  begun, 

\nd  as  nld  friends  departed  the  Mhnol  nn  the  Shore, 

They  left  with  the  by-word  "New  Year's^Baltimore!' 

'Twas  the  night  before  Christmas 

\nd  ill  Chestcrtown 

Not  a  creature  was  stirring 

There  wasn't  a  sound. 

And  as  over  the  old  "Sacred  L"  Santa  flew 

He  inutlered  those  words  that  were  heard  by  a  few  — 

"Merry  Christmas  to  all  at  old  W.C. 

And  a  New  Yfar  tbat'.s  happy  as  happy  can  Ix-!"

THERE  HAD  TO  BE  A  CHRISTMAS 

Sotf.  Rrjnhitrfi  ih'OUQh  the  couHeiy  of  the  Neu-  York  Tiines— 
/Am  rditoriol  fipl'cared  in  thai  pafjfr  oil  Chrhtmas  Day.  1948.  The 
ELM  ^taff  hopfi  that  thr  iratint  find  fl>  much  thoiii;ht  ptovokms 
matrrial  in  it  a\   thry  did. 

There  had  to  br  a  Christmas,  for  this  day  meets  a  .deep  n- .  J 
in  human  nature.  It  is  true  that  some  generations  of  the  Christian 
era.  so  the  old  historians  ttll  u.s.  went  by  before  this  need  was  recog- 
nized: and  after  that  it  look  a  long  lime  for  the  observance  to  trrnv 
and  spread:  and  after  that  it  took  a  long  time  for  it  to  take  the  form 
it  has  today.  Indeed,  a  gnat  deal  that, we  now  associate  with  Christ- 
mas was  invented,  if  that  is  the  right  word,  in^uite  modern  limes. 
Christmas  owes  much  to  the  carols  of  the  fifteenth  century  and  lat- 
er: to  Charles  Dickens;  to  Clement  Clarke  Moore,  who  wrote  his 
famous  poem  just  a  century  and  a  quarter  ago.  and  to  other  writers 
not  so  long  past 

There  had  to  be  a  Christmas.  Mankind,  dwelling  in  a  world 
iften  at  war  and  tormented  by  the  hatreds  which  cause  war,  and 
arc  caused  by  war.  longed  and  still  longs  for  peace  and  gcx)d-will. 
Man  is  a  selfish  animal,  but  he  loves  to  give;  man  is  a  quarrelsome 
animal,  but  he  has  his  kindly  impulses,  man  is  an  animal  in  short, 
but  that  is  not  all  there  is  to  him;  man  is  a  creature  of  dreams  and 
he  dream-:  of  a  gentler  and  sweeter  life  than  the  one  he  ordinarily 
lives. 

There  had  to  be  a  Christmas.  The  spirit  of  a  solemn  religious 
festival  became  gay  as  it  spread  into  people's  homes.  It  was  such 
a  beautiful  festival,  so -appealing  in  its  reassertidn  of  the  hopeful- 
ness, tenderness  and  compassion  tjiat  came  out  of  Nazareth  so 
long  ago.  that  its  influence  went  beyond  the  followers  of  any  one 
religion.  The  Christmas  tree,  the  candles,  the  carols,  mean  some- 
(hing  to  everyone. 

There  had  to  be  a  Christmas.  The  goodness  in  man  demands 
an  occasion  when  it  can  confess  itself  and  not  be  abashed.  We 
have  to  believe  in  that  goodness,  even  when  we  look  about  the  earth 
and  see  so  many  evidences  of  weakness,  wickedness  and  cruelty; 
even  when  we  look  into  our  own  hearts.  Knowing  how  imperfect 
we  ourselves  are.  each  of  us  is  the  more  driven,  on  this  day.  to  be 
charitable  toward  others.  If  we  have  the  vision  of  a  kindlier  world, 
so  may  they;  if  they  have,  so  may  we. 

There  had  to  be  a  Christmas.    There  will  be  a  Christmas  to 
the  end  of  human   time  on   this  great  globe.     Neither  laws,  nor 
armies,  nor  strange  doctrines  can  destroy  it.  There  has  to  be 
yearning  for  it — for  the  generosity  and  self-forgetfulness  for  which 
it  stands — is  implanted  in  us. 

Only  the  foolish  and  the  cynical  and  the  two  are  so  often  one 
— will  scrofT  because  there  is  only  one  Christmas  in  a  year.  The 
good-will  of  this  day  touches  other  days.  It  has  a  conquering  pow- 
er of  its  own.  Do\vn  the  long  centuries  to  come,  withthe  majestic 
turnings  of  many  years,  with  the  slow  comings  and  goings  of  the 
•un.  it  will  endure.

Courtmen  Defeat  C.  U.;  Seek  Third  Win  Tonight 


In  The  PRESSB©^ 

With  Hugh  Delano 


Coach  Ed  Athcy's  Washington  College  cagers,  with  two  games 

Irc.idy  under  their  belt,  take  the  floor  tonight  against  the  Ahimni 

the  high  school  court  in  what  promises  to  be  cjuite  a  game,  as 

Alumni  arc  expected  to  present  a  fairly  strong  team. 

Tonight's  court  clash  takes  on  more  significance  then  just  an- 
,ilirr  one  of  those  extiibitions  with  a  few  former  basketball  players 
Washington  College.  The  Alumni  figure  to  make  things  a 
jtt!r  rough  for  the  '52-'53  edition  of  the  Shore  quintet,  nahiely 
hrough  one  Nick  ScalHon. 

Srallion,  of  course,  will  be  the  big  attraction  in  this  evening's 
lit  An  entire  column  could  be  written  on  the  feats  of  Mr.  Scal- 
jon  during  his  four-year  tenure  here,  but  suffice  to  say,  he  ranked 
rhaps  the  best  player  to  come  out  of  the  Eastern  Shore  area, 
oiling  up  2.095  points  in  four  years,  for  a  classy  24.6  average. 

Along  with  Scallion,  now  a  lieutenant  in  the  Marine  Corps 
md  stationed  at  Quantico,  the  Alumni  boast  several  other  former 
lardwood  aces  in  Kenny  Sullivan,  ('52);  Bernie  Rudo.  ('.'J2):  Jack 
jniiih,  ('32);  Bill  Brogan.  ("52):  Bob  Johnson.  ('S2);  Jack  Burke. 
'491;  and  Walt  Romanition,  ['48). 

Sullivan,  also  in  the  Marines  and  at  Quantico,  is  the  brother 
if  fn-shman  Bob  Sullivan  and  is  a  threat  from  outside  as  well  as 
wing  a  strong  rebounder.  Smith,  a  6'  3"  pivotman,  and  Johnson 
ind  Brogan.  a  pair  of  6'  2"  operators,  give  the  Alumni  the  needed 
idght.  Romanition  is  currently  teaching  at  Stcvcnsville  High  and 
jptained  the  varsity  here  in  1948.  while  Burke  is  coaching  basket- 
all  at  CrKfield  High. 

Points,  rather  than  time,  will  determine  the  length  of  the  game 
This  system  is  a  new  innovrftion  aimed  at  solving  the  problem  of 
tolling  which  prevails  in  modem-day  basketball.  Under  this 
m  to 'be  used  in  tonight's  contest,  eighty  points  will  decide  the 
jame  and  forty  points  will  constitute  the  first  half.

with  a  r>9-l8  win  over  the  Bvidgcwa- 
irt  Eagles,  in  a  Mason-Uixon  confer, 
encc  title. 

I  he  Sho'nicn  took  an  early  lead. 
H4  after  four  minutes  of.  play,  and 
Slaved   in    fiimi    the  rest  of  Hie  game. 

Scoring  honors  for  the  night  went 
lo  Ilridgewatc^'s  little  Jim  Uncrback 
with  18  points.  Ihe  pint  sizc'd  for- 
ward was  the  main  factor  in  the 
leamv  showing. 

As  for  the  AllRvmen.  Ca[)l.  Dan 
Samele  dropped  in  Iti  points  on  live 
held  goals  and  s\\  free  throws.  Right 
[  behind  Samele  were  Jack  Bcigen 
Willi  1 1.  and  Ralph  Lewis  with  9. 
Laws,  a  frcshmah.  Itmked  iilipie^jivc 
Old  should  be  an  a.ssei  in  the  com- 
ing games.  Dick  Hrockell.  freshman 
center,  although  scoring  only  five 
poinis,  played  a  great  game  under 
lioih    boards. 

Bridgcwaicr  setded  down  in  (he 
Mcond  half  and  oiyscoitd  ns  in  the 
litst  two  (inarters,  I5-1I  and  1'>-I2. 
I  hey  had  several  bad  breaks  and  had 
Iheir  shooting  been  a  -little  more 
ron<i,sieni  they  might  have  overtaken 
the  Shore  college.  *    '  ■ 

While  the  Eaglcs  were  playing  this 
steady  brand  of  ball.  Washington 
played  a  fast  breaking  game,  with 
Bergen.  Tilley.  Edwards  and  Samele 
Jiaving  (be  way. 

C>a(h  .Aihey's  /one  defense  proved 
very  effcctis'e  against  the  southern 
team,  a^j  the  Shoremen  successfully 
.broke  up  a  similar  ,/onc  set  up  by  the 
Eaglcs; 

This  was  Bridgewater's  second  Ma- 
'son-Dixnn  loss,  being  beaten  by  Gal-

Seveial  business  organisations  have 
indicated  tlicir  interest  in  securing 
Washington  College  seniors  for  train- 
ing programs  in  their  organisations, , 
looking  forward  to  the  individual  | 
becoming  a  junior  executive  in  the  I 
organization.  These  positions  will  not 
pnkvide  the  same  financial  returr 
the  individual  might  secure  in 
tain  types  of  employment,  but  in  the 
final  analysis  it  is  *  question  of 
whether  the  individlial  wishes  to  en 
tcr  upon  a  rareer  in  which  growth 
and  advancement  is  assured  01 
whether  he  wants  a  job  with  higli 
iuilial  financial  reiitrns.  Seniors 
should  consider  carefully  the  lype  of 
business  organization  with  which  they 
affiliate  in  terms  of  whether  the  po- 
sition has  the  possibility  for  a  career 
or  is  merely  a  job. 

Firms  yvhich  have  indicated  their 
interest  in  Washington  College  ,sen- 
iors  are — The  Proctor  and  Gamble 
Company,  Montgomci-y  Ward  and 
Aluomingdalc  Brothers.  Other  busi- 
ness organizations  will,  no  doubt, 
contact  the  college  l>eforc  the  close 
of  ihc  year. 

Seniors  who  are  interested  in  the 
opjiorttinities  offered  by  any  o[  the 
above  firms  arc  urged  to  check,  on  the 
information  which  is  available  in  the 
Dean's  office.  A  copy  of  CAREER,  a 
guide  lor  business  opportunities,  is 
available    for   examination. 


All  students  halving  guests  in  1 
dining  hall  should  notify  the  dictiij 
in  advance  and  arrange  to  pay  j,, 
the  meals.  Ihc  prices  arc:  -10  cenu 
breakfast;  .10  cents,  lunch;  and  S|(jf 
for  dinner.  It  is  hoped  that  all  m,,

New  Spring  Vacation 

This  year  our  spring  vacation 
will  begin  noon  M-.u-eh  Slst  and 
end  8:15  March  30th,  even

Ea.sler.  For  Easter,  stndeni.s  will 
have  olf  Good  Friday,  Saturday 
and  Sunday,  April  3,  4  and  5. 


On  January  15  the  students  of  Washington  College  voted  to 
accept  the  proposed  constitution  for  student  government.  The  con- 
stitution states  that  "this  constitution  shall  be  construed  as  going  in- 
to effect  immediately  upon  ratification",  but  since  semester  ex- 
aminations are  being  given  the  week  of  January  19  -  January  26. 
the  elections  of  officers  and  class  representatives  arc  being  deferred 
until  the  early  part  of  the  second  semester.  Procedure  for  the  elec- 
tions will  be  announced  by  Bruce  McKie,  chairman  of  the  Com-

Passed  by  a  margin  of  twenty  votes  the  constitution  will  put  in- 
to effect  the  first  .student  government  at  the  Shore  College  since  be- 
fore World  War  II.  Student  activities  since  that  time  have  been 
directed   by  Omicron  Delta  Kappa,  national   honorary  fraternity. 

The  present  constitution  is  a  revised  edition  of  the  one  that  was 
rejected  by  the  students  last  May.  At  that  time  facts  showed  that 
there  was  a  definite  interest  in  student  government  so  a  committee, 
composed  of  four  representatives  from  each  class,  resumed  work 
on  the  document  this  fall. 

Statistics  show  that  191  votes  were  cast  in  favo'r  of  the  consti- 
tution and  171  against  it.  The  number  required  for  passage  was  171. 


Mount  Vernon  To  Produce 
Oscar  Wilde's  ^'Earnest" 


The  Mount  Vernon  Literary  St^ 
ciety  has  begun  work  on  Oscar  Wilde's 
amusing  classic  of  superficiality,  "Tlie 
Importance  of  Being  Earnest."  This 
production  will  not  be  in  the  conven- 
tional media  of  Proscenium  stage,  but 
in  the  more  natural  form  of  "Thea- 
tre in  the  Round." 

Instead  of  the  whole  audience  sit- 
ting on  one  side  of  the  action  as  if  it 
were  looking  through  the  wall,  The 
"Theatre  in  the  Round"  audiente 
sits  on  all  sides  of  the  stage  as  i(  il 
were  in  the  room  where  the  action  is 
taking  place.  Instead  of  a  curtain, 
there  is  a  dimming  of  the  lights.  As 
the  lights  dim  on  again,  the  action 
begins. 

This  media  is  (ompTraii\eI)  new 
in  usage  as  the  idea  h±-,  only  bctrun 
its  popularity  climb  in  the  past  ten 
years.  In  the  pa\l  hit  year-,  colleges

"Silver  Cord' 


Ihe  Washington  Players  have  com- 
pleted casting  for  their  midwinter 
production,  "The  Silver  Cord",  a 
modern  psychological  drama  by  Sid 
ney  Howard.  The  presentation  will 
take  place  on  the  5th  and  6th  ol 
March. 

Those  selected  for  the  cast  of  six 
were-  Joanne  Cusaik,  playing  the 
lead  of  Mrs,  Phelps,  a  woman  who  is 
devoted  to  her  two  sons  and  eupccis 
the  same  from  them,  Don  Steynen,  as 
her  eldest  son  who  manages  to  cs- 
caiie  her  domination,  and  Patricia 
Neighbor  as  his  scientist- wife.  The 
younger  son  will  be  played  by  Ken 
Murray  and  his  fiance  by  Barbara 
Jones,  The  maid  role  has  been  taken 
by  Lynn  Diana.  ' 

1  his  will  he  the  second  production 
of  the  year  for  the  Players,  the  first 
being  'Ten  Little  Indians."  the  mys- 
tery comedy,  and  the  ihird  produc- 
tion, the  annual  spring  comedy,  ft 
is  the  purpose  of  the  theatrical  group 
lo  create  a  contrast  of  drama  during 
the   year  with    their  selections. 

The  stoiy  of  the  Silver  Cord  evolves 
around  a  mother  who  tries  to  domi- 
nate her  two  sons.  The-  eldest  son, 
who  has  married  in  Europe  brings 
his  new  wife  home  to  meet  the 
mother.  The  wife  immediately  senses 
the  situation  of  domination  and  man- 
ages to  save  her  husband.  The  young- 
er son  however,  falls  completely  un- 
der his  mother's  spell  and  through 
her  persuasion  manages  to  lose  his 
fiance  and  his  ambitions  to  see  life 
for  himself. 

The  play  is  being  directed  by  Jack 
Darnels  who  appeared  in  the  last 
present  mon  "Ten  Little  Indians," 
and  Jane  Biadley,  a  long  standing 
niember  of  the  drama  group.  Advisor

A  PROBLEM 

It  has  been  the  policy  of  the  ELM  during  the  past  year,  to  keep 
prtjblcms  and  instances  of  academic  dishonesty  out  of  the  editorial 
rolumns-  However,  there  seems  to  have  arisen,  a  problem  that  has 
X)th  professors  and  students  wondering.  It  is  concerned  with  the 
jutside  assignments  given  in  the  World  History  courses,  which  are 
Ittcnded  in  the  main  by  freshmen. 

The  situation  you  know.  The  student  opinions  can  be  heard 
by  spending  five  minutes  in  the  Snaci  Bar.  What  is  important, 
or  seems  important  to  us,  is  that  the  professors  have  asked  why 
something  like  this  has  happened  and  why  the  attitude  taken  by 
those  who  have  been  named  offenders  is  indifferent.  Certainly,  in 
the  usual  case,  the  problem  is  between  the  student  and  the  in- 
structor. However,  in  this  particular  instance.*  it  concerns  all  of 
us.' 

We  could  not  attempt  to  answer  either  of  the  questions  ask- 
ed by  the  faculty.  We  have  heard,  in  several  discussions,  that  per- 
haps the  high  school  training  of  working  together  on  projects  may 
have  carried  over.  This  seems  to  be  a  rather  weak  argument  con- 
sidering that  this  is  a  college  and  that  all  of  us  are  here  to  be  edu- 
cated individually.  Another  idea  presented  is  that  perhaps  the 
students  do  not  recognize  the  offense  as  a  serious  one.  Surely  by 
now.  everyone  in  this  school  should  know  that  when  an  assignment 
is  given  individually,  it  is  expected  that  it  be  done  by  one  person. 

Of  course  there  are  the  usual  complaints  that  the  required 
courses  cause  this  type  of  situation.  No  one  is  required  to  come  to 
college.  But  if  you  come,  there  are  certain  things  that  are  expected, 
and  we  believe  that  the  educators  may  have  a  better  idea  of  what 
should  be  studied  and  what  should  not. 

From  all  reports  there  appears  to  be  a  large  number  of  students 
involved  in  this  problem.  One  wonders,  could  so  many  have  mis- 
understood or  could  so  many  not  know  the  difference  between  right 
and  wrong.  There  are  still  a  large  number  who  seemed  to  and  we 
don't  believe  that  is  just  because  they  have  had  a  better  education 
or  a  better  training  in  ethics. 

As  this  is  being  written,  no  decision  has  been  made  by  the 
school  on  what  to  do.  It  is  definitely  a  knotty  problem,  yet  as 
.stated  before,  it  is  expected  that  college  students  know  what  aca- 
demic honesty  is  and  practice  it.  We  hope  that  the  decision,  what 
ever  it  may  be.  emphasizes  the  situation  and  above  all,  prevents  it 
from  happening  again. 


AN  OPEN  LETTER 


To  the  Students  of  Washington  College: 

The  next  issue  of  the  ELM  will  be  under  the  direction  of  Ells 
Boyd,  the  newly  appointed  editor.  Seeing  that  this  is  my  last  chance 
to  use  these  columns  I  would  like  to  take  the  opportunity  to  thank 
all  of  our  readers  and  all  of  my  staff  for  splendid  cooperation,  help- 
■'ul  criticism,  and  the  feeling  created  that  we  have  accomplished  a 
ittle  something  since  last  February. 

Criticism  comes  fast  and  furious  and  compliments  are  few  and 
'ar  between  in  the  newspaper  business.  I  think  that  everyone  has 
been  particularly  kind  in  the  last  instance  and  unusually  helpful  in 
-iie  first.  I  appreciate  it  and  I  can  speak  for  the  staff  and  say  they 
ippreciate  it,  too. 

I  hope  that  you,  our  readers,  will  be  as  kind  to  the  new  staff. 
(  can  guarantee  that  they  will  do  a  good  job  and  want  helpful 
;riticism  when  they  need  ft. 

Again,  thanks  for  all  you've  done  during  the  past  year. 
Sincerely, 
Jane  Bradley 
Editor  in  Chief

Before  coming  to  college  he  was

which  the  K.  A.'s  have  given  him. 
This  year  Bruce  is  the  able  President

he  has  served  as  Scholarship  Chair-

of  Who's  Who  in  American  Colleges 
and  Universities- 
Bruce  has  majored  in  sociology,  and 
plans  to  do  personnel  work  after

New  Yearns  Resolution: 
WHY?— 


By   Bill   Russell 

The  following  things  should  have 
been  resolved  by  these  people  since 
the  last  issue  of  the  Elm  went  to 
press.  You  will  hai'c  to  ask  them 
why,    because    I'll    never    tell. 

Ntarie    Pasqarella;    To  always 
Wayne   Greun    to    her    New    Year   Eve 
parties    because    when    he    is     happy 
he's  too  much. 

Mchdi:  To  play  poker  with  the 
boys  more  often  to  increa.sc  his  Bank 
oF  Persia  balance  and  to  visit  the 
doodle-doodle  house  more  often. 

Birdman  Murray:  Never  to  play 
poker  with  my  friends  because  he 
now  holds  the  dubious  distinction  of 
going  from  "Birdman"  to  "Birddog" 
in  one  pot. 

Don  Steyncn:  To  keep  a  closer 
watch  on  his  dates  in  '53  because, 
according  to  some  well  informed 
sources,  he  really  got  around  New 
Year's  Eve. 

Rog  Smoot:  To  slay  the  same  place 
he  did  last  New  Year's  because  he 
thinks  that  cabinet  and  food  were 
too    crazy. 

Doug  Fox  and  Ben  Krolee:  To  see 
my  parents  some  time  when  they 
are  in  better  form  so  I  can  really 
convince  my  parents  that  they  are 
nice  guys  and  that  I  should  room 
with   them  next  semesler. 

Emily  Dryden:  To  call  Stockton 
every  New  Year's  Eve  to  say  hello  to 
her  parents  and  to  give  Chuck  a  breakl; 


nest    New    Year's.     Tfiere    were 
going   back    to   get    that    Happy   N^m 
Year  Kiss  twice  this  year. 

Dick  Norris:  To  always  know  whcrj 
the  gingeralc  and  ice  is  because  to  bt 
.a  good  host  you  should  know  ihou 
I  things.  1  almost  had  to  drink  my  wa. 
icr  straight. 

Ebe  Joseph:  To  play  it  a  little  moit 
cool  then  he  has  been  playing  it.  R^, 
member  it  doesn't  pay  to  get  cxcileil 

Betty  Aycrs:  She  says  honestly  sh{ 
will  never-do  anything  like  thii 
again — to     be     in     plays     that 

Jo  Budd:  To  stop  spinning  around 
like  a  top  or  bouncing  like  a  rubber 
ball.  It's  getting  hard  lo  keep  up 
with   you. 

Dave  Jacobes:  To  go  to  Florida  dur- 
ing mid-semester  because  he  thinks  ii 
really  is  a  necessity. 

Waniia  Mac  Schultz:  To  give  Bab 
a  chance  early  in  the  year  becaust 
from  what  I  hear  at  the  frat  houst 
you're  too  much. 

Ramona  Willey:  To  keep  her  den- 
tist  appointments  straight  during  '5] 
because  she  really  missed  a  good 
party. 

John  Grim:  To  get  a  car,  horse,  ot 
some  form  of  transportation  befoit 
'53  is  out  because  from  what  we  know 
it's  a  long  street  car  ride  from  Catonv 
villc  to  Towson. 

Cora  Lee:  To  try  her  best  to  keep 
from  knocking  over  the  Xmas  Tr« 
next  year  and  to  stay  away  from  her 
ttle   brother's   toy   train.

Flashlight  Caught" 

By  TTie  Night  Watchman 


For  awhile  1  thought  this  column 
wouldn't  be  ready  in  time,  but  gossip 
has  a  funny  way  of  turning  up  at 
be  last  moment. 

'  Good    luck    in     your    final     exams 
freshmen,  you'll  need   it. 

Congrats  to  the  Oxmen  and  the 
Foo's  for  their  successful  parties  over 
the  holidays  ...  I  hear  some  of  the 
boys  were  really  fixed  up  with  some 
beautiful  blind  dates  .  .  .  Ying  Ling 
.  Pardon  me  while  I  answer  the 
phone  .  .  .  N.  C. 

It  won't  be  too  long  before  your 
hand-shaking  days  are  here  again, 
George. 

Ste^ncn    didn't    mind    Doug    giving 


his  date  a  New  Year's  Eve  kiss,  but 
after  it  went  into  three  hours  of 
heavy  necking,  Don  was  ready  to  feed 
him   'goobers'. 

Gillespie  is  slowly  overcoming  the 
shock  of  Boojums  standing  him  up 
on    the    night    of  January    Ihe    third.

It    looks    like    the    'Foo's'    have    the 


society   situation     in     Baltimore 
sewn   up  .  .  .  guess  bald-headed  men

THE  WASHINGTON  ELM 


PAGE  THREE 


Samele  Sets  A  New  Court  Record 


In  The  PRESSBOX 


(By  Ray  Idler) 
Mounts  Invade  Shore  Tonight 

Coach  Ed  Athey  has  high  hopes  that  his  courtmen  will  upset 
[he  favored  Mt.  St.  Mary's  club  tonight.  The  Mount  five  is  a 
leading  contender  for  the  Mason-Dixon  title  and  a  victory  over 
them  would  boost  the  Shoremen  considerably. 

In  general,  the  visitors  have  good  height,  but  it  is  greater  speed 
and  shooting  ability  which  has  brought  them  praise  as  one  of  the 
[op  teams  in  the  conference.  The  defense  is  a  little  shaky,  but  de- 
spite this  weakness  the  team  still  shapes  up  as  a  tought  opponent  for 
[he  Shoremen  to  crack.  Their  record  is  3  wins  and  1  loss,  and  they 
lead  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference  until  last  Monday  night  when 
ihe  Mounts  bowed  to  American  University. 

The  Mountaineers  have  two  old  hands,  Ted  Kachnowski  and 
lim  McKeon,  as  steading  influences  who  will  give  us  plenty  of 
trouble.  It  is  doubtful  as  to  whether  or  not  Kochnowski  will  play, 
due  to  a  leg  injury  suffered  last  week.  They  also  have  another  re- 
turning veteran,  Vin  Gulbrin,  who  is  a  smooth,  steady  ball  player. 
This  6-foot-l  star  has  a  good  jump  shot,  is  trouble  for  any  team  un- 
der the  boards,  and  is  an  accurate  passer.  Two  newcomers  round 
out  the  first  five  of  the  squad,  Sal  Angelo  and  Charley  O'Donnell. 
Angelo  is  the  leading  scorer  for  the  Mount  with  Gulbrin  running 
a  close  second  ajid  O'Donnell  third.  Although  this  appears  to  be 
the  number  one  team.  Coach  Bill  Clarke  has  some  other  potentially 
good  players  who  will  probably  sec  action  before  the  night  is  over. 
|ack  Sherman  and  Bill  Stanley  are  two  flashy  ball  players  who  are 
battling  Kachnowski  and  McKeon  for  a  starting  berth.  Then  there 
is  Ed  Bals,  smallest  of  the  Mounts  at  5  feet  7  inches,  but  he  offsets 
a  lack  of  height  by  speed  and  aggressiveness.  Rounding  out  the 
iquad  are  Neil  Carmody,  George  Donahue,  Jack  Dunphy,  Jaqucs 
Mazoureix,  Frank  Smith,  Frank  Swaine,  and  Frank  Tumulty. 

Thus  far  the  invaders  from  Emmitsburg  have  had  things  pret- 
ty much  their  own  way.  Let's  hope  that  Washington  College  can 
dim  their  light  tonight  and  end  up  on  top  of  the  "Mount". 


Freshmen  Prospects 


The  ball  came  whistling  through 
Ihe  air;  there  was  a  sudden  lunge, 
ind  another  save  for  soccer  goalie — 
Joe  Szymanski!  Although  he  is  pri- 
loarily  known  for  his  pitch  play.  Joe 
ii  an  all-around  athlete  and  student. 
Fhile  in  high  school  he  excelled  in 
baseball,  basketba}!  and  soccer,  being 
named  to  the  "All  Maryland  Soccer 
Team"  in  his  senior  year.  While  at 
Wishington  College  he  has  been  a 
member  of  the  varsity  basketball 
squad  and  has  seen  considerable  ac- 
tion in  the  team's  first  nine  games. 
Joe  has  been  a  valuable  cog  in  the 
ieam"s  attack  through  his  6'6"  frame. 
He  intends  to  try  out  for  baseball  in 
ihe  spring  as  first  baseman.  Joc  al- 
ways kept  a  respectable  scholastic  rec- 
ord. Although  he  is  no  "■bookworm," 
he  maintained  a  steady  "B"  average 
in  his  work  at  Patterson  Park  High. 
Joe  is  planning  to  major  in  either 
themistry  or  mathematics.  He  is  inter. 
oicd  in  music  and  has  played  the 
Jccordian  for  eight  years.  We  have 
•Titien  many  words  aljout  "Big  Joe", 
but  it  lakes  only  four  to  define  his 
tharacier — "He's  a  great  guy." 

Terrors  Edge 
Sho'men 

Western  Maryland  College  snapped 
Washington  College's  four  game  win- 
ling  streak  in  the  Mason-Dixon  Con- 
'ercnce  on  January  8,  by  edging  the 
Atheymen  66  to  54  in  a  roughly  con- 
itsicd  game  in  which  41  personal  fouls 
"ere  committed. 

Trailing  by  27  to  26  at  halfiimc, 
'he  Terrors  caught  fire  in  the  third 
'"d  fourth  (juarters  and  outscored 
"icir  opponents  18  to  8  and  22  to  10. 

Washington  grabbed  a  M  to  5 
Itad  in  the  early  stages  of  the  game 
through  the  sharp-shooting  of  Dan 
^mcle  and  Dick  Brockcll.  But  the 
visiting  team  caught  up  with,  and 
PiMcd  the  Shoremen  as  five  men  hit 
double   figures.   George  Sipe   and   Ar. 


nie  Needleman  spearheaded  this  at- 
tack, scoring  15  and  14  points  re- 
spectively. 

Dickie  Brockeli  netted  17  markers 
for  the  evening,  while  Samele  and 
Jack  Bergen  tossed  in  13  and  H  in 
the  losing  cause. 

Loyola  Tops 
Sho'  Five 


Loyola  College  scored  its  third 
Mason-Dixon  Conference  basketball 
victory  at  the  expense  of  Washing- 
ton College  last  Saturday  night  at 
Evergreen,  by  ovenvhelming  its  tra- 
ditional rival,  75  to  49. 

The  Greyhounds  trailed  only  in  the 
opening  phases  of  play  when  the 
Shoremen  look  a  7  to  6  edge  after 
four  minutes  of  play.  However,  the 
Greyhounds  coasted  to  a  one-sided 
triumph,  opening  up  a  30  point  edge 
at    line  stage  of   the  final   quarter. 

Loyola  had  trouble  with  Washing, 
ton's  zone  defense  for  five  minutes 
of  play,  but  their  "Big  Three"  punch 
— Joel  Hiitleman,  Ed  Kowalewski,  and 
Nap  Doherty — began  to  hit  and  open- 
ed up  a  38  to  27  halftimc  lead. 
Doherty  netted  22  for  the  evening, 
followed  by  Hittleman  with  19  and 
Kowalewski  with   14. 

Dan  Samele  and  Jack  Bergen  swish- 
ed the  cords  for  9  apiece,  to  head 
the  Sho'  attack.  The  most  spectacular 
shot  of  the  first  half  came  with  just 
two  seconds  to  play.  Wcs  Edwards,  of 
Washington,  cut  loose  with  a  long 
heave  from  back  of  mid-court.  It 
dropped  into  the  netting  just  before 
the  huwer  went  off.

Thinclads 
Place  4th 


Washington  College  proved  that  its 
track  and  field  aspirants  were  not 
waiting  for  the  spring  to  arrive  to 
prove  their  running  ability,  by  en- 
tciing  a  relay  team  in  the  lOIst  edi- 
tion of  the  Washington  Evening 
Games    last   Saturday   night. 

A  medley  relay  quartet  composed 
of  George  Eichelbcrger,  Lew  Buckley, 
Slu  Young,  and  Ells  Boyd,  entered 
the  MasoU'Dixon  mile  event,  where 
they  edged  out  Bridgewater  and  Gal- 
laudct  College  to  gain  fourth  place  in 
the  race. 

An  experienced  Catholic  Universi- 
ty team  walked  oft  with  first  place 
honors,  touring  the  medley  mile  in 
3  minutes,  50  seconds.  Roanoke  Col- 
lege was  second  and  Towson  Teach- 
ers third.  With  only  one  week's  prepa- 
ration, the  Shoremen  turned  in  a 
creditable  performance  on  the  boards 
and  are  now  prcping  for  the  175lh 
Regiment  South  Atlantic  Association 
Championships  which  are  to  he 
held    in    Baltimore   on    February    II. 


JayVees 
Down  Wesley 


The  J.V.'s  added  another  win  to 
their  undefeated  record  by  edging  out 
Wesley  Junior  College  50-49  on  Thurs- 
day, January  8. 

Washington  jumped  to  an  early 
lead  and  at  the  end  of  hte  first 
quarter   led   by  a  score  of    16-10. 

The  Bulldogs  found  themselves  ii 
the  second  quarter  and  outscored  us 
11-6,  making  the  score  ai  the  halfway 
markmark,  22-21. 

As  the  second  half  got  underway, 
it  was  a  mad  scoring  spree,  with  the 
Blue  and  White  matching  us  basket 
for  basket.  In  the  latter  part  of  the 
third  quarter,  Wesley's  Wilson  drop- 
ped in  two  quick  sets  and  Carson 
added  a  foul  to  make  the  score  34-29 

The  spark  caught  on  to  the  Sho'' 
men  and  we  led  throughout  the  last 
period.  We  were  threatened  twice 
but  each  time  managed  to  keep  thi 
lead. 

.    Scoring   honors    for    the   night    went 
to  Carson  of  Wesley  with  12,  and  right 
behind    him    was    Washington's    Ji 
Haslett   with    11. 

Haslett,  who  recently  joined  the 
squad,  in  addition  to  leading  in  scor- 
ing, played  a  fine  all  around  game. 
Haslcti's  floor  work,  coupled  with  the 
rebounding  abilities  of  Steve  Mas- 
triana  and  the  sharp-shooting  of  Dean 
GrilTcn  and  Les  Bell,  made  for  a 
well-rounded   team,

By  Hugh  Delano 

Despite  a  standout  performance  by 
Captain  Danny  Samele,  in  which  the 
Washington  College  ace  netted  41 
points,  Ed  Alhey's  Shore  cagcrs  drop, 
pcd  an  88-84  decision  to  West  Chester 
State  Teachers'  College  on  Tuesday 
night    at    the   winner's    home   court, 

Until  he  fouled  out  with  about 
three  minutes  to  play,  Samele's  sharp- 
shooting  had  highlighted  (he  contest. 
His  41  points  came  on  16  field  goals, 
mostly  sets  and  one  hand  tosses  from 
the  keyhole,  and  nine  of  eleven  free 
throws. 

Samele  also  established  two  new 
individual  records  with  his  scoring 
spree.  He  eclip.sed  the  record  of  39 
points  in  a  single  game  which  Nick 
Scallion  had  set  last  scas<m  against 
Moravian  and  set  a  new  standard 
for  the  West  Chester  court,  which 
had  been  held  by  Peter  Mohska  since 
1949. 

Samele's  backcourt  partner,  Doug 
Tilley.  al.so  sparkled  for  the  Sho'- 
men as  he  turned  in  a  good  floor 
game  and  chipped  in  with  15  tallies. 
Jack  Bergen  canned  14  and  Dick 
Bnichell  turned  in  a  good  job  under 
the  boards.  High  man  for  West  Ches- 
ter was   Dick   Munch   with  26  points. 

Washington  held  a  14-10  advantage 
after  the  opening  session,  having 
grabbed  an  11-3  lead  early  in  the  peri- 
od.  After  the  Rams  pulled  up  lo  a 
20-20  deadlock.  Aihey's  crew  took  the 
lead  again  only  to  have  West  Ches- 
ter cage  thiee  quick  scores  for  a 
38-38  stalemate  at   halfiime. 

The  Rams  got  hot  early  in  the 
third  quarter  and  threatened  to  turn 
the  game  into  a  runaway,  as  they 
grabbed  a  52-44  lead.  However.  Ber- 
gen and  Samele  clicked  and  Tilley 
scored  the  two  points  that  knotted 
the  count  at  54-54.  From  that  time  on 
the  score  was  deadlocked  five  times, 
until  Samele  netted  a  one-handcr  to 
give  his  team  a  64-63  third  period 
edge. 

After  three  deadlocks  at  64.  66 
and  68.  the  Sho'men  fell  behind  by 
72-68  with  about  four  minutes  to  go. 
Samele  caged  two  sets  and  Tilley  a 
one  hand  push  for  another  tic  at  74 
all.  .Vfier  Samele's  pair  of  one-point- 
eni  made  it  76  all,  the  Rams'  Shelly 
Saffren  hit  with  a  jump  shot  and 
West    Chester    led    at    the   finish. 

Washington  pulled  up  to  an  84-86 
deficit  with  only  a  few  second  re- 
maining as  Bob  .Appleby  pumped  in 
a  short  one  bander,  but  the  Athey- 
men  missed  four  fouls  near  the  finish 
and  West  Chester  had  enough  left  to 
win.

PLEA  FOR  SUPPORT? 

Despite  tlic  fact  that  the  students  of  Washington  College  ar 
ccptcd  the  proposed  constitution  for  studtnt  government  by  vet 
ing  it  in  by  a  120  vote  margin.  191  to  71,  tlie  election  of  officers  lo 
tlie  student  council  was  met  with  curtailed  enthusiasm  and  liitK 
promotion. 

Only  four  petitions  were  submitted  to  the  Dean  of  Men,  one 
for  each  office  of  the  government.  Therefore,  no  primary  election 
was  necessary  and  the  general  election  was  just  a  formality. 

.Ml  four  of  the  students  who  Mere  elected  are  quite  capable  of 
serving  their  office  creditably,  but  the  fact  remains  that  the  stu- 
dent body  did  not  consider  it  necessary  to  file  more  than  one  peti- 
tion for  each  office  and  make  a  real  election  of  their  own  govern- 
ment. 

A  reproduction  of  the  May  3,  1941,  edition  of  the  Washington 
Elm  reads  as  follows:  "Small  Turnout  For  Primary  Election." 
"Primary  elections  were  held  last  Thursday  for  the  President  and 
Secretary  of  the  Student  Council  with  but  141  students  participat- 
ing." 

This  was  14!  more  than  we  had  last  week.  Student  Govern- 
ment in  1941  continued  until  the  Second  World  War  when  it  was 
disbanded.  Hov.ever.  on  December  12,  1946,  a  vote  was  taken  in 
an  attempt  to  reorganize  student  government.  The  results  appear- 
ed in  the  January  10,  1947.  issue  which  read:  "Student  Government 
Rejected  By  Pre-Holiday  Vote." 

Is  ibis  a  pica  for  support?  Not  necessarily — it  is  just  a  re- 
minder. We  have  advanced  through  the  preliminary  stages  of  this 
organization  and  have  completed  the  election  of  officers. 

The  next  step  will  include  nominations,  primary  elections,  and 
final  elections  for  class  representatives  to  your  student  government. 
Draw  up  your  petitions,  cast  your  votes,  and  support  the  cause,  for 
it  is  your  suggestions,  reforms,  and  views  that  these  class  representa- 
tives will  eventually  ("arr^'  to  the  council  for  consideration.

Senior  Of 
The  Week 


When  the  Baccalaureate  Service 
and  Commenccnient  Exercises  arc 
held  on  May  31  of  this  year,  and 
another  senior  class  is  graduated  from 
Washini^ton  CollcBe,  ihcrc  will  be  one 
beaming  face  in  this  class  which  will 
particularly  si.and  out  from  all  the 
rest.  It  will  be  that  of  Charles  R. 
Gardiner.  Yes.  "Stump"  is  finally 
lci\ing  our  humble  abode  after  a  4 
\eir   tenure.

With  The  QREEKS: 


1 70  pound  senior,  his  stud>  lamp 
burninc!  right  up  lo  the  finish  Imc 
on  January  24,  as  he  samel>  tried 
to  cam  a  berth  on  the  Dean's  list 
before    leavini?    the    Shore    school 

However,  if  he  doesn't  carry  the 
honor  of  bcint;  on  the  Dean's  team 
home  to  Haddon  Heights,  N.  J., 
"Slump"  will  be  able  lo  leave  with 
fond  memories  of  the  gridiron  sport, 
which  Washington  dropped  in  1951. 
Playing  l^vo  years  as  a  first  team 
cuard  under  Coach  Dim  Monlero, 
Gardiner  was  a  mainstay  on  the  line 
and  played  a  major  role  in  several 
Sho'   victories. 

He  proved  his  grid  talent  by  cap- 
taining Kappa  Alpha  to  the  intra- 
mural fraternity  footbaQ  crown  last 
fall.  However,  the  diminutive  5  ft. 
10  inch  student  is  active  in  extra- 
curricular activities  as  well. 

Gardiner  is  vice-president  of  the 
Varsity  Club  and  is  Knight  Usher  of 
Kappa  Alhpa  Order,  in  which  he  has 
been  active  for  3  years.  He  has  maj- 
ored in  economics,  and  will  be  com- 
pleting these  credits  in  this,  his  final 
semester.  His  main  objective  after 
graduation  will  be  choosing  a  branch 
of  military  service  to  enter.  "Stump" 
is  seriously  considering  the  Army  Air 
Corps,  particularly  the  advantages  of- 
fered   in    its    Air  (Cadet    Program.

Cagers  Eye  2nd  Straight  Win  Tonight 


In  The  PRESSBOX 

(By  John  Hughes) 


SHOREMEN  RUN  WITH  GREYHOUNDS 

Chcstertown  High's  gym  will  be  filled  to  capacity  tonight,  as 
a  large  homecoming  crowd  will  watch  the  Sho'men  take  on  Loyola 
fif  Baltimore  in  a  Mason-Dixon  Conference  tilt. 

Although   Loyola,   number  one  in  the  M-D  Conference  with 

f-0  record,  won  easily  in  an  earlier  meeting  this  year,  a  victory 
for  the  Sho'men  would  give  them  a  good  chance  for  a  play-ofT 
berth.  Washington,  with  a  6-8  conference  record,  is  fighting  i 
out  with  Hampden-Sydney,  Johns  Hopkins  and  Baltimore  U. 

There  can  be  no  doubt  in  anyone's  mind  that  the  Greyhound: 
ivoti't  put  a  fine  ball  club  on  the  floor.  In  a  recent  meeting  with 
La  Salle,  one  of  the  nation's  top  quintets,  Loyola  was  able  to  main- 
tain a  lead  into  the  second  quarter,  until  La  Salle's  All  American, 
Tom  Cola,  broke  loose  and  went  on  to  score  29  points. 

The  probable  starting  line-up  for  Loyola  will  be:  Jerry  Chad- 
,'ifk  at  center,  Joel  Hittleman  and  Nap  Dohcrty  at  guards,  and 
Tony  Pistorio  and  Ed  Kowalewski  at  forwards.  Hittleman,  who  i 
one  of  the  conference  scoring  leaders,  is  regarded  by  many  coachei 
the  top  player  in  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference.  Nap  Doherty 
is  one  of  the  main  reasons  why  we  were  defeated  by  Loyola,  while 
Pistorio  and  Kowalewski  were  responsible  for  keeping  Samele  and 
■gen  from  hitting  double  figures.  Chadwick,  a  fine  reboundei 
rounds  out  the  roster. 

Two  Sho'men  go  into  tonight's  game  with  very  impressive 
■coring  records.  Danny  Samele  with  216  and  Jack  Bergen  with 
212  are  one-two  in  points  scored  in  the  conference.  Samele's  aver- 
age of  18  places  him  third  in  the  point-per-gamc  department  while 
Bergen's  17.7  is  a  good  fourth. 

With  these  two  experienced  players,  and  the  return  of  Bob 
Appleby  and  Doug  Tiilcy  to  the  squad,  the  Atheymcn  should  make 
3  real  fight  out  of  the  game.     (Both  were  out  with  flu). 

Mention  should  be  made  of  the  fine  play  of  George  Hesse  and 
Ronnie  Sisk  in  the  past  few  games.  Neither  one  of  these  boys  scor- 
ed much  in  the  beginning  of  the  season,  but  both  are  coming 
through  when  most  needed,  and  have  given  the  team  added  scoring 
punch. 


Freshmen  Prospects 


After  sitting  out  3  period  of  in 
eligibility,  John  "Junior"  Evcrsoli 
has  returned  to  the  hardwood  sport

ilhleics  on  the  varsity  squad.  He  pos- 
ascs  a  fine  one  hand  set  shot,  and 
1  quite  a   ball   hawk.

baseball  diamond,  and  as  an 
^cl,  he  aided  Allegany's  football 
<luad  in  being  recognized  as  a  prom- 
iciu  football  power  in  the  state.  In

Thinclads 
Join  B.O.C. 


Last  Saturday  afternoon,  Washing- 
ton College's  fine  track  aspirants,  who 
have  been  participating  in  several 
indoor  track  and  field  meets,  jour- 
neyed to  Baltimore  to  participate  in 
the  South  Atlantic  A.A.U.  Champion- 
ships which  were  held  at  the  Fifth 
Regiment  Armory. 

This  time,  however,  the  Shore- 
men were  clad  in  the  red  and  white 
of  the  Baltimore  Olympic  Club, 
which  took  second  place  meet  hon- 
ors, 18  points  behind  a  well  balanced 
Morgan   State   College   team. 

Outstanding  among  the  Sho'  en- 
tries was  George  Eichelbcrger's  2  min- 
ute, fi  second  half  mile  which  he  ran 
as  a  member  of  a  B.O.C.  two  mile  re- 
lay team.  Lew  Buckley,  also  running 
on  a  two  mile  team,  turned  in  a 
creditable  time  along  with  freshman 
Terry  Johrtson. 

Stu  Young,  transfer  from  Salisbury 
Stale,  barely  missed  a  bid  to  the  fi- 
nals of  the  70  yard  dash,  as  did  El's 
Boyd  in  the  CO  yard  high  hurdles. 
The  latter  also  high  jumped  5'8", 
but  could  not  match  the  G'2"  mark 
set  by  two  Maryland  U,  graduates, 
who   were   also   B.O.C.   entries. 

Mickey  Hubbard,  track  star  and 
graduate  of  '50,  ran  a  fine  quarter 
mile  on  the  Baltimore  Club's  one 
mile  relay  team  which  was  edged  out 
by    a    fast    stepping   Morgan    quartet. 


JUMPING    JACK— Jack    Bergen    displays    shot    which 

s    respoiLsible    for 

his   18  point  average  in  Conference  play.     He  has  two 

years  of  cligibili- 

ty  remaining. 

Jays  Down 
Sho'men 


Washington  College  lost  its  fifth 
Mason-Dixon  Conference  game  in  a 
nip-and-tuck  contest  with  Jofms  Hop- 
kins on  February  4th, 

The  win  was  Hopkins"  third  con- 
secutive one  and  although  the  score 
was  81-69,  it  was  anybody's  game  un- 
til the  Shoremen  fell  apart  in  the 
final  minutes  of  play.  The  visitors 
scored  12  of  their  18  points  of  the 
4th  quarter  in  ihe  final  four  minutes 
of  play.  Washington  could  connect 
for  only  six  markers  in  this  period 
and  Ihe  Bluejayg  pulled  away  with 
plenty  to  spare. 

The  Shoremen  led  5043  at  the  end 
of  the  first  half  as  Danny  Samele, 
Ronnie  Sisk  and  Jack  Bergen  ac- 
counted for  43  of  these  50  points. 
Hopkins  switched  to  a  zone  defense 
in  the  second  half  and  controlled 
most  of  the  rebounds  as  Lowell  Wil- 
son and  Al  Birtch  led  the  scoring 
which  caught  Washington  at  63-63, 
when  the  third  period  ended.  Bob 
Lilien  scored  eight  points  in  the  final 
quarter  as  W.ishington  ran  out  of 
steam  and  could  not  check  Hopkins' 
fast  break.  The  Jays  held  a  five  point 
lead  by  the  lime  the  clock  hit  the  4 
minute  mark  and  from  there  on 
was  their  show. 

Samele    was    high    scorer    with    24 
points,    and    Bergen    and      Sisk      were 
runncrups  with    15   and    13   respective-

Tow9on 
Quint  Wins 


Jack  Downs  dropped  in  the  winning 
field  goal  with  only  five  seconds  re- 
maining as  Towson  Slate  Teachers 
upset  Washington  College  on  the 
winner's  court,  67  to  65,  last  Tues- 
day night. 

It  was  the  Sho'men's  sixth  straight 
loss,  their  last  win  having  come  at 
the  hands  of  the  "Teachers"  on  Jan- 
uary 29.  Paced  by  Samele  and  Ber- 
gen,  who  tallied  29  points  between 
them,  the  Sho'men  were  ahead 
throughout  the  contest  until  the  last 
minute  of  play.  Frank  Lastner  put 
Towson  ahead  65  to  63  on  a  driving 
layup.  Sisk,  Washington  forward,  tied 
it  up  again  with  a  set  shot.  Then 
came  Downs'  basket — a  one-bander 
from  outside  the  four  circle — to  give 
the  Teachers  their  second  straight 
victory. 

\i  one  time  during  the  fourth  peri- 
od Washington  lead  by  seven  points, 
but  the  hustling  Towsoniles  were 
not  to  be  denied.  Downs'  sharp 
shooting  earned  him  22  points  for 
the  evening  which  gave  him  scoring 
honors.

Relay  Team  Places 

Third  In  Meet 


Rimning  in  the  Mason-DLvon  one 
mile  medley  relay,  Washington  Col- 
lege placed  third  and  was  in  the 
medal  winning  class,  in  the  175th 
Regiment  S..^.A.  track  and  field  meet 
last  Wednesday  night  at  the  Fifth 
Regiment  Armory  in  Baltimore.  i 

The  relay  foursome  of  George  Eich.  | 
elbcrger.  Lew  Buckley,  Ells  Boyd,  | 
and  Stu  Young,  had  held  the  lead 
until  the  final  two  laps  of  the  half , 
■  leg,  when  Kcilher  Wilson  of 
Towson  State  and  Larry  Schmidt  of 
Catholic    U.    began    their  kick   which 


Washington  College's  junior  varsity 
cagers  dropped  a  69-51  decision  to  Si. 
Mary's  of  Annapolis  on  Feb.  5  at  the 
victors'  gym. 

A  star  studded  St.  Mary  team  waj 
slow  in  moving  into  the  lead,  bu( 
managed  to  gain  a  34-25  halEtimc  ad 
vantage. 

Pip  Moyer,  ex-Maryland  U.  fresh 
man  eager,  and  Joe  Duff,  former  WcsV 
Virginia  University  ace.  led  the  scor- 
ing with  19  and  II  points  respective- 
ly, as  the  Saints  never  relinquished 
Ihe  lead  after  halfiime. 

Mickey  DiMaggio  dunked  10  mark- 
ers through  the  hoops,  excelling  in 
drive-in  shots,  and  Mule  Jennings  to- 
taled 9  points,  especially  adept  on 
jump  shots,  to  lead   tlie  Sho'  cagers. 

Coach  Nesbiti's  courtmcn  pulled  to 
within  7  points  of  the  home  team  in 
the  fourth  quarter,  but  Duff's  9  point 
surge  in  this  period  spoiled  the  Ma- 
roon rally. 

Despite  the  steady  rebounding  of 
Roy  MacDonald  and  Jim  Haslett,  ihc 
Nesbittmen  could  not  match  their 
taller  opponents. 

Don  Como,  who  led  Baltimore  U. 
in  the  rebounding  department  last 
season,  was  consistent  on  both  boards 
for  the  winners. 

The  Ja>Tecs  dropped  an  exciting 
court  encounter  in  the  last  10  seconds 
of  play  last  Wednesday  night  to  the 
Bainbridge  Naval  Prep  School,  68-67. 
The  Juniors  now  have  a  4  and  3  over- 
all record  for  the  season.

iLpiiblic.  He  discus!ied  also  ihc  con- 
lenipoiary  arisisis  of  I'cale's  periods, 
and  hnnlly,  the  other  members  of  Ihc 
Peale  family  who  followed  Charles 
Wilson  Peale  and  had  an  interest  in 
George  Washington  and  a  chance  to 
paint    him. 

Mr.  Sellers  is  the  lurcmost  author- 
ity on  Charles  Wilson  Pcule,  of  whom 
he  is  a  direct  descendant.  He  had  had 
an  interest  in  other  early  Americans,

The  current  fund  raisuig  campaign 
at  Washington  College  has  nearly 
reached  the  $200,000  mark.  This  cam. 
paign  was  slatted  only  last  .August 
and  has  already  renovated  West  Hall 
into  a  modern  and  luxurious  dormi- 
ti)ry.  The  major  portion  of  this  mon- 
ey has  come  from  Kent  County  and 
the  Baltimore  Metropolitan  area, 
both  of  which  have  been  extensively 
covered.  Similar  programs,  under  the 
direction  of  Mr.  Herbert  Richmond, 
are  well  under  way  in  Cecil  County. 
Queen  Anne's  County.  Dorchester 
County,  Washington,  Wilmington. 
Philadelphia,  and   New  York. 

The  money  raised  will  be  used  for 
a  new  Women's  Dormilorv.  The 
aUimni  chapters,  from  which  most  of 
this  money  must  come,  arc  being  or- 
ganized under  the  able  direction  of 
Spencc  Robinson.  Plans  are  underway 
for  a  gala  reunion  at  Washington 
College   of  all   Alumni   on    May  29-31.

Ii  h.T^  hccn  broiicht  to  mv  .Tttention  by  more  than  a  few  of  tlit 
student  hndv.  who  wrrr  rather  upset  and  disappnintrd.  that  th( 
tenth  olde^  collcijc  in  the  United  States  did  not  ohscrvc  a  holidnr 
on  February  22.  in  honor  of  the  man  for  whom  t)ie  in-^titution  wa^ 
named — Gcnrire  Wa'vhineton! 

'Trs.  \M-  had  Sunday  ofT.  but  not  Monday,  because  we  aluay 
^ei  Sunday  ofT."  the  disturbed  little  coed  rattled  on. 

"Did  I  ever  tell  you  of  George  \Vashincton'N  visit  to  our  obscure 
cotlec"  on  the  Eastern  Shore?"  questioned  L 

■'He  started  from  the  shore  of  the  Poor  Man's  Country  Chib 
in  a  half-mast  boat  which  was  borrowed  from  the  inhabitants  of 
the  Okic-FOO-Nokie  swamp.  With  a  West  wind  and  the  salt  spray 
of  the  Chester  River  alightine  on  his  brow.  GeoreJe  renewed  his 
historic  crossing  of  the  Delaware." 

"Now  ever\'onc  here  knows  that  this  Institution  is  famous  for 
having  had  George  \V.  as  an  overnight  guest  here  in  17 —  and  that 
this  ETcatlv  influenced  the  administration  to  name  the  eollege  in 
his  behalf.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  he  slept  in  room  44  in  Middle  Hall 
and  from  the  looks  of  it  at  the  prisent.  it  hasn't  been  tidied  up  for 
two  centuries  for  fear  of  disturbing  that  historical  sifinificance  left 
there  by  George.  A  new  generation  of  niice  reside  in  that  dorm, 
desrendants  of  those  that  welcomed  the  "Father  of  our  Countiy." 

"George  even  ate  in  the  old  Hodson  Hall  building.  He  sent 
some  of  its  soup  off  to  the  front  lines  where  his  soldiers  laid  starving 
They  sent  it  back!  But  Gcorgie  didn't  mind,  'cause  that's  what  he 
used  to  kill  ofT  some  of  the  mice." 
''^-  'TTipy  say  tTiat  Tie  even  attended  one  of  the  very  earliest  con- 
vocation exercises  here,  brushing  up  on  much  needed  sleep.  Several 
school  authorities  tried  to  fine  him  for  not  coming  to  class,  for  in 
those  days  the  rule  was  worse— S2  fine  for  undercuts!  When  his 
horse  and  buggy  received  a  warning  note  for  parking  in  the  road 
behind  West  Hall,  the  poor  ole  man  decided  to  leave." 

"Now."  says  I  to  that  sweet  li'l  coed.  "I  know  that  colleges  and 
universities  in  the  East  and  West  and  North  and  South  honor  Mr 
Washington  by  declaration  of  a  holiday,  but  if  we  did  sn. 
we'd  have  to  attend  an  extra  day  of  school  in  the  month  of  Mav." 

"Oh!"  exclaimed  she.  quite  elated.  "That  takes  quite  a  load 
off  my  mind."  And  as  that  dear  little  coed  tramped  daintily  down 
the  sacred  L.  T  heard  her  articulate  under  her  breath.  "I  wonder 
whv  u-e  have  classes  on  Thomas  Jefferson'-  hirthdav?!!"

Chuci:*  Govington — Make  sure  all 
Ihc  power  that  ODK  has,  goes  lo  Stu- 
dent Government.  All  functions 
should  be  cleared  ihnmgh  Sludcni

Student 
Council 


Now  It  Can 
Be  Told 


Ttic  Theia  Chi's  have  had  a  prob- 

m  of  world  shaking  importance  rest. 

g  on  their  shoulders  for  the  past 
few  weeks.  It  was  not  a  political  prob- 
lem, not  an  economic  problem,  not  a 
social  problem — it  might  be  consid- 
ered a  moral  problem  in  that  it  in- 
volved a  decision  between  what  is 
right   and   what   is  wrong. 

Sentiment  grew  in    the   O   X    House 
until    the    brothers    found    thcmsciv 
split     into     two     definite     faciors- 
(hi.  pio's  and  the  con's.  The  object  of 
ill    this    coniroversy    was      one      very 
>.nect    very  playful,  and  very  ngly  al 
lev  cTi.  Now,  there  would  have  been 
no  irouhle  if  Kittv  had  been  a  good 
tilt    But   it  was  discovered  lhat  Kiti 
»  is  1  loose  cat  wilh  no  morals — Kit- 
is   nas  what  you  call  '"in  trouble". 

To  throw  a  poor  cat  expecting  a 
fimib  out  into  the  street  seemed 
downright  inhuman  to  the  pro's,  led 
by  Rip  and  Lope.  "But  we  can't  af- 
lord  to  support  a  cat  and  fi  or  8  kit- 
tens .said  the  con's,  led  by  Hex?. 
And  in  ihc  midst  was  the  "Little  Gen- 
ciaL,  for  the  fiisi  lime  unable  lo  rec- 
onsile  the  'Troops".  Wes  Edwards, 
m  a  mild  frenzy,  said,  quote— "This  is 
the  greatest  problem  I've  had  to  face 
since  becoming  piesidcnt  of  Thela 
Chi" — unquote. 

Bui  it  .seems  thai  Killy  sensed  th> 
dissent  ion,  her  home  life  was 
lunger  a  happv  (>ne,  and  she  had  that 
"unwanied"  feeling.  So  Kiiiy  migrated 
to  the  Lambda  House,  established  her- 
self, and  the  blessed  cveni-  occurred. 

The  Lambda's  contemplated  pulling 
Killy  in  a  box,  wrapping  her  up 
prettily,  and  giving  her  to  the  K.A 
as  a  house  warming  present.  The 
plan  wasn't  carried  out.  however,  and 
the  Lambda's  are  siill  the  proud  papas 
of  Kilty  and  her  brood.  How 
you    fixed    for    cigars,    fcllows? 

A  WISE  man  is  he  who  has  sense 
enough  to  cast  his  lot  with  the  woman

The  Perfect 
Schedule 


The  problem  of  arranging  a  sched- 
ule that  will  be  bolh  convenient  and 
beneficial  is  one  of  great  importance. 
Much  thoughti  and  planning  should 
go  into  the  perfect  schedule,  remem- 
bering always  that  we  arc  in  college 
to  prepare  ourselves  to  become  well- 
rounded  adults.  A  diversified  selection 
;ourse.s  is  best  to  keep  our  young, 
energetic  minds  from  growing  sialc. 
The  following  schedule  has  been  ap- 
proved by  a  panel  of  fifteen  in  Rcid 
Hall  and  is  now  before  the  adminisira. 
tion  for  their  endorsement.  If  all  goes 
well,  iniercsicd  students  will  be  able 
to  lake  thees  courses  in  the  fall  se- 
mester of  Ti.^. 

We.  of  course,  arc  not  taking  any 
8:iri's.  Several  good  courses  arc  offer- 
ed but  no  college  student  in  his  right 
mind  could  be  induced  to  take  an 
&A'i.  9:\!>  cverv  day  is  reserved  for 
Snack  Bar  101,  where  we  eai  break- 
fiisi  and  say  good  morning  lo  our 
friends. 

On  Monday.  'Wednesday,  and  Friday 
Ihc  rest  of  the  schedule  runs  some- 
thing like   [his: 

10:15— Bartending  213

COURT  FINALE 

Spring  sports  arc  ushered  in  as  the  curtain  falls  on  the  19:>2-33 
basketball  season,  with  the  team  sporting  a  8-12  conference  record. 
It  leaves  fruiJ  for  discussion  of  past  performances,  and  of  future 
possibilities.  Losing  such  memorable  stars  as  Nick  Scallion,  Kenny 
Sullivan,  Jim  Taylor,  and  a  few  more,  this  year's  flying  pentagon 
did  not  figure  to  be  among  the  Mason-Dixon  leaders.  Indeed, 
this  was  to  be  the  year  of  rebuilding.  Starting  with  a  nucleus  of 
two  returning  regulars,  Danny  Sameie  and  Jack  Bergen,  Cnarli 
Athcy  added  Dnug  Tilley,  George  Hesse,  and  Freshmen  Dick 
Broekell  and  Ronny  Sisk,  Of  the  15  men  on  the  squad,  a  total  nf 
nine  were  freshmen.  Starting  off  with  a  winning  streak  of  four 
games,  Washington  gave  the  indication  of  having  a  top  flight  team. 
After  a  loss  to  Western  Maryland,  the  team  lost  its  stride,  and 
never  fully  regained  it.  It  was  a  team  which  at  times  could  be 
spectacular,  with  beautiful  passing,  shooting  and  teamwork.  The 
only  trouble  was  inconsistency.  After  a  good  first  period  the  team 
usually  ran  out  of  gas  as  the  opposing  teams  took  the  lead  late  in 
the  second  quai"ter  or  just  after  the  half. 

The  season  closed  last  night,  and  there  will  be  two  boys  who 
will  never  again  wear  the  Maroon  and  Black  of  Washington  Col- 
lege. They  are  Danny  Sameie  and  Wcs  Edwards.  Now  the  ques- 
tion is,  how  will  we  do  next  year?  With  the  addition  of  Frank 
Phares  to  the  lineup  the  team  will  have  adequate  height,  which 
was  lacking  this  year.  With  a  year  of  experience  under  their  belts, 
many  of  the  younger  players  should  be  ready  next  season.  Some  of 
the  Junior  Varsity  might  be  moved  up  to  fill  the  gap  left  by  grad- 
uation. 

The  team  this  year  possessed  the  spirt  and  good  sportsmanship 
that  all  the  Sho'  cagers  have  in  the  past.  Their  record  was  com- 
mendable and  we  wish  them  luck  in  the  spring  sports  which  many 
of  the  courtmnn  will  participate  in. 


Danny  Sameie  Passes 

The  1,000  Point  Mark 


Washington  College's  phenomenal 
star.  Danny  SamcIc  of  Torringion, 
Conn.,  added  lwo  more  records  to  his 
list  of  -court  achievements  during  ihc 
team's  two-day  trip  to  New  York  last 
week. 

1  he  Shi>remen  engaged  Hofstra  and 
Wagnei  Colleges  and  allliough  they 
lost  both  encounters,  Samcle's  out- 
standing play  won  a  great  ovation. 
.Mthough  only  5'I0"  tall,  and  play- 
ing among  several  giants  of  the  hard- 
wood. Danny  set  an  individual  scoring 
record  against  the  Dutchmen,  racking 
up  27  points  for  the  evening.  He  hit 
for  10  of  21  shou  which  brings  his 
scoring  pti  centage  close  lo  12% , 
highest   on    the   team. 

.Against  Wagner,  the  diminutive  ace 
totaled  23  points  to  hring  his  season's 
mark  lo  484  points,  a  22  per  game 
average. 

In  only  3  years  of  varsity  eonipcii- 
lion  he  lias  surpassed  the  1,000  point 
mark.  Not  including  [he  Randolph- 
Macon  and  Roanoke  contests,  lie  has 
hit    for    l.02r)   in    the  record   bof>k. 

Sameie  was  an  .Ml-Siatc  choice  while 
ai  Torringion  High  School  in  Con- 
necticut, and  in  19-18  he  attended 
JV'ew  Britain  Slate  Teachers'  College. 
He  was  destined  to  play  for  Wash- 
ington howeixT,  and  to  follow  in  his 
brother's  footsteps.  "Pep"  Sameie, 
Danny's  brother,  was  a  Tormer  Ma- 
roon cage  star  and  he  influenced 
Dan  to  attend  the  Chestertown  col- 
lege. 

Danny  followed  in  the  footsteps  of 
Nick  Stallion,  who  won  innumerable , 
scoring  honors,  and  when  Nick  grad-  ^ 
ualed,  Dan  was  the  nucleus  about  ^ 
which  the  Sho'  team  was  built.  ' 

Fans  at  West  Chester  State  Teach- ) 
ei-s'  College  will  never  forget  Samelc's 
41  point  output  this  year  which  broke 
their  scliool  record  and  Washington's, 
loo.  It  was  none  other  than  Nick 
Scallion's    name    which      was     erased 


■'The  Rock,"  as  Dan  is  often  called, 
experienced  his  biggest  thrill  when 
he  netted  29  points  against  Loyola 
College  on  Homecoming  night.  The 
Torrington  lad  had  been  held  to  9 
ai  Loyola,  but  he  proved  his  scoring 
ability  by  avenging  this  single  figure 
output.  He  ran  his  arch  rival,  Tony 
Pistorio,  into  the  hardwood  and  gave 
the  Greyhounds  something  [o  h<Avl 
aboutl 

On  Monday  of  last  week_  he  was 
heading  the  stale  .scoring  list,  but 
iiiiinv  games  have  been  played  by  the 
Maryland  state  teams  since  then.  He 
is.  however,  "The  Best  Bet"  for  Ma- 
son-Dixon   AlKSlar    honors.

Coach  Ed  Athcy's  Hying  pentagon 
defeated  Randolph-Macon  College, 
79-G7  hi  a  Mason-Dixon  Conference 
gLimc  last  Tuesday  night  at  the  losers' 
gym. 

Paced  by  their  dependable  one-two 
.scoring  punch — Danny  Sameie  and 
Jack  Bergen,  who  netted  22  and  24 
points  respectively,  Washington  upset 
Ihc  confident  Southerners' and  tight- 
eticd  the  conference  standings. 

Sameie  led  a  third  quarter  spree 
hy  ihe  victors  when  he  dunked  H 
points  through  the  hoop  in  five  min- 
utes of  play.  This  broke  the  game 
wide  open,  after  it  had  been  tied 
32-32  at  halftime.  This  third  quarter 
rally  put  the  visitors  ahead  by  their 
widest  margin  (if  the  contest — 16 
points, 

The  Jackets  were  able  to  Widdle 
only  4  points  li"Oin  ihU  lead  before 
the   Dual   liuz/er   sounded. 

The  lead  changed  hands  live  times 
during  the  first  half,  until  Sameie 
and  Bergen  combined  their  set  and 
jump  shot.s  to  place  the  Shoremen 
in  the  lead  in  the  third  period,  after 
which    they    were    never,  headed. 

Bohby  Sullivan  and  Joe  .Szymanski 
scored  8  and  9  points  for  the  winners 
and  controlled  the  backboards  on  of- 
fense and  defense.  Bob  Appleby  and 
Doug  Tilley  were  instrumental  in 
the  Maroon's  fast  break.  George  Hesse 
and  Ronnie  Sisk  played  a  fine  floor

On  Feb.  6,  a  strong  Baltimore  t'. 
team  came  from  hchind  to  fitnc

then  tied  the  .score  at  27-27  and  went  . 
ahead  29-27  only  to  have  the  Sho":: 
men  once  again  lake  over  and  re 
lain  the  lead,  42-37  at  halftime. 

Wiih  Anderson  and  Ed  Malin  lead- 
ing the  attack  B.U.  closed  the  gap  to 
^u-56   as   Ihe   third    period   closed. 

The  score  was  tied  three  times  and 
the  lead  changed  bands  three  times 
in  the  last  quarter.  The  final  four 
minutes  "f  play  saw  each  team  ex- 
change baskets  in  a  see-saw  battle 
with  the  game  ending  in  a  72-72  tie. 

Both  teams  were  tense  as  Ihe  over-

one-half  minutes  left  to  play.  Bill 
Hartleb  fouled  Sameie  and  Washing. 
ton  went  ahead  74-72.  Ron  Hall

and  was  fouled  by  Sameie.  Malin 
itLsscd  both  free  throws  through  and 
B.li.  won  76-74. 

Scoring  honors  for  the  night  went 
to  Sameie  with  seven  field  goals  and 
eleven  free  throws  for  twenty-five. 
Baltimore's  high  man  wa.s  Hall  with 
21  points.  George  Hcssc  and  Ron  Sisk  .^ 

itinucd  to  play  the  brand  of  ball 
that  has  made  them  stand  out  tn  the 
latter  part  of  the  season.  Even  though 
we  lost  as  far  as  statistics  sl^ow,  the 
Sho'men  played  a  spirited  game  and 
deserve  credit  for  an  outstanding  per- 
formance.

Northerners 
Trip  Sho'men 


By  Hugh  Delano 

JoiiuR-ying  to  New  Voik  last  week 
lid.  C<iath  Ld  Aihe>s  Wavhingioii 
College  cageu  found  the  going  ,uj: 
North  a  bit  rough  as  they  dioppcil 
hoih  games,  bowing  lo  Hnfstra  on 
on  I'riiluy  nighi  and  Wagner  on  Sat- 
uiday. 

The  Shore  quintet  fell  victims  to  a 
pair  Iff  high-storing  New  York  five  as 
Ihcy  sulTcicd  an  S7-TI  levcrsal  to  a 
strong  Hofsira  squad  in  the  opener, 
and  then  were  buiicd  by  Wagner 
College  by  an  S4r.7  count. 

The  opener  with  Hofstia.  played 
at  Hempstead.  Long  Island,  saw  Ihc 
Sho'men  ouisctnc  the  Hofslia  com- 
bine from  Ihe  floor  27  to  26,  However, 
ihe  big  dilTerente  was  from  ihe  foul 
line  as  the  winnein  hit  thirly-fivc  out 
of  fiiiiy-ihice  free  throws  while  Wash- 
ington canncr  seventeen  of  twenty- 
live. 

Alhcy's  charges  hit   for  a  good   pcr- 
cntagc   on    Ihcit  shots   and   consider- 
ing that   Hofsira  is  one  of  the  better 
small  college  teams  in  ibc  Metropoli- 
n    area    ihis   season,    the      Shoremen 
cic  no  pushover. 

Washington's  one-two  punch  of 
Danny  Samcle  and  Jack  Bergen  set 
he  pace  with  fifty-one  points  between 
them.  Samcle,  hitting  well  from  out- 
side, led  the  pack  wilh  27  markers, 
while  Bergen  netted  iiventv-four,  and 
freshman  Ronnie  Sisk  dropped  in  12. 
High  men  lor  the  winners  were  AI 
Johnson  with  24,  Jim  Bobby  and 
Ted  KicscI  with   16  each. 

Washington  fell  behind  2fi-2l  af- 
ter the  opening  sian'a  and  then  pull- 
ed up  to  a  44-37  deficit  at  the  half. 
However,  the  Flying  Dutchmen  dinch- 
■d  the  win  as  they  pulled  in  front  by 
1  6,'i-r(2  margin  after  three  periods. 
\fler  a  17-17  deadlock  in  the  fi"! 
period  in  the  game  with  Wagner, 
the  Sho'  offense  folded  as  the  Slalcn 
Island  cagcrs  took  a  3.^>-28  halliime 
lead,  increased  li  lo  ,17-44  in  the  third 
period,  and  rolled  up  a  27-13  tally 
for  the   final  session. 

The  Shore  cagcrs  were  ouiscorcd 
from  the  floor  19  lo  30  and  sank 
19  of  32  free  tosses,  while  the  Sca- 
hawlu  were  24  for  37  from  the  foul 
line. 

Once  again  Capt.  Samcle  was  high 
man  for  the  Sho'men  wilh  iwenty- 
ihree  points  for  a  two-game  total  i>I 
fifty.  Danny  dropped  in  nine  two- 
iier.s  and  caged  five-for-hve  free 
fli]'.  Sisk  also  hit  double  figures, 
hipping  in  with  eleven  points.  Jim 
ner.  while  teammates  Ed  Mahala  and 
Don  Hancus  tallied  -17  and  14  rc- 
spcciively.

their  dates  marched  up  to  the  throne 
where  Bill  Tructh,  past  vice-president,

Queen  for  1 953.  A  robe  of  maroon 
velvet  trimmed  in  silver,  which  had 
been  especially  made  for  the  occasion, 
was  used  in  the  coronation.  Harvey

Sii^ma  Kappa"  after  the  processional. 

Delores,  a  transfer  student  from 
the  University  of  Puerto  Rico,  hails 
from  New  York.  She  is  in  the  junior

To  Appear  Here 

The  concert  and  assembly  of  March 
18  and  19  will  feature  Emily  Frankel 
and  Mark  Ryder  the  well  acclaimed 
dance  duo.  They  will  perform  a  med- 
ley   of    interprative    "dance    drama". 

fheir  program  will  include  a  dance 
diict  to  the  much  of  Bach,  an  inter- 
pretation of  Duke  Ellington's  music 
entitled  "The  Killer",  Ballad  of  The 
False  Lady,  an  Old  English  Folk 
Song,  The  Irresistible  Force  by  M. 
Shcinkman,  which  is  a  story  of  a

man into  a  creature  like  himself  and 
a  number  entitled  "Haunted  Mo- 
ments", which  is  a  humorous  fan- 
tasy  of   people    and   sounds. 

Following  the  intermission,  Friday 
night,  Frankel  and  Ryder  will  bring 
their  performance  to  a  climax  by 
presenting  an  interpretation  of  the 
Bible  Story  of  Jacob  with  music  by 
E.  Bloch.  The  dance  is  done  in  two 
scenes,  "and  in  the  evening  Jacob 
was  given  his  bride"  and  "bui 
the  morning,  when  he  looked  at 
face  of  his  beloved,  behold  it 
Leah!" 

Concerning  the  performance  of 
Frankel  and  Ryder,  critics  have  stated 
"Miss  Frankel  and  Mr.  Ryder  create 
a  simplicity  and  excitement  which  en- 
ables both  the  general  public  as  well

gram. They  are  a  wholesome  young 
couple  with  a  message  as  well

This  Sidney  Howard  play,  which 
has  scored  several  successes  since  its 
initial    appearand 

December,  1926,  is  a  finely  construct- 
ed drama,  provocative  in  theme, 
charged  with  emotion,  containing  sev- 
eral devices  which  are  "theatrical" 
in  the  best  sense  of  that  ambiguous 
word. 

The  "silver  cord",  which  gives  the 
play  its  title,  may  be  taken  as  an 
euphemism  for  the  umbilical  cord 
which  still  connects,  figuratively,  the 
domineering  Mrs,  Phelps  with  her 
Iwo    sons. 

Mr.  Howard  uses  his  play  as  a 
sharp  scalpel  with  which  to  probe 
into  and  expose  to  the  audience's 
horrified  gaze  the  more  virulent  symp- 
toms of  that  pecularly  American  dis- 
ease, for  which,  years  later,  Philip 
Wylie  was  to  invent  the  name,  "mom- 
mism". 

This  pathetic  mother-worship  which 
has  been  carried  so  far  in  this  country 
*hai  we  now  have  an  annual  holy  day 
foi  paying  nation-wide  reverancc  to 
Mother,  is  proof  that  some  of  the. 
•charges  levelled  against  Mrs.  Phelps 
by  her  biologist  daughter-in-law  are 
firmly  grounded  on  the  truth. 

That  a  virtue,  when  carried  to  an 
excess  becomes  a  vice,  including  that 
Widely  celebrated  virtue,  mother-love, 
'*  demonstrated  with  painful  clarity 
"I  "The  Silver  Cord",  which  shows 
how  an  over-protective  mother  can 
feduee  a  .aon  to  a  contemptible  cari- 


cature of  manhood,  by  draining  him 
of  his  last  vestige  of  independence, 
by  sapping  his  ^vill  power,  and  be- 
clouding his  powers  of  judgement. 
The  play,  which  depends  for  its 
New  York  in '  success  to  so  great  an  extent  upon 
the  leading  character,  Mrs.  Phelps,  is 
carried  with  admirable  skill  and  dex- 
terity by  Joanne  Cusack, 

To  play  so  demanding  and  so  un- 
sympathetic a  role  is  a  real  challenge 
to  an  amateur  actress,  particularly 
to  one  so  young  as  Miss  Cusack.  But 
the  latter  met  the  challenge  splendidly 
and  infused  the  character  with  such 
verisimilitude  that  it  was  only  by  an 
effort  that  the  observer  could  re- 
member that  this  was  not  a  bitter, 
middle-aged  woman  who  was  rcveal- 
'    selfish    and    unlovely    nature 


ing 

before    him. 

While  Miss  Cusack  deserves  a  spec- 
ial  orchid,  since  hers  was  the  largest 
and  most  difficult  part,  it  should  be 
emphasized  that  her  success  was  to 
no  small  extent  due  to  an  able  sup- 
porting   cast. 

Pat  Neighbor,  a.s  the  mature  and 
clear-eyed  daughter-in-law,  and  {to 
n  lesser  degree)  Barbara  C.  Jones,  as 
the  fiance  of  the  spineless  younger 
son,  gave  a  good  account  of  them- 
selves. 

Miss  Jones  faltered  at  times,  but 
it  should  be  said  that  in  those  scenes 
which  made  the  greatest  demands 
upon  her,  she  was  more  than  ade- 
quate. 

In  the  moments  of  emotional  crisis, 

as    at    the    end    of    Act    I,    Scene    2,

In  the  past,  an  athlete  became 
eligible  for  membership  upon  earning 
his  second  varsity  letter.  These  letters 
could  be  earned  in  two  difTcreni 
sports  or  both  in  the  same  sport  over 
two  years.  However,  in  a  recenl 
meeting,  the  members  voted  to  raise 
the  requirement  for  membership  lo 
three  varsity  letters.  There  was  no 
change  in  the  manner  in  which  the 
letters    may    be    earned. 

The  purpose  of  this  additional  let- 
ter was  two-fold.  First,  it  is  hoped 
that  by  this  they  will  encourage  more 
participants  to  take  part  in  athletic 
teams  on  campus.  Second,  gainine 
membership  will  be  a  greater  honor 
to  the  athlete  himself  and  a  credit 
to  Washington  College.

Saturday, 


On  the  basis  of  public  opinion  and 
statistics,  Washington  College  has 
launched  successfully  it's  first  Relig- 
ious Emphasis  Day.  On  Tuesday, 
March  10,  students  attended  the 
morning  services  at  the  Episcopal, 
Methodist,  Catholic  and  Lutheran 
churches.  Breakfast  was  served  at  the 
parish  houses  at  the  Episcopal,  Meth- 
odist, and  Catholic  groups.  Each  club 
held  a  discussion  or  received  a  speech 
on  some  phase  of  the  main  topic, 
"Rrligoin,  the  Student,  and  World 
Peace", 

Choir  Sings 

At  the  genera!  meeting  al  11:00 
o'clock,  each  one  of  the  religious 
groups  summarized  the  content  of 
thr-ir  morning  discussions.  Then  the 
W.C.  choir,  under  the  direction  of 
Dr.  Frank  Erk,  rendered  three  hymns 
entitled:  "Praise  Ye  the  Lore!".  "Holy 
Art   Thou",   and    "My  God   and   I." 

"One  God"  was  the  name  and 
central  theme  of  the  movie  presented 
at  2:00  P.M.  The  ways  of  worship 
were  explained  and  illustrated  in  the 
Jewish,  Catholic  and  Protestant  ways. 
Couch    Speaks 

At  3:30  P.M.  a  Tea  was  given 
in  Reid  Hall,  The  conclusion  of  the 
activities  was  the  Banquet  in  Hodson 
Hall.  The  speaker  was  the  Rev.  Waller 
T.  Gouch  of  Johns  Hopkins  Univei- 
sity.  His  talk  was  also  centered  around 
"Religion,  the  Student,  and  World 
Peace",  Father  Gouch  spoke  of  the 
joining  of  different  religious  groups 
in  an  endeavor  to  find  a  world  peace. 
He  also  emphasized  the  fact  that 
college  '  students  should  have  more 
knowledge  of  their  respective  religions. 

Most  of  the  credit  is  to  be  given 
to  the  general  chairman  of  the  day, 
Thomas  Hofstelier.  The  faculty  and 
clergy  too  did  all  in  their  power 
lo  make  it  the  success  that  it  was. 
Mrs.  F.  G.  Livingood  and  Mrs,  Arlo 
H.  Brown  were  in  charge  of  refresh- 
ments for  the  Tea,  And  lastly,  the 
students  who  worked  on  the  different 
committees:  Tony  Tonian,  Attend- 
ance; Bob  Appleby,  Arrangement: 
Mary  Lcc  Lincoln,  Music;  Joan  Va- 
nik, Publicity:  Herb  Turk,  Statistics; 
Spence  Latham  and  Bill  Russell.

lated on  a  job  well  done.

A  Letter  To 
The  Editor 

To   the   Editor  of  the  Elm: 

On  behalf  of  the  Committee, 
I  should  like  to  take  this  oppor- 
tunity to  thank  publicly,  all  those 
persons  who  helped  us  to  make 
.our  first  day  of  Religious  Em- 
phasis a  successful  and  stimulat-

from  a  moving  object  down  on  the

not  a  ghost!  It's  Just  Tom  taking  up

Choristers 
Take  To  Road 


Now  that  the  basketballs  are  de- 
flated, the  uniforms  stored  away  in 
moth  balls,  and  the  record  books 
closed,  everyone  can  turn  to  the  com- 
ing spring  sports  and  forecast  the 
conference  winners.   But  wait! 

Let's  look  back  at  the  cage  sport 
a  moment.  As  wt  hip  the  pages  of 
the  Elm,  we  read  the  names  of  high 
scorers  Samele,  Bergen  and  Sisk.  The 
fine  play  of  Hesse,  Tillcy,  and  all 
the  rest  was  mentioned,  but  nothing 
was  written  of  a  little  man  who  guided 
the  team  through  many  hardships. 

He  is  the  student  who  arranged 
the  uniforms  before  the  games,  carried 
the  medicine  kit  and  balls,  kept  score, 
ran  errands,  accounted  for  all  valu- 
ables, and  gathered  first  names  and 
totals  for  the  newspaper.  Nothing  was 
written  of  this  valuable  cog  in  the 
flying  pentagon — Tom  Hedderman — 
whose  services  on  the  hardwood  term- 
inates this  year.  Tom  has  done  an- 
other outstanding  job  this  season  as 
he  did  last  year,  Nice  goini;   "Hctz". 

And    if    anyone    happens    to    sec    a 


Senior  Of 
The  Week

John  Grim  as  senior  of  the  week. 
Since  John  arrived  at  Washington 
College  he  has  taken  an  active  inter- 
est in  many  extra-curricular  activities 
campus  and  has  shown  thai  his 
last  name  is  certainly  no  renection 
on  his  personality.  He  has  proven  his 
ability  for  leadership  and  setting 
things  done  efficiently  and  effectively. 
He    hails   from    Catonsvillc,    where 


'Flashlight  Caught' 

By  The  Night  Watchman 


Crammed  into  a  38  seat  bus,  46 
choir  members  plus  Dr.  Erk  and  Dr. 
Gibson,  left  Washington  College  for 
Salisbury  on  March  5.  The  choir  was 
in  vjrai  spirits  and  rchf.-arscd  not  onlv 
their  own  numbers,  but  several  others, 
all  slightly  ofT  key.  Upon  arriving 
at  Wicomico  High  School  they  all 
wondered  if  they  were  able  to  put 
tn  their  program,  due  to  the  hoarse 
voices. 

After  the  risers  were  set  up,  thi 
choir,  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Erk, 
ran  throuch  several  numbers  and 
found  that  ihe  trip  hadn't  harmed 
ih-ir    golden    tones. 

The  performance  was  "inspiring"  to 
quote  Dr.  Erk,  .ind  many  of-  the 
faculty  and  students  of  Wicomico 
Hich  School  hearitly  agreed  with 
him. 

At   the   conclusion   of  the    program 
(here   was  a   mad  dash  for  the  front 
hool   where   all  46  members 
choir  attempted   to  board   the 
one  time   in  order  to  proceed 
■a   h'ld   at    the   Saltsbur>'  State 
College.   Upon  arrival  they

livities  throughout  the  cam- 


he  attended  Catonsville  High.  While 
in  high  school  he  was  on  the  lacrosse 
team  four  years,  soccer  team  two 
years  and  served  as  Student  Council 
president. 

In  the  sport's  field  John  was  on 
the  sorcer  team  four  years  and  was 
captain  of  this  year's  team.  He  is 
starting  his  fourth  season  on  the  la- 
crosse team,  of  which  he  is  also  cap- 
tain. 

John  was  class  president  in  his 
sophomore  year  as  well  as  in  his 
senior  year. 

As  a  member  of  Kappa  Alpha 
Order  he  now  serves  as  secrctar>'-  His 
contributions  in  the  field  of  journal- 
ism at  Washington  CoUcsie  consist 
of  working  as  news  editor  of  the  Elm 
and  sports  editor  of  the  Pegasus. 

Last  year,  in  recognition  of  his 
achievements  and  Icadenhip  in  the 
activties  mentioned  above  John  was 
elected  to  the  national  honor  fra- 
ternity, Omicron  Delta  Kappa.  This 
year  he  won  further  recognition  when 
he  was  named  to  Who's  Who  In 
.American    Colleges    and    Universities 

This  year^ohn  spent  a  lot  of  tinn

Mrs.  Wellcm,  just  what  is  this  very 
strange  possession  of  Bob  Appleby's 
which    you    so    ardently    admire? 

Warning^to  whom  it  may  con- 
cern: 

J.  Grcss,  notorious  polygandrist,  is 
rumored  to  be  in  this  area.  All  fra- 
ternity men  should  check  their  pins 
in  the  nearest  safe  deposit  box  and

Ouote  of  the  week:  "During  the 
(ourse  of  the  semester  we  are  sched- 
u\vi\  to  play  14  games,  by  and  large,

Lipsitz,  was  it  really  the  snow  that 
kept  you  all  night  at  the  shack  on 
Daisy  Road  last  Saturday  night? 

Why  was  John  Richey  giving  every- 
one a  free  shave  last  Monday  night? 
I  suppose  the  20  whUkcy  sours  had 
a   lot   to  do   with    it, 

Cora  Lee  is  certainly  getting  some 
very  interesting  advertisements  these 
days.

John  Foo  really  believes  in  doing 
things  right.  When  he  takes  a  shower, 
he   really  takes  one! 

Hey,  Ben,  that  was  quite  a  send-off 
party  for.  Bernic.  Sure  had  all  the 
necessary  ingredients  for  a  bang-up 
party :  the  right  people,  the  right 
beverages    and    the    right   atmosphere. 

Anybody  else  hear  about  Suzie 
Schultz  and  her  "naughty,  but  nice" 
performances,    down   at    the   Armory? 

From  the  looks  of  things,  Reid  Hall

than  they  normally  arc — seems  the 
place  is  slowly  but  surely  bccomine

Interesting    little    tidbit ''picked 
in    the    classroom:     If    your    foresight 
were  as  good  as  your  hindsight,  you'd 
be  better  off  by  a  damn  sight!   How 
true,   how   true! 

And  did  everybody  enjoy  the  cute 
little  ballet  dancers  at  the  "Mardi- 
gras"  last  night?  Sweet,  weren't  they? 

Have  fun  over  the  vacation,  kiddies 
— get  those  term  papers  and  book 
reports  done.  Remember — -with  tht 
first  signs  of  spring  also  come 
first  signs  of  beach  parlies  and  pic- 
nics— and  we  mustn't  be  bothered 
with  little  things  like  term  papers 
then!!

at  the  end  of  Act  III,  all  thf« 
of  the  actresses  were  genuinely  mov- 
ing and  effective. 

The  male  parts,  played  by  Don 
Steynen,  as  David  the  older,  and  Ken 
Murray,  as  the  younger  son,  art 
designedly  so  much  weaker  that  ihii 
reviewer  had  some  difficulty  in  derid- 
ing whether  the  occasional  weaknca 
of  the  playing  was  purposefully  madr 
so  to  suit  the  roles  or  lay  rather 
in  the  histrionic  inadequacies  of  tb 
actors. 

Presumably  it  is  harder  to  pLny  ' 
weak  than  a  strong  character,  whidi 
is  partly  the  reason  why  Messrs.  Slcv- 
ncn  and  Murray  were  ovcrshadoi^'''^ 
by  their  female  counterparts  both  ^ 
actors  and    as   "people." 

Jane  Bradley  and  Jack  Daniel  ^^ 
serve  praise  for  their  directing,  '"''

and  the  stage  crew  showed  real 
in  rapidly  transforming  the  ii 
quatc  stage  from  a  living  room 
bedroom  scene,  and  back  again. 

All   in  all,  the  Wbshington    PI 
have  reason  to  feel  well  pleased 
themselves,  and  their  audience  should 
be  grateful  for  an  opportunity

Kihler  Begins  36th  Year  As  Washington  Coach 


In  The  PRESSBOX 

(With  BUI  Murray) 


11    NETMEN  VIE 
With  the  loss  of  such  stars  as  Jai  k  Smith  and  Bruce  WyckoIT. 
iliL-  tennis  team  is  definitely  rebuilding  for  1953,  as  is  the  lanossc 
squad. 

Three  lettermen,  returning  from  last  year's  team,  which  had 
an  8-2  record,  are  Captain  Bill  Murray,  Tony  Tonian,  and  jerry 
Lanibdin.  These  men,  with  experience  behind  ihem,  should  play 
outstanding  matches. 

At  this  early  date  it  is  hard  to  predict  who  will  fill  the  remain- 
ing positions  on  the  team. 

However,  Les  Bell  has  shown  experience  and  finesse  so  far 
and  is  a  possible  starter.  Other  leading  nctmen  tiying  for  the 
remaining  positions  are  Don  Maryott,  Bruce  McHatton  and  Karty 
Ward.  Other  newcomers  out  for  positions  are  Howard  Davis,  Stan 
Kaufman,  George  Hanst  and  Bill  Winterling. 

With  good  weather  expected  soon,  the  team  should  be  in  top 
shape  when  they  open  against  Loyola  on  April  8. 

STIGKMEN  OPTIMISTIC  ' 

It  seems  clear  to  this  reporter  that  the  1953  Washington  College 
lacrosse  team  is  rebuilding  this  year  and  evidence  of  its  strength 
will  present  itself  in  the  scrimmage  against  Maryland  University 
today. 

To  get  a  composite  picture  of  this   "rebuilding  process",   we 

examine  the  team  by  its  four  main  segments,  namely.  Attack, 
Midfield,  Defense,  and  Goal. 

Veterans  out  for  the  attack  positions  are  Bob  Lipsitz,  able 
performer  from  last  year's  attack,  and  Chuck  \^'aesche,  up  from 
last  year's  alternate  midfield.  Additional  help  is  expected  from  Mic- 
ky DiMaggio,  Jack  Dail   and  Spencer  Latham. 

The  midfield  is  headed  by  Co-Captain  John  Grim  who  Coach 
Clark  calls  "one  of  the  best  face-off  men  in  college  play  for  the 
past  three  seasons."  Other  men  fighting  for  midfield  positions  are 
George  Hesse,  John  Howard,  Joe  Deem,  Ed  Bair,  Chuck  Cov- 
ington. Stan  Goldstein  and  Bob  Appleby. 

Veteran  Dick  Weller  leads  the  defense  contingent  this  year. 
Other  men  trying  out  for  defense  positions  are  Jcrr^-  Prout,  from 
last  year's  squad,  and  Dick  Norris.  Extra  support  is  expected  from 
lack  Jennings,  Tom  Halley,  Don  Steynan  and  Bill  Barnett. 

Go-Captain  Bill  Russell,  after  being  handicapped  by  a  bad 
mkle  last  year,  is  expected  to  be  at  his  peak  this  year.  Reserve 
strength  for  the  goalie  position  is  expected  from  Frank  Dickey,  Jack 
Hunter  and  John    Parker. 


M.V.P.  Award  To  Samele 


With  a  total  of  526  points   in   24 

mcs,  Washington's  Danny  Samele

DANNY    SAMELE 
Voted    most    valuable    player    in 
Mason-Dixon    Conference, 

given  fo  Sho'man  Jumping  Jack  Ber- 
gen for  his  consistent  scoring  punch 
throui;hout  the  '52-'53  season.  Jack 
threw  a  total  of  337/  points  through 
the  hoop  in  1 9  league  games  for  a 
brilliant  17.7  average,  fifth  high  aver- 
age in  the  Mason-Dixon  Conffrcnce. 
His  total  number  of  points,  337,  was 
overshadowed  by  his  teammate,  Sam- 
who  led  all  players  with  525 
points. 

The  cranky  head  of  a  huge  store 
was  making  his  annual  inspection  of 
the  help.  When  he  came  to  the  daven- 
port, day  bed,  couch  and  double-bed 
department  he  cast  a  cold  eye  over 
the  salesmen,  then  said :  "Well,  I 
must  say  you  men  look  well  rested!" 


The   Washington  College  net   team 
faces  a   formidable    13-game  schedule 
is  spring. 

Two  matches  are  scheduled  against 
Catholic  University,  who  have  won 
55  straight  matches  against  college 
competition.  Last  year  they  beat  W.C. 
o  2.  Veteran  players  returning 
for  the  Cardinals  are:  Tom  Free- 
man, Tom  Browning,  Jack  Hennessey, 
Steve     McManus     and     Juan     Lopez. 

joach   Dorsavagr's  outfit  will   be    the 

cam    to   beat   this  spring. 
On  April  25  the  tennis  team  journ- 

ys  to  Baltimore  to  play  Johns  Hop- 
kins. Last  year  Johns  Hopkins  won 
the  Northern  Division  of  the  Mason- 
Di.\on  Conference  by  edging  out  the 
Washington  College  Tennis  team  5 
to    4. 

Another  formidable  opponent  this 
spring  will  be  Western  Maryland, 
rt-ho  will  be  looking  for  revenge  after 
:heir  6  to  2  defeat  List  year  lo  Wash- 
ington College.  Henry  Tait  is  the  up 
ind  coming  star  at  Western  Maryland 
iccording  to  Dr.  Hurt,  the  Western 
Maryland  tennis  coach.  Last  year 
ry  played  at  the  number  four 
position  but  is  a  cinch  for  number 
1     or    2     this    year. 

Randolph-Macon  rings  down 
Washington  College  tennis  schedule 
for  1953  when  they  pKiy  W.C.  on 
May  9.  Randolph-Macon  should  pro- 
vid.;  plenty  of  trouble  as  they  finished 
second  in  the  Southern  Division  o\ 
the  Mason-Dixon  Conference  righi 
behind  C.U. 

Other  matches  are  scheduled  againsi 
Baltimore  University,  Ml.  St.  Mary's 
Loyola,  Wilson  Teachers,  and  Tow- 
son.  The  tennis  team  beat  those  teams 
last  year  by  the  respective  scores 
9-0  (twice),  8-1,  7-3  (twice,  5-4  and 
8-1.

By   Hugh    Delano  . 

When  Washington  College  opens 
its  1953  baseball  season  against  Balti- 
more U.  on  April  2,  it  will  mark 
the  36lh  year  that  Coach  Tom  Kiblcr 
has  handled  a  Sho'  team. 

Coach  Kiblcr,  who  was  Athletic 
Director  at  the  college  prior  lo  his 
retirement  in  1947,  returned  to  the 
W.C.  campus  last  spring  to  revive 
basi-ball.  With  such  an  experienced 
man  at  the  reigns,  the  Sho'mcn  won 
seveti  out  of  the  last  nine  games  of 
the  '52  campaign,  but  fell  short  of 
.1  playoff  berth.  An  experienced  and 
powerful  team  is  expected  this  year, 
as  the  team  preps  for  its  opener  with 
the    Bees. 

With  a  week's  practice  under  their 
belts  following  workouts  in  the  gym, 
the  Shore  nine  is  slowly  working  into 
shape  under  the  watchful  eye  of 
Coach  Kibler.  However,  starting  posi- 
tions are  undetermined  but  the  squad 
boasts  a  number  of  returnees  from 
last  season  plus  some  promising  fresh- 
men  candidates. 

Heading  the  list  of  returning  play- 
ers arc  Third-baseman  John  Santulli, 
shortstop  Danny  Samele,  second- 
sacker  Doug  Tillcy,  catcher  Wes  Ed- 
wards and  outfielders  Johnny  Minnich 
and    Rod    Ware. 

The  infield  is  fairly  well  set  with 
Santulli,  a  heavy  hitter  at  third  while 
Samele  and  Tillcy  combine  to  give 
Kibler  a  smooth  double  play  combin- 
ation. Both  should  hold  their  own 
in  the  hitting  department,  Tilley  bat- 
ting at  a  .340  clip  during  the  '52 
season.  At  first  base,  Joe  Syzmanski 
is  making  a  bid  lo  win  a  strating  spot. 
Elsewhere  around  the  infield  Dick 
Travcrs,  Dean  Wood,  Bob  Martell, 
Herman  Schmidt,  and  Shelly  Badcr 
arc  among  the  hopefuls  who  are  light- 
ing for  a  crack  at  starting  berths. 

Heading  the  list  of  outfielders  are 
Ware     and     Minnich,     both     polished 
players   and   holdovers   from   last   sea- 
son.    Minnich     displayed     some     fine 
stickwork  in    1952  and  Ware,  a  good 
clutch  performer,  is  fast  and  possesses 
strong  throwing  arm. 
The    outfield    should    be    bolstered 
by  several  other  promising  candidates 
including      Tommy      Bounds,      Roger 
Ed     Cinaglia,     Bill     Warner, 
Wayne     Gruehn     and     Dave     Jacobs. 
To    date,    Jacobs    has    shown    plenty 
of  power  and  the  freshman  looms  as 
potential  heavy  hitter  for  the  Kib- 
ler-coached   nine. 

Such  performers  as  Bob  Sullivan 
Ronnie  Sisk,  George  Catterton,  Sieve 
McHalc,  Bob  Powell,  Bud  Kelling  and 
Leo  GilHs  should  give  the  Shoremen 
a  top  hurling  staff.  AH  are  freshmen. 
Behind  the  plate,  Wes  Edwards  re- 
turns and  should  rate  the  inside 
track  for  a  first-string  post.  Wes 
understudied  John  Wilson  last  season 
and  has  a  strong  arm.  Freshmen  Jun- 
ior Evcrsole  and  Jimmy  Edwards,  both 
back  up  Wes  and  should  give  him 
a  strong   battle   for   starting   work. 

In  brief,  it  would  seem  that  the 
Sho'mcn  have  the  material  for  a  good 
season.  The  squad  has  potential  hit- 
ting power,  the  infield  is  strong,  and 
Kibler  has  several  promising  hurlcrs 
who  should  develop.  However,  the 
team  \vill  undoubtedly  miss  the  loss 
of  Steve  Mastrianna  and  Bucky  Du- 
gan.  Mastrianna  held  down  first  base 
in  "52  and  injected  a  good  deal  of 
power  into  the  lineup,  while  Dugan 
was  one  of  the  top  freshman  prospects. 


Rich  man's  son:  "Father,  what  i 
this  strange  power  that  I  have  ovo 
women?" 

Father:    "As   of   ll 
$9,836,642.69." 


Asked  the   teacher,  "What  arc  the 
people   of   Los   Angeles   noted   for?" 

For    their    stupidity,"  .came    the

THE  WASHINGTON  ELM 


SATURDAY,  MARCH  14,  1953 


Freshmen  Prospects 


One  of  the  funnicil  characters  ever 
to  appear  on  W.C.  cnmpus  is  Jack 
Jennings,  of  Annapolis,  M.irylancl. 
"Mule's  sense  of  humor  togclher  wilh 
his  athletic  ability  have  made  him 
popular  with  both  sexes. 

Brcause  of  his  200  pounds  and  5 
feet,  ll-inch  frame.  Jack  was  asked 
by  his  Annapolis  High  School  coach. 
Jim  Wcthcrhold,  to  try  oiii  for  the 
vanity  football  squad.  In  his  hrsi 
season  of  compelition  as  a  sopho- 
more, "Mule"  earned  the  first  strine; 
fiuaxicrback  position  and  led  his  team 
10  second  place  in  conference.  Because 
i.l  .1  fairly  consistent  jump  shot.  Jack 
c.imed  a  starling  guard  position  on 
the  court  team.  Strong  defensive  as- 
siirnmi-nls  were  given  to  Mule  through- 
nut  the  vear,  and  the  final  league 
standings  showed  Annapolis  High  in 
third  place. 

In   the  sprint;   while   still    a  sopho- 


more, Jack  turned  his  attention  to 
baseball  and  because  of  his  strong 
throwing  arm,  tried  out  for  catcher. 
It  wasn't  long  before  Jack  developed 
into  an  experienced  receiver  wilh  an 
accurate  arm.  By  his  senior  yeai  he 
was  one  of  the  most  versatile  athletes 
Annapolis  High  had  ever  produced, 
for  he  continued  playing  all  three 
sports  until  graduation. 

Currently  a  Sho"  freshman.  Jack 
has  high  hopes  of  remaining  a  thite 
letter  man,  (or  he  haS"  just  completed 
a  season  of  vairsity  soccer,  and  J-V. 
basketball.  Now  that  lacrosse  training 
has  arrived,  Jack  has  donned  a  helmet 
and  lacro-w  stick  as  one  of  Charley 
Clark's  defensive  charges. 

Economic  Geography  is  his  major 
while    business    runs    a    close    second 

Last  month  he  accepted  a  bid  to 
the  Theta  Chi  Fraternity,  along  with 
jis  Annapolis  buddy,   Hesse    Howard. 


Cindermen 
Lack  Depth 


W.C.  Host  To 
Track  Meet 


Dispiic  the  pitiful  condition  of  the 
track  and  the  rough,  trackless  run- 
ways to  the  jumping  pit,  the  track 
hopefuls  arc  doing  their  best  to  con- 
dition themselves  for  the  April  1 1 
opener  against  the  powerful  Baltimore 
Olympic   Club. 

During  the  past  week  the  team 
has  been  hard-hit,  especially  by  the 
loss  of  shot  putter  and  discus  thrower 
Jack  Bergen.  Bucky  Dugan,  who  was 
an  II  foot  pole-vaultcr  was  lost  to 
the  team  and  the  baseball  squad  is 
suffering  from  his  absence  just  as 
much  as  the  thinclads. 

In  addition  to  this,  several  of  the 
candidates  who  reported  during  the 
fir^t  week  have  voluntajity  dropped 
from  the  squad.  Among  the  newcom- 
ers, Murray  Hardeman  had  been  par- 
ticularly impressive  during  the  past 
week,  but  may  be  lost  due  to  academic 
difficulties!  However.  Coach  Howie 
Nesbitt  has  been  preping  the  remain- 
ing cindcrkidters  for  the  coming  7- 
mcet  schedule. 

The  team  will  rely  heavily  on  half- 
milcrs  George  Eichelberger  and  Lew 
Buckley,  plus  two  promising  sprinters 
— Slu  Young  and  Barry  Phillips. 
Hurdler  Terry  Johnson  is  rounding 
into  fine  shape  along  with  distance 
thnats  Joe  Keller,  Bcmie  Thomas, 
Floyd  Bassett,  John  Mead,  and  John 
Murdock.  Sprinter  Joe  PokiYywka 
has  shown  much  speed  in  early  season 
workouts  along  with  Herb  Turk,  who 
lost  several  days  with  a  bad  leg. 

Joe  Leporace  and  Dave  Humphries 
round  out  the  group  which  has  been 
diligently  working  during  the  past 
two^  weeks. 

The  squad's  weak  point  seems  to 
be  in  the  weight  events  and  the  jumps. 
Those  who  are  out  now  will  be  given 
a  crack  at  these  events  in  ordci 
develop  any  fKitcntial  ability  which 
may  show  up.  Howard  Smith,  who 
threw  the  discus  in  "52,  has  not  re- 
ported due  to  a  recent  appendectomy, 
and  will  be  sidelined  the  rest  of  the 
icajon. 

Relay  races  were  held  last  Satur- 
day, with  special  running  events 
scheduled    for  today- 


Washington  College  will  play  host 
to  the  second  annual  Eastern  Shoie 
High  School  track  and  field  meet  on 
May   9. 

This,  meet  was  also  sponsored  by 
Washington  last  year  and  it  turned 
out   to   be   a  very   successful   venture, 

th  representation  from  nearly  a'l 
the  near-by  schools. 

There  will  be  three  medals  awarded 
n  each  event  for  the  first,  secon  d 
and- third  places,  plus  a  trophy  which 
;oes   to   the    winning    team. 

On  this  day  there  will  also  be  an 
'All  College'  program.  All  high 
school  seniors  are  cordially  invited  to 
the  W.C.  campus,  watch  the 
track  meet,  and  then  see  the  baseball 
game  with   Randolph-Macon. 

The  track  meet  will  begin  at  1  P.M. 

id  the  b^eball  game  is  scheduled 
for   3.

Play  Here 


■Daphne  Helman  is  a  find.  A 
spright-like  English  beauty,  she  plays 
the  harp,  flitting  from  something 
Malaguena  to  swing  and  boogie  with 
the  ease  of  a  master-"  Thus  the  Thea- 
tre Program  Magazine  describes  the 
feature  of  the  last  concert  in  the 
College  Community  Series  to  be  held 
Friday,  April  24,  in  William  Smith 
Hall   at  8:30   p.m. 

Miss  Hellman  has  been  trained  as 
a  classical  harpist  since  the  age  ot 
twelve,  but  in  playing  for  friends  at 
home  and  for  G.I.'s  during  the  war, 
she  became  equally  expert  in  mixing 
classical  and  popular.  Now  she  has 
become  symbolized  with  the  term 
"  Brom    Bach    to    Boogie    Woogie." 

The  Friday  night  program  will  in. 
elude  Tchaikowsky's  "Nutcrackei 
Suite",  several  Strauss  waltzes,  the 
Hungarian  Rhapsody  by  Liszi,  a  med- 
ley of  Gershwin  music  and  populai 
songs  of  today  including  her  famous 
■■Boogie  Woogie." 

Esquire  Magazine  says  about  Miss 
Hellman — "Like  sunlight  after  sha- 
dow, she  wings  into  solid  rhythmu 
more  commonly  associated  with  boogie 
piano  than  the  ethereal  instrument 
.  .  .  Raphne  Hellman  first  stuns  the 
audience  with  the  shock  of  the  un- 
expected .  ,  ,  she  introduces  her  num- 
bers— kids  the  audience,  herself,  and 
the  harp", 

NOTICE

IN  REVERBERATION 

To  the  Student-Faculty  Disciplinary  Committee: 

I  have  read  your  Letter  to  the  Editor  which  appears  in  an- 
other column  on  this  page. 

It  hurt  me  deeply  when  you  expressed  die  opinion  that  the 
Washington  Elm  condoned  academic  dishonesty.  However,  since 
you  have  brought  out  the  names  of  Mastrianna  and  Dougan  and 
since  you  have  accused  the  Elm  of  printing  a  discrimatory  cartoon 
(which  mentioned  no  names  whatsoever),  I  gatljer  that  you  want 
the  entire  Mastrianna-Dougan  case  printed  in  the  school  paper. 

The  Elm  has  ahvays  supported  the  Student  Council  and  will 
be  glad  lo  cooperate.  Not  only  uill  I  be  glad  to  print  the  case, 
but  perhaps  the  student  whom  you  feel  the  Elm  discriminated 
against  would  like  to  speak  in  his  own  behalf. 

In  this  way  the  entire  student  body  may  judge  this  cartoon 
(which  mentioned  nn  names  whatsoever),  and  offer  opinions  as  to 
whether  you  were  right  in  judging  it  "Inconsiderate  and  unsub- 
stantiated." 

.Mways  glad  to  cooperate,  I  remain 

Sincerely  yours,

THE  ELM 
Washington  College 
Chestertown,  Maryland 
Dear  Sir: 

As  an  aftermath  of  disciplinary  ac 
tion  taken  in  the  Mastrianna-Dougan 
case,  the  ELM  displayed  a  cartoon  in 
its  last  edition  which  the  members  of 
the  Student-Faculty  Disciplinary'  Com- 
mit lee  felt  to  be  inconsiderate  and 
unsubstantiated.  It  appeared  thai  not 
only  was  a  student  discriminated 
against  for  upholding  academic  prin- 
ciplcs,  but  that  academic  dishonesty 
was  condoned  by  your  newspaper. 

li  is  the  eamesi  desire  of  ihe  un- 
dersigned that  the  entire  student  body 
realizes  ihe  consequences  of  dishonest 
actions,  regardless  o£  the  circumstanc- 
es_  and  thai  narrow  and  biased  opin. 
ions  should  not  be  registered  against 
fellow  students.  The  work  of  ihe  ELM 
in  supporting  ihe  Sludeni  Council, 
its  aims,  and  its  functions  in  the 
past  has  been  greatly  appreciated.  It  is 


hnpcd   thai    this  cooperation  will  con- 
liniie.

So  Tliis 
Is  Bridge! 


Surely  nowhere  in  any  remote  ex- 
iremiiy  of  the  globe  can  there  be 
found  such  a  grand  conglomeration  ot 
Bridge  and  Bridge  players  as  we  pos- 
sess here  at  Washington  College.  We 
e  reduced  that  dignified  pastime 
a  new  all  time  low.  and  if  things 
linuc  at  Iheir  present  pace,  we 
may  be  responsible  for  its  complete 
disappearance  from  Ihe  American 
social  scene.  Even  though  Mr.  Culbert- 
son  wouldn't  approve  of  our  methods 
and  techniques,  we  spend  some  of  our 
most  enjoyable  hours  around  the 
Bridge  table. 

The  main  tournament  is  held  every 
Saturday  morning  during  the  winter 
in  the  Snack  Bar  from  nine  to  twelve. 
Here  the  college  e.xperts  gather  for 
the  real  test  after  many  practice  ses- 
sions following  lunch  and  dinner  in 
Hodson  Hall.  The  major  problem  is 
finding  at  least  one  expert  at  each  ta- 
ble who  knows  how  lo  keep  score. 
Needless  to  say,  the  scorekeepcr  and 
his   partner  invariably  win. 

Once  s(^ted,  the  game  is  onl  "Little 
Slam  Hetz"  and  "Blackwood"  Mur- 
ray arc  always  on  hand  and  consider 
themselves  quite  infallible.  "What's 
the  big  idea,  bidding  ihree  card  suits!" 
yells  Ihc  Birdman.  "Bu[  ii's  Jack 
high."  retorts  ihe  Hook.  And  ihc  bat- 
tle rages  on.  "I  still  say  no  one  can 
play  as  well  as  Tom,"  pipes  in  Mrs. 
Lowe,  busily  trying  to  improve  her 
game.  All  the  while  one  Hetty  Blan- 
ton is  running  around  pleading^  ','A 
couple  of  bandj  for  relaxation,  any- 
one?" 

At  ihe  next  table — ^"I'm  going  to 
stop  playing  wilh  you  if  you  ever 
leave  me  in  my  secondary  suit  again," 
threatens  \\'cs  Edwards  lo  some  lall 
blond.  In  Ihc  distance  we  hear  a 
\"ice  saying,  "We'll  take  two  tricks 
r^ir  that  mistake." 

Bobby  Lipsilz.  running  I  rue  to 
form,  opens  ihe  bidding  with  four 
spades,  ends  up  playing  the  hand  at 
ix  spades.  -Afier  taking  ihe  firsi  two 
Lfitks,  he  throws  the  olher  eleven 
fjrds  down  wilh,  "The  rest  arc  ours."

A  Run  Around  The  Track 


1  wish  to  openly  express  my  thanks 
to  ihosc  students  who  were  responsi- 
ble for  helping  to  prepare  the  Wash- 
ington College  track  for  the  dual  meel 
Saturday,  April  II. 

Ten  ambitious  students  did  a  job 
which  was  supposed  'o  be  done  by 
the  campus  groundkecpers  during 
Easter  vacation.  Not  only  did  they 
drag  the  track  eight  times,  but  they 
leveled  it.  scraped  it  and  irinimed  it 
so  ii  would  look  like  a  track  instead 
of  a  bealcn  Indian  paih  through  a 
green  field. 

The  cooperation  that  I  received 
from  those  who  were  supposed  to 
prepare  Ihe  Irack  long  ago  was  as 
large  as  some  of  the  scores  the  spring 
sporls  have  been  amassing— 0,  noih. 
ingi 

AVhai  does  Ihe  head  groundskeeper 
expect  the  track  team  to  run  on?  A 
mass  of  loose  cinders  and  hard  rocks? 
That's  what  the  irack  would  have 
been  composed  of  if  the  boys  hadn't 
worked  it  ihemselves. 

When    the   students   offered   to  roll 


the  track  themselves  if  the  roller  w. 
available,  their  offer  was  tufni;i] 
down.  The  track  was  rolled  thrc{ 
times  in  preparation  for  (he  Ba||j 
more  Olympic  Club  meet.  How  rtianv 
times  should  it  have  been  rolled?  ,\\ 
least  61 

It  secnis  that  ihe  groundkccpe,,

around!

Pinas  Given  Good  Rating 
By  Majority  Of  Students 


More  pinas  may  invade  W.C 

In  our  constant  endeavor 
prove  Ihc  health  and  food  situation 
at  AVashington  College,  we  have  tak- 
en a  cross  section  of  opinion  to  see 
if  Ihe  consensus  of  opinion  favors 
more  pinas. 

Most  of  the  people  quiered  were 
in  favor,  but  all  had  definite  opinions 
on  the  subject.  The  question  asked 
was;  "Do  you  believe  ihe  health  of  the 
siudenLs  could  be  improved  by  giving 
pinas    ihrec    limes    a    week?" 

Fred  Nfilienberger.  who  has  done 
extensive  research  in  chemistry,  says: 
"Due  to  fo<id  in  Htxison,  any  kind 
of  a  pina  would  undoubtedly  improve 
Ihe    health    of    ihc   student    body." 

Pete  Burbage  took  a  musician's 
point  of  view  when  he  replied:  "Yes,  I 
Ihink  so — the  use  of  pinas  is  absolute- 
ly necessary  to  the  physical  well  be- 
ing of  the  human  body.  In  music 
pinas  make  way  for  the  acquisition  of 
inierruptive  genius." 

Dr.  Livingood  was  very  emphatic 
when   he  asid:  "Nol! — I  don't  know." 

Ceorgc  Hesse  gave  us  the  lacrosse 
players  opinion  when  he  stated:  "It 
helps  the  lacrosse  player  run  eight 
laps    and    is    good    for    baseball    bats." 

Bill  Wright,  Ihe  North  East  Her- 
ring Snatcher,  says;  "From  my  past 
experiences  on  dates  at  the  B.  B.  I 
feci  sure  pinas  would  be  a  great 
help  in   solving  the  health   problem." 

Evie  Hamilton  seemed  delighted  to 
think  ihat  pinas  would  invade  W.  C. 
and  said:  "Nothing  is  better  than  bot- 
tled pinas." 

Bill  Wintcrling  was  startled  at  first 
by  ihe  question  but  afterward  stated: 
"I  don't  think  pinas  are  connected 
with  health." 


I      Jack     Dail    did    not     hcsiiate 

I  spoke  right  up  with:  "During  iht 
course  of  the  semester  indicaiionj 
point  lo  the  fact  that  lack  of  pinai 
has   caused    lack   of  student  acii 

Dr.  Erk  approached  the  probku 
with    the    caution    of   an    experienced 

I  biologist    and    siaied:    "One    of 
attributes   of    the   scieitist   is   evtrenit 
caution   before  making  any  concl 
slaiements." 

'     Sue    Samuels    went    into   a    Icngihf 
discussion    about    the    diet      an( 
companying  vegetables  that  should  be 
served   with   pinas  and   concluded  hti 
statement    wilh:    ".    .    ,    pinas    should 
be    served    with    sail,   not    pepper, 
only    salt   enhances    Ihe     flavor, 
ketchup  please,  it  ruins  it." 

I  When  Donna  Wood  was  asked  il 
she    thought    pinas    should    be 

[three    limes    a    week    to     improvi 
health   she   promptly   replied:   "1 
Definitely    noil    Do    you    know 
pinas  are?" 

Lee  Harrison  was  startled  by  tbt 
question  and  said:  "Giving  pinas  ihiee 
times    a    weekl    At    8:15," 

Bobby    Anderson    was    just    as 
prised  and  querried:  "Pinas  on  a  lull 
stomach??  Maybe  if  you  do  it  righi.' 
Anonymous:    "They   arc   fine    if  VW 
can  dunk  them  in  beer." 

Dr.  Black,  busy  supenjsing  te 
chemistry  students'  unpredictable  a 
pcriments.  had  lime  to  tell  us  liii 
opinion  of  pinas.  "Pinas,"  he  ."M, 
"We  don'i  monkey  around  with  pinH 
down  here." 

Now  thai  the  poll  has  been 
pleicd,  sludenis  may  expect  lo  finJ 
more  pinas  on  iheir  plates  in  Hodwo 
Hall.  But  we're  going  to  get  sick  and 
tired   of   so   many   pineapples.

By  The  Night  Watchman 


Could  the  person  whose  initials  are

Rutgers 
Prevails 


1  (By  Hugh  Delano) 
Journeying  north  to  Rutgers  last 
Saturday,  the  Washington  College  la- 
crosse squad  dropped  a  5-4  heart- 
breaker  to  a  hustling  Rutgers  ten  at 
.New  Brunswick.  It  was  the  fourth 
setback  in  six  starts  for  Coach  Charlie 
Clark's   Shore   siiekmcn. 

The  Rutgers  lads  parlayed  a  brace 
of  goals  midway  through  the  fourth 
quarter  to  pull  in  front  by 
score — a  margin  which  proved  enough 
for  the  win.  Washington  had  previ- 
ously held  2-0  and  4-3  leads. 

The  opening  stanza  saw  the  Sho'- 
men jump  to  a  two  goal  advantage  as 
Bob  Lipsitz  netted  a  pair  of  goals. 
However,  near  the  close  of  that  ses- 
sion, the  Scarlet  came  to  the  front 
with  scores  by  Ray  Marinclli  and 
Don  Stevens.  ■  ^ 

Neither  squad  could  hit  the  scor- 
ing column  in  the  second  period  as 
both  defenses  held  up  and  goalies 
Bill  Russell  and  Will  Howard  show- 
ed up  well. 

Tuesday,  April  14,  W.C.  I05C  aj  George  Hesse's  score  for  Washing, 
track  meet  to  Catholic  University  by  ton  made  the  count  3-2,  but  Stevens 
a  store  of  80-37.  deadlocked    it    again      for    the    home 

The  meet  was  run  in  spite  of  poor   team.     Captain    John    Grim    pui 

Clarkmcn  ahead  again  4-3  late  in  the 
quarter  on  a  screen  shot.  However, 
the  final  quarter  saw  Rutgers"  Stev- 
ens, who  collected  four  goals,  whip 
home  both  the  tying  and  winning 
markers.  Pete  Thomas  set  up  the 
deciding  score. 

Following  the  last  goal,  Russell, 
Shore  goalie,  was  injured  in  a  goal- 
mouth scramble  and  had  to  get  re- 
lief   from    John    Parker,

last  Friday  by  triumphing  over  a  de- 
termined Bridgewater  Collceg  nine, 
6-4,  in  a  iMason-Dixon  Conference 
baseball  game. 

The  Sho'men  gave  Eagle  pitcher 
Boy  May  a  rough  going  over  in  the 
initial  four  frames  and  then  with- 
stood a  late  rally  to  cop  their  second 
win  in  three  starts. 

Captain  John  Santulli  was  Ihe 
spark  plug  of  the  winner's  attack 
as  he  collected  a  timely  single  in  the 
first  inning  with  two  mates  aboard, 
putting  the  Sho'men  out  in  front  for 
the  remainder  of  the  contest.  They 
drove  May  to  the  showers  in  the 
four  with  a  three-run  outburst  fea- 
turing base  hits  by  Dan  Samele,  San- 
tulli, Herman  Schmidt  and  Tom 
Bounds. 

After  the  fourth,  Washington 
stymied  by  Eagle  reliefer  Bob  IVill. 
who  didn't  allow  a  hit  in  ihe  final 
5  2/3  innings  after  coming  to  the  as- 
sistance of  May  and  set  down  nine 
of  the  Sho'men  on  strikes.  W.C.  hi 
crs.  Ron  Sisk,  Bob  Sullivan,  and  Leo 
is,  limited  Bridgewater  to  only 
four  hits,  while  their  teammates 
banged  out  six  hits  good  for  six  runs. 
The  Eagles  threatened  in  the  sixth 
and  eighth  innings  but  left  the  bases 
loaded    in    both    frames. 

Bridgewater's  biggest  inning  was 
the  two-run  eighth,  when  the  Eagles 
received  four  walks  and  Fred  Dovel 
singled.

•ROUND  THE  CAMPUS 

I  would  like  to  congratulate  the  Science  Club,  the  Science  and 
Psychology  Departments,  and  the  rest  of  the  students  who  set  up 
the  annual  science  exhibit  last  week.  It  was,  as  usual,  an  excellent 
job  and  a  credit  to  the  collcge. 

The  Pan-Hellenic  dance  was  quite  successful  and  the  decora- 
tions %verc  very  attractive.  But  girls,  if  that  piano  player  tries  to 
return  next  year,  please  send  her  to  a  Gay  Nineties  Revue  or  to 
a  bar  room  in  a  gold  mining  town  in  the  far  west! 

Concerning  campus  activities,  it  has  been  brought  to  my  at- 
tention that  many  clubs  and  organizations,  in  scheduling  meetings 
and  special  events,  do  not  follow  the  calendar  of  events  that  is  set 
up  at  at  the  beginning  of  each  semester. 

Meetings  and  discussions  are  often  held  which  interfere  with 
such  scheduled  activities  as:  dances,  plays,  concerts,  etc.  Athletic 
contests  arc  sometimes  re-scheduled  without  any  consideration  for 
other  organizations  on  campus. 

The  Student  Government  has  begun  the  task  of  supervising 
the  calendar  of  events,  but  a  committee  of  reprimand  is  needed. 
This  group  could  prevent  many  conflicts  which  arise  and  better 
coordinate  camous  activities.

sistant, siraighiening  befuddled  sci- 
ence siudenis.  Everyone  knows  bim. 
and  you  have  surely  guessed  who  it 
is— Cy  Rollins. 

Cy  leads  a  very  active  life  and  has 
been  in  more  aciivilics  during  his 
four  years  at  W.  C.  than  many  people 
could  boast  of  in  a  lite  lime.  He 
has  given  much  of  his  lime  to  Theia 
Chi,  aciing  as  secretary  in  his  junior 
year  and  vice- president  this  year.  His 
inieiest  in  fraicrnities  doesn't  slop 
here.  He  has  formerly  been  the  vice- 
president  of  the  Inter-fratemiiy  Coun- 
cil and  is  cunenily  scning  as  presi- 
dent. 

Cy.  who  is  a  diemisiry  major,  plans 
lo  continue  his  studies  at  University 
of  Maryland  Medical  School  in  Sep- 
tember.  Judging  from  his  work  as 
vice-president  of  the  Society  of  Sci- 
ences, we  know  that  he  will  be  suc- 
cessful in  his  field. 

Cy  has  many  other  interests  besides 
Biology,  one  of  Ihcm  being  journal- 
ism. He  is  now  the  assistant  circula- 
tion manager  of  The  Elm.  .As  a  soph- 
omore, he  was  the  assistant  manager 
of  the  Handbook.  In  his  junior  year, 
he   was   promoted    to  editor. 

If  you  are  got  now  convinced  that 
Cy  is  a  leadA,  take  the  opinion  of 
■h-  senior  class,  who  vfMcd  him  to  the 
office  of  vice-presideni.  ODK  also  rcc.

The  night  of  the  Inlet-Sorority 
Dance,  the  .Alpha  Chi's  were  given  an

The  last  piece  of  furniture  that

GOOD  LUCK,  COACH       • 

An  individual  connected  with  Washington  College  Athletic: 
„lio  few  people  on  campus  know,  yet  who  has  coached  here  for 
five  years,  is  bidding  us  farewell. 

I  am  speaking  of  Tom  EUason,  Jr.,  Coach  of  the  Varsity  Ten 
nis  Team.  Tom,  a  resident  of  Chestertown,  Md.,  graduated  from 
U'ashington  College  in  1941.  He  played  Varsity  Tennis  for  four 
years  at  Washington  College. 

Tom  is  a  member  of  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  Fraternity  and  has 
bren  coaching  varsity  tennis  at  Washington  College  for  the  past 
five  years.     In  that  time  he  has  coached  such  players  as  "Boot: 
Sluttcrly,   Lou  James,   Bill   "Biscuits"  Brandt.  Gary  WyckofT  and 
other  outstanding  players,  including  Jack  Smith  and  Bruce  WyckofT, 

Coach  Eliason  has  served  in  this  capacity  without  receiving 
any  compensation  at  all.  He  has  given  up  his  time  to  further  ten- 
nis at  Washington  College.     Good  luck  to  you  in  the  future,  Coach, 

SPRING  SPORTS 

It  is  always  interesting  to  compare  statistics  in  sports.  I  would 
like  to  show  how  the  spring  sports  so  far  this  year  (April  28)  stack 
up  with  last  year's  spring  program. 

First  of  all,  I  notice  after  looking  at  the  records  that  Spring 
Sports  at  Washington  College  this  year  are  not  doing  so  well, 
considering  the  won  and  lost  columns.  Baseball  is  the  only  team 
to  have  won  more  than  it  has  lost.  The  diamond  squad  has  won 
6  and  lost  4.  The  lacrosse  team  has  won  3  and  lost  5,  while  the 
tennis  team's  record  is  1  win  and  6  losses.  The  trackmen  are  eye- 
ing their  first  win  today.  The  overall  record  so  far  is  10  wins  and 
19  losses  for  a  percentage  of  .345. 

In  the  spring  of  1952  the  records  were  as  follows;  Tennis  Team 

won  8  and  lost  2.  The  baseball  team  won  8  and  lost  5,  lacrosse  won 

and  lost  6  and  the  track  won  2  and  lost  4.     The  overall  record 

then  was  26  wins  and  17  losses  for  a  respectable  percentage  of  .602. 

This  analysis  shows  that  the  spring  sports  record  so  far  this 
spring  is  .257  less  than  last  year.  It  is  my  belief  that  the  percent, 
will  favorably  increase  by  the  end  of  the  season,  and  go  over  the 
.602  mark.

The  iniia-mnra]  sofiball  league  at 
Washington  College  got  off  to  a  fast 
siart  last  Monday  at  Sommcrset  and 
Kibtcr  fields  with  director  Cletc  Can-

ivliich  inaugurated  the  1953  season.

Das  Students,  will  consist  of  an  ar- 
riv  of  athletes  and  should  produce 
jn  exciting  race  for  the  flag- 
In  the  oHicial  opening  games,  The- 
la  Chi  defeated  Kappa  .Alpha  by  a 
score  of  12  to  5,  while  top  Bight 
contender.  C-I.  Hall,  shelled  Foxwell 
for  a   35   to   11   victory.

In  a  sh'irt  rc\icw  of  this  sort  I  be- 
ieve  the  critic  is  expected  to  say 
;"mcihing  nleasant  about  alnnisi  cve- 
-shndy  in  the  cast,  and  at  the  .same 
iinie  to  give  an  impression  of  criti- 
cal seriousness  by  suggesting  that 
something  abont  the  performance  was 
n;n  quite  right.  The  performance  by 
:he  Wa'^bington  Players  this  week 
iS'as  a  remarkably  competent  one, 
or  which  the  chief  credit  should 
;i>  lo  Ihc  dirccior.  Miss  Siallings.  The 
:asting,  in  particular,  was  excellent; 
he  staging  was  elTeciivc.  the  business 
good_  the  pace  sure.  If  there  was  a 
w-akne,ss.  it  lay  perhaps  in  the  mat 
;r  of  interptetatinn,  which  seemed 
1  hesitate  between  farce  and  real 
unedy  with  an  inclination  toward 
the  first.  The  tone  was  a  little  noisy. 
The  confusion  may  be  the  fault  of 
rhe  auihnr  himself.  Some,  or  indeed 
most  of  the  tharaciei-s — the  director 
Fitzgerald,  the  aciress  and  her  hus- 
band, the  moneyed  Blacks — lend  them. 
s?!ves  irresistibly  to  caricature.  Oth- 
ers, like  Peter  Sloan  and  Owen  Turii- 
•?r,  who  are  Moss  Han  himself  ar  dif. 
fereni  stages  of  his  career,  may  be 
romic  but  are  hardly  farcical.  Mr. 
Hart  was  unwilling  or  unable  to  cari- 
cature himself. 

Of  all  the  players.  Miss  Delancy 
md  Mr.  Callo  seemed  to  me  lo  give 
the  most  finished  and  consistent  per- 
'ormances  in  the  tradition  of  high 
cmedy,    and    lo      speak    a      form    of 


twenty  paces.  Mi^s  Uclaney. 
actress,  had  just  ;he  righi  degree  and 
riglii  sort  of  alhctation  and  fascina- 
tlrin  to  siigges-  a  heart  of  sionc  un- 
dcnieath.  Mr.  Gallo,  I  admit,  was 
barely  criilible  as  the  tearful  director; 
but  peopli-  like  ihai  do  exist  in  real 
life,  and  when  you  meet  them  you 
havp  to  pinch  youreelf.  Nfr.  Kastcrby 
a-  d  Miss  Diana,  as  the  rich  angel  and 
■v,  athletic  wife,  had  parts  demand- 
■-•1  a  verv  difiiculi  combination  of 
Mudiiy    and    sophistication;    their    so- 

Ulinn  was  io  be  allcrnately  repulsive 
and  lovable,  lancoiis  and  lender.  Miss 
Diana,  I  fell,  was  at  times  too  lond, 
but  she  succeeded  somehow  in  sug- 
gesting that  she  was  as  good  a  woman 
imderiieath  as  Miss  Delancy  was  a 
had  one.  Of  the  secondary'  characters. 
Mr.  Daniels  as  Ihe  occasionally  useful 
husband  was  certainly  ihe  funniest, 
when  he  appeared  at  all.  Mr.  Keelcr, 
as  the  ihealrc-smilten  business  man 
from  the  ^^'est,  w.is  in  his  quiet  way 
perhaps  the  most  convincing:  he 
would  have  made  Mr.  Callo  cry  some 
more,  Mr,  Gruehn.  in  his  brief  ap- 
■■earancc  as  the  convivial  Shrincr,  was 
imusingly   real    (or   painfully     so,   it 

!i;Tt\  the  way  you  feel).  Miss  Jones 
as  the  acivess'  mother  seemed  like' 
a  woman  in  whom  all  passion,  ex-! 
cept  that  Inr  money,  had  long  since  i 
been  spent,  and  Mr-  Clark,  as  the 
tired  playwrighl.  a  in.in  in  whom  all  j 
delusions  had  Ion.5  sin.e  dried  up. 
In  Mr.  Clark's  role  a  ,mi'e  or  a  laugh  ; 
now  and  then  might  not  have  been 
-II'  ol  place — he  was  almost  ;oo  diT, 
^s  Miss  Jones  was  perhaps  almost  too 
'•lacid.  Mrs.  Lowe,  in  her  small  .nod 
doubtless  irritating  part,  siiccetdeil 
-idniirably  in  reminding  us  that  wc- 
aie  not  all  crazy.  ! 

The  role  of  Peter  Sloan,  the  young 
playwright,  is  certainly  the  most  dif- 
ficult of  all,  for  the  simple  reason 
that  it  is  written  on  a  higher  level 
if  comedy  than  the  level  of  the  play 
as  a  whole.  With  its  tragic  overtones, 
it  cannot  really  fit  the  play  unless  the  j 
play  is  refined  to  suit  it,  Mr.  Loevy 
played  a  straight  part.  He  bad  both 
digniiy  and  innocense;  his  earnest 
hopes  and  awful  inisci-^-,  his  silences 
ind  his  gulps  were  both  comic  and 
louching.  If  be  had  an  unconvincing  ] 
moment,  it  was  at  the  very  end  when 
Mr.  Han  himself  lets  him  down. 
Quicker  than  you  can  say  disestablish, 
meniarianism  he  is  obliged  to  drop 
from  his  seat  in  the  clouds  into  the 
real  world  of  men.  Some  extra  time 
soul-searching  seems  needed  here, 
some  stage  business  to  indicate  an  in 
ner  struggle.  But  it  was  noi  Mr. 
Loevy's  responsibility  to  rcwriie  the 
play.

The  Washington  College  Tennis 
Team  dropped  its  sixth  match  of  the 
season  as  it  was  defeated  by  an  un- 
defeated Hopkins  team,  8  to  1,  at 
Homewood    last    Saturday. 

The  only  bright  picture  of  the  day 
was  Les  Bell's  viclory  over  Bill  Jen- 
nings of  Hopkins  by  ihe  scores  of 
fi-3,  0-6.  C-3.  Bell  has  now  won  5  out 
of  bis  7  singles  matches.  The  only 
other  member  of  the  team  ihat  has  a 
winning  record  is  Bill  Murray  who 
has  compiled  a  4  and  3  record. 

The  rest  of  the  Washington  College 
Tennis  schedule  reads  as  follows: 
May  4 — Towson  at  home 
May  0 — Mt,  St.  Mary's,  away 
May    8 — Catholic     U,,    ai     home 
May  9— Randolph-Macon,  at  home 
The   team   to  waich   in  action   will 
he    Catholic    University    of    Washing- 
toti,   D.   C.  So  far   they  have  won  70 
straight    tennis    matches    which    is    IC 
short  of  a  record  set  by  William  and 
Mary  College. 

Said   a   high     powered     teacher,  so 

scorning, 
"Once  more  I  am  giving  you  warning; 
You  students  who  slack 
Start   looking  for  black. 
For    when    finals    come    on    you'll    be 

mourning."

Administration 
Changes 


As  a  result  of  the  resignation  in 
March  of  ,Df.  F.  G.  Livingood  as 
Dean  of  the  College,  the  Visitors 
Governors  have  announced  a 
realignment  of  the  administrative 
taff  of  the  college,  to  become  effect- 
ve  in  September.  As  a  result  of  this 
realignment,  the  office  of  Dean  ,  of 
I  as  such  is  being  eliminated,  and 
the  college  ivill  have  a  full-time  ad- 
ministrative officer  who  will  hold  the 
title  of  Dean  of  the  College  and  who 
will  serve  both  as  academic  dean 
and   dean  of   men. 

This  decision  was  influenced  by 
several  factore,  particularly  the  fact 
that  several  of  the  administrative  of- 
ficers of  the  college  have  carried 
heavy  teaching  loads  in  the  past,  so 
heavy  as  to  make  it  impossible  for 
them  to  carry  on  their  teaching  duties 
and  their  administrative  duties  with 
full  justice   to  their  own  abilities. 

In  this  new  alignment,  Dr.  Livin- 
good will  teach  full-time  in  the  de- 
partments of  education  and  psychol- 
ogy; Professor  Foster  will  give  up  his 
teaching  duties  to  devote  himself  to 
full-time'  work  as  registrar,  and  will 
take  over  a  number  of  the  testing 
functions  presently  lodged  in  the  of- 
fice of  the  dean  of  the  college;  Dr. 
Clark  will  assume  full-time  teaching 
duty  as  head  of  the  department  of 
histoi7  and  political  science,  without 
other  specific  administrative  respon- 
sibilities, 

The  adiminstration  and  the  govern- 
ing board  of  the  college  desire  to  make 
it    clear    that    this    realignment    is    in

Winterling,   Ware,  Fox 
Named  For  1953  -  '54 


In  the  Inter-Fraternity  Council  meeting,  Tuesday,  May  5,  the 
eight  fraternity  representatives  elected  John  Minnich  to  succeed  Cy 
Rollins  as  president  for  the  coming  school  year. 

The  office  of  vice-president  will  be  filled  by  Bill  Winterling  of

serve  in  the  capacity  of  secretary  of  the  Council,  and  Rod  Ware  from 
"^^heta  Chi  will  take  over  the  job  of 
treasurer. 

The  Council  has  set  up  a  rotation 
system  for  elections  whereby  the  of- 
fice of  president,  and  all  the  other 
offices,  is  awarded  to  each  fraternity 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  and  is  a  former 
ternity  will  hold  each  office  only  once 
every  four  years.  Lambda  Chi,  which 
was  vice-president  last  year,  moved 
up  lo  president;  Theta  Chi,  which  was 
president  last  year,  moved  down  to 
treasurer,  and  so  on  until  each  fra- 
ternity has  held  every  office.

of  the  I.F.C.  are  the  governing  of  fall 
riLshing  by  the  fraternities,  to  a.ssist 
the  Varsity  Club  at  Homecoming  by 
conducting  the  election  of  the  queen, 
and  to  sponsor  a  formal  dance  in  the 
spring.  ThLs  dance,  one  of  the  big- 
gest affairs  of  the  college  vear,  is 
open    lo   fraiernily  men   only. 


Stahl  To 
Head  Pegasus 


The  Board  of  Publications  recently 
announced  that  Bob  Stahl  would  edit 
the  1954  yearbook,  succeeding  Tony 
Tonian,  this  year's  editor. 

Bob  has  done  an  outstanding  job 
as  business  manager 'of  The  Elm  this 
year.  He  is  an  active  member  of 
In  turn.  This  means  that  each  tra- 
secrctary  of  that  group. 

He  was  recentlf  appointed  Physics 
lab  assistant  for  next  year,  as  well 
as    Pegasus  editor. 

Tony  Tonian's  work  on  thePegasus 
was  superb  and  the  book  was  an  ex- 
cellent publication.  In  the  past,  the 
students  have  very  seldom  received 
the  yearbook  before  the  summer  va- 
cation. Congratulations  from  The  Elm 
stafT  Tony. 


Dean  F.  G.  Livingood 

Retires  To  Little  Room 


There  are  few  members  of  any 
freshman  class  that  will  forget  their 
instructions  in  memorising  by  ihink- 
of  ridiculous  situations.  And  ev- 
these  few,  who  can't  recall  purple 
cats  atop  '  Bill  Smith  Hall  floating 
down  Washington  Avenue,  will  re- 
member  their  retiring  dean,  Dr.  F.  G. 
Livingood-  A  master  in  psychology 
and  one  who  manages  to  know  eveiy- 
s  first  name  within*  the  first  week 
ichool,  he  has  solved  more  prob- 
lems for  Washington  College  than 
Mr.    Anthony    would    ever    attempt. 

Anyone  can  look  in  the  volumes  of 
Who's  Who  and  hnd  him  hsted  with 
various  honors  but  well  wager 
that  he  II  be  best  remembered  by 
most   for  what  he  has  contributed  to 


Washington    College. 

Dr.  Livingood  came  lo  Chester- 
Kiwn  as  the  result  of  a  tennis  match. 
\Vhen  he  was  a  graduate  student  at 
Harvard,  he  wa^;  approached  by  an 
older  man  who  asked  if  anyone  was 
interested  in  a  game  of  tennis.  When 
none  of  the  others  spoke  up,  he  volun- 
teered. This  match  brought  others  and 
developed  into  a  fast  friendship. 
The  man  was  Dr.  Paul  E.  Tilsworth. 
President  of  Washington  College  from 
1923  through  1933.  In  1925  he  called 
Dr.  Livingood  to  the  school  almost 
as  if  he  were  asking  if  anyone  was 
uiK rested  in  another  tennis  match 
.and    he   accepted. 

His  lirst  post  was  that  of  profcs-

S.  G.  IN  JEOPARDY? 

This  article  is  not  a  challenge  or  a  rebuke  or  a  demand  for 
further  action,  its  sole  purpose  is  to  bring  to  light  what  more 
than  a  majority  of  the  uppcrclass  student  body  feels  about  the 
recent  disciplinary  action.  They  fcrl  that  there  is  well-grounded 
reason  to  consider  the  action  partial  and  unfair. 

All  are  aware  that  the  case  is  closed— the  thing  to  consider  is 
its  effect  upon  our  new  Student  Government.  A  student  committee 
member  said,  "It  is  not  our  job  to  please  the  students  in  a  case 
like    this." 

N  o  student  is  ever  "pleased"  with  a  disciplinary  action — quite 
the  contrary-,  the  punishments  are  usually  considered  too  harsh. 
This  sudden  reversal  in  trend  is  surprising.  Is  there  assurance 
ihat  this  leniency  will  be  continued? 

Dishonesty  is  dishonesty,  be  it  academic,  moral  or  any  other. 
Last  year's  trend  seemed  to  be  set  punishments  for  set  offences. 
This  system  has  been  abided  by  willingly  by  all  students.  OfTcndcrs 
took  their  punishment  honorably  with  the  knowledge  that  they 
wcTf  paying  the  price  for  their  mistakes  and  with  the  assurance 
that  future  offenders  would  pay  the  same  price.  The  records  cer- 
tainly .show  that  this  system  was  cITective.  But  as  of  last  Saturday, 
Joe  Student  can't  be  sure  just  where  he  stands.  Unless  absolute 
consistency  is  made  the  by-word  for  disciplinary  action,  confidence 
in  our  Student  Government  will  be  rapidly  declining.  Without 
the  confidence  and  support  of  the  students,  that  organization 
may  once  attain  be  doomed  to  failure  on  our  campus.

wr  of  educaiion  and  his  one  secret 
dusire  during  that  time  was  to  have 
his  office  in  (he  litlle  room  on  ihc 
fhird  floor.  At  ihc  lime,  it  was  used 
as  ihe  Chcmistr>'  office,  ihc  chcni  lab 
iKCopnng  lliai  portion  of  Bill  Sniilh. 
It  uat  not  until  1940  that  the  admin- 
isii-alion  lold  him  he  could  have  it 
and  in  the  same  year  he  wa\  made 
Dean  and  moved  lo  the  large  fir>l 
[loot  room.  With  much  jov  he  an- 
nounces that  as  pntfessor  of  psvchol- 
ogy,  he  will  finally  get  that  litUe 
room  thai  he  has  wanted  for  tweniy- 
*e\'cn  years. 

In  1926,  Dr.  Livingood  introduced 
ihe  lesting  program  for  entering  fresh, 
men  and  inaugurated  Freshman  Week. 
FrotD  years  of  scoring  and  estimating 
freshman  he  stai<a  that  there  has 
been  a  gradual  growth  in  the  quali- 
iv  of  W.C.  students.  He  was  also  re- 
sponsible for  the  creation  of  the  Col- 
lege Orchestra  which  has  now  been 
abandoned  due  lo  lack  of  violin  play- 
ers. There  were  days,  however,  when 
the  group  gave  concerts  and  never 
missed  playing  for  an  assembly  pro- 
gram. 

Perhapi  Dr.  Livingood  is  best 
known  to  the  students  as  "Dean  Wil- 
lie." In  all  of  his  psychology  classes 
poor  -little  Willie"  was  the  victim 
of  persecution  complexes,  and  numer- 
ous unpronouncablc  mental  diseases. 
He  stated,  however,  that  he  was  forc- 
ed to  change  Willie's  name  to  Mont- 
gomery this  year,  which  i*  a  little 
harder    to    tack   on    to  "Dean." 

Retiring  as  dean,  Dr.  Livingood 
will  become  profevsor  of  Psychology 
and  Education,  and  with  his  free 
time  he  plans  to  solve  a  problem  that 
has  been  under  discu^ion  at  the  col 
lege  for  a  number  of  years.  Whether 
or  not  the  bust  in  the  history  room 
of  William  Smith  is  really  Bacchus, 
the  God  of  Wine  or  Plato,  the  politi- 
cal  granddaddy   of   them  alll

way  a  reflection  upon  the  ac- 
complishment or  the  devoted  service 
of  the  men  who  have  held  the  posi- 
5  of  Dean  of  the  College  and  of 
Dean  of  Men. 

In  informing  Dr.  Clark  of  the  dc- 
sion  of  the  board.  President  Gibson 

id:  "I  sincerely  trust  that  you  will 
not  construe  this  action  as  a  reflection 

any  way  on  your  work  as  dean  of 
men.  Your  conscientiousness  in  per- 
forming those  duties  rcRardlcss  of  ihe 
■y  pressure  of  your  other  work 
has  been  entirely  admirable.  I  shall 
be  glad  lo  take  any  steps  necessary 
assure  any  person  or  any  group 
about  that.  It  is  simply  that  you  arc 
loo  fine  a  teacher,  too  valuable  to 
the  rollet-e  in  that  role,  to  attempt 
further  to  retiiove  you  from  the  class- 
room. I  hav  been  led  by  you  to 
believe  that  such  an  attempt  would 
not   be    to   your  liking."' 

Dr.  Gibson  also  observed  that  this 
general  move  accorded  with  one  of 
recommendations  of  the  visitini; 
committee  of  the  Middle  States  As- 
sociation. In  reaffinnint:  the  accred- 
itation of  Washincton  CollcRc,  thi 
committee  stated  that  some  officers 
of  the  college  were  rarrj-ing  too  heavy 
a  teaching  load,  and  urged  that  steps 
be  taken   to  remedy  the   condition. 

It  is  expected  that  appointment 
of  a  new  dean  of  the  college  will  be 
announced  by  the  Visitors  and  Gov- 
ernors during  the  rommencement  per-

I  want  to  use  this  means  to  thank 
he  student  body  ol  Washington  Col. 
lege  for  iheir  cooperation  with  nic 
[luring  this  and  past  years.  Working

watching  ihcm  develop  has  been  one 
o[  the  most  gratifying  aspects  of  my 
work  at  Washington  College  during 
Ihc   pasi    seven   yeai^. 

Sincerely  yours. 

CHARLES  B.  CLARK 


Senior  Of 
The  Week 


Our  last — but  far  from  least — sen. 
ior  of  the  week  for  this  semester 
Tom  Hederman,  known  by  every  slu. 
dent  at  W.C.  as  "Heu".  This  foui 
foot,  seven  inch  Thcia  Chi  is  one  ol 
'53's   most    memorable  seniors. 

Heti  was  bom  in  Pittsburgh,  but 
since  his  dad  is  in  the  navy  he  has 
traveled  a  great  deal.  He  has  lived 
in  Coronado,  Caltt.,  Honolulu,  Li. 
Jolla,  Calif.,  Washington.  Ncwpon, 
R.  1.,  and  was  at  Pearl  Harbor  when 
it  was   bombed  on   December  7. 

Here  at  W.C,  in  addition  to  be- 
ing  everybody's  buddy  and  the  lilt 
of  many  a  party,  Hctz  has  t>een  Bas^ 
ball  Manager  for  two  years  and  Bas 
kctball  Manager  for  one  year.  He  is 
a  prominent  member  of  Theia  Chi 
fraternity  and  the  Forensic  Society, 
He  is  a  Varsity  Club  two-striper,  and 
also  one  of  the  eleven  seniors  to  re- 
ceive  DDK  cvrtilicatcs  of  merit. 

Hctz's    escapades    have    been   so  i 
merous   and   famous   here  on   campus 
that    we    must    relate    just    a    few  ol 
ihcm.   There  is   the  time  he  bc;it 
six    foot    two    inch    Rip    Sewell    i 
a   milk   bottle.     And   the  big  momcnl 
in  his  life  was  when  Jane  spoon  M 
him    strawberries.     Big    Ken    Sullivan 
slill   carries  the  mark  of  the  ol'  HcK 
kick  on  his  .shin,  and  the  O  X  Hoi 
has  lost  more  than  one  window  wh 
the   litlle   dynamo     began     to     hiiil 
things.    Perhaps    Hctz's    most    frusti-al- 
ing  moment  came  when   the  baseball 
[cam    went    Ifi    innings    against    B.l'. 
and    Ihe    score    book    only    had    r 
for    12. 

Yes,  Heir  will  have  his  own  spf 
cial  nirhc  in  the  W.C.  Hall  of  Faint 
He  has  become  a  sort  of  tradition 
will  not  be  forgotten  by  his  n 
friends  here.  Good  luck  in  the  !«■ 
lure,    Heiz. 


Goodbye  Seniors,  Goodbye 


Graduation  comes  but  gpce  a  year 
and  thank  goodness  becau.sc  the  cam- 
pus could  not  stand  the  stress  and 
strain.  The  seniors  play  a  minor  part, 
the  climax  of  this,  ihcir  <iroll  to  the 
front  of  the  platform  to  get  their 
sheep,skin.  The  real  strain  of  grad- 
uation lies  on  the  shouldei's  of  the 
rest   of   the   campus. 

One  of  Ihe  most  important  func 
tions  of  the  student  body  in  prepara. 
lion  for  graduation  is  to  entertain 
the  seniors  with  a  sufiicicni  number 
of  picnics  and  beach  parties.  The 
seniors  enjoy  themselves  while  the 
underclassmen  gag  on  loc)  many  po 
laio  chips,  contract  worms  from  un- 
dercooked pork  and  Ihat  night  have 
a    sand    pile   in    their    beds. 

The  College  Choir,  which  will  be 
singing  for  commencement  practice 
uiuil  2  a.m.  nightly  so  that  on  the 
big  day  their  "Down  Through  The 
Years"  won't  sound  like  "Hallejuah

sieur Langely  is  teaching  them  the 
French  for  "I'll  never  tell," 

Before  the  seniors  take  k'avc  of 
this  campus  there  are  some  questions 


that   must   be  answered: 

1.  Who  was  .the  one  out  of  f'"" 
that   was  served   at   the  Granary? 

2.  How   ran  poison   ivy   be  so  -

4.  Who's  mail  should  be  seni  '"

5.  Who's  clothes  arc  in  the  laundn

Sho'men  Sting 
Yellow  Jackets 

By   HUGH   DELANO 

Paced  by  John  Santulli  and  Dick 
Brockcll  with  two  hits  apiece  and 
the  hurling  of  Leo  Gillis,  Tom  Kib- 
kr's  Washington  College  nine  posted 
at  4-2  win  over  a  strong  Randolph- 
Macon  club  last  Saturday  at  Kiblcr 
field. 

For  the  Shoremtn,  the  victory 
boosted  their  Mason-Dixon  Confer- 
ence slate  to  an  8-4  record,  while 
the  visitors  were  handed  their  second 
reversal  in  ci.ghl  outings  of  league 
play. 

Oddly  enough,  all  the  scorinir  was 
done  in  the  first  three  innings  with 
Randolph-Macon  Rrabbinc;  a  quick, 
but  short-lived  1-0  lead  in  the  first 
frame.  However,  Kibler's  crew  tied  it 
up   in   their  half  of  the    first, 

Lcadonr  man  Ted  Keller  opened 
with  a  ground  single  to  Icfl-centcr 
and  took  second  on  third-sackcr  Herb 
Winn's  lap  to  the  mound  which  Gillis 
deflected.  Keller  came  home  as  Bill 
Walker  rifled  a  hit  to  right-ccnter- 
A  walk  to  Jim  Edwards,  Doug  Tillcy's 
■nrrifice  and  a  two-bagger  by  Danny 
Samele    tied    it    I-]. 

The  Sho'men  got  to  righty  Bill 
Whitley  again  in  the  second  for  a 
!-l  edge.  Winn's  overthrow  on  Roger 
Snioot's  ground  ball  put  a  runner 
on  second  to  start  things  off.  Brockell 
followed  with  a  single  and  Smoot 
moved  to  third.  Wcs  Edwards'  worked 
Whitlry  for  a  free  pa.ss  to  load  the 
ba,ses  and  when  Gillis  bounced  to 
short,  Smoot  crossed  the  plate.  How- 
ever,  Brockcll  was  cut  down  at  third 
by  Keller.  Till,  y  loaded  thi-  bases 
again  but   Washington  was  unable  to 

In  the  third,  Whitley  put  the  Vir- 
ginia team  back  in  the  game,  slam- 
ming a  long  home  run  over  the  left- 
field  fence  to  deadlock  the  count  2-2, 
Gillis  threw  wild  to  first  on  Winn's 
roller,  and  it  put  a  mand  on  second. 
Walker  drew  a  base-on-balls  and  both 
men  advanced  on  a  passed  ball.  How- 
ever, Gillis  got  Larry  Shiflctt  to  end 
the  threat. 

Washington  scored  twice  in  the 
third  for  a  4-2  edge  which  proved 
enough  for  the  win.  Santulli  opened 
with  his  second  double — a  long  blast 
against  the  fence  in  left-center  and 
Herman  Schmidt  singled  him  to  third. 
When  Schmidt  attempted  to  steal 
second,  catcher  Charlie  Thomas 
heaved  the  ball  into  center-field  to 
bring  in  Santulli  followed  by  Schmidt. 

From  there  on  in  Gillis  kept  Ran- 
(lalph-Macon  completely  in  check  to 
post  his  fourth  win  in  five  tries  and 
fourth  ■  in  a  row  in  Mason-Dixon 
play.  In  losing,  Whitley  was  hapdrd 
his  second  setback  against  a  like 
number   of   wins. 


Md.;  second.  Hunt.  Western  Md,: 
third.  Snover,  Wcsiem  Md.  Distance, 
121  feet. 

Pole  Vault — Tie  for  first  between 
Kansak  and  B,  Thomas,  Washingion; 
third,  tie  between  Duhl  and  Langrall, 
Western   Md.   Height,  9  feet. 


Bee-Sho' 
Finale  Today 

Both  Baltimore  U.  and  Washingion 
College  wind  up  their  lacrosse  sch(^d■ 
ule  today  when  they  clash  at  2:30 
on    the    former's    field. 

Last  year's  encounter  found  the 
Shore  stickmen  victorious  by  the 
count  of  17  to  11,  but  the  Bees  will 
be  in  full  force  for  today's  encounter. 

Baltimore  posts  a  fine  stellar  de. 
fensc  in  Dave  Palmer,  Carroll  Walt- 
meycr,  and  Phil  Long,  plus  an  ex- 
ceptional goalie  in  Dick  Whedbee 
who  has  allowed  only  37  goals  thus 
far. 

OITensivcly,  the  Bcese  arc  led  by 
scoring  leader,  Charles  Beasely,  who 
has  contributed  34  goals  in  the  Bees' 
6-3  log. 

Assisting  Beasely  arc  attackmen 
Tom  Devan,  Ed  Krok  and  Wayne 
Milncr,  who  arc  rated  by  Bee  coach 
Caleb  Kcllcy,  to  be  vastly  improving 
with  each  encounter.  Milncr  is  a  for- 
mer  Washington   College  student. 

Featured  on  Washington's  attack 
will  be  Capt.  John  Grim  and  Chuck 
Wacschc  playing  their  last  Washing, 
ton  College  lacrosse  game.  Goalie  Bill 
Ru&sell,  who  has  been  playing  a 
great  role  in  the  Shore  defense,  will 
also  retire  from  ihc  college  scene. 
The  Shoremen  will  enter  today's 
game  with  an  S  ami  ,'i  overall  record. 

Stickmen 
Top  Lehigh 

After  playing  a  very  sloppy  first 
half,  the  Shore  nctmen  overcame  a 
3-1  deficit,  and  went  ahead  to  beat 
Lehigh  University.  10-4,  in  a  game 
that  saw  goalie  Bill  Russell  make  19 
saves,    17   in   the   first   half. 

After  a  scoreless  first  quarter  the 
Sho'nicn  went  ahead  I-O  early  in 
second  period,  with  Grim  scoring  on 
a  pass  from  I.ipsilz.  Lehigh  boimccd 
back  with  three  goak  on  a  pick 
play  by  Tom  Sheridan  and  an  unas- 
sisted goal  by  him  two  mimites  later. 
The  Brown  and  White's  final  tally 
of  the  period  came  on  a  goid  by 
George  Scott  who  took  advantage  ot 
a  loose  ball  in  front  of  the  W.C.  goal. 

The  third  frame  saw  the  Clarkmen 
outscorc  the  Engineers,  5-0,  and  take 
a  6-3  lead  at  the  end  of  the  period 
The  scoring  splurge  started  after 
1:^0  with  Howard  scoring  on  an  as- 
sist by  Lipsitz.  Lipsitz  then  scored 
on  a  deflected  hall  in  front  of  the 
Lehigh  goal  to  tic  the  score  ai  3-3. 
The  next  two  came  within  Ihiriy  sec- 
onds of  one  another,  with  DiMaggio 
scoring  unassisted,  and  Howard  pass- 
ing to  Hesse.  The  final  score  of  this 
quarter  came  with  Grim  taking  ad- 
vantage of  an  extra  man,  and  putting 
the  ball  in  with  the  assist  going  to 
George   Hesse, 


BRIDGEWATER  DEFENI^ING  CHAMPS 

Washington  College,  who  was  second  last  year,  enters  the  eigh- 
teenth annual  Mason-Dixon  Championships  with  a  handful  of 
choice  runners  who  hope  to  dethrone  the  champion  Bridgewater 
College  squad  today. 

Heading  the  list  of  Shore  thinclads  is  half-miler  George  Eichcl- 
bcrger, milcr  Lew  Buckley,  two-milcr  Joe  Keller,  sprinter  Joe 
Pokrzy\vka,  weight  man  Jack  Bergen,  pole  vaulters  Dernie  Thomas 
and  Al  Kansak,  and  hurdler  Ells  Boyd. 

Sprinter  Stu  Young,  who  was  out  most  of  the  season  with  a 
pulled  muscle,  is  ready  for  the  championships,  and  will  boost  the 
Shore  hopes. 

Lew  Buckley  and  George  Eichelbcrgcr  are  strong  contenders  for 
the  mile  and  880  respectively,  and  have  performed  well  in  Wash- 
ngton's  duel  meets.  Buckley  has  broken  five  minutes  for  the  mile 
several  times  this  season,  and  is  capable  of  running  the  distance 
in  4;40.  Eichelbcrgcr  is  entered  in  both  the  880  and  440.  but  he 
may  pass  up  the  quarter  mile  to  enable  him  to  concentrate  on  ■ 
his  specialty,  the  half  mile.  George  has  done  much  to  foster  track 
and  field  events  at  W.  C.  this  year,  and  he  has  one  year  of  eligibil- 
ity remaining. 

Veteran  dash  man  Joe  Pokrzywka  will  be  at  his  peak  pcrformano 
for  the  Championship  meet,  having  improved  steadily  as  the  scasci 
has  progressed. 

Captain  Ells  Boyd,  who  has  score4  19  first  places  in  6  duai 
meets  this  year,  will  give  the  team  a  scoring  threat  in  both  the 
high  and  low  hurdles,  and  the  high  jump. 

Although  the  team  didn't  win  any  dual  meets  season,  it  doesn't 
discourage  championship  hopes,  since  the  points  arc  split  up  into 
many  difTcrent  factions,  with  17  schools  vieing  for  honors. 

The  squad  left  yesterday  for  the  trials,  and  will  compete  in 
the   finals   today. 


Intramural  Race  Tightens; 
Theta  Chi  In  League  Lead 


By  ECK  KING 


In  the  crucial  games  of  last  week 
the  top  contenders  looked  good  as 
Thcla  Chi  defeated  G.I.  2-0,  who 
in   turn   defeated   Day  Students    10-5. 

In  the  first  game  behind  the  ef- 
fective hurling  of  Junior  Ebenole  and 
the  heavy  hitting  of  Ebe  Jospehs, 
George  Hesse,  Roger  Kinhart  and 
Murray  Hardinger,  the  G.I.  sluggers 
went  on  to  win  over  Day  Students 
10-5.  Ed  Athcy  adsorbed  his  first 
lose  of  the  year  despite  the  clutch 
hitting  of  Mickey  DiMaggio,  Spencc 
Robinson  and  Bull  Durham.  This 
contest  dropped  the  Day  Students  into 
undisputed  possession  of  second  place, 
while  G.I.  Hall  remained  tied  with 
Thela    Chi    for  the   league   lead. 

Thcta  Chi  and  G.I.,  both  strong 
undefeated  contcndcr?i,  met  in  a 
stormy  game  on  May  II.  During  the 


Net  Season 
Completed 

The  Washingion  C<>llege  net  team 
ended  its  1953  season  with  2  wins 
and   10  loses. 

Of  the  10  loses,  five  of  them  were 
by  54  scores. 

The  bright  spots  of  the  season 
were  Les  Bell's  8  victories  and  4  los- 
es in  singles  and  Bill  Murray's  7 
wins  out  of  12  matches.  Murray  did 
an  excellent  job  in  coptaining  the 
squad  this  year  and  did  much  to 
foster  tennis  at  Washington  College. 
The  1951  tennis  captain  will  be

Enrollment 
Is  Largest 
Since   War 


'ilh  the  Fall  Semester  opening  on 
September  21.  approximately  392  siu. 
denis  began  classes  making  this  one 
of  the  largest  enrollments  Washington 
College  has  had  since  World  War 
II.  Because  of  the  crowded  condi- 
tions and  the  fact  that  more  students 
uaaq  ^eq  JE.itsjila')]  aqi  "panadx.i  ajc 
unable   to   make   an   accurate   count. 

Of  these  392  students.  16(5  of  them 
arc  new  (o  ouv  campus.  155  of  (hese 
arc  Freshman  with  1 1  transfers,  46 
women  and  109  men  students  living 
both  on  and  off  campus  make  up  the 
list  of  Trcshmcn.  Eight  slates,  Wash- 
ington. U,  C.  and  England  arc  rep- 
resented on  the  rosier  of  new  stu-

Since  46  Freshman  Women  Ls  the 
largest  female  enrollment  \Vashington 
College  has  had.  Reid  Hall  has  com- 
plied by  putting  them  on  the  second 
and  third  floors  which  moved  most 
of  the  uppcrclass  women  into  Middle 
Hall. 

For  many  years  the  ratio  of  male 
to  female  students  has  been  3  or  even 
4  to  one.  This  year's  freshman  class, 
with  a  ratio  of  slightly  more  than 
two  to  one,  is  an  attempt  by  the  ad- 
ministration  to  equalize  the  ratio,

HIDE  THOSE  SKELETONS! 

Now  that  the  Frcshiiicn  havr  had  a  full  week  of  classes,  in- 
cluding new  books,  book  reports,  term  paper  notices,  written  as- 
si.Ejnments.  and  announced  blucbook  dates,  they  can  begin  under- 
taking several  extra-curricular  activities. 

During  Freshman  Week,  the  new  students  learned  quite  a  bit 
concerning  the  campus  organizations  and  clubs.  The  assembly  on 
September  18  was  highlighted  by  talks  describing  The  Science  Club. 
The  Washington  Players.  The  Newman  Club,  Wesley  Foundation, 
Forensic  Society.  The  Future  Teachers  of  America,  and  all  the  rest. 
But  several  popular  cours.-s  of  activity  were  not  mentioned. 

There  is  one  prominent  group  here  on  campus  which  has  been 
trying  for  the  past  four  years  to  have  tlieir  program  adopted  as  a 
college  Major  Course  of  Study— j"st  like  English.  Histor\\  Psy 
chology.  Economics,  etc.  We  are  the  members  of  the  Movie  Critic 
Majors   Club.    "The   First  Nighters"  of  tlic  small   town   theatres. 

Each  member  is  a  three  Icttcrman — Chcstcrtown.  Church 
Hill,  and  Centieville.  The  ushers  have  seen  some  of  us  so  often, 
when  we  walk  in.  they  hand  us  the  flashlight  and  we  show  them 
to  a  seat! 

Not  only  clubs,  but  extra-curricular  courses  are 
at  good  ole  "Washeegan  College."  There's  a  first  year 
Bennett's — 101.  which  Tm  sure  you  are  all  familiar  with.  Music 
included  in  this  activity,  but  don't  let  the  juke  box  fool  you.  Vi 
may  play  ''My  Love,  My  Love,"  by  Joni  James,  but  regardles*;  of 
what  button  you  push,  you'll  still  get.  "Back  on  The  Farm  Again," 
byHankW-illiams! 

Then  we  have  an  advanced  subject^Bluebird-203.  No,  girls, 
it's  not  tlie  study  of  bird  Hfe  and  our  feathered  friends.  It's  more 
like  the  study  of  malt  and  hops,  from  the  very  beginning,  to  the 
final  sampling  of  the  finished  product! 

Girls,  one  more  thing.  "Submarine  Races"  ha\T  nothing  to  do 
with  submarine  sandwiches!  The  big  bad  wolves  may  look  like 
they  are  going  to  eat  you  up  when  they  pop  the  question  t  \Vould 
you  like  to  go  to  the  Submarine  Races?)  but  don't  turn  them  down, 
girls,  you'd  be  surprised  what  you  C4in  learn  there. 

I  know  that  you  all  are  taking  the  Snack  Bar- 309  course.  The 
good  ole  Snack  Bar.  That's  where  you  pass  seventy-five  per  cent 
of  your  time,  .^nd  fift\-  per  cent  of  that  is  spent  in  exchanging 
your  ten  best  reasons  for  despising  a  certain  professor.  Then  that 
certain  Prof,  just  happens  to  be  pas^^ing  by,  spills  his  fresh  cup  of 
beaming  hot  coffee  down  your  back,  and  politely  sneers.  "Don't 
forget  tomorrow's  yellow  sheet!" 

Of  course  you  all  may  wish  to  pass  up  these  many  extra-cur- 
ricular acti\'itics  and  courses  in  favor  of  bluebook  studying.  Vou 
know  what  a  bluebook  is — one  hour  of  mental  anguish,  presided 
over  by  a  deranged  instructor  who  has  spent  the  past  three  months 
planning  how  he  could  drive  li2  freshmen  mad.  just  like  himself! 

We  might  call  all  of  these  subjects,  which  weren't  mentioned 
at  the  assembly,  "Family  skeletons  from  ibe  school  closet."  At  any 
rate.  I  wish  you  luck  in  any  of  these  activities  that  you  might 
choose,  and  if  you  aren't  killed  in  the  1 1  iOt  mail  ru-h.  I'll  see  you 
in  Hodson  for  lunch.

Freshmen,  this  article  is  for  tou; 
just  like  this  issue  of  Ihc  Elm  is 
mainly  for  you.   In  ihe  past  week  and 

half  vou've  met  so  many  people^ 
from  President  C.ibson  right  on 
down— thai  you're  diMV.  You've  been 
welcomed,  advised,  greeted,  rushed, 
insulted,  counseled,  bored  and  oc- 
casionally fascinated  by  the  people 
and  activities  planned  for  you.  And 
yet,  you  may  not  have  had  the  limc 
or  opporliinity  lo  sit  down  and  talk 
10  some  upper  classman  about  what 
is  in  store  for  you — just  one  student 
lo  another. 

FirM  of  all.  txdlcge  is  wonderful 
and — even  though  this  plimse  ls  over, 
used,  il's  so  true — you  only  get  out 
of  college  what  you  put  in.  Your 
freshman  year  may  he  the  best  one 
of  the  tour;  it  undoubtedly  will  stand 
out  longest  in  your  mcmor)'.  So  make 
ihc  most  of  it — be  an  eager,  aci 
well-rounded  sLudent.  Let  the 
of  this  campus  know  you're  here! 

That's   enough   philosophy   and 
vice,  vou'll   find   most   upper  classi 
aren'I    too   expert     in    ibis   field, 
we'll  pa-ss  on  to  more  familiar  ground 
and  gci  on  a  lillle  lighter  level 

Have  you  looked  ai  your  schedule 
lately — condolences  are  in  order  for 
all  of  you  taking  Freshman  History' 
and  Political  Science,  lorlurc  Cham, 
bers  and  inquisilinus  couldn't  be  any 
worse.  But  keep  your  chin  up,  there 
are  a  few  people  who  have  passed 
both  courses  in  one  semester.  And  it 
you  should  join  the  weeping  multi- 
tudes i^'ho  didn't  quite  make  it — oh, 
well,  misery  loves  company.  Once 
through  these  two  horrors,  you'll  be 
inced  that  the  worst  is  over;  all 
else  will  be  child's  play  after  that, 
'or  vou — in  your  sophomore 
year  you  have  the  pleasure  of  taking 
Psychology  and  Philosophy. 
Psycholog\'  is  very  interesting  and 
pretty  soon  you'll  realize  ihai  every 
body  in  the  whole  world  (except 
if  course)  is  crazy.  This  goes 
double  for  your  roommate.  And  Phi 
losophy — there's  a  dilly  if  there  eve 
tHi  one — everybody's  confused,  th 
professor  most  of  all.  .And  you  emerge 
luzry  concept  of  nothing  at 
ndering  if  you  really  e\ist 
3ubt  about  it,  the  best  part  of 
college  is  the  social  life.  You  cnc<Is 
kill  he  the  center  of  all  aileniion 
or  awhile.   .After  all,  any  guy    in   his 

ighi  mind  prefers  a  cute  new  lace 
to  the  ones  he's  been  looking  at  for 
or  so.  This  results  in  a  sad 
situation  known  as  the  ".Sophomore 
Slump."  But  the  Sophs  don't  mind. 
They've  had  their  day.  Aside  from 
dances,  plays,  games  and  movies, 
you'll  be  planning  most  of  your  so- 
cial activities  yourself — impromptu 
parties,  picnics,  trips  lo  each  other's 
homes,  card  games,  song  fesi.s  and 
scores  of  other  braiu  .storm.s.  Quite 
naturally  the  eternal  "Club  87"  will 
be  revived.  Due  to  inflation  the  dues 
are  actually  SI. 02  now.  but  the  divi. 
dends  for  so  small  a  sum  arc  stag- 
gering,   simply    staggering! 

Since  we've  used  up  so  much  of 
the  editor's  precious  spate,  we'd  bet- 
ter lunlinue  our  liiilc  chaj  in  per- 
son. Seriously,  if  you  have  a  chance, 
stop  and  talk  to  some  ol  the  upper 
classmen.  You'll  fmd  we're  really  not 
as  bad  as  rumor  would  lead  you  to 
believe.  .And  we're  anxious  lo  get  to 
know  vou.  Remember,  at  Washing- 
ton College,  everybody  knows  every- 
body else  by  their  first  name,

Fun  While 
It  Lasted 


Wc  weie  Kings  and  Queens  for 
a  week  .  ,  ,  It  was  our  school  and 
our  week.  We  were  the  Freshmen  and 
it    was   Freshmen    Week. 

It  started  with  a  long  line  and 
ended  with  an  even  longer  one  .  .  ■ 
Registration  day  was  just  one  con- 
tinuous calvacade  after  another.  Lines 
for  forms,  bills,  books,  dinks,  and 
more  books.  Lines  for  meals  and 
then  even  lines  for  baih.s!  And  final- 
ly the  long  prcKcssion  ai  the  Presi- 
dent's home  .  .  .  names,  names  and 
more  names.  "Jane  Doe  meei  John 
Smith,  John  Smith  meet  Mary 
Brown,   etc.,    etc.,   etc. 

Of  course  one  of  Ihe  first  things  a. 
freshman  girl  looked  into  was  the 
"male  prospects".  Washington  Col- 
lege i.s  quiie  famous  tor  its  three  lo 
'me  ratio  .  .  .  Bui  many  a  girl  was 
disappointed  to  find  out  that  one 
was  married,  one  was  taken,  and  one 
just  didn't  care!  ,  .  .  College  cala- 
liigucs  have  always  been  influential 
in  the  choice  of  a  college  and  I  won't 
say  the  view  of  the  dining  hall,  de- 
pitting  Ihe  one  lone  girl  divulging 
her  food  amidst  five  males,  had  any- 
thing to  do  with  the  selection  of  W.C, 
but  I  will  say  that  many  of  the  fair 
sex  were  disillusioned  ihat  first  week 
to  find  .she  only  got  to  sit  with  them 
ivhen  ibcre  wasn't  another  seat  avail- 
able and/or   the  seat   wasn't   saved. 

One  of  the  first  opportunities  the 
Freshmen  have  to  acquaint  themselves 
with  each  other  socially,  was  Ihe 
square  dance.  However,  everyone  wa.s 
so  busy  trying  to  cjitch  on  lo  the 
"intricate"  steps  of  the  polka  and 
"Put  Your  Little  Foot"  ihey  hardly 
had     time    to    make    time.    Naturally, 


the  leas  wcvt  a  great  comfort  to  anv 
one  who  was  trying  lo  climb  the  w 
cial  ladder  to  success  .  .  .  The  "nl) 
trouble  was  that  everyone  was  trvin^ 
to  do  ibe  same  thing  at  the  -;!m( 
lime  so  ihai  nothing  was  accompli-h 
cd. 

Suddenly  wc  were  thrown  from  iht 
arms  of  the  social  activities  into  ihc 
jaws  of  ihe  awaiting  faculty  .  \i- 
semblics  on  manners,  little  lalL'.  ol 
advice,  assemblies  on  grades,  -lai 
more  little  talks  on  advice  .  .  .  I  inji

Although  many  ol  u^  failed  in  ^^'

Boaters  Prep  For  Opener  At  Towson  Friday 


IN  THE  PRESSBOX 

With  JOE  SZYMANSKI,  Sports  lidltor 


soccer   squad    appears    to 
L-r   to   be   assembled   under 


Washington  ColUge'-s.  1953  varsity 
1)L'  one  of  the  most  promising;  teams  c\ 
the  reins  of  Coach  Ed  Athcy. 

Because  the  Sho'mcn  will  participate  in  both  the  Mason-Dixon 
and  Middle  Atlantic  Conferences,  a  tough  schedule  has  been  ar- 
ranged with  Franklin  and  Marshall  of  Pennsylvania,  last  year's 
Middle  Atlantic  Champion  and  National  Collegiate  winner;  and 
Baltimore  University,  Mason-Dixon  leaders  four  years  in  a  row. 
ibotli  drawing  the  top-notch  bills  of  the  fall  season. 

Incidentally,  in  1952.  the  Maroon  and  Black  of  the  Eastern 
iShore  were  riding  along  on  a  four  game  winning  streak  until  they 
[ell  the  sting  of  the  Baltimore  Bees  and  were  handed  a  2  to  0  set- 
back.   But  this  year  has  another  story  to  tell! 

With  only  three  starters  back  from  the  '52  undefeated  eleven, 
those  being  all-South  goalie,  "Shuddeis"  Siedlicki,  halfback  Hank 
Wohlfort,  and  lineman  Dirk  Sutherland,  coach  Cal  Ermer  will  na^ 
turally  have  his  hands  full  in  a  rebuilding  process.  After  all,  liow 
many  seasons  can  a  team  go  undefeated?  His  teams  have  compiled 
a  record  of  approximately  32  consecutive  games  without  a  defeat 
the  past. 

However,  all  good  things  must  come  to  an  end,  and  I  feel 
as  I  know  other  teammates  do,  that  "If  wc  don't  beat  them  this 
year,  we'll  never  beat  them!" 

As  for  Franklin  and  Marshall,  the  Maroon  and  Black  would 
like  nothing  better  than  to  avenge  the  1951  tie,  2  to  2,  and  on 
Honieroming  Saturday,  October  17,  at  eleven  o'clock,  the  Sho'men 
will  get  that  chance.  A  great  deal  of  recognition  must  be  given  to 
tin-  Pennsylvanians  for  their  feat  in  being  acclaimed  National 
Champs  over  such  colleges  as  Penn  State.  West  Chester,  Navy, 
Army,  and  Temple.

hree  Washington  College  lacrovse 
players  were  honored  this  past  June 
n  named  to  the  -\ll-.\merica  squad. 
Leading  the  list  of  local  players  was 
John  tirim,  star  center  for  fonr  years. 
who  was  named  to  the  Second  All- 
.America  team.  Grim,  regarded  as  the 
liest  face-oir  man  in  collegiate  ball 
last  year,  led  his  team  in  scoring  dur- 
ing the  regular  season  and  was  an 
"iron-man"  of  the  first  order,  in  sev- 
eral games  be  played  sixty  minutes 
without  relief  at  a  position  usually 
calling  for  a  substitute  every  six  or 
eight    minutes. 

Bill  Russell  who,  along  with  Grim, 
was  co-captain  of  the  1953  Shore 
squad,  was  awarded  the  goalie's  posi- 
tion on  the  Third  .All-America  squad. 
Russell  averaged  nearly  twenty  saves 
a  game  during  the  season  when  his 
team  won  nine  and  lost  five  games. 
In  addition  to  his  .\iI-Aincrica  rating, 
Rus.sell  was  voted  the  best  goalie  in 
.Maryland  and  was  awarded  the  C. 
Markland  Kelly  plaque  for  this  dis- 
tinction. Washington  College  becomes 
custodian  for  1953-1954  of  the  Kelly 
trophy  upon  which  Russell's  name  is 
inscribed.  This  trophy  may  be  seen 
in  the  Old  Dean  of  Men's  office. 
Dick  Weller.  stellar  dcfcnscman  for 
two  years,  along  with  Bop  Lipsiti!  co- 
captain  of  the  1954  team,  won  All- 
Amerita  Honorable  Mention.  Weller 
is  one  of  the  finest  athletes  at  Wash- 
ington College  and  is  the  key  man 
in  Coach   Clark's  close  defense. 

In  addition  to  their  other  honors. 
Grim  and  Russell  were  chosen  to  the 
Southern  All-Siar  squad  which  defeat- 
ed the  Northern  All-Stars  in  Ba 
more  on  June  C.  Each  performed 
highly  creditable  fashion  in  their  12-9 
victory.  The  Southerners  were  tutored 
by  Washington's  coach,  Charley  Clark, 

Coach  Clark  has  been  "Mr.  I-a- 
trossc"  here  at  Washington  ever  since 
he  took  over  the  club  which  w; 
first  organized  here,  and  turned 
into  m\c  of  the  finest  intertollegiai 
teams   in    this  sector. 

Clajk  won  letters  in  4  sports  while 
in  high  school  and  starred  in  football 
arid  lacrosse  during  his  undergraduate 
years  at  the  Sho'  school.  He  turned 
out  excellent  baseball,  soccer  and 
track  teams  as  a  high  school  coach, 
before  turning  to  the  college  ranks. 

He  is  known  for  his  well  condition- 
ed teanvs  and  is  keen  in  arousing  spir- 
it and  hustle  in  his  men.  This  was 
one  major  factor  in  the  South  .Ml- 
Siar^'  win  last  Spring,  plus  skilled 
hamlling  of  the  slick  plays  and 
siitutions.  Coarfi  Clark  was  not  only 
a  credit  lo  his  school  and  team,  bur 
also   to  his  sport.

In  ihf  widespread  himy  lo  ^^'t'l' 
(oiiif  back  our  friends,  gci  inn  ntonis 
and  scUeduloi  ndjusicd,  gn»w  atru 
(onicd  onrc  more  to  HikIsihi  Hall 
lood  and  8:1:)  classes,  some  ol 
niav  have  overlooked  llic  prc>encc  of 
five  new  family  members  f>n  cam- 
pus. We  should  here  like  v*  extend 
ii  cordial  welcome  lo  them  all,  and 
inirodiicc  I  hem  one  I'y  one  to  'he 
student  body. 

We'll  begin  itie  introduction  with 
oiif  of  our  most  valuable  additions 
to  the  stalf.  She  comes  to  us  in  the 
pei'son  of  an  al  tractive  young  brii- 
jieiie.  Dr.  Anna  Lydja  Molto.  L'n- 
dmibiedly  you  have  seen  her  in  the 
dining  hall,  or  hurrying  on  way  to 
.1  class.  Don't  be  surprised  that  she 
i^  in  a  hurry — slic  has  a  full  teaching 
schedule  of  Spanish  and  Latin  to 
keep  her   that  way. 

Or,  Motto's  accent  betrays  her  as  a 
(rile  daughter  of  Manhatiani-she  was 
liiiscd  there  and  stayed  pretty  close  to 
home  Tor  her  education.  In  'i^G  she 
received  hci  B..\.  in  Latin  and  Greek 
from  Queens  College;  wasting  no 
lime,  she  Went  on  to  New  York  Uni- 
versity to  receive  her  M.A.,  in  1948- 
-Siill  ambitious,  she  coniiiiiu;d  her 
studies  in  Latin  and  Greek  al  the 
University  of  North  Carolina  and 
was  granted  her  Ph.D.  this  year.  She 
chose  AVashingion  College  over  sever- 
al  other  small  schools,  and  says  she 
h.is  not  been  disappointed  with  her 
decision.  In  laci,  she  thinks  the  cam- 
pus is  one  ol  the  most  beautiful  she 
has  ever  seen — hope  she  slill,  thinks 
that  after  our  inevitable  monsoon  sea- 
son. 

Ill  spilt  of  her  early  urban  back- 
Sioiind,  Dr.  Motto  is  accustomed  to 
>mall  town  life  from  her  recent  stay, 
ill  Chapel  Hill.  She  likes  Chcstcrtown. 
and  finds  the  citizens  very  Friendly- 
I  he  students,  too.  have  been  warm 
with  their  welcome,  and  the  new 
teacher  says  that  she  appreciates  their 
spirit.  She  has  not  yet  had  time  to 
investigate  W.  C.'s  extra-curricular 
activities  ihorotighly,  but  is  interested 
-in  campus  alTaira  and  organizations, 
.\ccording  to  her  report,  she  has  no 
hobbies  but  music — loves  everything 
but  jazz. 

The  only  thing  Dr.  Molto  finds 
lacking  on  our  campus  is  an  avid 
class  of  advanced  Latin  and  Creek 
students.  She  is  eager  to  locate  fellow 
classics — lovers,  and  would  like  to 
teach  Greek  along  with  her  present 
load  of  Spanish  and  Latin.  More 
[ii.wer  lo  her!  1  hope  her  present  good 
keling    (or   Us   lasts.

wouldn't  be  caught  dead  at!  .  .  ,  Af- 
ter the  dance  almost  everyone  had  to 
admit  they  had  a  good  time  and  that 
the  upper  classmen  didn't  look  so  bad 
after    all. 

-Vs  the  week  came  to  a  close  the 
gripes  seemed  to  be  overshadowed  by 
the  praise  ,  .  .  The  dorm  rooms  were 
beginning  to  look  like  home  despite 
creaking  beds  and  falling  walls;  the 
food  wasn't  -so  bad  even  though  the 
wallers  took  your  plate  away  still 
half  full;  the  late  hours  which 
weren't  really  late,  but  considering 
what  was  to  come  were  heaven:  and 
finally,  the  mail  from  home  you 
couldn't  get  to  because  your  mail  box 

IS  stuck. 

But  now  that  week  of  glory  has  end- 
ed ..  .  The  upper  classmen  who  were 
once  merely  onlookers  are  now  the 
overseers  .  .  .  Now  we  can  be  undis- 
putably   called   the  lowly   Freshmen.

Numerous  cars  are  still  visible  on 
the  college  parking  grounds  without 
their  campus  stickers  on  display.  Re 
ports  of  overnight  parking  in  pro- 
hibited areas  have  been  turned  in 
regularfy  to  the  Dean's  office.  Some 
cars  are  parked  so  cIo.sc  to  driveways, 
on  the  streets  near  the  college,  that 
the  owners  of  (he  homes  have  diffi- 
culty in  taking  their  cars  out  in  the 
morning. 

Campus  summons  have  been  is. 
sued  as  part  of  a  campaign  lo  re- 
mind all  automobile  users  that  our 
parking  problem  is  chronic.  In 
past  parking  offenders  have  been 
warned  for  lirsi  offenses  and  fmed 
one  dollar  for  each  succeeding  of- 
fense.   This    policy    is  still   effective. 

I  am  most  hopeful  that  the  drivers 
of  this  community  can  appreciate  that 
our  parking  problem  is  one  that  we 
share  not  only  with  other  education, 
al  institutions,  but  with  towns  and 
cities  all  over  the  country.  This  col 
lege  is  in  fact  relatively  fortunate; 
conditions  at  most  institutions  are 
far  worse  than'  they  are  here.  To 
lind  one  small  space  within  fourteen 
blocks  of  Columbia  University 
quires  s,toutness  of  heart  enough 
wail  upV  to  an  hour,  double  parked, 
until  someone  leaves  a  space  in  (he 
same    block. 

If    we   can    accept    iwo   remedies   we 

can    reduce    this    problem    to   a    mini- 

miun.  All  drivers  should  exert  the  ut- 

most  care  to  park  as  close  to  the  ad-

A.A.Houghton 
To  Speak  Here 


Arthur  Armory  Houghton,  Jr 
President  of  Steuben  Glass.  Inc..  noted 
book  collector,  and  former  curator  of 
rare  books  at  Ihe  Library  of  Con- 
gress, will  be  the  principal  speaker 
at  the  Washington  College  Homccom. 
ing    Convocation    on    October    17. 

Now  president  of  Steuben  Glass, 
Inc..  Mr.  Houghton  went  lo  work 
with  the  Coming  Glass  Works  in 
the  manufacturing  department,  twen- 
ty-four years  ago.  In  1933  he  asked 
his  family,  who  controlled  Corning 
Class,  for  the  money-losing  Steuben 
subsidiary  and  by  1935  he  had  made 
Steuben    a   success. 

\Vhile  developing  ihc  nianagemen 
of  Steuben  Glass  he  became  interesi 
ed  in  the  improvement  of  understand- 
ing between  businessmen  and  educa- 
tors, particularly  the  contribulion  of 
the  humanities  to  business.  Though 
industry  has  become  well  aware  of 
Ihe  importance  of  teclniical  and  engi- 
neering training  to  our  economy,  it 
is  not  clearly  convinced,  as  Mr. 
Houghton  is.  of  the  importance  of 
study  of  philosophy,  literature,  and 
the  arts  to  the  production  of  the  high- 
est  type  of  business  executive. 

He  graduated  from  Harvard  with 
a  well  developed  taste  for  rare  and 
fine  books  and  his  activities  as  a  col- 
lector since  that  lime  are  too  nu- 
merous for  delailed  comment.  Mr. 
Houghtcm's  private  collection  is  rich 
in  Spenser,  Lewis  Carroll,  and  con. 
lains  among  oilier  rarities,  a  Guten- 
berg Bible,  the  first  four  folios  of 
Shakespeare,  a  prescnlarion  copy  of 
Ben  Johnson's  "Works".  1616,  and  a 
piesentalion  copy  of  Chapman's 
Homer".  Also  in  his  collection  arc 
manuscripts  of  Samuel  Pepys,  auto- 
gi  aphed  letters  of  the  Brownings. 
Samuel  Johnson,  James  Boswell  (in- 
cluding the  original  manuscript  of 
his  "Life  of  Johnson")  and  the  orig. 
miK  of  Chesterfield's  ledcrs  lo  his 
godson. 

In  UI42  be  volunteered  and  was 
LOinmissioned  a  Captain  in  the  Army 
\ii  Forces.  He  served  on.  the  staff  of 
the  -Vrmy  Air  Forces  Iiitelligence 
Sihool  and  later  as  Chairman,  .Aca- 
demic Planning  Board,  .\rmy  Air 
lortes  Technical  Service  Command. 
He  wa.s  disiharged  in  .194-)  with  ihe 
lank   of  Lieuicnaiu  Colonel. 

Mr.  Houghton's  alfilialiofis  with  ed- 
ucaiion,  literature,  art,  and  libraries 
aic  extensive,  In  addition  to  being 
actively  engaged  in  those  matters,  he 
has  served  on  a  numl>cr  of  public 
service  commiiiecs  and  has  also  been 
an  active  member  of  many  charit- 
able organ  iiations. 


Lorraine  Merritt,  noted  portrait  artist,  is  having  a  one-man 
how  in  tht^  Bunting  Library  on  October  16th,  17th  and  18th.  The 
show  will  include  work  done  in  the  past  two  years  and  will  consist 
)f  portraits,  landscapes  and  still  life. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  ibat  Lor. 
raine  Merritt,  a  resident  of  Ches- 
teriown  for  the  past  nine  years,  started 
painting  just  four  years  ago  as  her 
answer  lo  what  one  should  do  now 
that  the  children  have  grown.  Gret- 
chen  Wood,  also  of  Chestertown, 
taught  her  the  fundamentals.  Later 
she  studied  under  Jerry  Farnsworth, 
the  famous  portrait  instructor,  for 
three  years  and*  has  since  demonsiarted 
such  remarkable  talent  that  Mr. 
Farnsworth,  in  effect,  said  ihat  the 
has  "graduated." 

Mrs.  Merritt  has  done  commission 
portrait  work,  in  Mississippi.  Connecli. 
cut,  Florida  and  Illinois.  This  is  the 
second  one-man  show  for  Mrs.  Merrill 
and  many  of  her  works  have  been 
included  in  art  shows  from  California 
to  the  East  Coa.st.

Since  Monday,  September  28,  all 
Ireshnien  students  have  been  carrying 
out  a  tradition  that  has  gone  on  at 
W.  C.  for  quite  some  time — that  of 
having. 

Students,  who  for  some  reason  or 
other  have  failed  to  abide  by  the  rules 
of  hazing  set  up  by  the  Sophonmrc 
Hazing  Committee,  have  found  in 
their  mail  boxes  an  extra  slip  of 
paper.  These  slips  of  paper,  known 
to  quite  a  few  freshmen  as  a  summons, 
request  an  appearance  before  the  haz. 
ing  court.  .\s  punishment  for  disobey- 
ing the  rules  of  hazing,  the  fresh- 
men have  had  to  do  various  con- 
structive duties  such  as  pulling  grass 
from  around  the  bricks  in  front  of 
Bill  Smith  Hall,  cutting  grass  around 
the  flagpole  with  scissors,  cleaning 
the  pond  in  front  of  Dunning  Hall 
and  polishing  door  knobs  and  fixtures 
in  Hodson  Hall.  Then  there  arc  the 
freshmen  who  are  all  fellow  members 
of  the  Rhodent  Club,  wearing  the  pop. 
ular  sign  "I  am  a  rat." 

The  sophomores  responsible  for  the 
distribution  of  the  above  penalties 
are  Ed  Silverie,  Marie  Pasquarello, 
.\nn  Grim,  Barbara  Locker,  J.  Aldo 
Ciallo.  Chuck  Covington  and  Ralph 
Laws    of    the    sophomore    jury    panel. 

Draft  Deferment  Test  To 

Be  Given  Here  Nov.  19 

Emphasizing  that  the  results  of  the 
Selective  Service  College  Defermeni 
test  are  important  in  basing  defer 
meiits,  Ermon  Foster,  Registrar,  lasi 
week  urged  that  all  male  students  of 
draft  age  take  the  scheduled  examina- 
tion on  November  19.  .Applications 
should  be  mailed  at  once  and  must 
be  mailed  by  November  2.  The  three- 
hour  test  will  be  given  at  the  college 
under    Mr.    Foster's   supervision. 

Mr.  Foster  said  that  a  local  draft 
board  considers  an  individual's  test 
score  and  his  class  rank  before  giving 
deferments.  A  good  score  on  the  test 
might  influence  the  board  if  an  in- 
diviflual's  class  rank  were  in  the  low- 
er half,   he  added.

i|uiic  a  LiiRe  pan  of  onr  country.  He 
was  born  in  \'isalia.  California,  raised 
in  Oklahoma  and  was  graduated  from

gets  a  chance  In  avenge  last  ycar'v  defeat  at  the  hands  of  L.  .^ 
College. 

Many  alumni  and  friends  wil!  return  and  upperrlassincn  an 
anxious  to  gix'Ll  those  who  have  hern  long  lo^t  to  tlie  Sho',  school. 
But  wlial  group  on  cainpns  is  patienily  waiting  for  their  own 
private  celebration  on  October  23  ? 

That's  right — the  Freshmen!  During  the  past  3  weeks,  tht\ 
have  been  studying  ihe  rule  honks  and  training  a  team  for  the 
tug-of-uar  which  will  end  Fre.^hman  Hazing.  That  is,  if  they  win. 

In  previous  vcars  however,  there  wa.<;  Httlc  question  about  the 
l.ict  that  the  tug-of-war  would  definitely  end  hazing.  The  freshmen 
had  given  the  sophs  such  a  difficult  time  during  the  hazing  period, 
the  second  year  students  were  glad  to  get  the  Frosh  "off  their 
necks". 

Raids  tlirough  Sophomore  dorms,  shaveii  heads,  rebel  signs. 
and  painted  bodies  were  a  common  occurence.  But  it  looks  like 
the  upperclassmen  have  the  upper  hand  this  year. 

A  quote  from  Ralph  Laws  ';eems  to  have  prov.  n  this:  "I'm 
not  really  in  favor  of  hazing,  but  wc  derided  to  be  tough  this 
\ear  and  make  thii  hazing  stick." 

When  this  intjuiring  reporter  asked  j.  Atdo  Gallo  why  the 
Frosh  hadn't  rebelled  due  to  such  rigid  hazing  punishment,  J. 
replied.  "Thev're  too  petrified!" 

Well.  thatS  the  way  It  goe^  in  sports.  So  until  the  tug-of-war 
reniember,  "Squan-  That  Beanie!"

Draft . . . 

(Continued  from  Page  1) 

He  pointed  out  that  failure  lo  take 
the  tcsi  could  result  in  a  draft  call, 
since  the  draft  board  might  then 
consider  a  student  noi  interested 
enough  to  want  a  deferment.  Mr.  Fos- 
ter  advised  taking  the  November  test, 
rather  than  waiting  for  another  one 
in  April,  so  that  the  draft  boards 
would  be  notified  of  the  siudeni's  in- 
tentions  as   soon   as   possible. 

(^ou)plele  instructions  and  infor-

I  he  Community  Concert  Scries  gets 
.iudevway  this  Thursday  evening. 
October  15,  in  William  Smith  Audi, 
toriuni  on  the  Washington  College 
rampns.  The  curtain  will  go  up  at 
8:00  on  The  Afatinec  Opera  Compa- 
ny piescniing  Humperdinck's  immor- 
tal "Hansel  and  Crctcl."  Critics  all 
over  tlic  country  have  applauded  the 
performance.  The  Musical  Couricv 
says,  "Musically  they  project  the 
freshness  and  charm  of  ihc  smrc— 
the  portrayals  arc  spirited  and  in 
characici". 

EngcllJert  Huinperdinck,  composer 
of  "Hansel  and  Ciretcl".  was  bom  in 
1854    in    Germany    and   rose     rapidly 


to  a  high  pinnacle  of  populai  laine 
His  masterpiece.  "Hansel  and  Oictel". 
first  given  in  Weimar  in  1893  immcdi. 
ately  captivated  all  music  lovers  so 
that  it  lan  a  rapid  coursa  the  world 
over.  No  oilier  opera  has  a  stoi7 
just  righ'i  lor  children  of  all  ages 
combined  with  music  of  a  major 
operatic  woik.  Dillicull  aa  the  music 
...  it  seems  simple  because  it  is  per- 
'(crtlv  suited  to  the  words  and  scenes. 
While  the  standards  or  The  Mali, 
nee  Opera  Company  arc  strictly  pro- 
fessional, its  underlying  principle  is 
to  carry  to  communities  outside  the 
large  centers,  a  simple  but  not  sim. 
plified    production    of   ojiems. 


Meet  the  Faculty 

MR.  GROVES 


(Tills  is  a  second  in  a  series  ol 
articles  introducing  new  faculty 
and  administrative  appointments 
at  Washington  College  this  year,) 


One  of  the  most  important  admin- 
istrative  jobs   on    campus    is    in    the 
hands  ihk  year  of  an  energetic  gentle- 
who  may  look  strangely    familiar 
to  the   upperclass  students.  Hi^   famil- 
ippcarancc  is  easily  explained,  for 
nni    Secretary    Bedford    J.    Groves 
has   been    an   alumnus  of  Washington 
College    himself    for    only    two    years. 
Juniors    and    seniors    will    surely     re- 
lember  his  checking  their  attendance 
I    assembly    every    Thursday,    for    he 
as  an  "administrative  assistant"  even 
before  he  graduated. 

Indeed.   Mr.   Groves   cannot    remem. 

her  the  days  when  he  was  a  stranger 

IO  W,C.  He  is  a  native  Kent  Countian, 

tended  Chestcriown  High  School  and 

then     became    an     English     major 

Washington,  graduating  cum  laude  in 

132.  Last  year  he  served  as  assistant 

Ihc  manager  of  Chesicrtown  Mills, 

nylon  tricot  knitting  plant,  but  was 

called     back     lo    his    alma     mater 

replace  Spence  Robinson. 

As  ahimni  secretary.  Mr.  Groves 
coordinates  the  activities  of  the  Alui 
ni  Association  and  its  branches  in 
Washington.  Baltimore,  Wilmington 
Philadelphia  and  New  York,  In  ad 
dition  he  is  editor  of  the  .Alumni 
Bulletin    and    other    news    release^    of 


he  college,  and  pciroiins  myriad  other 
services  foi  W.C.  alumni  at  home  and 
abroad.  At  pi-eseni  his  office  is  bustling 
with  prc-homeconting  activity — a  great 
deal  of  the  preparation  for  this  annual 
college  fcie  is  made  by  |he  alumni 
director  and  his  .stalT. 

You  can  readily  see  that  Nfi.  Groves 
is  a  busy  man.  hut  he  finds  time 
for  hobbies  in  -spite  of  a  full  working 
schedule  and  the  mischief  of  his  two 
active  young  daughters.  For  pure  relax- 
ation he  enjoys  fishing.  In  a  iiio^e 
serious  vein  however,  he  indulges  in 
some  creative  writing — several  of  his 
works  have  l>een  published  and  h< 
hopes  to  make  the  Saturday  Evening 
Past  one  of  these  days.  We  all  wish 
him  luck,  and  bet  he  makes  a  liierav 
hit  before  long! 


Insurance  statistics  prove  thai 
hunting  actually  is  one  of  the  safesi 
of  sports,  and  it  could  be  made  more 
so  if  the  juvenile  factor  in  acciden" 
could  be  whittled  down.

PIGSKIN  PARADE?    FORGET  IT! 

-Will  football  return  to  llic  Washington  campus  soon? 
what  many  of  the  Ahimni  asked  when  tiny  returned  to  their 
Alma  Mater  last  week-end. 

Tlie  slud^'nls  here  know  as  little  about  it  as  the  Alumni.  The 
nimor  has  popped  up  each  Fall,  ever  sinee  the  gridiron  sport  was 
dropped  in  1951  due  to  lack  of  funds  and  the  decline  in  the  male 
enrollment. 

Did  school  spirit  get  buried  in  the  football  grave?  Definitely! 
Weekly  pep  rallies  were  a  common  occurrence.  Students  followed 
the  team  to  games  in  Baltimore  and  Virginia.  Hopkins  and  Western 
Mary-land  became  staunch  rivals  of  the  "Mighty  Sho'mcn".  Pre- 
game  predictions  and  a  close  following  of  the  Conference  race  \va.s 
part  of  campus  life,  just  like  attending  classes. 

Washington  never  did  carry  record  breaking  gridiron  crowds, 
but  those  who  attended  the  games  on  a  crisp  Fall  afternoon  cheered 
the  team  to  \-ictory  or  defeat  and  felt  like  their  school  was  a  part 
of  a  grand  old  American  tradition— football!  It  definitely  addi-d 
to  the  color  of  college  life  and  brought  added  publicity  to  our 
Shore  school. 

Recognition,  a  well-rounded  varsity  athletic  program,  attract- 
ing new  students,  and  prcserv-ing  school  spirit,  were  all  by-products 
of  football. 

But  the  sport  takes  funds,  and  plenty  of  them.  Athletes  must 
be  offered  working  scholarships,  wliich  arc  limited  here,  not  only 
in  number,  but  in  subsidy.  Coaches,  equipment,  and  traveling  all 
add  up  to  more  expense,  More  than  this  school  will  ever  be  willing 
to  put  out  again. 

"We'll  get  football  back  stKin."  claim  many  people,  and  its 
been  that  way  for  3  years.  Don't  raise  your  hopes,  for  I  have  little 
doubt  that  it  will  be  quite  something,  if  ever,  that  Washington 
College  returns  to  the  'Pigskin  Parade'. 


Show  Me  The  Way 
To  Go  Home 


When  I  walked  into  the  annor^-,  on  Homecoming  night. 

The  sign  on  the  bandstand,  was  quite  an  amusing  sight. 

Thr  words  on  it  read:  "Show  Me  The  Way  To  Go  Home', 

I  paid  no  attention  to  it,  but  filled  my  glass  with  foam. 

"Now  be  careful,"  urged  my  date,  "and  don't  drink  too  much." 

"I  ain't  the  kind,"  says  I,  "to  do  a  thing  as  such!" 

Ttie  Alumni  all  arrived,  and  really  filled  that  hall, 

.And  (■\-eryone  was  living,  havin'  a  real  gone  ball! 

Then  came  intermission,  the  crowning  of  the  Queen, 

And  Jo  Budd  reigned  all  evening,  a  Queen  quite  supreme. 

The  Frat  songs  rung  out,  every  voice  was  able, 

And  Mickey  held  a  revival,  on  top  of  a  table! 

Johnny  Bennett  and  his  band,  they  just  wouldn't  stop. 

Especially  when  we  whooped  it  up,  in  the  good  ole  Bunny  Hop! 

'Round  about  12:30.  I  glanced  up  on  the  wall. 

And  saw  pink  elephants,  joining  in  on  our  ball!  • 

Had  the  Art  Club  put  them  up  there,  for  decoration  by  chance? 

The  Art  Club  sure  was  clever,  to  put  up  elephants  that  could 

dance! 
The  people  started  spinning  around,  the  room  was  filled  with 

laughter, 
I  saw  an  elephant  fly  out  from,  a  dark  dingy-  rafter. 
*Twas  then  I  turned  to  my  dale  ,and  said  in  a  pleading  tone. 
"Honey,  do  me  a  favor,  'Show  Me  The  Way  To  Go  Home!'  "

PACE  THREE 


Th  inclads  Prep  For  Del-Mar  Championsh  ip  Race 


ATHLETE'S  FEAT 

By  WAYNF,  GRl'EHN 


Rounding  oui  his  last  year  at  Washington  Colli-gc-  is  Douglas 
Si-liiiar  Tillcy  who  hails  from  Kcnnctt  Squart\  Pa.  A  senior.  Dous 
will  leave  behind  him  a  rather  impressive  record  of  accomplishments 
on  the  soccer  field,  the  basketball  court  and  the  baseball  diamond. 
It  was  the  same  story  when  he  graduated  from  Kennett  Square 
High  School,  having  been  a  member  of  the  varsity  soccer,  basket- 
ball and  baseball  teams,  each,  for  three  years. 

When  he  enrolled  at  Washington,  it  wasn't  long  before  he 
\\;\s  in  the  maroon  and  black  uniform  as  a  starting  member  of 
ilir  soccer  squad.  Came  the  winter,  and  Doug  played  a  season  of 
ba<>ketball  on  the  J-V  team.  Unfortunately  for  him,  Washington 
had  no  baseball  team  that  year,  and  Doug's  talents  went  unused. 

His  sophomore  year,  Doug  again  made  the  first  string  in  soccer 
and  ended  up  the  season  with  a  berth  on  the  all-conference  squad. 
That  year  also  saw  Mr.  Tilley  on  the  varsity  basketball  squad, 
and  as  one  of  the  first  to  show  up  for  practice  when  baseball  re- 
turned to  the  campus. 

As  expected,  last  year's  soccer  team  ended  with  Doug  again  on 
llic  all  Mason-Dixon  squad,  and  after  the  last  basket  was  scored 
and  the  final  out  made,  record  books  had  the  name  of  "Tilley- 
guard"  and  "Til!ey-2nd-Basp"  written  on  their  pages  for  game 
after  game. 

Versatile  To  Say  The  Least 

For  Instance,  anyone  playing  against  Doug,  will  find  a  5-foot 
;9-inch.  165  pound  dynamo,  who  will  look  to  his  right,  call  a  man 
who's  on  his  left  and  with  either  foot,  kick  the  ball  to  the  front 
of  him,  many  times  pa^t  a  goalie  and  into  the  net.  It  is  ability 
«irh  as  this  that  earned  Doug  a  co-captainship  on  the  .soccer  team 
and  a,s  ca[ftain  of  Coach  Kibler's  baseball  squad  this  year.  As  if 
this  wasn't  enough,  Doug  in  his  junior  year  received  the  Simper's 
Athletic  Award. 

.\s  treasurer  of  Theta  Clii,  and  President  of  the  Varsity  Club, 
Doug  majors  in  Economics  and  will  be  receiving  his  diploma  this 
June.  However,  first  things  first,  and  so  on  this  coming  January 
30th  Doug  will  store  another  goal  when  he  starts  in  the  serious 
game  of  matrimony. 

After  graduation?  Well  that  depends  on  Uncle  Sam.  but  Doug 
is  heading  for  the  business  world. 

An  impressive  record?  Certainly.  And  above  it  all,  Washington 
College  can  be  proud  of  the  true  sportsmanship  exemplified  by  Doug 
in  every  game  he  ever  played. 

Some  might  smile  at  that  .statement,  but  when  it  comes  down 
to  fair-play,  Doug  Tilley  has  shown  that  it  takes  more  than  ability 
to  be  an  athlete. 

And  Doug  i.s  an  athlete.

lied  for  first  place  were  Washing- 
tmi's  Nfickey  DiMaggio  and  Lou  Unci;.' 
ley,  who  li.id  previously  placed  sec- 
ond and  third  on  October  6  against 
lowson. 

Sho'mtn  Ktxne  lilaker,  td  Baiv, 
diaries  King,  ElLs  Royd,  Lou  .\ltmark, 
and  (Jeoige  liichelbeiger  placed  fourth 
fifth,  sLxth,  seventh,  eighth  and  tenth 
respectively.  Coach  William  McElroy's 
green  and  grey  took  third,  ninth,  elev- 
enth, twelfth,  ihriteenth,  and  four- 
teenth places, 

I  lii<  was  the  second  Sho'  Harrier 
victory  in  the  Mas(m-Di\oii  Confer- 
ence, raising  their  record  to  two  and 
one.  \  deciding  factor  in  the  out- 
come of  the  nicet  w:is  the  e-tccllcni 
ainditioning  of  the  Shoremen,  which 
Coach  SmitJi  has  insisted  on  through, 
out  the  season.  He  staltxl,  "If  the 
squad  keeps  working,  the  future  looks 
bright,  and  they  ought  to  be  a  tough 
team  to  l>eat."

National  Champs 
Stop  Shoremen 


\Vashingtoii  Cullegc  fell  Irom  the  un. 
defeated  ranks  last  Satiuday.  October 
17,  as  last  year's  N'aiional  Champions, 
Franklin  and  Marshall,  btmibled  Ihc 
.Maro,in  and  Black,  3  to  I  before  the 
annual  MomcLoming  crowd  on  Kibler 
Filed. 

The  sole  Sho'man   goal    was   scored 
in    the    third    periiKl    by   Doug   Tillp\ 
who  although  injured  during  the  .se< 
ond  tpiarter,  was  able  to  outmaneuve 
the    I'ennsylvanian    defense    wiih    hi 
tricky   footwork,  and    tally.   Ed    Horn 
mas    scored    in    the    tir.st    quarter    for 
Franklin  and  Maishall  when  he  headed 
a  hard  shot  from  the  20  yard  marki 
past  Joe  Szymanski,  Washington  goali 
Bob   Elliot   scored    the   remaining  tw 
goals  in  the  third  and  fourth  quarie; 
on   low  cro.ssc.%  into  the  lower  corners 
of  the  net.   Special   recognition   is  due 
to  center  halfback  and  co-capiain  Rod 
Ware     of     Rcthesda,     Vtd..     who     was 
judged  the  outstanding  plavtt  on   the 
field  t)y  the  referees. 

It  was  the  third  win  this  vear  for 
Fmnklin  and  Marshall,  who  was  un- 
defeated and  untied  last  season,  scor- 
ing ihrity-three  goaf.s  and  having  but 
nine  stored  again.st  ihem. 

The  Shoremen  threatened  to  store 
thnnighoiit  most  of  the  first  quarter, 
having  many  shots  bounce  off  the 
opposing  goal  posLs.  Coath  A  they 
states  that,  "If  we  had  scored  during

ton  College  soccer  team  will  cncoumei 
its  ser»md  Middle  Atlantic  Conference 
game  "f  the  19,13  sc.tson  when  it  meets 
a  highly  rated  contender,  Delaware 
University,  on   Kibler  Field  at  2  p.m. 

Beaten  -M  in  last  vear's  ski^lni^h 
with  the  Maroon  and  Black,  Dela- 
ware would  like  nothing  l>etiei-  than 
to  even  the  .store  by  licking  tht 
Sho'inen  on  Saturday.  Seven  returning 
:rmen  arc  back  to  strengthen  ih^ 
rival  team,  which  recently  lost  -a 
hard  fought  game  to  highly  i^tetk 
West  Chester.  7-3. 

The  Sho'  team  is  not  to  be  over- 
looked when  it  comes  to  experience. 
Washington  has  included  in  iLs  start- 
ing line-up  eight  starters  who  per- 
fgrincd  in  last  year's  victorious  contest. 

Captains  Doug  Tilley  and  Rod 
Ware  scored  two  of  the  four  goals 
from  their  halfback  position  in  last 
year's  game. 

The  probable  line-up  for  Washing- 

n  will  he:  goalie.  Joe  Szymanski;  full- 
hack.s,  IVie  Williams  and  Jack  Jen- 
nigs;  halfbacks,  Joe  Gcisslcr,  Rod  Ware 
and  Ted  Beddois';  linemen,  Dick  Wei. 
ler.  Bob  Appleby,  Roger  Smoot.  Doug 
Tilley  and  Barrv  Bums. 


It  i.s  expected  to  be  a  rough  insscl 
from  Stan  to  finish,  however.  Coach 
,\Lhey  Feels  confident  that  if  the  team 
plays  the  game  it  is  capable  ut  playing, 
the  chances  of  defeating  the  Blue 
Hens  again,  are  good.

fieih  1 1  inn  an  overwhelming  vit- 
loi-y  o\ei  Loyola  College,  the  Sho' 
harrieis  are  looking  lorward  to  show- 
iiig  their  heels  to  the  oilier  rnniiers 
III  the  Det-Mai  Championship  nic-ci 
this  Saturday.  OiUiher  HI),  at  CliKon 
Park,  llaltimore.  lime  tor  llie  i^eni 
is  3  I'.M. 

1  lie  local  Ihinclads  will  have  their 
work  cut  out  ior  them,  with  Balti- 
more Olympic  Club,  Iowm)ii  leadi- 
cis,  and  Caihiilit  \.k  pioviding  liic 
opposition.  Couth  Smith's  proteges, 
with  two  decisive  victories  in  three 
engagements,  rate  a  good  thani-e  ol 
winning    top   meet   honors. 

Leading  the  held  lor  W.C.  will  be 
.Mickey  UiMaggio  and  Lew  Buckley, 
who,  against  Loyola,  noised  the  tape 
for  a  hrsi-placc  tic.  Boili  have  run 
the  three  mile  distance  uk  less  than 
lii  minutes  several  times  this  year. 
J  hey  will  be  ready  to  better  their 
previous  leuirds  when  they  run 
against  the  combined  oppi>Mliun  ol 
the  other  teams. 

Last  year  DiMaggio  came  in  ihifd 
and  Buckley  eighth  in  the  Champiim. 
.*hip.  \Uhuugh  he  didn't  join  ilic 
squad  until  after  the  season  had  be- 
gun, Keene  Blaker  was  out.sianding 
against  Johns  Hopkins  and  Loyola, 
finishing  in  the  top  live  both  times. 
Aiioihcr  standout  has  been  Chuck 
King,  a  freshman  who  never  ran  a 
race  Ijcfore  tbi.s  fall,  but  who  has  con- 
sistently been  one  of  the  team's  earl- 
ier finishers. 

Winner  of  the  previous  three  meets 
and  favored  to  repeat  is  the  Balti- 
more Olympic  Club,  although  Merle 
Cronse,  last  year'.s  winner,  isn't  with 
the  team  this  year-  But  Coach  Bill 
Jimeson  has  a  well  rounded  squad 
that  Iriumphed  over  Howard  L'.  in 
B.O.C.'s  season  opener  rccenilv.  Joe 
Rouse,  Henry  .SthaBer  and  Ray 
Horsley  make  up  a  triple  threat  for 
iTic  Olympians,  whose  club  is  composed 
of  former  c*>nege  and  high  .school 
stars  who  have  graduated  or  lell 
sch(^>l  but  are  still  interested  in  the 
bill  and  dale  spurt. 

lowson  has  been  second  in  the 
total  meet  for  two  straight  years. 
A  kt-en  duel  U  expected  hciween 
DiMaggio  and  Keith  Wilson  of  low- 
son,  Ihc  Sho'  ate  came  in  vetond 
to  WiLson  in  [he  W,C.-lowson  <l"al 
meet  this  year,  but  l)eai  the  Towson 
harrier  in  the  1952  Del-Mar  encounter. 

Medals  will  Ixr  awarded  to  the  (irsi 
20  men  to  cross  the  finish  line,  and 
Coach  Smith  hopes  to  have  all  ol 
his  runners  recipients  of  these  awards. 
Although  Coach  Smith  would  like  to 
have  one  of  his  men  come  in  first, 
he  stresses  the  fact  that  the  team 
that  wins  a  meet  is  the  one  that 
achieves  the  most  "f  the  first  ten 
plates.  It  Is  with  this  belief  that  he 
i>  confidently  expecting  the  Maroon 
and  Black  to  run  off  with  top  laurels. 

Running  for  the  Shoremen  will  be: 
Mickey  DiMaggio,  Lew  Buckley,  Lou

Shoremen  Play  Fourth  Tie; 
Deadlock  Gettysburg,  0-0 


VViishinglon     College     remained 
thieiit  in  MiddU-.Ailnnuf  CijiiriTcore 
competition   as   it   deadlocked   a   \ 
defemledl  Gettv-sbuiif   eleven,  0-0,   last 
Thursday     on     thr     Pennsylvanians" 
Pitch. 

The  Shoivmen  outplayed  The  En- 
aineers  ofTensively,  taking  32  shots 
without  dinting  the  oppOiim;  nets. 
Goalie  GeoiTtc  Sims  played  one  of 
the  gnatrst  iiaines  of  his  life  against 
the  ChrsUTtown  hooters. 

The  Shore  drfense,  in  comparison, 
allowed  only  '2  shots  to  be  lired  at 
the  ponl  as  Joe  Szymanski  made  sev- 
eral well  executed  saves  to  preserve 
the  Sho"  shutout. 

At  one  time  during  the  third  per- 
iod, inside  left  lineman  Doug  Tillej.-, 
hail  trnia>scd  more  shots  hlimcU  than 
had  the  entire  GcHysburg  team  to- 
gether. Sims  was  on  the  spot  lo  stop 

em      however,    and     the    score     re- 

.lined  blank. 

Thi'  Washington  learn  was  in  goqd 
condition,  playing  on  -  a  field  which 
i-as  100  yards  by  30  yards,  b<-ing 
ised  to  Kibler  Field  which  is  120 
aids  by  50  yards. 

The  halfback  coinbinnlion  of  Rod 
Ware,  Joe  Geisslcr,  Mort  Lenane  and 
Ted  Biddow  reprattdlv  placed  the 
ball    in    the-    possession  of  the  Maroon 

id  Bl.ick  linesmen.  It  was  just  a  ques- 

in    throughout    of   who    would    kick 
the  winning  goal,  but  none  of  the  32 
!tcitipt.s  dented  the  nets. 

Two    five   minute   overtime    periods 

ere   tailed,   during  which   time   Get- 

sburg  played  mostly  defense,  as  the 
Athcymcn    fired    5    times    at    Sims. 

Refcn-es  Kraft  and  Williams  hand- 
led the  i;ame  splendidly  as  they  kept 
both  tiatns  constantly  in  action  and 
hustling  competitively.  Very  few  pen- 
alties wen-  called  during  the  lontest. 
lie  Shore  team  played  well,  but 
added  another  lie  to  the  record  book. 
This  was  the  fourth  tie  for  the  Shore- 
men, along  with  I  win.  I  loss.  The 
1  is  still  unbeaten  in  Mason-Dixon 
competition. 

It    was    the    second    shutout    of    the 

ason    for    the     Chcsterlown    hooters, 

vian    humbled    Loyola,    3-0. 

Coafh    Ed    Athev    is    e.-iperimmting 


with  a  new  line-up  in  pratlice  sessions 
by  replacing  Roger  Smoot  with  Doug 
Tilley  at  center  forward  moving  Smoot 
out  lo  Ihe  right  wing  and  shifting 
Dick  Wellcr  to  his  old  righl  insidi 
position.  This  is  an  attempt  to 
stn-ngthcn  the  scoring  punch  and 
solve  Ihe  pliigue  of  ties.  The  T'

Rieser  Praises 
W.  C.  Players 


Mr,     Allan     Rieser,    a     New 
specialist    in    the    theatre,    was 


York 
as  here 
October  25.  Mr.  Riescr  is  'he 
author  of  several  plays  and  is  a 
member  of  the  New  DramatisLs'  Com- 
mittee, an  organization  of  playwrights. 
Mr.  Rieser  conferred  with  a  few  of. 
fleers  of  the  Washington  Players, 
spoke  highly  of  the  function  of  the 
college  and  universal  theatre  as  out- 
lets for  an  experimental  drama,  un. 
publicized  playwrights,  and  seldom- 
produced  classics.  He  noted  the  ten- 
dency common  among  small  group 
theatres  to  produce  shoddy  Droad- 
way  plays  of  little  originality  or  dra- 
matic value.  He  discussed  the  ten- 
dency of  Broadway  producers  to  lim. 
it  themselves-  to  purely  commercial 
and  derivative  themes. 

On  Monday  morning,  bv  invitation 
of  Dean  Bradley,  Mr.  Riescr  appear- 
ed before  the  Shakespearean  class  and 
commented  briefly  on  characteriza- 
tions and  literary  types  in  Shake- 
spearean drama,  Mr.  Meigs,  whom 
Dean  Bradley  had  also  invited,  then 
continued  a  discussion  of  Mr.  Rieser' 
observations.

From 
The  Dean 


Friday  and  Saturday,  November  1'.^  and  14,  at  8:30  p.m.  the 
Washington  Players  present  "The  Happiest  Days  of  Your  Life"  in 
William  Smith  Auditorium.  This  delightful  English  farce  in  three 
acts  was  created  by  John  Deghton. 

Entertainment  is  the  keynote  with  an  abundance  of  light- 
hearted  gaiety  and  fast  moving  action.  Modernistic  staging  is  used 
for  effectiveness. 

'  The  play  itself  concerns  the  post- 
war period  in  England  at  a  boys" 
school,  Hillary  Hall.  After  the  war, 
because  of  lack  of  facilities,  a  girls" 
school,  St.  Swithins,  arrives  at  Hil- 
lary Hall  to  all  but  take  over  the 
school.  This  setup  is  oomplclely 
against  the  principles  of  both  Miss 
Whitchurch,  the  principal  of  St. 
Swithins,  and  Mr.  Pond,  Headmaster 
of  Hillary  Hall.  The  play  involves 
a  series  of  trials  and  Iribulalions  due 
to  the  interference  of  objecting  par. 
ents,  the  mixing  of  sexes,  and  confus- 
ing romances  ...  of  all  ages.  The 
romances  arc  finally  suacssfulty  re- 
solved but  the  finale  serves  as  a  last 
clinux  when  more  confusion  arises 
from  the  arrival  of  a  third  school — 
for  mentally  deficient  delinquent 
girlsl 

Samis    Director 

Harvey  Samis,  the  Director  of  the 
play,  has  worked  industriously  for 
this  presentation  with  the  able  as- 
sistance of  Al  Easterby.  Both  boys 
havp;  had  experience  on  the  stage; 
Harvey  as  a  professional  singer  ,and 
as  a  summer-stock  actor;  Al.  here  at 
Washington,  received  the  Oscar  for 
his  performance  in  last  year's  pro- 
duction of  "Light  Up  the  Sky." 
Newcomers  And  Vets 

The  cast  of  "The  Happiest  Days  of 
Your  Life"  include  the  appearance  of 
both  newcomers  and  veterans  to  the 
Washington    Players'    footlights. 

Miss  Whitchurch,  the  principal  of 
St.  Swithins  School  for  Girls,  is  ably 
portrayed  by  a  freshman,  Phyllis 
Papperman. 

Mr.  Fond,  played  by  E-  A.  Crf>litti, 
is  Headmaster  at  Hillary  Hall's 
School  for  Boys,  who  disapproves  of 
this   female  invasion. 

A  sophomore  transfer,  Marie  Rut- 
kowski,  has  the  role  of  Miss  Gossage, 
the  energetic  athletic  instructor  at 
St.  Swithins.  Her  energy,  however,  is 
directed  toward  the  capture  of  Mr. 
BJIlings  (Al  Condcllo),  a  teacher  at 
Hillary  Hall,  who  isn't  desirous  in 
the   least    of   being   a    captive. 

Mr.  Tasscll,  portrayed  by  Bill 
Stein,  a  sophomore  transfer,  finds  ro, 
mantic  interests  even  as  a  teacher 
at  Hillary  Hall,  in  the  person  ol 
Joyce  HaqKT  (Terry  KniU),  a  teach- 
er at  St.  Swithins- 

The  students  of  the  two  schools 
also  discover  the  "blooming  of  young 
love"  in  the  character  of  Hapcroft* 
Minor  (Tom  Elder,  freshman)  and 
Barbara  Cahoun  (Wanita  MacMuI- 
Icn), 

Rainbow,    the    porter    and    grounds- 

(Continued  On  Page  2) 


Students  are  reminded  that  over- 
cutting  in  any  course  will  automatic 
ally  produce  failure  in  that  counc. 
Recently  a  student  was  forced  to  with, 
draw  from  school  liccause  he  had  over- 
cut  in  more  than  one  course.  Any- 
one with  less  than  twelve  hours  is 
no  longer  qualified  as  a  regular  stu. 
dent.  .A  withdrawal  will  be  required 
from  any  student  whose  load  goes 
below  twelve  hours  because  of  fail- 
ure  due   to  over-cutting. 

Students  dropped  because,  of  ovcr- 
cutiing  will  not  be  readmitted  un- 
less the  Faculty  Committee  or  Ad- 
missions of  Academics  Standing  ap- 
proves the  applications  for  readmis- 
sion.

the  mice  can  be  heard  yards  away. 
Many  times  the  girls  have  resulted  io 
violence.  Throwing  irash  cans,  knives, 
books  and  coke  bottles  arc  just  a 
few  of  the  ways  to.  relieve  ilie  ten-

Bv   an  obsener 


Have  you  ever  been  .suddenly  iiwak- 
encd  ln>m  a  sound  sleep  hv  the  nib- 
bling  of  a  mouse  at  vour  elbow?  No 
doubt  you  have  never  never  experi- 
enced this  phenomenon  and  no'  doubt 
you  will  not  believe  the  following 
tale  .  .  .  But  believe  me.  it's  true  .  .  . 
.Ami  it  could  only  happen  at  Wash- 
inglon    College. 

In  the  haven  -that  is  known  as 
Rcid  Hall  forty-six  strong  and  slal- 
wan  young  women  reside.  Here  they 
live  among  mice,  centipedes,  squeak- 
ing doors,  falling  irash  cans,  house 
mothers,  floor  counselors,  rules,  and 
i-ooni  campuses  .  .  .  Here  ihcy  live  i" 
peace  and  prostration. 

Two  months  have  passed  since  the 
forty-six  "green"  freshmen  girls  step- 
ped fool  an  this  campus.  Whether 
ihey  will  step  off  in  the  same  slate 
of  mind  is  doubted  very  much.  They 
did  not  e\pcci  the  comtoris  of  home, 
and  Ihey  did  noi  get  ihcm.  However, 
ihey  were  not  prepared  for  what  -they 
did  get.  Even  the  strong  hearted  male 
would  shudder  at  the  thought  of 
some  of  the  things  ihai  go  on  there. 
.And  now  on  with  rhe  story  .  -  . 

One  bright  sun  filled  day  a  young 
woman  was  awaken  from  an  after- 
noon nap  Io  find  that  a  mouse  had 
calmlv  crawled  into  bed  with  her  and 
had  begun  to  nibble  on  her  elbow. 
Shocked  as  she  was,  ii  was  no  sur- 
prise. The  Reid  Hall  ■gray  ones'' 
had  Iwgun  to  appear  almost  from  [he

Well,  here  il  is  Saturday  morning 
.  .  lonighi  one  of  ihe  lighicr  sides 
of  Washington  College  life  will  take 
place — the  annual  Sadie  Hawkins 
Oance.  How  many  of  you  boys  read- 
ing this  arc  going?  ...  or  is  il  loo 
childish  for  you?  \Vcll.  Ici  me  put  it 
another  way — how  many  of  you  have 
been  asked  yci?  Although  many  of  you 
may  feci  that  the  "life  up  the  road" 
auch  more  pleasant  than  a  silly 
dance    in    Hodson   on    Saturday    night, 

1  bet  each  one  o[  sou  would  be  lick- 
to  death    to   be   asked.  But    have 

no  fear,  bovs,  Ihe  day  is  voung  vet. 
Who  knows,  in  the  next  few  hours 
some  sKcci  young  thing  may  approach 
with  the  fatal  question  .  .  and 
of  course  you  will  accepi  or  reject 
liih  a  nonchalant  "1  knew  she  was 
;oing    to  ask    mc  all    the    lime." 

Of  course  vou  may  wonder  why 
ou    haven't    been    asked    before    ihis 

.  .  it  may  be  thai  you  are  guilty 
of  one  of  the  "unpardonable  sins" — 
Vou  may  be  one  of  those  who  failed 
lo  ask  anyone  to  Homecoming,  or 
mayhe  yu  asked  her  only  a  few  hours 
before  the  dance  started,  or  maybe 
you  broke  a  daie.  rfr  may  be  you 
forgfH  yonr  date's  name,  could  be 
you  were  laic,  or  were  nui  of  "con. 
diiion"  when  you  got  there,  may  be 
you  ignored  her  all  evening,,  or  all 
the  following  week  .  .  .  anyway,  what, 
ever  cla.vi  you  fall  under  you  may  be 
sure  Ihe  girls  are  taking  ii  out  on 
you  now.  I(  you're  one  of  the  luckier

be  careful  .  .  .  may  be  next  time 
they'll  be  able  to  resist  your  "hand

"CRAZY  MAN,  CRAZY" 

Once  tipon  a  time  in  a  real  gone  college  town  on  tlie  t;dgc  nl 
great  .big  river,  lived  a  crazy  h''i  Freshman  named  Red  Riding 
Hood.  Her  fellow  studeiit>  nicknamed  her  'Riding'  because  every 
subject  she  elected  was  a  'Ride'  at  this  wild  hep-cat  college. 

One  day  when  Red  finished  Iier  first  basket  in  basket  weaving 
cla.ss,  the  Teach  instructed  her  to  take  a  trek  to  Grandma's  shark 
and  deliver  a  few  choice  tidbit.s  from  Hodson  Hall  to  the  poor  old 
gray  haired  flapper. 

"Same  'ole  jazz,"  ^aid  R'-d.  a.-  she  picked  up  the  viddlcs  and 
kipped  town  for  Gran's  place. 

Now  Granny  lived  on  the  other  side  of  the  river  at  a  spot 
many  of  the  local  Squares  called,  "Poor  Man's  Country  CUlb."  Red 
went  po.st  haste  to  the  outhouse  in  the  woods,  1  mean  house  out 
the  woods,  and  when  arriving  on  the  local  scene,  exclaimed,  "Tlii'^ 
^hack  makes  East  Hall  look  like  The  White  House!" 

Red  peered  through  the  window  and  saw  the  Big  Bad  ^\''•\ 
disguising  himself  as  Granny!  Now  Red  warn't  no  scardy-cat,  sin 
was  a  hep-cat  who  decided  to  go  along  with  this  animal's  game 

She  knocked  on  the  portal  and  a  deep  voici-  within  repli' d 
"Fall  in  Stjuare  and  deal  your  'ole  Grandma  some  skin!" 

"Morning  doll,"  smiled  the  Wolf. 

"Hap|)y  New  Year  to  you,  too,"  spilled  Red,  while  trying  in 
figure  out  how  she  could  save  Granny  who  was  slashed  away  m 
the  Wolfs  bread  basket. 

"You  don't  look  like  my  Granny  to  me,"  said  Red,  playing  Inr 
ace  in  the  hole.  But  her  ace  fell  through  the  hole  as  the  Wolf 
forthwith,  leaped  from  the  sack! 

"I  don't  go  for  none  of  that  Joe  College  Jazz,"  the  gray  one 
smirked.  "I'm  going  to  lay  it  on  you.  Red,"  he  said  as  he  pulled 
out  a  rrazy  carving  knife. 

"Stop!"  cried  Red,  "Today's  Friday,  so  you've  had  it,  Wolfiil 

"The  story-teller  goofed,','  cursed  the  Wolf  as  he  tore"  opm 
the  wild  basket  of  fish  cakes  Red  had  brought  over  from  Hodson. 

"Dig  mc  now,  Red,  'cause  I'm  all  done  now,"  gasped  tin' 
Wolf  as  he  fell  dead  on  the  floor.  Now  you  all  knew  that  Granny 
was  in  the  wolf's  bread  ba.sket?  Yes,  you  guessed  it — the  fish  cake- 
killed  her,  too! 

"I  juitred  them  both,"  sobbed  Red  the  following  day  as  she 
told  her  talc  to  her  be-bop  buddies  from  Reid  Hall.  But  everyoni' 
figured  a  little  food  would  fix  Red  up.  .so  they  went  to  lunch. 

Yes,  you  guessed  it  again.  There  in  front  of  Red  the  waitn' 
placed  a  bowl  of  Gran- Wolf  stew! 

"I'd  cat  it,"  said  Red,  "if  I  could  tell  Granny  from  tiie  Wolf-" 

It  was  at  this  crazy  niomenl  in  this  fabulous  talc  that  a  chunky 
piece  of  meat  popped  up  and  repeated  "Dig  me  now.  Red,  'ca 
I'm  all  done  now!"

ATHLETE'S  FEAT 

By  WAYNE  GRUEHN 


Athlete's  Feat  for  this  week  is  actually  more  than  one.  To  be 
fusinf;^,  I  could  say  that  this  week's  column  is  about  four  feet; 
four  of  the  fastest  on  campus.  They  belong  to  sophomore  Mickey 
PiMaggio  and  junior  Lew  Buckley,  the  two  best  cross-country 
lunnens  Washington  College  has  seen  since  the  colorful  Filmorc 
Dr>den. 

Basis  for  this  statement  comes  from  statistics  covering  the 
Jiort  period  of  one  year.  When  the  '52  harrier  squad  started  train 
ing  there  were  two  new  faces  who  were  not  only  new  to  the  squad 
but  to  the  sport  as  well. 

Agostino  Matthew  Michael  DiMaggio  was  born  on  April  11, 
1933,  in  Annapolis,  Maryland,  and  grew  up  there,  graduating  from 
Cliarlotte  Hall  Military  Academy. 

Lewis  Ernest  Buckley  came  into  the  world  on  November  7th 
19:J:\  in  Sharon,  Connecticut,  but  spent  his  childhood  four  milcj 
away  in  Amenia,  New  York.  Like  Mickey,  he  had  never  donned 
running  attire  before  last  year. 

However  new  the  sport,  they  soon  caught  on,  and  many  an 
o|>posing  harrier  in  that  season,  saw  only  the  back  of  their  maroon 
ind  black  uniforms. 

Admitting  a  poor  '52  season,  Washington  was  justified,  hoW' 
vrr,  in  being  proud  of  the  records  of  these  two  alone.  For  in- 
tance,  Mickey  ran  in  eight  out  of  nine  races,  In  the  six  dual  meets 
he  crossed  the  line  first  in  four  of  them  and  second  in  the  remaining 
iwo.  In  the  Del-Mar  Championship  meet,  he  was  third,  and  fifth 
in  the  Mason-Dixon  run. 

Lew  boasted  three  seconds,  a  third,  and  a  fourth  in  dual  meet; 
while  placing  twelfth  in  Mason-Dixon  and  eighth  in  the  Del-Ma 
Conference.  It  must  be  noted  that  in  a  conference  meet  there  arc 
usually  twelve  or  thirteen  seven  man  teams  competing  at  once.  That 
totals  then,  about  eighty-odd  possible  places  in  which  to  finish. 
Better  This  Year 

To  date,  this  present  season  has  held  better  days  for  the  squad 
it)  general,  greatly  helped  by  Mickey  and  Lew  and  their  alternate 
one-two  punch. 

Even  though  pestered  by  leg  and  knee  trouble,  the  two  have 
biiwecn  them  a  fourth,  three  thirds  and  two  seconds  .Last  week- 
ind.  Lew  and  Mickey  finished  fourth  and  fifth  respectively  in  the 
I9'i3  Del-Mar  run.  But  perhaps  the  best  display  of  running  so  far. 
was  at  Loyola,  when  both  boys  broke  the  tape  side  by  side,  to  tic 
for  first. 

The  Sport  Itself 

There  are  people  on  this  campus  who  do  not  understand  the 
.|)ort  of  cross-country,  and  I  hope  that  I  may  take  the  opportunity 
In  explain  it  here.  It  is  a  team  sport,  for  individual  ability;  yet 
not  so  much  ability  as  it  is  endurance  and  plain  intestinal-fortitudi 
Three  miles  is  a  long  way  to  run  in  less  than  si.vtc#n  minutes,  and 
some  courses  are  as  much  as  three  and  a  half  miles  over  fields  and 
through  woods.     It's  just  what  the  name  implies;  cross-country. 

And  glory?  There's  little,  very  little.  Rather  its  satisfaction  of 
body  condition  through  love  of  the  sport. 

And  in  one  short  year,  Mickey  DiMaggio  and  Lew  Buckley 
appear  to  have  gained  satisfaction,  through  love  of  the  sport,  to 
deserve  glory.

Saturday,  the  Sho'  harriers  get  set 
lo  repel  an  invasion  by  the  Gallaudet 
contingent  of  runners.  Heading  Gal- 
laudei's  team  in  a  bid  for  a  second 
straight  win  is  a  strong  young  fresh- 
man runner  from  Japan,  Ro  Hano, 
who  captured  first  place  in  Gallau. 
dci's  victory  over  Loyola  Saturday. 

The  Sho'nien,  who  have  a  .500  rec- 
ord in  dual  meets  thus  far,  took  sec. 
ond  place  in  the  Del-Mar  Champion- 
ships last  week.  The  W'.C.  Harriers 
have  shown  strong  improvement  un- 
der ihc  able  direction  of  Coach  Emer- 
son Smith  in  this  year's  cross  country 
competition.  The  Maroon  and  Black 
is  therefore  favored  to  add  Gallaudet 
to    their    winning   record    today. 

Lcw  Buckley,  .Mickey  DiMaggio  and 
Keen  Blaker  are  expected  to  be  the 
big  guns  in  the  Sho'men':,  battle  for 
a  .500  over-all  record  and  a  3-2  rec- 
ord in  dual  competition.  Steadily  im- 
proving performances  by  "Mouse" 
Bair,  Bemie  Thomas,  Ells  Boyd.  Lou

Against  Seating  Arrangement 
The  time  has  come  when  we  are 
again  blessed  with  the  seating  ar- 
rangement in  Hodson.  This  year  it 
seems  very  unnecessary  as  we  ha\cn'i 
the  number  of  students  of  yesteryear. 
There  is  no  crowding,  shoving,  el- 
bowing, or  dashing  for  tables,  as 
many  of  the  tables  arc  empty  this 
year.- 

The  sealing  arrangement   was  def- 
lely  a  necessity  last  year,  but   there 
is  really  no  need  for  it  now." 
Girls'  Sports 
The    Washington    College   girls    will 
open  the  current  season  of  field  hock- 
on   November  9.  The  Junior  team 
is  favored  over  the  Seniors.  The  Jun- 
team    is  composed  of   members  of 
ibeir    own     class,     while       the    Senioi 
1    is    made   up    of   their  own    class 
g    with    the    helpful    aid    of   some 
of   the   underclassmen." 

The  Freshmen  give  the  impres- 
sion that  [hey  are  the  team  to  look 
for  this  year,  with  an  experi- 
enced squad  filled  with  talent  and 
enthusiasm." 

And  so  lime  marches  on  ,  ,  .  from 
n  vcars  ago  until  today.  Those  who 
graduated  in  that  year,  from  which 
these  passages  were  quoted,  would  be 
approximately  32  or  33  years  old

her  last  June. 

Washington  College  was  not  entire. 
ly  unknown  to  Miss  Huck,  for  her 
amily  owns  a  farm  in  Church  Hdl, 
diere  she  now  lives.  She  says  she 
likes  small  town  life  and  enjoys  Uv- 
ing  here  as  much  as  she  ever  did  m 
busy  Manhattan.  Presently  she  enjoys 
driving  the  tractor  on  her  farm, 
■when  the  men  will  let  me."  Oiher 
hobbies  include  stamp  collecting  and 
!ier  favorite  spori,  mountain  climb.

-r  is  very  expa'nsivc — she  has  maps 
l[  trails  she  has  covered  everywhere 
in  New  England,  and  never  takes  the 
same   trail    tw.ice. 

Miss  Hnck  likc-s  W.C..  and  thinks

can'i  add  well  enough  to  survivr  j

The  idea  which  underlies  the  honor 
loeictics  in  American  colleges  and  uni- 
.-ersities  is  three  fold.  They  exist  pri- 
marily to  recognize  the  development 
if  scholarship  of  a  superior  quality. 
Secondly,  a  few  societies  recognize  thf 
levclopniciU  of  leadership  qualities, 
:haracter,  and  good  campus  citizen- 
ihip,  in  addition  to  a  strong  secondary 
icholarship  record.  Thirdly,  they  rcc- 
Ai?ni7c  the  production  of  superior 
scholarship   and   leadership. 

To  accomplish  these  objectives,  it  is 
■ar  that  an  honor  society  must  de- 
fine and  maintain  a  truly  high  stand- 
ard of  ch'RibiHty  for  membership  and 
achieve  sufficient  status  by  so  doing 
that  membership  becomes  somethinc: 
to  be  valued  highly.  The  honor  society 
h.is  followed  the  expansion  and  spec- 
ialization of  higher  education  in  Amer- 
ica. Here  on  the  Washington  College 
campus  we  have  Sigma  Sigma  Omi-

Bob  Penkethman,  from  Wildwood,  New  Jersey,  won  the  fresh- 
man class  presidency  over  Mark  Hoke  in  the  general  election  held 
on  November  12.  Othei-s  voted  into  office  were  Mac  Connell,  vice- 
president,  Sarah  Sachse,  secretary;  and  Elaine  Glendon,  treasurer. 
Mac  defeated  Allen  Grimes;  SaVah  boat  Janice  Edwards;  Elaine 
bested  Jordan  Dolgin. 

'>  In  his  campaign  speech  at  the  audi, 
torium,  Bob  told  the  group  that  the 
freshman  class  would  be  as  strong  as 
the  students  would  make  it.  and  that 
he  would  lielp  them  do  so. 

Bob  collected  a  number  of  positions 
and  honors  in  high  school.  He  was 
president  ot  his  class  for  three  years, 
vice-president  for  one,  and  vicc-prcsi. 
dent  of  the  Student  Council.  Bob 
edited  the  school  newspaper,  played 
two  years  of  varsity  basketball  and 
track,  and  served  four  years  in  the 
band.  Chosen  a  member  of  ihc  New 
Jersey  Boys'  State  and  the  All-State 
Chorus,  he  was  later  honored  with 
a    Rotary   scholarship.

book,  assistant  sports  editor  of  ihe 
newspaper,  and  a  member  of  the

Sarah  attended  Calonsville  (Mary- 
land) High  School,  where  she  was  a 
Student  Council  representative  and 
class  secretary.  Using  her  interest  in 
journalism  to  advantage,  she  became 
co-editor  of  the  newspaper  and  pho. 
lography   editor  of  the  yearl)ook.

Elaine  became  one  of  her  stale's  dele-

The  English  farce  presented  by  the 
Washington  Players  last  week,  under 
the  direction  o[  Hancy  Samis,  was  a 
pleasant  change  from  the  usual 
Broadway  comedy.  There  are  no 
dark  implicaiions  in  Mr.  Dighton's 
farce.  There  has  been  a  war.  appar- 
ently, and  there  arc  bureaucrats  in 
London  who  may  strangle  England  in 
the  long  run.  But  we  are  not  asked 
to  think,  or  worry.  1  he  word  farce 
means  stuffing,  and  "The  Happiest 
Days  of  Your  Life"  is  jus[  that:  not 
meat,  but  a  relish. 

Unfortunately  this  sort  of  thing  is 
often  more  dillicuU  for  amateur  ac- 
tors than  a  really  thoughtful  play, 
and  it  may  be  more  difficult  to  direct. 
Since  its  humor  depends  on  situa. 
tion.  not  on,  character,  it  demands 
grtat  Speed,'  exact  timing  m  small 
hings  like  the  opening  of  doors,  and 
ibove  all,  the  sort  of  teamwork  ihai 
iiakes  each  actor  subordinate  hii 
role  to  the  effect  of  the  whole.  A 
I  some  respects  is  like  a  bal- 
let. 

The  performances  last  week  seem- 
I  to  nie  loo  slow.  The  tone  of  the 
opening  scene  was  one  of  weariness, 
Mr.  Stein  appeared  to  have  been 
worn  oui  by  his  five  years  in  the 
RAF;  Mr.  Condcllo  Was  bored  to  [he 
point  of  [ears  by  his  little  charges. 
Owings  exhausted  to  the  poini 
of  collapse,  but  resigned,  hopelessly* 
to  more  years  of  moving  trunks.  Of 
course  much  of  this  air  of  weari- 
ness was  necessarily  intciyional.  The 
play,  however,  hardly  gets  moving 
before  Miss  ^facmullen  comes  danc. 
ing  in.  Even  in  the  second  and  Ihird 
acis  there  were  luoments  when  doors 
opened  too  slowly,  ominous  pauses- 
when  the  cast  appeared  to  be  waiting 
for  a  bell  to  ring--in  their  heads,  or 
outside. 

—  Needs  Contrast  — 
The  mild  caricaiure  of  this  farce 
needs  contrast  lo  make  it  effective.  I 
do  not  feel  that  the  opportunities  here 
were  fully  exploited.  If  Mr.  Stein  is 
to  be  an  elfcciive  counter  to  Mr. 
Condello.  he  ought  to  be  a  dashing, 
iuto-the-wild-blue-yonder  sort  of  young 
man.  He  did  not  give  that  impres- 
sion. Mr.  Colitii  might  well  be  the 
counter  to  Miss  Papperman.  the 
bristling  female  marlinct— we  arc 
•iupposcd  to  be  on  his  side,  not  her's. 
It  he  had  been  a  sort  of  muddled- 
headed  humbler,  csscniially  genial,  he 
would  have  held  our  sympathy,  but 
as  it  was  he  gave  the  impression  of 
being  very  much  like  Miss  Papper- 
man under  the  skin- a  frustrated 
martinet,  fidgety,  nervous,  and  im- 
patient. Since  Miss  Knill  could  hard- 
ly have  been  quieter,  ii  was  perhaps 
up  lo  Miss  Rutkowski  to  appear  even 
heartier  and  more  athlcUc  than  she 
did.  Between  the  two  seis  of  parents 
the  contrast  was  more  successful:  the 
patient  forbearance  and  mild  manner 
of  Mr.  Gruehn  and  Miss  Brinsfield 
made    Mr,    Daniel    and    Miss    Booth, 


nber  of   the 


place    on 
Dick    Far- 


with    their   ramrod    carriage,   seem    all 

the    more   direct,    brusque,   and    inili 

taiy.  .-VII  four  were  very  good. 

—  Condello   Praised   — 

would   be   inclined   to  give  some 

son    of    prize   to     iMr.    Condello   if   il 

did  not  occur  to  me  that  after  all  he 

had  the  best  breaks  in  the  play.     He 

seemed    to    me    the    most    convincing 

and  assured  ot  the  major  characters — 

bored,    deiached.    and    above    it    all, 

just   a   proper   him   of  selt-con- 

sciousness  and  coureii.  But  all  he  had 

do  was  to  sit  there,  making  acid 
remarks,  while  the  rest  of  the  cast 
fumed    and    fussed.    The    parts    taken 

Miss  .MacMullcn  and  Mr.  Elder, 
though  brief,  were  essentially  more 
difficuH,  perhaps,  than  any  of  the 
adult  roles.  Their  performances  secm- 
:d  to  me  flawless.  Thcy  looked  like 
:hildreii,  talked  likc^  children,  and 
nosi  important  of  all  they  moved 
like  children.  When  Miss  MacMullen 
came   in.   she   romped   in;   when   she 

down,  she  sprawled;  without  say- 
ing anything  definitely  disrespeclful, 
managed  to  suggest  impudence 
underneath.  Mr.  Elder  knew  how  lo 
iiand  contritely  and  politely  when 
le  was   told   that  he  had  dtme  some-

STUDENT  POLL 

Appearing  in  another  column  on  this  page-  is  a  letter  whii  h 
was  sent  home  to  the  parents  of  the  students  of  Washington  College. 

Just  what  is  tlic  average  student's  opinion— Joe  Student's  opin- 
ion of  the  age-old  "Suit  Case  College"  problem? 

Do  you  feel  that  you  could  make  your  week-end  here  one  of 
quiet  uninterrupted  study,  along  with  organization  meetings  and 
social  events?  Are  you  taking  advantage  of  your  educational  op- 
portunity here? 

If  you  frequently  go  home  on  week-ends,  do  you  visit  friends 
and  do  any  of  a  large  variety  of  things  except  study? 

The  students  should  voire  tiieir  opinions  on  this  subject,  as  it 
i.s  the  students  who  will  benefit  or  blunder  from  choosing  either 
home  or  school  on  the  week-end. 

Should  the  parents  of  the  students  of  Washington  College  have 
to  use  their  powers  of  persuasion — or  whatever  other  powers  they 
may  choose — to  curb  tlie  Washington  College  week-end  exodus? 

We  encourage  you  to  voice  your  opinion  on  this  subject,  as  it 
involves  you,  each  and  every  one.

We  do  noi  ■educate"  young  people: 
they  educate  ihemsclvcs.  We  can  try 
lo  provide  the  environment  and  stim.

But  ctlucaiion  siiU  remains  a  per- 
sonal inatiCT,  one  of  the  fclv  really 
private  enterprises  in  ihe  world.

spile  all  our  elToris  to  induce  "hem

feel  ihat  far  loo  many  of  our 
dormitory  students  use  most  or  all 
of  iheir  weeji-cnds  to  go  home,  where 
ihcy  visit  friends  and  do  any  of  a 
large  varieij  of  things  except  study 
We  recognize  that  ihey  have  noi  been

I  pc.licv  of  all  work  and  no  play.  Bui 
Ihc  common  feeling  on  our  campus 
Ihai  Ihc  week-end  is  a  lime  for  trav- 
el infects  those  who  eannoi  alford 
jcademieally  to  devote  every  week- 
end to  ihai  |)uq>ose.  The  taretul  hus- 
banding of  week-end  time  often 
spells  llic  difference  heiwc'cn  success 
and  failure,  and  most  ccriainly  af- 
iccis  ihe  academic  accomplishment 
of   lliose  concerned. 

li  is  true  that  ihis  small  town  pro 
vide^  liiile  public  enieriainmcni  f»r- 
a  week-end.  But  the  Studeni  Council 
and  many  of  our  campus  organiza-

Mule,  as  yqu  kiiow^  is  iIil>  nickname 
for  John  Rohcri  Jennings,  who  was 
liorn  in  Norwood,  Massadmsetls.  an 
lebruary  2.  19.14.  In  1915,  the  Jen- 
nings family  moved  to  tlicir  prcscnl 
hiiine  at  .'\ntiajx>lis,  \faryland.  where 
Mule  cveiiiually  graduated  fritm  .An- 
iiapolis  High  School.  But  before  he 
(lid  so,  he  played  four  years  of  foot- 
liall,  haskethall  and  baseball.  With 
rlif  extcpiion  of  his  first  year  in  the 
Iwsket  game,  he  earned  a  varsity  lel- 
nr  in  every  s[K>n,  all  [onr  years. 

When  he  arrived  on  Washington's 
(iimpus,  he  replaced  football  togs 
with  those  of  a  soccer  uniform,  and 
ill  this,  hLs  second  year,  is  one  of 
Coach  Athcy's  most  valuable  men.  .Af. 
tcr  a  season  of  J.  V.  court-ball.  Mule 
decided  to  convert  his  talents  to  the 
game  of  lacrosse.  .And  what  happen- 
ed.' Records  can  but  speak  for  them- 
selves, but  for  those, who  don't  know. 
Mule's  iron  man  drive  weathered 
ilie  endurance  of  many  an  aitackmen

Hut  what  about  the  other  liall  ol 
iliis  versatile  pair? 

Rotieric  Iteadlc  Ware  became  a  pari

l!)3i.  in  llurlirigiou,  Vcruioni.  -■' 
moving  to  Clhevy  Chase.  MarylandT 
ten  years  later.  Rod  entered  the  Bc- 
thesda-Chcvy  Chase  High  School,  His 
fast  and  nimble  feet  made  football 
easy  for  Rod,  just  a,s  they  did  in  bas- 
ketball ami  baseball.  But  Rod,  who 
has  since  been  dubbed  "Lopcr"  for 
obvious  reasons,  wa.s  not  content  with 
three  varsity  letters,  he  had  to  win  a 
fourth  in  track.  "Ibis,  I  might  add, 
WHS  tiic  first  time  in  the  history  ol 
the  .school  that  anyone  had  done  so. 

Rcxl  first  went  to  the  University 
of  Vermont  Tor  a  year,  where  be 
continued  his  fcais  on  the  gridiron 
and  baseball  diamond.  When  he  trans. 
feiTcd  to  the  home  of  the  Sho'nicn, 
he  was  naturally  declared  ineligible 
for  our  football  team.  Baseball  was 
absent  from  the  campus  that  year 
anyway,  so  Rod  was  content  to  earn 
a   letter  in   track. 

Now  in  his  senior  year.  |he  talented 
Mr.  Ware  is  a  member  in  good 
standing  on  the  baseball  nine  where 
his  bullet-likc  arm  changes  the  mind 
of  many  a  base-runner.  While  on  the 
soccer  field,  he  is  known  to  have 
that  "educated"  toe. 

Whether  it's  nimble  feci,  or  an 
iron-man  drive,  both  boys  have  one 
thing  in  common:  give  ihcin  a  iipor 
to  play,  no  matter  how  new.  and  I 
think  I'm  safe  in  saying  they'll  learn 
it.  Maybe  it's  love  of  competition,  or 
the  plain  desire  for  phy.sica]  exertion, 
draw  your  own  conclusions.  I  think 
it  proves  at  least   one  thing.

the   prc-meet    lavoritc. 

.Not  only  do  the  Jays  boast  the  de- 
fending individual  champ  in  the  per. 
soiiage  of  Donald  Manger,  but  the 
Huniewood  harriers  have  Raj  mond 
Dc  La  Barrc,  rated  as  an  etjual  to

In  the  eleven  team  field  last  year, 
Wa.shington  College  grabbed  fourth 
place.  In  a  field  of  80  ruiiners.  Mick- 
ey DiMaggio  was  fifth  and  Lew  Buck,

while  the  team  as  a  whole  forms  a 
dark  horse  outfit  aiming  to  upset 
both    Bridgewatar  and   Hopkins. 

Washington  h;us  lielded  its  finest 
team  in  the  past  four  years,  and 
Coach  Smith  has'  molded  it  into  a 
depth  laden  group,  high  ,spiritc-d.  and 
willing  lo  train  and  condition  relig- 
iously. 

The  Marotui  squad  ha*  won  four

liir  the  past  .several  weeks,  hope- 
fuls  for  this  year's  and  the  vcterai 
of  last  year's  lacro.s,se  team  have  bet 
out  three  days  a  week  under  the 
capable  coaching  of  Charles  B.  Clark, 
getting  in  shape  for  the  rugged  sche- 
dule which  comes  this  Spring.  The 
id  which  at  present  numbers  about 
ty  men,  due  to  the  conflicting  of 
soccer  and  basketball  rosters, 
drilled  in  passing,  receiving,  and 
shooting.  The  backboard,  which  the 
ichool  has  just  erected,  has  been  of 
tremcnduiis  value  lo  both  the  lacrosse 
and  soccer  teams  in  these  types  oi 
drilh.  Freshman  prospects  for  this 
are  Tim  .Albrecht  and  Mac  Con. 
Back  this  year,  helping  out  in 
lice,  is  Bob  Lipsit2,  co-captain  of 
1952  squad.  Our  lacrosse  team  is 
lember  of  the  United  States  In- 
ter-Col Icgi  ate  Lacross  Association, 
which    consists    of    about    35    of    the

lO'il  campaign  the  Maroon  and  Black 
finished  in  9th  place,  and  15th 
last  year's  season,  playing  such  teams 
as  Navy.  I'rinceton.  and  the  Universi- 
of  Virginia.  This  year,  with  the 
enthusiasm  already  displayed.  Coach 
Clark  has  the  beginnings  of  what

1  he  same  minute  that  VVa.shinglou 
won  its  n-oss  counti^  meet  with  Gal 
hiudet,  it  also  lost  a  heart-breaking 
encounter  with  star-studded  Johns 
Hopkins,  2-!.  Hopkins,  who  can  now 
win  ihc  Mason-Dixon  Conferetice 
championship  by  beating  Western 
Maryland,  and  who  plays  Drexel 
lc*h  for  the  Mid-.Atlantic  title,  had 
just  a  little  more  .scoring  punch  than 
the  Maroon  and  Black.  ITie  Alhey 
men  kept  the  l)ali  in  the  Blue  Jay.s' 
territory  for  the  greater  pan  of  Ihe 
game,  but  were  continually  unable 
to  penetrate  goalie  Stan  Hack's  de- 
fense of  the  net.  Several  limes  the 
Sho'  forwards  hit  the  opponeni's  goal 
posts  with  their  shots,  but  each  time 
fai.lcd   to  get  the  ball  past  the  posts. 

With  only  forty-five  seconds  remain 
ing  in  Ihe  firsi  half,  Dave  Collig- 
lion,  Hopkins  inside  right,  sent  a 
line  drive  into  the  net,  for  the  BtM 
score  of  the  game.  Midway  in  ihe 
third  period  the  W.  C.  forward' 
ganged  up  at  the  Jays'  goal  and  Doug 
rilley,  center  forward,  kicked  in  the 
.Sho's  only  goal.  The  partisan  fan.i 
I'luhusiasiically  cheered  the  Sho'men 
on  to  further  scoring,  but  it  was  Hop. 
kins  who  tallied  the  remaining  point 
when  cenier  forward  Jim  Hiuchiiw 
dribbled  past  all  of  the  W.  C.  de- 
feiiseinen  and  booted  the  Ijalt  in 
from  a  fe>v  feet  in  front  of  the  net 
with  seven  minutes  left  in  the  game. 

Outstanding  for  the  Maroon  and 
Blatk  was  the  gresii  defensive  playing 
of  fullbacks  "Mule"  Jennings  and 
Mort  Lenanc.  Time  after  lime  Jen- 
nings' long  kicks  set  the  ball  up  for 
W.  C.  deep  in  Hopkins'  territory. 
Lenanc,  who  played  the  entire  game, 
continued  to  perform  in  a  maiuKr 
that  could  well  earn  for  him  ihe 
■'Freshman  of  the  Year",  honors  i" 
the  Mason-Dixon  loop.  Another  fresh- 
man  who  displayed  the  coolness  and 
Eness  of  a  senior  was  outside  lefi  Bar- 
O-    Burns. 

T  he  Blue  Jays'  "AlkStar"  team  con- 
sisted  of  Dick  Cohen,  fullback:  Stan 
Henry,  inside  left;  and  Huichens,  all 
of  whom  made  ihe  ".All-Mason-Dixon" 
team  last  year,  and  goalie  Stan  Hack, 
who  was  "All-South "  la.st  yc-ar.  Col- 
ligann  and  Sam  Maracas,  right  half- 
back, ako  played  an  excellent  game 
for  the  visitors.  An  international

I  think  very  unduly,  for  apparently

absence:  ihat  is.  the  girl,  was  not  al-

-he  was  punished!  What  kind  of  a 
trial  is  this?  And  I  understand  that 
this  is  the  prjclice,  all  offenders  be- 
ing tried  in  ibis  same  manner. 
Mighty  strange  if  you  ask  mc.  In  such

Members  of  the  Washington  College 
Alumni  Association  living  in  Caroline, 
Talbot,  and  Dorchester  counties 
formed  their  local  alumni  chapter 
at  a  dinner  meeting  at  Cambridge  on 
November  5. 

The  new  alumni  organization, 
named  The  Choptank  Chapter,  is  the 
first  to  be  formed  on  the  Eastern 
Shore  of  Maryland,  and  is  the  sec- 
ond new  chapter  of  the  Alumni  Or- 
ganiz.-ition  to  be  founded  in  recent 
years.  Another  chapter  was  established 
on  October  31  at  Cumberland,  serv- 
ing Ihc  five  wcslcrn  counties  of  Mary- 
land, 

At  the  meeting,  held  at  the  Cam- 
bridge Counto"  Club,  the  members 
adopted  a  eonslilution  and  elected 
officers.  Fred  G.  Usilton,  Jr.,  class  of 
1933.  of  Denton,  was  elected  presi- 
dent. Other  officers  are  vice-president, 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  Mace  Farver,  class  of 
1931,  of  Cambridge:  secrelan',  Mrs. 
Betty  Smith  Orme,  class  of  1938,  of 
Demon;  trc.isurer,  Mrs.  Jane  Oyster 
Mellor.  class  of  1949,  of  Royal  Oak;

Man-in  H.  Smith,  class  of  1937,  of 
Federalsburg;  William  C,  Johnston, 
class  of  1927,  of  Cambridge;  and  Mrs. 
Eugenia  Morgan  Barto,  class  of  1931, 
of  Easton. 

General  arrangements  for  the  meet- 
ng  were  handled  by  Edward  N.  Evans, 
lass  of  1937,  of  Cambridge,  who  had 
erved  as  organizational  chairman 
i-hile  the  chapter  was  in  its  formative 
stages.

thing  wrong,  but  you  fell  as  he  stood 
here  that  his  Uitlc  mind  was  at  work 
m   some  fiendish   scheme.  When    the 

grown-ups    were    not    veatching      him. 

his    motions    were      all    croiiches    and 

leaps.    My    private    prize   goes    to    him 

and  to  Miss  MacMullen. 

The  setting  was  imaginative  atid 
nteresiing,  I  ain  not  sure,  however, 
hal  ihc  black  paint  was  a  good  idea. 

Combined    with    Mr.     Owiiig's     awful 

height,   it  tended   to   make    the  stage 

look   too  small.

(Continued  Ironi  Page  2) 


tliese  poor  creatures  before  they  hav 
a  chance  lo  say  wonl  one.  How  cruel 
could  she  be?  The  tragedy  of  it 
plucks  my  heartstrings  until  the  very 
vibration    makes   me  .swoon. 

.\nd   litis  next   line's  a   killer. 

■'Have  you  ever  seen  such  a  sigli 
in  your  life?"  Well  thai  docs  it, 
mean  really.  ,\, grown  man  getting 
a  mad  fiendish  joy  out  of  seeing  three 
wimndcd  mice,  who  are  unemployed, 
have  Ho  compensation  checks  at  all, 
and  knowing  that  at  home  arc  ihvee 
crying  spou.scs  and  nine  scjucaling 
mouses.  Probably  all  ihcy  desired 
from  the  ugly  old  farmer's  wife,  Was 
directions  to  a  filling  station  where 
they  could  obtain  a  rodeni  map. 

If  she  had  to  use  physical  violence. 
I  think  a  shoigun  would  have  been 
lew  painful  in  Ihat  it  would  have 
blown   them  all  to  you-know-wherc. 

And  as  for  the  last  line,  1  think 
that  it  should  be  changetl  to  show 
the   gross  atrocities   committed. 

"Have   you   ever  seen   such   a  sight 
in   your   life,   as  three  hungrj'.  blind, 
lailcss,  speechless,  insulted  and   horri- 
persccutcd mice,"

Student  Gov't  Reports 


Zeta  Xmas  Dance 
Held  In  Gain  Gym 


One  of  the  first  problems  lo  face 
your  Student  Council  [his  year  was 
ihat  of  hazing.  Extensive  personnel 
and  property  damage  was  incurred 
in  a  raid  upon  G.  I.  Hall  and  it  fell 
lo  Ihe  Student  Council  as  a  liason 
l)eiweeit  administration  and  studculs 
lu  handle  the  matter.  A  tour  was  tak- 
en of  ihe  damaged  building  and  prop- 
criv.  It  was  decided  on  October  13, 
thai  ibe  Sophomore  Class  be  held  re- 
sponsible for  all  personal  damage 
three-fourths  of  all  other  damage.  The 
rtiuaining  one-fourth  damage  is  to 
Ik   paid   by   the   Freshman   Class. 

To  prevent  the  reoccurrence  of  this 
liiualion  next  year,  the  Student  Coun- 
cil drew  up  some  suggestions  for  next 
ye.ir's   hazing: 

1)  Roughness   is   forbidden. 

2)  No  persons  shall  be  laken  from 
Ihe  campus  in  connection  with 
hazing. 

1)  Respect  should  be  shown  for  the 
tradition  of  the  college. 

I)  Dinks  should   be  used. 

'>  A  mud  pit  should  be  used  for 
I  lie  releasing  of  stored  energy 
rather    than    college    properties. 

'j)  Disabling  of  the  supplies  for  the 
bonfire  should  be  an  aim  of 
Sophomore  Class. 

7)  Sophomore  Clas,s  should  desig- 
nate an  object  which  Ihe  Frosb 
shall  try  to  confiscate  in  order 
to  be  exempt  from  certain  ha?.ing 
mfa. 

^  Hazing   lime  should   be  reduced. 

9)  Frosh  shall  challenge  Sophomores 
lo  an  athletic  contest. 
'   10)  Punuhmcnt   for    hazing   mishaps 
should  be  a  Council  problem 

The  aicn  of  hazing  is  to  maintain 
and  dcrelop  ichool  spirit. 


In  response  to  student  and  alumni 
opinion,  suggestion  has  been  made 
lo  the  administration  to  separate 
homecoming  and  convocation  and  to 
set  them  up  as  individual  affairs  so 
that  each  can  be  enjoyed  and  appre- 
ciated to  [he  fullest.  The  suggestion 
was  received  favorably  by  the  ad- 
ministration and  should  become  the 
policy  ,in    the   future. 

—  Freshman  Elections  — 

Supervising  the  cleclions  is  always 
an  interesting  privilege  and  this 
year's  freshman  elections  were  jusl 
that.  The  nominated  candidates  slat- 
ed their  views  and  platforms  and  the 
preliminary  voting  was  followed  by  a 
close  and  well-fought  political  race.  It 
is  hoped  that  this  orderly  yet  spirit- 
ed affair  exemplifies  what  is  to  be  ex- 
pected of  the  Freshman  Class.  Con- 
gratulations to  both  the  elected  group 
and  their  opposition — keep  up  your 
good  work  and  spirit. 

Among  ihe  duties  of  your  Student 
Council  is  thai  of  ihe  appropriation 
of  funds  for  sindcni  organizations. 
Thus,  for  this  year,  the  auditing  com- 
mittee has  deemed  the  following 
worthy: 

November  24— $150  to  the  Wash- 
inglon Players  for  a  badly  needed 
switchboard. 

October  20 — S50  per  semester  for 
choir  music  which  will  be  kept  to 
eventually  build  a  Dprmanent  music 
library. 

October  20— $1D0  to  the  Forensic 
Socieiy    for   operating   expenses. 

October  20— $123  to  ODK  for  year 
1953-1954. 

October  20 — $30  loan  to  the  senior 
class   which   has  already   been   repaid,

from  the  ceiling  were  silver  and  blue 
snowflakes. 

The  highlight  of  the  evening  was 
the  naming  of  the  1953  Zeta  Dream 
Boy.  The  sorority  members  and  pledg- 
es sang  "Zeta  Wonderland"  lo  open

Moseley  Is 
Speaker  Here 


On  December  8.  Professor  Edwin 
M,  Moseley,  of  Washington  and  Jef- 
ferson College,  addressed  a  morning 
gathering  of  students,  faculty,  and 
friends  of  the  College  in  Reid  Hall 
Library.  Professor  Moseley.  who  is  an 

pert  on  contemporary  fiction  and 
poetry,  delivered  an  informal  talk  en- 
titled "This  Generation — a  Paradox." 
He  pointed  out  Ihc  difficulty  that  all 
generations  have  in  knowing  what  is 
the  ruling  mood  and  the  dominant  be- 
lief of  iis  time.  This  problem,  he  said, 
can  oficn  be  solved  only  many  years 
:.  when  history  seems  to  have 
sifted  out  the  represenlaiivc  spokes, 
men  for  that  generation.  More  often 
than  not  it  is  artislj  whose  names  en- 
dure more  clearly  than  do  those  of 
statesmen  or  merchants.  For  instance, 
the  names  of  Wordsworih.  Keats,  and 
Shelley  are  today  more  familiar  than 
those  of  Lord  Casilcreagh.  George  the 
Fourth,  or  even  Wellington. 

Dr.  Moseley  thought  it  might  be 
safely  said  Ihat  there  ha^  been  a 
identifiable  shift  in  beliefs  and  ati 
tudcs  among  American  writers  since 
the  generation  of  the  Twenties.  He  de- 
fined the  mood  of  the  earlier  period 
as  one  of  skepticism  and  bitterness; 
Ihe  predominant  view  seemed  to  be 
that  man  was  a  small  and  passive  be 
ing.  living  in  a  shattered  world  in 
which  he  had  little  inherent  dignity. 
Since  then,  he  said,  there  has  been 
apparent  a  steady  movement  io\ 
a  more  religious  view  of  the  world.  In 
ihe  tragic  writings  of  recent  ye; 
.\mcrican  authors  seem  to  alTirm  thai 
man  has  an  identity,  an  aspiration  to. 
ward  order,  and  a  capacity  for  discov. 
ery  and  growth.  He  ciled  numerous 
words  of  Faulkner.  Hcming^vay, 
the  younger  writers  to  illustrate  these 
tendencies. 

The  general  reader,  Dr.  Moseley 
advised,  should  be  on  the  alert  to  no- 
tice the  newer  and  more  original 
spokesmen  who  appear  among  thi 
artists  of  his  lime.  In  this  way,  said 
the  speaker,  "by  hook  or  by  crook, 
we  run  the  best  chance  of  realizing 
what  are  the  tendencies  for  which  oui 
period  will  best  be  remembered.

.\i  lasi,  after  weeks  of  parties  and 
open  houses,  sorority  rushing  has 
come  to  an  end,  and  the  three  sorori- 

s   have   chosen   their   new   pledges. 

In  the  individual  breakdown,  Zeta 
Tau  Alpha  emerged  in  the  lead  with 
14  pledges.  The  girls  hoping  to  be  fu- 
ture Zclas  (if  they  make  their  index)

Dew.  .\nne  Grim,  Jane  Hatch,  Jean 
Hatch.  Belly  Holloway.  Ann  Hurst, 
Nancy  Jalherl.  Sue  Richland.  Sue 
Stallings   and   Bobbie   Steinhart. 

The  new  pledges  of  Alpha  Chi 
Omega  are:  Laurel  Gunby.  Doris  Hall, 
Marguerite  Kimblcs,  Martha  Ann  Ko- 
haut.  and  Marie  Rniowski. 

.\lpha  Omicron  Pi  welcomed  as  new 
pledges:  Lee  Doleler,  Lynn  Emory, 
Debbie  Hears,  Carol  Knisley.  Jeancnc 
Richman.  Jean  Riley  and  Polly  Tay- 
lor. 

Under  the  rules  set  up  for  soroiiy 
bidding  and  initiating,  all  girls  who 
fail  lo  obtain  an  index  of  .75  or  bet. 
tcr  will  automatically  become  de- 
pledged  at  the  end  of  the  first  semes- 
ter. Those  girls  who  get  an  index  be- 
tween .75  and  1.00  will  remain  pledg. 
es  until  ihey  receive  a  1.00.  All  those 
pledges  with  an  index  of  l.OO  or  bel- 
ter are  eligible  for  initiation  by  the

New  Attendance 

Policy  Is  Set  Up 


The  faculty  has  established  a  new 
and  more  liberal  policy  on  attendance. 
Juniors  and  Seniors  who  achieve  an 
average  of  ,2.25  or  better  in  any  se- 
mester may  be  absent  from  as  many 
classes  as  they  wish  during  the  nexl 
semester  and  thereafter  so  long  as 
their  averages  do  not  fall  below  2.25 
at  the  end  of  any  succeeding  semester. 
This  privilege  is  conferred  automat- 
ically as  soon  as  the  grades  become  a 
matter  of  record. 

Graduating  students  whose  averages 
are  2.25  may  also  be  excused  from 
[heir  last  semester  examinations  in 
any  coui-se  in  which  Ihc  instructor 
feels   thai   this  excuse  is  justifiable.

Registrar 


On  Dec.  2,  Mr.  Samuel  H.  !(loer- 
man  of  Washington,  D.  C,  addressed 
an  open  meeting  of  the  Forensic  So- 
ciety in  Dunning  Auditorium.  Mr. 
Moerman,  a  partner  in  Ihe  Washing- 
ion  law  firm  of  LaRoc.  Wynn,  and 
Moerman.  discussed  the  problems  of 
administrative  law  practice.  Admin, 
istrative  practice  is  the  work  carried 
on  before  Federal  and  other  commis- 
sions and  hearing  boards,  which 
make  policies  and  settlements  withoui 
taking  the  problems  into  the  regular 
law  courts.  Mr.  Moerman  pointed  out 
Ihat  administrative  law  is  a  vast  new 
field  for  lawyers,  whose  extent  and  im. 
poriance  is  not  yet  fully  understood 
by  laymen  and  by  prospective  law- 
yers. 

Mr.  Moerman  illustrated  the  com- 
plexity of  administrative  practice  by 
deiailed  citaiions  from  his  own  prac- 
tice, showing  how  great  are  the  prob- 
lems which  corae  before  adminisira- 
live  bodies  such  as  the  FTC.  the  FCC. 
and  the  ICC.  Often  the  decisions  of 
ihcae  bodies  on  rales,  franchises,  and 
fair  practice  have  great  consequences 
on  the  national  economy  and  even  on 
the  military  position  and  prepared, 
ness  of  the  entire  country.  Mr.  Moer- 
man approached  Ihis  problem  by 
pointing  out  such  consequences  in  nu- 
merous practical  legal  situations  that 
he  has  himself  observed. 

A  lively  audience  of  studenis  and 
faculty  followed  Mr.  Mocrman"»  talk 
wiih  interest  and  subjecicd  the  ipeak- 
er  to  a  barrage  of  questions,  which 
kepi  up  without  diminishing  in  in- 
lensity  for  ihc  best  pan  of  bo  hour 
after  ihe  talk.  The  meeting  was  fi- 
nally adjourned  by  the  Dean,  who 
ob-wrved  that  the  audience'i  interest 
appeared  to  be  so  keen  that  whole 
additional  sessions  would  be  ncceaary 
lo  do  justice  to  Ihc  problcmi  under 
discussion.

COURT  SUPPORT 

Cross  country-  and  soccer  arc  just  memories  now,  the  record 
books  ha\-ing  been  filed  away  in  preparation  for  the  hard%vood  sea^ 
son  which  recently  opened. 

At  other  small  colleges,  sports  enthusiasts  are  eyeing  the  win- 
ter slates  of  the  varsity  swimming,  wrestling,  and  basketball  squads, 
all  of  which  offer  thrills  and  excitement  to  tlie  interested  spectator. 

Here  on  our  Shore  campus  however,  the  varsity  and  J.V.  cag- 
ers  offer  the  only  grandstand  entertainment  in  which  school  spirit 
can  excel,  and  win,  lose  or  draw,  the  baskclbali  team  needs  rn- 
couragement  and  should  be  supported. 

Perhaps  weather  conditions  influenced  tlie  poor  attcndancf 
at  the  soccer  contests  last  Fall,  but  the  same  cannot  be  said  about 
the  hardwood  sport.  In  addition  to  this,  the  court  skirmishes  are 
over  early  enough  for  cver>-one  to  have  ample  time  to  study  foi 
blucbooks. 

The  spacious,  lustrous  Chcstertown  High  School  gym  is  ; 
Madison  Square  Garden  compared  to  the  smoked-filled,  shadou-y 
Armory  where  the  games  were  fomicrly  played  and  this  was  two 
miles  away  from  the  campus. 

Seven  home  games  remain  on  the  varsity  court  schedule.  The 
Washington  cagers  arc  a  hustling,  high-spirited  team  and  dcser\'e 
the  backing  of  each  and  every  one  of  the  members  of  the  faculty 
and  the  student  body. 


LETTER 

TO  THE  EDITOR 


Dear    Sir 

When  I  saw  the  Icrter  thai  appear- 
ed in  the  last  issue  of  the  Elm.  I  was 
appalled.  I  feci  thai  ihe  author  of  that 
letter  is  entitled  to  her  opinion,  as 
any  other  person,  on  things  which 
concern  her,  but  there  are  some  things 
which  <lo  not  fall  under  that  particu- 
lar heading.  The  letter  of  which  1 
speak  made  reference  to  a  Compara- 
tive -Anatomy  Test  which  was  given 
on  a  Sunday,  and,  strange  as  it  may 
4cem.  it  was  given  on  that  particular 
day  with  the  consent  of  the  entire 
class.  The  class  was  asked  when  they 
would  like  l.>  have  the  test.  Various 
suggestions  were  made,  and  after  care- 
ful eonstdciation  the  class  decided 
upon  Sunday  as  the  most  convenient 
lime.  Contrary  to  the  beliefs  of  some 
people  this  did  not  cause  any  real 
hardship  on  any  person.  Some  people 
went  to  the  dance  which  was  held 
on  the  Saturday  night  preceding  the 
exam,  and  personally,  I  did  not  spend 
the  entire  evening  studying  cither.  I 
feel  that  the  author  of  the  letter  was 
%lighilv  off  base  with  some  of  her  re- 
marks, such  as  cats  at  breakfast,  al- 
though I  cant  really  see  iht  objection 
considering   Hodson    Hall. 

Taking  everything  into  cttmidera- 
lion  I  can  see  no  reason  why  the  au- 
thor of  the  Idler  took  it  upon  her- 
self (o  condemn  a  situation  which 
had  nothing  whatsoever  to  do  with 
her.  It  seem*  that  some  people  can 
find  so  little  of  worth  u,  occupy  their 
lime  that  ihe>'  must  busy  themselves 
b>  dabbling  in  the  affairs  of  others. 
I  would  be  itiicresWd  in  knowing 
what  tuccess  the  author  of  the  letter 
has  had  in  Biolofry.  Could  there  be  a 
relationship?

Snack  Bar 
Society 


by  Sadie  Sn^ri 

Now,  around  Christmas  time 
the  very  height  of  the  Washington 
College  Social  Season.  Here  in 
world  famous  Snack  Bar,  celebrities 
arc  buzzing  around  in  the  very  latest 
of  fashions.  Silting  here  at  my  ring- 
side table  !  can  watch  these  well 
known  personalities  pass  by,  and  hear 
the  newest  go.«ip  among  the  social  set. 

For  instance  there  is  the  famous 
Del  Brinsfield,  a  well  known  Oysler 
head.  The  Oyster  business  has  netted 
hcr  enough  money  to  last  'til  doom's 
day.  Word  has  it  that  hcr  name  is 
romantically  linked  in  an  argument 
between   two  famous  educators. 

.And  there  is  the  envy  of  everyone, 
^^is^  Ethel  Mac  Knill.  She  looks  so 
ning  in  her  white  dress,  spatter- 
ed with  cute  little  sploches  of  red — 
is  that  catsup.  Oh  well! 
h;  .\nd  there  is  John  Ncwbold. 
igh  luck,  girls,  our  most  eligible 
bachelor  is  losing  that  distinction 
more   and    more   every   day. 

\nd  look  who  just  walked  in  the 
door!  The  fabulous  l^ra  Lee  Duvall 
with  one  of  Mr.  Benhoff's  prize  win- 
ning dogs.  Albert.  I  don't  know  which 
one  has  the  prettiest  smile.  That  is,  of 
course,  between  Miss  Duvall  and  Mr. 
Bcnhoff.    Ahem,   ves. 

And    there    is    Mr.     Rurk      Kenncy, 

walking  around  with  a  peculiar  smile 

his  face  and  a    measuring  tape  in 

hand.  Business  must  be  dead  these 

days. 

Sitting  in  ihe  far  corner,  I  can  see 
thai  famous  athlete.  Joe  Geisslcr.  Joe, 
nan;  of  you  know,  is  head  of  the 
local  post  of  the  Salvation  Army  and 
last  Saturday  night  composed  their 
now  famous  song,  "Bringing  in  the 
Sheep."

artistic  talent,  Lynn  knows  how  to 
spell  aspirin,  and  Rod  thinks  "Kon- 
tiki"  is  a  girl's  name. 

Looks  like  fate  has  it  in  for  Jo 
and  Apps  again. 

So  the  Williamsburg  tri'p  was  "ad- 
venturesome"  as   well   as   educational.

ATHLETE'S  FEAT 

By  WAYNE  GRUEHN 


Harriers  4th 
In  M-D  Meet 


Booters  Close 
Good  Year 


As  ichalk-lines  on  a  grass  field  arc  replaced  by  painted  ones  on 
baslvctbal!  tourt.  the  average  sports  fan  turns  from  football,  soc- 
■,r  and  cross  country,  to  basketball,  wrestling  and  indoor  track.  Bui 
x^fnn-  this  writer  does  the  same,  he  would  like  to  close  out  the  fall 
■haptcr  by  giving  credit  to  someone  who  is,  in  a  sense,  behind  the 
fcnes;  the  man  called  "coach". 

Six  years  ago  in  1947,  Edward  L,  Athey  was  voted  the  out- 
laiiding  athlete  of  the  year  by  the  student  body.  This  ended  a  col- 
cgL-  career  that  began  in  1940  at  Frostburg  State  Teachers  College. 
\fter  transferring  to  Washington  College,  he  became  part  of  the 
Vfason-Dixon  Championship  basketball  team.  But  before  the  1942- 
43  season  was  over,  Ed  received  his  call  to  duty  in  the  Armed 
Forces.  When  Air  Force  Lieutenant  Athcy  came  back  from  the 
[;hina  Theater,  he  was  wearing  the  Air  Medal,  two  battle  stars 
ukI  the  Presidential  Unit  Citation. 

When  he  returned  to  Washington's  campus,  he  brought  back 
his  wife,  the  former  Racheal  Lovcll,  and  his  first  of  two  sons. 

In  the  final  year,  he  was  outstanding  in  football,  was  captain 
f)f  the  basketball  team  and  a  member  of  the  baseball  nine. 

His  coaching  career  began  in  1948  when  he  tutored  the  Maroon 
and  Black  soccer  team,  assisted  in  football  and  basketball.  He  latci 
hi'came  head  coach  of  the  court  squad. 

This  year,  relinquishing  his  basketball  activities  to  newly  ar 
rived  Emerson  Smith,  for  the  purpose  of  devoting  more  time  to  his 
Athletic  Director's  post.  Mr.  Athcy  coached  only  the  soccer  team 
Season's  Results 

The  season  is  over  and  the  record  books  are  closed.  But,  for 
(he  great  majority  of  the  .student  body  who  did  not  attend  many  of 
ihr  games,  the  team  that  represented  Washington  College  on  the 
t'.irious  soccer  fields  this  year  proved  to  be  a  fighting  and  high-spir- 
ited one  that  played  its  best  to  the  very  last  second.  There  were 
fnnr  ties,  four  victories  and  two  defeats,  one  of  the  latter  being  to 
iln-  nation's  champions.  And,  as  I  remember,  the  general  feeling  of 
ilii-  Homcfoming  crowd  that  day  was  that  the  Sho'men  outplayed 
Fi.uiklin  &  Marshall  in  c\er\'  quarter.  Breaks  are  Breaks. 
Teamwork 

One  of  the  basic  principles  of  any  successful  team  concerns 
tcimwork.  Each  member  must  work  as  one  necessary  part  of  a  ma- 
liinc,  and  that  machine  must  work  in  harmony  with  its  operator — 
(In-  coach. 

Ed  Athey  jjiloted  the  Maroon  and  Black  to  a  third  place  in  the 
M:tson-Dixon  Conference  (behind  Baltimore  University  by  2.4 
points)  and  the  same  position  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  Association. 
This  record  is  not  to  be  scoffed  at,  being  the  most  successful  one 
for  a  good  while. 

So,  using  the  benefit  of  "having  the  last  word,"  I  give  credit 
where  credit  is  due. 

Nice  going,  coach.

ciding factor  in  the  outcome  of  the 
race  was  a  hill  at  the  latter  end  of 
the  course  on  which  the  Sho'men 
passed  many  opponents.  Although

contender  again  next  year,  Sho'  pro- 
spects look  good  as  five  of  this  year's

''tooling   from    the   right   side  of   the 

''■iskei,  while  Kardon  uses     a  smooth 

shot    from    the  center  slot. 


Bergen.  Hesse,  and  Sisk  form  the 
nucleus  of  this  year's  starting  team. 
As  a  second  year  man  on  the  squad 
last  year,  "Jumping  Jack"  Bergen  w.is 
second  in  total  scoring  with  ^03  points 
and  second  in  averages  with  16.G  points

outstanding  as  a  play  maker  while 
Si.sk  is  a  set-shot  ariLsi  who  ha.s  the

The  Sho'  opponents  have  begun 
their  season  with  losing  streaks  and 
arc  anxious  to  get  on  llic  winning  side 
of  the  ledger.  Mt.  St.  Mary's,  which 
is  usually  a  power  team  in  Maryland,

in  its  games  against  St.  Francis  and

Western  Mai7land  have  been  slow

The  team  will  work  out  until  Christ-

the  une-quarler  mile  track  to  gel

Haines 
Stars 


In  his  .summation  of  the  team  he 
staled:  "In  the  four  years  since  I've 
been  here,  this  was  the  best  organiz- 
ed team.  They  passed  and  tried  to  set 
the  ball  up.  Instead  of  trying  to  play 
ordinary  soccer,  they  tried  lo  develop 
fincss,  and  not  only  tried  to  play  the 
game  enthusiastically,  but  with  some 
meaning  behind  it." 

The  team's  record  upholds  Mr. 
.Athey's  appraisal.  The  Sho'men  won 
five  games,  tied  four,  and  lost  only 
two  encounters.  The  first  loss  wis  to 
Franklin  and  Marshall,  last  year's  na- 
tional champions.  The  other  loss  was 
a  hard  fought  2-1  decision  to  Johns 
Hopkins,  the  team  that  ended  F  ft  M's 
long  winning  streak  and  went  on  lo 
capture  both  the  Mason-Dixon  cham- 
pionship and  the  Southern  Division 
riilc   of   the    Middle-Atlantic   Confer- 


Viciories  were  registered  .over  Cath- 
olic U.,  Loyola,  Delaware,  Drexel 
lech,  and  Baltimore.  Drexel  had 
beaten  Hopkins  just  a  few  days  be- 
fore losing  -i-'i  to  Washington  Col- 
lege. 1  he  .Vtheymen  battucd  Towson, 
University  of  Virginia,  Roanoke,  and 
Gettysburg  to  ties. 

For  those  interested  in  statistics: 
W.  C.  shut  out  two  opponents — Loy- 
ola and  Gettysburg — and  was  shut  out 
by  Gettysburg  in  a  scoreless  duel. 
Washington  outscored  its  total  opptv 
sition.  26-lR.  Tilley,  who  is  an  out- 
standing possibility  for  Mason-Dixon 
and  Mid-.Atlantic  .-Ml-Siar  honors,  was 
high  scorer  for  the  season  with  four- 
teen goals.  Runner-up  was  Roger 
Smoot  with  five  points.  The  rest  of 
the  scoring  was  evenly  divided  be- 
tween Rod  Ware,  Josh  Carey,  Ralph 
Siarkcy.  Barry  Bums,  Weller,  Kruse. 
and  Bob  .-\ppleby.  each  of  whom  reg-

Washington  College  captured  ii.' 
first  Mason-Dixon  game  of  the  sea- 
last  Wednesday  night,  defeating 
Catholic  University  of  America,  68-67. 
in  a  nip  and  luck  contest  which  saw* 
the  score  tied  10  limes  and  the  lead 
changing   hands   12   times. 

It  was  a  freshman.  Chick  Haines, 
of  Penns  Grove,  N.  J.,  who  broke  the 
contest  wide  open  in  Ihc  last  five  min- 
utes of  play,  as  he  netted  II  poini.t 
during  this  time,  and  I'J  for  the  eve- 
ning. 

Catholic  led  30-28  at  halflime  and 
remained  ^ith  a  2-puint  advantage  at 
the  conclusion  of  Ihc  third  quarter, 
'i8--1G.  It  was  Ronnie  Sisk's  accurate 
set  shots  and  George  Hesse's  dead  one 
banders  which  kepi  the  Maroon  in 
the  contest  in  (his  fast  breaking  third 
period. 

ThcTi  as  the  lead  diaiigcd  six  times 
the  final  live  minutes,  Haines  sunk 
one-hand  push  which  gave  Wash- 
ington a  6C-(i!i.  lead.  George  Hughes 
of  ihc  Cardinals  countered  with  a 
duplicate  of  Haines'  shot  and  the  Red- 
birds  led,  67-(iG. 

As  the  clock  passed  the  15  second 
mark,  the  swift  freshman  drove  fen' 
the  basket  and  scored  his  18th  and 
19ih  points  of  the  evening,  which 
spelled  victor^'  for  a  fighting  Shore 
quintet. 

Hauifee,  Eddie  Campbell  and  Kruse 
in  the  forward  positions:  Mule  Jen- 
nings, Mort  Lenane,  Sam  Spicer,  Dick 
Lent,  ajid  Joe  O'Mallcy  in  the  back 
field;  Joe  S/ymanski  guarding  the  goal. 
With  these  players  forming  the  nui 
leus  of  next  year's  eleven.  Coach  Alh- 
ey hopes  lo  equal  or  better  the  Shore'' 
third  place  standing  in  belli  the  Ma- 
.son-Di\on  and  Middlc-Ailanlic  Con- 
ferences. 

Glancing  into  the  fuiurc.  the  Irkii.- 
ers'  tutor  offers  this  view:  "We  cer- 
tainly are  going  to  s<)rcly  miss  the 
.seniors  leaving  us  this  year  because 
they  form  the  nucleus  and  sircngtli 
of  Ihc  starting  lineup.  Such  men  will 
be  hard  to  replace.  However,  with 
the  number  of  lettermen  returning, 
and  with  the  prospect  of  always  se- 
curing a  few  boys  with  high  school 
experience  from  the  freshman  class, 
there  is  no  reason  for  Us  not  to  an- 
ticipaie  having  a  fair  club  next  year."

temporary  lead.  The  Sho'mcn  collect- 
ed a  lone  field  goal  during  the  first 
period,  which  ended  with  Delaware 
leading  ll-C. 

The  Sho'meii  .solved  Delaware's

the  second  period-  Jack  Bergen  knot- 
ted the  score  for  the  first  time  in  the 
game  as  the  Sho'mcn  began  to  move. 
Frank  White,  captain  of  the  Blue 
Hens,  and  Jack  Waddington,  each  col- 
lected a  field  goal  to  give  the  home 
the  lead,  but  freshman  Chick

dropped  in  a  Iwo  pointer,  only  to 
the  lead  erased  as  Sisk  and 
Haines  again  got  together  to  f

To  Quit  Acting 

Broadway 

Hits 


The  outcome  of  the  Washington 
Players  election  meeting  last  weik 
was  a  set  of  new  officers  and  a  gen- 
eral feeling  that  the  Players  group 
needed  some  changes,  particularly  re- 
garding the  too-frequent  production 
of  Broadway  plays. 

President-elect  Dnvc  Humphries 
said  his  aim  for  next  year  is  to  put 
variety  in  the  plays.  According  to 
him,  emphasis  has  been  placed  so 
much  on  Broadway  plays  in  the  past 
few  years  that  the  group  now  has  a 
tendency  lo  reject  them.  However, 
"Harvey,"  will  be  presented  this  spring 
as  planned. 

George  Bernard  Shaw's  "Candida" 
has  replaced  "Come  Back,  Little 
Shebn"  as  the  mid-year  play,  to  be 
presented  March  5  and  6.  "Candida" 
directed  by  Don  Owings,  will  feature 
a  completely  new  set  which  the  stage 
crew  is  building.  Humphries  said 
"Shcba"  was  not  definitely  excluded 
from    next    year's    plays. 

With  variety  apparently  the  keynote, 
Humphries  later  disclosed  his  personal 
plans  for  the  coming  season.  He  would 
like  to  sec  the  Players  and  the  College 
Choir  produce  a  Gilbert  and  Sullivan 
operetta.  The  second  play,  he  thinks, 
should  be  an  interpretation  of  theatre 
in  the  round.  For  the  third  he  hopes 
to   have   a   classic. 

Other  officers  elected  at  the  meeting 
were  Dot  Willis,  returning  lo  school 
next  semester,  secretary;  Al  Con 
dello,  treasurer.  President  Humphries 
appointed  Barbara  Townscnd  promo- 
tion manager  and  Joe  Keller  produc- 
tion manager. 

From  further  discussion  at  the  meet- 
ing the  members  appeared  to  favor 
revising  the  constitution  and  calling 
more  meetings  per  month,  but  no  ac- 
tion was  taken.

Student  Govt  Reports 


The  regular  meeting  of  the  Student 
Council  was  called  to  order  by  the 
President,  Bob  Appleby,  on  Dec.  14 
oh  6:30  p.m.  in  the  SGA  room. 

Upon  recommendation  of  the  Com- 
plaints Commit'cc,  it  was  moved  and 
seconded  to  publish  the  complete  min- 
utes of  each  meeting  in  the  Elm. 
Tiie  motion  was  carried. 

Dean  Doyle  was  asked  to  join  in 
a  general  dscussion  of  the  following 
problems: 

The  Cut  System— Dean  Doyle  stat- 
ed that  the  present  cut  system 
is  based  on  the  genceral  policy 
that  students  arc  expected  to 
attend  all  classes,  taking  cuts 
only  in  emergencies.  The  faculty 
does  not  feel  that  the  student 
body  as  a  whole  is  able  \o  gov- 
ern its  class  attendance  com- 
plctly;  exception  is  made  in  the 
case  of  students  with  accumlative 
indexes  of  2.25  or  better.  A  dis- 
tinction is  made  between  students 
whose  overcutting  causes  them 
to  be  dropped  from  school  and 
students  who  fail  for  purely  aca- 
demic reasons;  the  person  who 
ovcrcuts  may  re-enroll  in  classes 
the  following  semester,  while  the 
penon  who  fails  academically 
must  wait  a  semester  lo  enroll. 
The  Dean  felt  that  there  is 
general  student  acceptance  of  the 
prcBcnl  cut  systems,  since  he  felt 


that  there  seems  to  be  resistance 
to  the  rules  only  among  a  small 
minority. 
Selection   of   candidates   for   Who': 
Who  in  American  Colleges     and 
Universities — It   was    felt    that    a 
definite  written  procedure  for  se- 
lection of  candidates  would  elim- 
inate   misunderstandings. 
Spence    Latham    and    Ken    Borne 
ere     appointed     to     present     to     the 
Council    a    suggested    procedure     for 
election    of    Who's    Who    candidates, 
considering  precedent  of  former  years 
and  the  general  standards  of  the  pub- 
lication. ' 
The   tendency  of  students  to  leave 
the    campus    on    weekends — The 
lack  of  facilities  for  social  gath' 
ings  on   campus   and   the   dorr 
tory    restrictions    of    the    women 
students  were  discussed  as  reasons 
for   this   problem.   The   Dean   re- 
quested   practical   suggestions   for 
improvement   of   the   situation. 
Sandra     Duvall,     Spence     Latham, 
Betty  Ayres,  and  John  Ncubold  were 
appointed   as  a   committee   to  discuss 
this   problem,   and    to   present  sugges- 
tions for  solutions   lo   ihc  Council  al 
the  Jan.    12   meeting. 

The  Social  Calendar— Dean  Doyle 

staled  that  the  Dean's  office  holdi 

the     final     responsibility    for    thi 

Calendai-,  and  should  be  dircclly

Ramona  AVillcy  has  been  elected 
to  become  the  new  Ediior-in-Chief  of  I 
the  Elm.  She  will  assume  this  position 
upon  Ellsworth  Boyd's  graduation  in 
February.  Replacing  Rod  Ware  as 
News  Editor  will  be  George  Hanst, 
a  sophomore.  Wayne  Gruehn  is  to  be 
the  new  Feature  Editor. 

Monic,  Vice-President  of  the  Zetas, 
began  writing  for  the  Elm  when  she 
was  a  freshman.  At  the  beginning  of 
this  year  she  was  appointed  Feature 
Editor,  She  is  a  member  of  Sigma 
Sigma  Omicron,  The  Washington 
Playei^s,  and  the  F.T.A.  Some  of  her 
other  activities  include  writing  for  the 
Pegasus  and  being  student  press  rep- 
resentative   for    the    Alumni    oifice- 

A  History  major,  she  now  acts 
as  an  assistant  in  the  History  depart- 
ment. 

George  Hanst^  the  News  Editor, 
plans    to   become    a   journalist.    He    is 


Larry    F.    Livingston,    manager    of 

the  Du  Pont  Extension  Division,  spoke 

the    student    body    at    the    weekly 

assembly  January   7,  on    "Progress   in 

Better    Living". 

e  said,  "Americans  have  the  best 
living  in  the  world  today  because  the 
traditional  American  system  has  given 

the  freedom  to  create  it.  We  have 
the   things  we   want  because  our  sys- 
tem   works    better    than    any    in    the 
■Id.    The    story    of    the    production 
of  goods  and  ser\'ices  is  the   story  of 

,r  standard   of  living." 

Mr.   Livingston   gave   his   audience 

preview  of  chemical  developments 
of  the  future  as  well  as  the  story 
of  the  creation  of  such  things  as 
nlyon  and  orlon.  He  displayed  scorr-'^ 
of  the  Du  Pont  products,  some  of 
■hich  are  so  new  that  there  is  no 
commercial   use   for   them   as   yet. 

'Dacron",  newest  of  Du  Font's  man 
made  fibers,  and  "Orion",  a  tough 
acrylic  fiber,  were  demonstrated.  The 
materials  are  expected  to  find  many 
uses  in  the  textile  field,  due  to  their 

inkle  resistance,  long  life  and  rcsil- 

He  also  told  of  the  development 
of  silver  ceramic  paint  which  made 
it  possible  for  the  "walkie-talkie"  to 
withstand  jungle  weather  and  is  now 
being  used  in  hearing  aids  and  radios. 

Mr.  Livingston  stressed,  "America 
is  strong  today  because  it  is  based 
on  freedom  to  imagine  and  create 
new  products,  freedom  to  act  and 
distribute  those  products  in  a  com- 
petitive market.  We  have  our  high 
standard  of  living  because  we  have 
a  vast  industrial  system  in  this  colw- 
try  that  converts  raw  materials  into 
useful  products,  which  arc  the  true 
wealth."

The  schedule  for  final  examinations

To  the  students  on  campus  the 
attainment  of  this  national  honor 
should   serve: 

".\s  a  goal  to  inspire  greattr  effort 
in  those  who  may  not  otherwise  per- 
form   to    the    best    of    their   ability.

outstanding    effort    and    achievement. 

".\s  a  standard  for  measurement  for 
students  comparable  lo  other  recog- 
nised scholastic  and  service  organiza- 
tions."

As  1  prepare  to  pack  up  my  typewriter  and  turn  over  this  col- 
umn to  Ramona  Willey.  bidding  farewell  to  The  Washington  Elm, 
I  think  it  would  be  only  fitting  to  take  one  more  memorable  glance 
over  the  highlights  nf  the  semester  througli  the  headlines  of  a  few 
out-dated  Elms. 

Sdiool  opened  in  September  proclaiming  the  largest  enroll- 
ment since  the  war.  Along  with  this  came  freshman  hazing,  plus 
the  appointment  of  six  new  faculty  members  and     a  new  Dean. 

It  wasn't  long  before  Homecoming  rolled  around,  featuring 
pep  rallies,  fraternity  parties,  and  a  soccer  clash  with  the  National 
Collegiate  Champs— Franklin  &  Marshall.  Queen  Jo  Budd  and  her 
attendants,  Jean  and  Jane  Hatch,  Emily  Dryden  and  Betty  Ayres. 
ruled  elegantly  over  the  Homecoming  holiday  week-end  and  dance. 

The  latter  part  of  October  not  only  brought  brisk  weather,  but 
also  a  brisk  Sophomore  raid  on  the  G.  1.  Dorm  in  which  more  rot 
ten  eggs  were  thrown  at  the  Freshmen,  than  were  ever  served  in 
Hodson  Hall. 

The  ODK  tapping.  The  Washington  Players'  first  production. 
Freshman  class  elections,  sorority  bidding,  and  the  S.S.O.  inidation 
liit  the  headlines  during  the  remainder  of  the  semester. 

The  final  issue  has  been  distributed  and  I  would  hke  to  ac 
knowledge  the  excellent  work  and  untiring  effort  of  the  Elm  Staff — 
Rod  Ware,  Ramona  Wiiley,  Joe  Syzmanski^  and  their  respective 
writers,  for  a  job  well  done.  And  to  the  typists,  the  business  man- 
ager, circulation  manager,  and  photographer  I  extend  my  deepest 
oratitudc.  for  it  was  their  cooperation  which  increa.sed  the  coordina- 
uon  of  the  paper  and  added  to  its  success. 

The  Board  of  Publications  could  not  have  elected  a  more  com- 
petent successor  than  Ramona  Willey.  She  is  a  friend,  a  leader, 
and  an  experienced  journalist  on  the  Sho'  campus  and  I  am  sure 
the  Elm  will  prosper  under  her  guidance.

For  tlic  pajit  several  weeks  iherc

The  Playcn  are  proud  of  the  way 
these  discussions  have  been  brought 
to  a  conclusion  with  the  obvious 
approval  and  to  the  satisfaction  of  all 
concerned.  Since  thcv  realize  thc^  are 
a  small  organization  they  understand 
the  necessity  of  cooperation  v^iih  oth- 
CT  campus  organizations.  They  are 
not  organized  to  spcti  Ihe  downfall 
of  other  organizations,  bill  to  co- 
operate with  ihem  for  the  better- 
ment of  campus   activities.

.And   here's    the   Ihiesi   communique 
from  Reid  Hall — wiiltcn  by  an  iiiiio- 
tent  onlooker. 
Reid  Hall  Stnru  the  Year  Off  Right? 

Janiiai7  has  always  been  a  time 
of  starting  over  and  the  first  month 
of  the  new  year  is  a  time  for  new 
ideas,  new  ideals,  and  rcsolniion.s. 
Reid  Hall  is  no  exception  when  it 
comes  lo  making  resolutions — or  lo 
breaking  them.  Let's  'try  to  look  over 
some  of  the  "new  leafs"  thai  are  tak- 
ing  place; 

First  of  all,  the  mice  have  disap- 
peared. Tired  of  being  rudely  awaken 
by  a  mouse's  genilc  tap  on  the  check, 
the  girts  decided  it  was  lime  they 
were  done  av*'ay  with.  Funny  though, 
now  that  they're  gone,  they're  mis.scd 
.  .  .  .  For  awhile  ihey  had  been 
ihonght   of  as  a   ihird     roommate — a 


[[iiict  one.    tool 

Secondly,  the  girls  will  iry  to  kc(|, 
their  rooms  nice,  neat,  and  clean.  ,\\ 
there  is  a  contest  between  Hottrs  jn 
volving  a  party  or  night  oul  for  ila 
cleanest  floor,  the  girls  arc  trying 
their  best — despite  falling  walls,  niisv 
ing  blinds,  and  broken  windows.  .Some 
of  them  have  dcverly  decorated  iIk' 
spots  On  the  walls  with  signs  aiul 
souvenirs  ranging  from  "No  Pail 
ing"  to  pink  elephants.  Others  Indi 
an  entile  coiner  by  using  poles  f.pi 
bullciin  boards.  One  consolation  tin 
gills  have,  however',  is  that  next  vc.n 
the  rooms  will  be  even  worse. 

Thirdly,  conirarj'  to  common  In.' 
lief,  relaxation  periods  arc  somcliniit 
spent  in  inlellectual  discussions  <>i 
arguments — for  awhile  anyway,  o| 
course  the  usual  amount  of  caul 
plaving  takes  place,  but  now  iIrv 
play   only   for   money. 

From  now  on  the  girls  of  Reiil  Hall 
must  be  quiet  before,  after,  and  ninsi 
of  all,  during  study  hour  .  .  .  No 
more  bunny  hops,  singing,  or  ladders 
against  the  dooi-s.  How  long  tlii.* 
will  lasl,  no  one  knows.  Let's  Jkm 
hope  'til  aficr  the  finals. 

Well,  that's  most  of  them.  Of  coui-e 
ihere  arc  a  number  of  smaller  outs 
like:  no  more  men  in  the  dorm  i>i 
on  Ihe  hrc  escape;  no  more  lasl  min- 
ute writing  of  themes,  book  reports, 
or  Eim  material;  and  then  there  Is 
the  fantastic  dream  of  2.00  indcs 
.And,  oh  yes,  boys — always  a  topic  <>[ 
conversation  in  Reid  Hall— Most  lA 
the  girls  say  "Forget  it,"  but  I  ihin). 
this  has  already  and  always  will  be 
the  first  resolution  to  be  broken — anv-

Introducing 
Dr.  Dvidley 
Johnson 

I'ndouhttdly,  ever  since  ihis  series 
of  articles  began  you  have  been  wait 
ing  for  me  to  get  around  to  that  in- 
teresting-looking addition  to  the  eco- 
nomics depariment.  Indeed,  il  3(>- 
pears  that  many  of  you  grew  so  im- 
patient that  by  this  lime  you've  in- 
vcsiigaicd  the  matter  of  economy — a

vouiselvcs.  Since  ibis  is  Ihe  case,  in 
this  edition  1  will  altempi  to  furnish 
some  needed  supplementar)'  informa- 
tion about  Mr.  Dudley  Johnson. 

Mt.  Johnson  was  born  in  Portland, 
Oregon,  in  192(5 — he  cclebraied  his 
2flth  birthday  just  lasl  Wednesday,  He 
graduated  from  high  school  just  in 
lime  for  the  U.  S.  Navy,  and  served 
the  war  years  on  aircraft  carriers  and 
a  minesweeper,  in  both  the  European 
and  South  Pacific  ihc-aiers.  After  his 
discharge  he  enrolled  at  Pacific  Uni- 
vcrsiiy  in  Oregon;  here  he  received 
his  B.A.  and  a)mp!cted  one  semes- 
ter of  graduate  work  \fif  the  fall  of 
1950.  Pacific  U.  gave  him  more  than 
a  degice,  however.  While  in  college 
he  inci  his  lovely  wife,  Charloite,  and 
they  were  married  in  .August  after  he 
graduated.  ' 

In  Sepicmber  of  19,50  he  accepted  a 
graduate  teaching  a&stsianiship  at 
.N'ofihwcsiern  University  in  Illinois, 
where  he  completed  work  for  his 
M.A.  and  finished  his  oral  and  pre- 
liminary exams  for  the  doctoraic.  .At 
the  time  be  was  teaching  undergrad-

ed one  summer  as  research  assistant 
to  Dr.  K.  E.  Poole  when  he  was 
working  on  hi.s  latest  book  on  U.  S.

Mr.  and  Mrs.  John.son  live  on  Grct- 
woo<l  Lane  in  Chcstcrlown,  and  are 
expecting  their  first  qliild  in  March. 
Popular  with  his  students  in  econom- 
ics and  accounting,  so  far  he  likes

Commit  Ice  on  Fraternities  and  So.

college 

Sparc  lime  is  devoted  to  work  on  ihai 
doctoral  dis.seriation,  which  he  ho|n*

Top  Mason  -  Dixon  Soccer  Honors  To  Three  Shoremen 


ATHLETE'S  FEAT 

By  WAYNE  GRUEHN 

Over  the  past  months  it  lias  been  my  pleasure  to  pay  tribute 
3  various  deserving  members  of  Washington  College's  sports  world. 

This  is  the  final  ELM  edition  of  the  fall  semester.  With  its 
lassing,  I  am  vacating  this  column  to  Jerry  Yudisky.  Thircfoic,  in 
he  last  "Athlete's  Feat"  written  by  yours  truly,  I  would  like  to  write 
bout  another  person  terminating  his  duties  with  The  ELM:  Ells 
loyd. 

Ells  objected,  as  any  editor  would,  to  an  article  about  himself 
n  tiis  own  pacpr.     But,  as  I  said,  the  pleasure  is  mine  to  pay  tribute 

0  deserving  members  of  our  college  sports  world,  and  Ells  is  no  cx- 
eption  to  the  rule. 

Track  Best  Sport 

Born  in  Baltimore,  Md.,  on  October  18,  1931,  David  Ellsworth 
)oyd  later  graduated  from  City  College  when  he  ran  on  the  cross- 
ountry  and  track  teams.  Entering  Washington  College  in  Feb- 
uary,  he  soon  joined  tiie  Shore  track  squad  and  did  the  same  when 
he  hill  'n  dale  season  opened  up  for  business  the  following  fall. 

In  the  next  three  years,  EUs  renewed  his  membership  on  the 
wo  endurance  squads  and  rounded  out  his  senior  year  by  being 
Iccted  captain  of  each. 

To  describe  the  overall  record  of  a  cross-country  and  track  man 
vould  take  up  too  much  uninteresting  space,  so  %ve'H  concentrate 
m  the  latter  and  better  of  Ells'  two  sports,  track.  Even  here  the 
Kst  way  to  recall  four  years  and  eighty-five  or  so  races  and  events 
s  to  tell  what  his  "biggest  thrills"  were. 
Highlights 

For  instance  there  was  the  day  against  Western  Maryland 
ivhen  Ells  tied  our  own  school  record  of  15.2  seconds  in  high  hurdles, 
fTt  at  the  same  time  broke  W.M.'s  dual-meet  track  record  of  17.3. 

Speaking  of  Ells'  specialty,  high  hurdles,  I  feel  it  necessary  to 
luntion  that  in  dual-meet  competition  along  this  line,  he  has  gone 
jTidefeated  in  the  last  two  years.  A  high-hurdle  race  incidcntly, 
ronsists  of  ten  3!/2  ft.  hurdles  over  a  distance  of  120  yards. 

In  1952,  a  high-hurdle  relay  team  of  four  college  all-star  track 
runners  defeated  the  Baltimore  Olympic  Club  in  a  meet  to  raise 
funds  for  the  Olympic  Games  at  Helsinke.  Along  with  such  greats 
IS  George  Rhoden  and  Art  Bragg,  these  four  all-stars  were  from 
ihc  University  of  Maryland,  Hopkins,  Morgan  State,  and — you 
E;uesscd  it — Washington  College's  Ells  Boyd. 
Biggest  Thrill 

But  perhaps  the  biggest  of  "big  thrills"  for  Ells,  was  the  day 
against  Catholic  U.,  when  the  record  book  had  him  down  for  four 
firsts:  in  the  high  and  low  hurdle  races,  and  in  the  high  and  broad 
jump  events.  To  top  all  this,  he  is  credited  with  amassing  the  ma- 
jority of  points  for  Washington  College's  track  team*^  last  spring. 

Psychology,  K.A.,  Varsity  Club,  The  Elm,  and  Ocean  City  arc 

1  few  other  terms  you'd  hear  in  reference  to  Ells. 

Deserving?   I  rather  think  so,  but  you  decide  for  yourself. 
I,  for  one,  am  proud  to  know  him!

The  baskclcers  of  Washington  Col-,

Loyola  Greyhounds  today  at  Loyob 
College  in  the  hope  of  conquering 
their  third  league  win  hi  eight  out- 
ings. 

Loyola,  which  has  consistently  pro- 
duced winning  teams  under  the  able 
direction  of  Lefty  Rcitz,  also  has 
hands  occupied  in  trjing  to  get  back 
on  the  victorious  path.  They  ha 
one  of  the  toughest  schedules  in  the 
conference,  and  have  shown  successive 
losses  lo  some  of  the  lop  collegiate 
quint.s.  such  as  LaSalle,  Georgetown 
U..  American  U.,  Seton  Hall,  and  St. 
Francis  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  but  they 
still  remain  a  top  contender  for  Ma-

Freshman 
Prospect 


By  JOHN    WESSEUALL 

A  name  ihai  you  will  soon  be  see- 
ing a  lot  of  in  the  Elin  this  winter 
will  be  the  I'cntagnn's  G'2'  freshman 
center  Bob  Kardon.  Averaging  about 
eight  points  a  gjnne,  Bob  has  proven 


his  worth   on   W.C's   hardwood. 

Coming  from  I'hiladelphia.  Pa,,  he 
graduated  from  (iern^antown  High, 
winning  Iciiei-s  in  both  basketball,  as 
foward,  and  football  as  an  end.  Our 
prospect  has  represented  more  than 
one  high  school's  varsity  on  the  bas- 
ketball court.  Bob  has  played  for 
three  othei-  teams  besides  German- 
town,  including  Olney  High  Schwl 
in  Philadelphia,  Forest  Hill  in  New 
York  and  the  Cadet  J.V.  in  Central 
High    in    New   York. 

Here  at  Wa.shingion  this  frosh  has 
l>ecomc  interested  in  lacrosse,  al- 
though he  has  never  played  it  before. 
.Attempting  to  try  for  one  of  Charlie 
Clark's  defensive  positions.  Bob  says 
he  likcs  the  game  because  of-,  its 
speed  and  versatility  as  ia  basketball. 

No  slouch  at  the  books  cither,  Kar- 
don is  drawing  .Va  or  B's  in  all  his 
courses.  His  future  plans. after  grad- 
uation include  law  school.  Ihc  only 
complaint  he  has  while  at  Washing- 
Ion  College  is  the  amount  of  food- 
"ibey  just  don't  sei^e  enough  f<K)d 
for  a  growing  boy,"

Gallaudet 


Washington  won  its  second  game  in 
Mason-Dixon  competition  last  Thurs- 
day, Jan.  7.  handing  Gallaudet  its 
third  conference  loss,  67  to  39.  on  the 
loser's  court. 

Sparked  by  Ed  Silvcric  and  Jack 
Bergen  who  made  25  and  24  points 
respectively,  the  Pentagons,  with  pin- 
nt  shooting,  and  a  fast  breaking 
style  of  play,  kept  Gallaudet  contin- 
ually  on,  the  defense. 

The  game  saw  a  new  Sho'  starting 
team  fielded  by  Coach  Smith  which 
consisted  of  forwards  Ed  Silverie  and 
Jack  Bergen,  center.  Lou  Borberly  and 
guards.  George  Hesse  and  Hob  Ap- 
pleby. Only  six  men  were  used  dur- 
ing the  entire  game  with  Ronnie  Sisk 
being    substituted    for    Bob    Appleby. 

Controlling  the  backboards  during 
most  of  the  game  our  hardwood  five 
made  over  4.7  per  cent  of  rheir  shots' 
and  kept  a  thirty  point  lead  for  the 
best  part  of  the  game 

.AssLsling  the  victors  in  scoring  were 
Lou  Borberly  with  8  points,  and 
George  Hesse  and  Bob  Appleby  who 
tallied  6   points  each.

Western  Maryland's  control  of  the 
backboards  throughout  most  of  the 
ball  game  proved  to  be  the  deciding 
factor  in  its  outcome.  .Arnie  Needle- 
Imcn,  with  his  assortment  of  jump  and 
Irive-in  shoLs.  was  high  scorer  for 
be  victors  with    18   points. 

A  crowd  of  sevenil  hundred  witness-

Overshadowed  nationally  by  the 
football  .Ml-.AmcTican  aiinounccincnls, 
but  more  imi>oriani  locally,  were  the 
recently  released  soccer  All-Star 
teams.  Washington  College  .sludeui.>i 
can  hold  their  heads  high  with  pride 
over  the  representation  uf  ttieir  Ma- 
roon and  Black  squad.  In  the  .South- 
ern -Area  grouping,  W.C.  had  the  sct- 
ond  most  players  awarded  Ail-Ameri- 
can hrmors.  There  were  five  Shore 
booters  among  the  fifty-five  listed 
(five  teams.)  Only  Johns  Hopkins,

Navy,  Maryland.  Towson.  and  Balii- 
morc  n.  each  had  four  AU-Ameri- 
cans,  and  Roanoke  had  three.  Con- 
sidering the  fad  that  such  schools  as 
Duke,  Virginia,  and  N.  C.  Slate  fail- 
L'd  to  gel  more  than  two  positions  in 
the  entire  listing,  the  Athey-men's

-Also  annountetl  recently  was  the 
All->fason-Dixon  Conference  team. 
The  Sho'men  .shared  top  himors  with 
Hopkins,  with  each  school  getting 
three  men  on  the  first  team.  Ralii- 
c  U.,  Ihc  only  other  member  to 
get  more  than  one  player  on  the  fust 
:leven,  had  two  positions. 

Senior  Doug  Tilley,  one  of  W.C's 
most  outstanding  booters  and  t>esC 
U-around  athletes  in  many  a  year, 
k'as  voted  to  the  secomi  team  in  the 
Southern  section  of  the  .Ml-Ainerican. 
In  the  Mason-Dixon  balloting  he  was 
teamed  up  with  Jim  Hutchins  of  Hop- 
kins as  first  team  lineman.  Hutchins 
nosed  out  Tilley  in  the  All-American 
for  the  center  forward  post.  Roger 
Smoot,  who  will  be  back  in  the  Ma- 
roon and  Black  next  year,  was  plac- 
ed on  the  second  team  in  the  outside 
right  spot,  and  on  the  fir^it  All-NL-i).

came  out  ahead  of  Smoot  in  the 
V.  voting,  but  was  listed  on  the 
D,  second  eleven.  Left  fullback 
John  ".Mute"  Jennings  and  goalie 
Joe  S?ymanski  were  listed  as  fifth  best 
in  their  positions  in  the  South.  Jen- 
nings and  freshman  lineman  Barr> 
Burns  were  given  honorable  men- 
tion among  the  Mason-Dixon  stars. 

Drexel  Institute,  which  claims  it 
had  its  most  successful  season  (6  wins, 
2  ties,  and  4  losses,  including  a  4-2 
drubbing  by  the  Sho'men)  against 
such  opposition  as  Penn,  Temple, 
and  Hopkins,  listed  Tilley  as  the  best 
center  forward  it  faced  during  the 
season.  Also  included  in  their  All- 
Opponent  rating  was  Smoot,  second

ODK  Record  Dances

ODK  has  leccjilly  started  sponsor-

was  ten  cents  and  cokes  supplied  the 
refreshments. 

Tomorrow,  Valentine's  Day,  anoth-

being  fifiecn  cents,  with  refreshments

Football  111 
Is  Diagnosed 
As  Financial 

Ideas  of  what  to  do  about  Wash- 
ington College  football  were  examin- 
ed and  discussed  a  week  ago  Friday 
at  a  meeting  at  which  the  Athletic 
Council,  athletic  department,  admin- 
istration, faculty,  alumni,  and  stu- 
dents were  represented. 

If  football  were  brought  back  to 
the  W.C.  campus,  the  college  athletic 
budget  would  be  almost  doubled  in 
the  initial  year,  according  to  esti- 
mates by  Director  of  Athletics  Ed 
.\they  and  others. 

Several  theories  concerning  football 
and  W.C.  were  expressed,  discussed, 
and  supplemented.  Briefly,  they  are: 

(1)  The  college  should  build  its 
academic  reputation,  improve  the 
physical  plant,  raise  the  faculty  salary 
scale,  and  increase  student  enrollment 
— then  start  football  when  it  can  be 
alTorded. 

(2)  W.C.  should  get  football  now 
in  order  to  revive  sagging  school  spir- 
it, attract  more  students,  aid  our  oth- 
er sports  by  the  acquisition  of  all- 
around  athletes  that  football  brings, 
and  arouse  alumni  interest  to  aid 
in  procurement  of  funds  needed  for 
the  Development  Program.    ' 

(3)  The  school  should  build  the 
sports  program  and  teams  it  now  has 
in  order  to  raise  the  college's  reputa- 
tion and  standards,  attract  more  stu- 
dents, and  increase  student  and  alum- 
ni interest — then  get  football  when 
the  school   can   better  afford  it. 

The  whole  (juestion  boiled  down 
to  the  financial  situation.  Many  seem- 
ed encouraged  to  know  thai  football 
is  hot  abandoned,  though  the  "wheif" 
and  "how"  qucsti.ms  present  diirKu\t 
])robIeins  to  be  solved. 


Gripes  Topics  Of

The  Complaints  and  Grievances 
Committee  reported  as  follows: 

1)  The  piano  in  Hodson  Hall  will

has  stated  that  the  policy  of  the 
business  office  will  be  neithei

Various  activities  marked  ,  the  mid- 
winter Reunion  on  the  W.  C-  campus 
which  took  place  on  Feb.  6.  As  the

bridge.  Alpha  Omicron  Pi  was  in 
charge  of  the  decorations;  .\lpha  Chi 
Omega  prepared  the  menu;  Zeta  Tau 
.\lpha  formed  the  clean-up  group.

ably praised.

ed as  the  Sho'men  defeated  the  West- 

n  Maryland  Terron,  64-50.

SAY  SO  IN  PRINT 

Your  campus  newspaper  is  now  under  the  direction  of  m\\ 
editors.  Our  aims  are  simple — to  bring  you  the  campus  news,  ki  cjj 
you  posted  on  sports  happenings,  and  furnish  you  amusing  or  en- 
lightening features.  But,  most  of  all,  our  purpose  is  to  encouraji 
you  to  air  your  views  in  these  columns. 

Students,  you  have  exactly  two  official  voices  on  this  campus 
— Student  Government  and  this  newspaper.  Why  not  use  them 
both  for  effective  results?  Nothing  can  be  accomplished  by  grip- 
ing to  your  roommate  and  snack  bar  friends.  So  whether  you  have 
complaints,  praises,  proposals,  or  just  plain  peeves,  say  so  in  print! 


WHY  NO  SNACK  BAR? 

There  is  no  doubt  that  the  social  hub  of  the  W.  C.  campus, 
has,  for  the  last  three  years  at  least,  been  the  Snack  Bar.  This  is 
probably  due  to  the  fact  that  the  Snack  Bar  was  the  only  place  on 
campus  where  students  could  gather  and  socialize — with  the  excep- 
tion of  Hodson  Hall  which  is  rather  bare  and  uncomfortable  at  the 
present  time.  So  through  necessity  and  lack  of  better  social  facili- 
ties, students  used  the  Snack  Bar  as  their  social  gathering  place, 
spending  their  money  there  in  the  process.  Now  the  Snack  Bar  is  to 
be  closed  every  evening,  a  new  policy  begun  this  semester. 

No  official  announcement  or  explanation  has  been  offered 
to  the  students.  The  only  rumor  of  explanation  is  that  the  Snack 
Bar  is  yielding  only  one  per  cent  profit-  If  this  is  the  case,  the  stu 
dents  certainly  are  not  to  blame.  The  failure  must  be  elsewhere 
since  the  student  body  is  patronizing  the  Snack  Bar  this  year  as  in 
previous  years.  There  must  be  a  better  solution  to  the  problem  than 
simply  closing  the  place  in  the  evenings.  The  only  remedial  measure 
that  has  apparently  been  taken  was  to  raise  the  price  of  all  sand- 
wiches five  cents— and  still  the  Snack  Bar  remains  closed  at  night. 

Don't  students  have  a  right  to  expect  certain  conveniences  on 
a  college  campus?  And  isn't  a  Snack  Bar  a  necessity  to  a  growing 
college  plant?  This  is  especially  tme  in  a  community  such  as  ours 
where  drug  stores  and  sandwich  shops  are  very  few  and  quite  in^ 
convenient.  Only  one  store  of  this  type  is  within  logical  walking 
distance  of  the  college.  More  often  than  not  it  is  overcrowded  and 
students  walk  one  block  farther  to  what,  from  the  viewpoint  of  par- 
ents and  administration,  is  a  much  less  desirable  environment  for 
.<ittf^  students. 

It  certainly  seems  that  the  problem  warrants  more  concern 
and  study  of  possible  reasons  for  this  lack  of  profit  in  the  Snack  Bar 
so  that  corrective  steps  can  be  taken.  Both  the  students  and  the 
college  would  benefit  from  the  re-opening  of  the  Snack  Bar  in  the 
evenings.

Jiihnny,  a  member  of  Lambda 
Alpha,  who  recently  "lost"  his 
can  usually  be  found  on  the  arm  of  a 
gal  wearing  a  big  brown  coat.  At  odd 
intervals,  however,  he  bides  his  time 
by  irritating  professors,  plajing  the 
uke  or  saying  "Who  knows  but  the 
pr.iphets?",  and  in  his  "Idle  hours"  he 
can  be  found  patronizing  the  Snack 
Bar.  ■       ■      ■       -  ' 

After  graduation,  John  hopes  foi 
full-time  employment  with  the  No.v

Sam  may  have  other  plans  for  him.

John  will  be  greatly  misled  ne.\J

John,  in  anything  you  may  undertake.

hired  to  dig  in  the  dirt  under  the

Over  Ihe  past  three  weeks  the

Ficii  .Astaire  had  nothing  on  our 
iwn  Jerry  Levin  and  Gliciseppi.  Boys, 
you  were  too  much  at  the  Homecom- 
ing  Dance. 

And  speaking  of  homecoming,  many 
of  the  troops  were  in  good  spirits, 
and  vice-versa.  Kaiifinan,  what  hap- 
pened??? We  all  thought  Ncmcrov  was 
fighting  a  losing  battle.  I  guess  we  still 
have  some  gentlemen  left  around  here, 
but  I'll  never  know  why!  She  was 
lovely. 


Looks  as  though  thp  'Number  One. 
is  one  again??? 

The  boys  in  Somerset  have  quieted 
down  somewhat,  so  the  word  goes,  ,

else's  louder??? 

All  is  at  peace  with  the  World 
again.  Reid  Hall's  -water  is  no  longei 
tut  off,  and  all  the  girls  are  again 
fresh  as  violets,  and  somewhat  reliev- 
ed, loo.  1  imagine! 

The  AOII's  beat  the  Zcta's  in  some 
sort  of  sporting  evcntt  and  it  looki 
like  two  of  Lhein  are  beating  out  ihe 
Zeta's.  Now  they  arc  playing  arourid 
with  the  Zeia's  new  found  love,  the 
Foo  Hou-ie'.  One  has  had  experience 
though,  so  Saylee,  watch  Ihe  liiilc 
Hula  dancei-  and  learn! 

Howard,   Lacrosse  starts   next   Mon- 
day,  and    by   and   large,   you    haver 
been   keeping   in      the   best     possible 
shape.  Better  give  up  this  other  spoil, 
if  she  will  let  you. 

Speaking  of  the  greatest  sport  in  the 
world,  you  freshmen  have  a  lot 
learn.  Poor  Dr.  Anderson  is  doing  his 
best  to  break  the  'birds  and  bees'  neu 
gently  to  you,  and  you  have  (he  ncri 
lo  run  around  the  campus  and  tell 
everyone  his  classes  are,  pardon  the 
word,  sexey.  Very  poor  taste,  boji 
and  girls,  but  you'll  learn,  and  we 
haven't  forgotten  that  you  arc 
here.

Bergen  Leads  Sho  ^men  In  Victory  Over  Terrors 


ATHLETE'S  FEAT 

By  JERRY  YUDIZKY 


When  one  person  takes  over  another's  job,  there  is  the  old  say- 
"He  has  the  person's  shoes  to  fill."     But  in  my  case  it's  more  of 
niJitter  of  having  feet — or  rather  feats — to  fill. 

For  my  first  assignment  for  this  column  I  walked  my  non- 
oo-athlctic  feet  over  to  Room  30  in  the  library  building  to  inter- 
ic"'  a  person  whose  feet  and  over-all  abilities  have  made  him  na- 
ionally  known  for  his  athletic  feats. 

Around  the  campus  the  name  of  Dr.  Charles  B.  Clark  seems 
3  go  together  with  just  two  things — history  and  lacrosse.  At  W,  C. 
Clark  has  concentrated  more  on  academic  affairs  rath<^r  than 
tliletics,  serving  for  six  years  as  Dean  of  Men  and  currently  as  the 
lead  of  the  Department  of  History  and  Political  Science.  His  only 
thietic  duty  has  been  coaching  the  Sho'  stickmcn.  However,  Dr, 
Hark  has  also  tutored  college  basketball  and  lacrosse  in  Georgia 
[id  high  school  soccer,  track,  basketball,  and  lacrosse  in  Mary- 
and.  Going  back  to  his  days  of  active  participation  on  the  playing 
ifld,  he  was  a  three-year  member  of  Washington  College's  football 
n  and  a  lacrosse  man  for  four  years,  during  which  time  he  was 
lonorcd  on  the  All-Maryland  first  team. 

Reviving  a  sport  after  a  fourteen  year  absence  from  a  campus 
no  easy  task,  but  in  the  return  of  lacrosse  to  this  campus  Coach 
;;brk  came  up  with  an  undefeated  season  which  saw  the  Sho'men 
iclorious  in  all  of  their  eight  engagements.  However,  Dr.  Clark 
onsiders  his  '51  team  as  the  best  he's  coached.  This  team  went 
3  for  the  year  and  was  voted  ninth  best  in  the  country,  with 
lip  Wood  being  placed  on  the  first  string  All-American  team  and 
iarry  Kabernagel  on  the  third.  When  you  realize  that  Wood  had 
lad  no  previous  experience  in  the  stick  game,  the  All-American 
ilcction  of  the  high  scoring  attackman  exemplifies  the  coaching 
ibiiity  of  Dr.  Clark.  In  recognition  of  his  fine  tutoring,  Clark  was 
:hpsen  assistant  coach  of  the  All-South  team  in  '51  and  last  year 
lead  coach,  directing  the  South  to  a  12-9  victory  over  the  North. 
Fv  o  members  of  last  year's  squad,  John  Grim  and  Bill  Russell, 
re  on  All-American  teams,  Gri^  the  second,  and  Russel  the  third, 
ind  since  '48  ten  Sho'men  have  made  the  All-South  team.  The 
:apable  handling  of  these  players,  and  a  60  won,  21  lost  record  over 
he  seven  year  period  have  made  Coach  Clark  one  of  the  outstand- 
[ip  lacrosse  mentors  in  the  country. 

Although   both   Grim  and  Russell  graduated  last  June,  there 

irc  more  experienced  personnel  returning  this'  year  than  there  were 

this  time  last  year.     It  is  with  this  fact  in  mind  that  Coach  Clark 

looking  forward  to  opening  another  successful  season  in  the  near 

uture, 

'Sports  are  a  very  necessai^  and  important  part  of  college  life", 
■canons  the  academic  and  athletic  instructor.  "But  they  must  not 
niorfere  with  the  academic  part,  which  must  be  given  full  considera- 
otherwise." 


Slio'in.in  cenltr  Bob  "Rock"  Knrdon  grabs  iinpcrtani  rebound  in  tus- 
scll  against  Terrors  as  "Ea.fy"  Ed  Silvcric,  local  forward,  observes  in- 
icnsc  nction.  Washington  brought  happiness  to  a  Iloniecomiiig  crowd 
by  gaining  revenge  wilh  a  sparkling  66  lo  50  victory.

Baltimore  U. 
Next  Host 

Daltimorc  U.,  one  of  the  loop-lead- 
ers in  the  Mason-Dixon  Conference, 
plays  host  to  the  Washington  College 
Sho'men  on   Feb.   17th  at   Baltimore. 

Baltimore  U,  is  currently  the  lead- 
ing team  in  sciring  in  the  Mason- 
Dixon  Conference  with  an  offensive 
average  of  91,2  points  per  game,  and 
also  third  in  small  college  scoring  in 
the  country.  In  addition,  they  have 
a  47.9  field  goal  percentage  which  is 
first  in  the  country  among  small  col- 
leges. 

The  high  Rying  Bees,  coached  by 
young  M  Baiholamew.  now  hold  a 
10-4  over-all  record  and  a  6-1  M-D 
record,  their  lone  conference  loss  hav- 
ing come  dt  the  hands  of  .-Vmerican

Both  of  ihe  Bees'  sharp-shjoiers  are 
from  Baltimore  City.  Center  Ron 
Hall.  6'5",  the  leading  scorer  for  B.U., 
hails  from  Baltimore  City  College. 
His  high  soring  partner.  John  Salva- 
dore.  hails  from  Southern  High  of 
Baltimore,  and  is  a  transfer  from  the 
L'.  of  Maryland  where  he  played  on 
the  freshman  squad. 

Wilh  height  as  the  determining 
factor,  Coach  Einenon  Smith  will  have 
to  depend  upon  accurate  shooting  and 
good  ball  handling  to  ollsci  B.t'.'s 
towering  team,  which  averages  6'3" 
fer  man.  The  Sho'men  rebounding 
p.river  will  thus  come  in  the  form  of 
"P.-'go"  I'liarcs,  along  with  (leshmen 
Lou  Borbcrly  and  IVib  Kardon.  Jack 
Rergen.  F.d  Silveric,  Ronnie  Sisk  and 
Chic  H^incs  will  undoubtedly  be  call- 
ed upon  to  3<ld  their  scoring  punrh 
:.i   the   contest.

exhibition  of  possession  basketball  and 
accurate  shooting  as  Ihey  downed  the 
Green  Terrors  of  Western  Maryland, 
CO-50  in  a  Mason-Dixon  game.  Thi* 
avenged  an  earlier  loss  handed  the 
Sho'men  at  Western  Maryland.  72  to 
and  increased  their  season's  recor4 
to  4  wins.  5  losses  in  M-D  action. 

The  Terrors  scored  first,  taking  the 
ball  on  the  opening  tap  oft  and  quick- 
ly converting  it  into  two  points.  The 
Sho'men  put  themselves  in  the  game 
shot  from  the  corner  by 
Jack  Bergen.  6'1"  forward,  who  look 
top  Sho"  scoring  honors  with  21 
points.  The  score  changed  hands  five 
the  initial  period  as  the 
Sho'men  tried  to  offset  the  shooting 
he  Terror's  ace,  .W  Dopsi,  who 
connected  for  five  straight  hook  and 
jump  shots  in  six  attempts.  Bopst  led 
the  attack  for  the  Terrors  as  he  col- 
tecied  12  of  Western  Maryland's  15 
points  in  the  opening  period.  The  pe- 
riod ended  with  the  Terrors  leading 
15-13  as   their   three-two  zone  defense 

iffsci  the  controlled  ball  handling  at- 
tack by  Washington. 

The  Sho'men  came  back  in  the  sec- 
ond period  fired  up  by  Coach  Emerson 
Smith  as  they  soon  shattered  the  op- 
position's defense  and  began  to  give 
the  Terrors  an  idea  of  keen  collegiate 
competition.  The  Sho'men  ran  up  a 
32-29  halftime  lead  as  they  out-hustled 
and  out-.scored  the  visitors,  19-14.  in 
the  second  period. 

After  intermission  the  Sho'men  ex- 
ecuted  the  fast  break  at  its  best  and

Congratulations  to  Sondra  again! 
She  got  pinned  during  mid-semester 
vacation.  ("Oh,  I'm  so  embarrassed"), 
Our  "Little  Del"  got  piifned,  too. 
Good  luck  to  both  of  you.

ulations,   Jo, 

K.A. 

The  K..\.  Order  has,  unfortunate- 
ly, lost  two  brothers  due  to  the  re- 
cent February  graduations,  Spence 
Latham  and  Ell,s  Boyd.  Because  of 
the  loss  of  these  brotlicrs.' temporary 
officers  had  to  be  installed.  They  were 
Ardeu  Fox  II,  Al  Brczna  IV.  and 
Chan   Chapman  _V. 

The  K..-\.  basketball  team  won  one 
more  of  its  intramural  games  this  past 
week  by  defeating  Phi  Sigma  Kappa. 
The  entire  order  is  looking  forward 
to  a  play-off  berth  and  possibly  thi 
hampionship.  Going  from  sports  to 
academics,  the  order  came  up  with  a 
1.4  index  for  the  semester.  Two  boys — 
Spence   Latham   and   Al   Brezna    with 

2.3  and  2.22  respectively— made  the 
Dean's  List.  Joe  Geissler  just  missed 
with  a  2.00.  Al  deserves  special  men- 
ion  for  his  outstanding  work.  He 
was  carrying  30  hours  of  work  last 
imesier  and  still  came  up  with  that 
2.22  index. 

Last  Monday  K.A.  held  its  formal 
rush  party  at  the  Ranch.  Needless  lo 
its  outcome  was  a  successful  one. 


Football  At  W.C. . . . 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 

at    Ihc    collie,    does    not    think    the 
point  has  been  reached  where  it  is  fi- 
nancially sound  to  revive  the  game. 
"Until   such    tjmc   as   it   is   possible 
I  return    football  to  the  athletic  pro- 
gram, it  is  the  hope  of  the  council  that 
there  can  be  a  geperal  acceleration  in 
the    other    sports.      The    S250.000    for 
field    house,    restored    this    week    to 
slate  capital  bond  bill,  should  prove 
big  step   in   improving   the   calibre 
of   basketball   teams. 

"Washington  College  has  not  turned 
its  back  on  football  and  its  return  can 
be  hastened  by  the  way  the  students. 
alumni  and  friends  support  other 
sports  and  activities  to  the  end  that 
the  college  will  prosper  and  thus  make 
the  revival  of  the  great  college  sport 
:rtainty."

from  Belair,  Maryland,  where  he  3 
tended  North  Hartford  High  Sdiajl 
and  excelled  in  basketball,  baseball, 
soccer  and  track.  He  co-captained  ihc 
basketball  team  in  his  senior  year 
and  paced  the  club  with  214  points 
17  outings^for  a  neat  12.5  average,  for 
his  efforts  he  was  selected  to  the  Han- 
ford  County  AlkSlar  team.  Being  hig: 
scorer  seems  to  come  natural  to  Jj. 
cobs  since  lie  ourrcntly  holds  the  in- 
tramural record  for  the  most  poinii 
scored  in  a  single  game  this  year  with 
34  counters,  that  being  against  the 
Phi  Sigma  Kappa  fraternity. 

While  at  North  Hartford  he  also 
played  third  base  on  the  school's  dia- 
mond nine,  batting  a  substantial 

fullback  on  the  soccer  team  and 
active  in  the  broad  jtimp  and  discut 
in    track. 

Although  studies  cotiie  'first  with 
Tommy,  he  has  not  given  up  .sporii 
completely.  He  was  on  this  year's  soc- 
cer team,  and  come  spring,  he'll  be 
battling  for  a  starting  berth  on  the

In  "Candida 
March  5,  6 


It's  only  one  week  until  Curtain 
Time  for  [he  Washington  Players 
proiluciion  of  "Candida",  by  Bernard 
Shaw.  Directed  by  Deac  Owings,  the 
play  is  well  on  the  way  lo  scoring 
a  winter  hit  according  to  observers. 
"Candida"  is  set  in  England  at  the 
vicai-age  of  the  Rev,  James  Mavor  Mo- 
dll  (Jack  Daniel),  a  distinguished 
Anglican  minister,  a  moralist,  and  an 
idealist.  Constantly  conflicting  with 
him  is  his  father-in-law.  Burgess  (Al- 
do Gallo),  a  rustic  old  reprobate  uho 
considers  Morcll  a  pompous  "wind- 
bag". In  the  title  role  Betty  Ayrcs 
plays  Candida,  Morcll's  beautiful 
young  wife,  sweet  and  loving  on  the 
outside,  but  cold  and  calculating. un- 
derneath. Her  personality  is  dynamic 
and  she  realizes  her  ability  to  mold 
the  lives  of  others  lo  hcr  own  ends. 
Others  Cast 

Lexy  {.-Vl  Condello)  is  Morell's 
curate,  the  exact  opposite  of  his  su- 
perior, a  light-hearted  young  clergy- 
man who  doc,  not  lake  too  scriously- 
his  ministerial  duties.  Floundering  in 
his  own  insecure  world  is  March- 
banks  (Jim  Metcalf),  an  elfeminate 
young  poet  who  idolizes  Candida  and 
falls  in  love  with  her.  Prossy.  (Bar- 
bara Townsend)  is  Morell's  busy,  self- 
less secretary,  an  efhcient  and  some- 
what   frustrated  young  woihan. 

The  plot  shows  a  fascinating  inter- 
weaving of  personalities  with  Candida 
enmeshing  each  character  in  the  tapes- 
try  of  her  grace,   tact,  and   cunning. 

Tickets  may  be  purchased  in  the 
Snack  Bar  or  from  any  member  of  the 
Players.  The  play  is  at  8:30  in  Bill 
Smith  Hall  next  Friday  and  Salur-

William  Howell  Speaks 


Omicron  Delta  Kappa  Honorary  5- 
Leadership  Fraternity  held  its  tapping 
ceremony  on  Thursday,  February  18, 
in  William  Smith  Auditorium.  The 
two  new  members  tapped  were  Rod 
Ware,  one  of  Washington  College's 
outstanding  students,  and  Mr.  Ed- 
ward R.  Padgett,  local  Assistant  Pro-

ence. Guest  speaker  for  the  occasion 
was  William  Rabon  Howell,  Emeritus 
Professor  ot  Economics  and  Sociology 
at  Washington  CoHegc. 

Mr,  Howell  spoke  primarily  on  the 
mportancc  of  education.  He  stressed 
lie  following  points:  (1)  Education 
is  necessary  for  citizenship;  duty  is 
connected  with  personal  rights;  and 
freedom  has  limitations.  (2)  Education 
is  important  in  obtaining  knowledge 
and  skills.  He  also  stated  that  every 
person  should  have  at  least  one  skill. 

(3)  .'V  good  education  can  be  had 
from   a   general   Liberal  Arts  course. 

He  also  spoke  of  five  important 
inciplcs  that  children  should  know 

apd  learn  while  still  young.  (1)  A 
hild    should      learn    the    importance 

of    self-control    and    will    power.      (2) 

He  should  learn  to  develop  tolerance.

F.T.A.  Heais 
Italian  Woman 

The  FTA  sponsored  a  talk  and 
sciission  by  Dr,  Alduina  MovilU 
om  Florence,  Italy,  on  Thursday. 
lebruary  18.  Dr.  Movilli  is  a  friend 
of  Dean  Doyle's,  and  it  was  he  who 
secured  her  for  the  group.  Miss  Mo- 
villi is  in  the  United  Slates  under 
a  teacher-exchange  plan  whereby  she 
and  othei-  tcacheri;  observe  .American 
public  education  for  six  months.  She 
has    been    here   since   September. 

During  her  stay  here.  Dr.  Movilli 
has  visited  many  educational  institu- 
tions, but  this  was  her  first  oppor- 
tunity to  talk  with  students  in  a  liber- 
al arts  school,  She  was  especially  in- 
terested because  most  of  the  group 
were  alucation  majors. 

At  the  meeting  Miss  Movilli  con- 
trasted the  systems  of  education  in 
the  United  States  and  in  her  own 
country.  The  most  important  differ- 
ence is  that  Italian  children  are  only 
compelled  by  law  to  attend  school  to 
the  age  of  1-1.

Washington  College  celebrated  two 
inniversaries  last  Monday  —  George 
Washington's  birthday  and  the  172nd 
anniversary  of  the  founding  of  the 
college.  It  was  again  time  to  realize 
liow  closely  the  first  President  was 
connected  with  our  college  in  its  ear- 
ly days.  W.C.  is  unique  among 
American  institutions  of  higher  learn- 
ing in  being  the  first  school  to  which 
Washington  gave  his  name.  Washing- 
ton also  gave  fifty  guineas  for  its  fi- 
nancial support  and  in  1781  became 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Visitors  and 
Giivemors.  Washington's  first  honorary 
degree  was  conferred  on  him  by  W.C. 
""ler  he  was  elected  President. 
Spring  Convocation  opened  with  an 
.ideniic  procession  in  IVilliam  Smith 
all.  Dr.  Gibsdn  presented  the  Rev. 
r.  Hudson,  pastor  of  First  Methodist 
Church,  who  gave  the  invocation,  af- 
ter which  faculty,  students,  and  guests 
joined  in  singing  "Our  God,  Our 
Help  in  Ages  Past".  Then  Dr.  Gib- 
son  introduced  Dr.  Neil  H.  Swanson. 
executive  editor  and  vice-president  of 
the  "Baltimore  Evening  Sun"  until 
last  year,  and  an  eminent  writer  and 
novelist. 

Dr.  Swanson  spoke  on  "Washington, 
Master  of  Adversity"  and  unveiled  a 
new  oral  picture  of  our  first  Presi- 
it.  He  felt  chat  in  their  devotion 
to  Washington,  Americans  have  almost 
defied  him.  They  have  made  him 
loof,  impenonal,  and  perfect  and 
lost  sight  of  the  qualities  that  truly 
made  him  great. 

The  distinguished  editor  pictured 
Washington  as  a  man  of  dignity  with 
great  faith  in  himself— one  who  did 
not  always  put  his  trust  in  those  who 
best  deserved  it,  who  was  fired  by  in- 
tense ambition  and  endowed  with 
fierce  determination.  His  Washington 
the  very  human  person  who,  as 
general,  diplomat.  and  politician, 
aade  many  mistakes  and  did  not  al- 
t-ays profit  by  them.  Tliis  Washington 
blundered  in' the  Ohio  Valley,  at  the 
Battle  of  Brooklyn  Heights  and  the 
Battle  of  Brandywinc,  and  at  Morris- 
town  and  Valley  Forge\  .\  target  of 
abuse  during  our  country's  youth,  he 
often  insulted  and  censured  by 
his  contemporaries. 
The  real  George  Washington  was 
man  subject  to  human  frailties,  and 
yet  was  a  source  of  inspiraiion.  To  Dr.

THE  OLD  COLLEGE  SPIRIT 

Stunt  Night,  by  far  the  most  successful  s.ociaI  activity  of  the 
year,  is  certainly  an  effective  answer  to  those  ever-present  pcssi- 
mis's  who  say,  "The  trouble  with  this  school  is  that  there's  no  col- 
lege spirit."  A  school  is  as  spirited  as  its  students  make  it;  no  more, 
no  less.  And  here  lies  the  secret  of  the  success  of  Stunt  Night.  Al- 
most every  student  on  campus  was,  in  some  way.  connected  with 
one  of  the  various  organizations  competing. 

The  seniors,  under  John  Newbold,  deserves  a  pat  on  the  back 
for  planning  and  managing  the  successful  affair.  Stunt  Night,  a 
tradition  handed  down  to  each  succeeding  senior  class,  should  be 
that  class's  major  social  responsibility.  Let's  hope  that  there  is  never 
a  year  in  which  W.C.  students  cannot  participate  in  a  Stunt  Night. 

The  faculty  also  took  an  important  and  active  part  in  Stunt 
Night.  "Doc"  James  imitated  everybody  on  campus  and  finally 
resorted  to  his  Jimmy  Durante  act.  Mr,  James  was  a  clever  and 
amusing  host  for  the  evening.  The  four  persons  who  had  the  difficult 
task  of  deciding  which  skits  siiould  receive  the  cups  were  Miss  Hart- 
man.  Dr.  Motto,  Mr.  Padgett,  and  Mr.  .Anderson. 

But  most  of  the  credit  for  a  successful  Stunt  Night  goes  to  the 
six  organizations  and  several  individuals  who  took  part  in  the  pro- 
gram. There  was  evidence  of  long  and  hard  practice,  artistic  stag- 
ing, careful  skit  construction,  and  authentic  costuming.  The  cali- 
bre of  the  acts  this  year  was  decidedly  higher  than  previously.  If, 
to  some  eyes  and  cars,  a  few  of  the  lines  seemed  a  bit  risque,  just 
chalk  it  up  to  this  modern  generadon's  broad-minded  (?)  sense  of 
humor. 

Audience  response  and  parlicipadon  was  far  above  average. 
Led  by  Pete  Long  at  the  piano,  the  entire  house  joined  in  singing 
everything  from  "Dixie"  to  "It  Was  Sad  \Vhcn  That  Great  Ship 
Went  Down". 

To  coin  a  worn-out.  corny  phrase — a  good  time  was  had  by 
all.

gang  ...  my  name  is  Nosey 
Ned.  and  bclieie  \ou  me,  I  do  know 
.  about  you.  .Mac  and  Joanne. 
What's  a  "Dear  John"  here  and  a 
"Dear  Jane'  there  Congraiulations 
to  both  of  you. 

.  -  .  and  about  a  certain  freshman 
girl  who  doesn't  know  grxKl  "sodal" 
math — two's  company,  three's  confu 
sion — or  do  you  have  your  mind  sei 
on  higher  raaih.  geomcirj'  and  ,  ,  . 
the   Irianglc/ " 

Say  Jalbcn,  understand  you  were 
almost  talked  out  of  a  date  last  Satur- 
day nighi.  The  "'train"  must  have 
been  derailed,  or  il  never  would  have 
happened  .  .  .  right  Robert??? 

Inridently,  the  Phi  Sigma  Kappa 
Moonlight  Ball  was  really  greatl  And 
to  you,  Kay  Booth,  their  new  Queen, 
a  nod  of  the  nose  in  the  way  of  con- 
gratulations. 

.\nd  while  I'm  handing  out  com- 
plimenii;  some  to  the  persons  of  Park- 
er and  Lincoln  for  winning  the 
"couching  out"  award.  .Meihinks 
such  stamina  look  months  of  skillful 
picparatioo. 

Speaking  of  Lincolns.  Claire,  which 
ii  it,  the  furemcniioncd  or  a  Ford 
convertible.  And  while  Vm  thinking 
of  you,  I  saw  you  holding  hands  with 
W.C-s  most  eligible  bachelor  on  the 
front  steps  of  Hodson  Hall  last  Sat- 
urday. 

Anne,  old  pal.  I  JcaWy  think  yoti 
should  have  won  one  of  those  cups  on 
Stunt  night.  But  why  couldn't  you 
rod  from  the  b<xjk,  or  did  that  red 
nightgown  have  you  capiivaicd???? 

Quote  of  the  wcdc— "It  never  (ails. 


(Strictly  Dr.  Clark's  opinion),  ihi 

in    love    or   something    and    really    l;- 

to  pot." 

Question  of  the     week— Wh> 
there  no  K.  A.  chapters  at  the  N.^i;,, 
Pole?    Not    solely    because    of    the    cli- 
mate,  but   because  the  boys  wouldn't 
be  able  to  get  hold  of  any  red  roses. 

-About  this  Grim  and  Howard  cou- 
ple   and    a    certain    card    party.    Seems 
though    (hese    two    were    so      busy 
h    their    own    gel    together,      they 
didn't   notice   the  other. 

By     the     way,     Kclling,     hear       tell 

lu're  in   the  market  for  a  new  alarm 

clock.   I   know  of  a   Bell  on   campus 

that    would   gladly   help    you    make   i( 

on   lime. 

And— what  innocent  announcement 
in  Hodson  backfired  and  had  the  2e- 
la'j  blushing  this  week?  Vou  shouldn't 
take  such  obviously  prejudiced  fans 
so   seriously,   girls. 

You  think  I  don't  know  about  hap- 
penings around  the  campus?  Well,  no 
mailer  how  hard  you  look  you'll  ncv 
cr   find   ole   Nosey   Ned. 


A  Daughter 
Returns 

This  weeks  faculty  "star"  ends  ; 
series  of  articles  on  the  new  campu: 
pedagogues.  AVc  think  you'll  agree 
that  ihey  arc  a  well-qualified  and  per- 
sonable group  of  people,  ami  hope 
that  we  ha\c  brought  them  closer 
to  you  through  our  brief  introdiic- 
lions. 

Miss  Covey,  however,  has  already 
mci  and  been  well  received  by  the 
W.C.  public.  You  will  remember  her 
piano  recital  last  November  at  one 
of  ihc  most  successful  assemblies  o( 
the  year.  Her  program  included  sucTf 
works  as  Chopin's  Etudes  in  A  Flat 
and  F"  Klinor,  and  his  Prelude  in 
Major;  Debussy's  Tlie  Minstrels;  Lento 
by  Cyril  Scoit;  Tlic  Little  While  Don- 
key by  Ibert:  Liszt's  Etude  in  D  Flat; 
Feiix  Follcts  by  Phillips  and  Ballet 
Music  from  Orpheus  by  Cluck — this 
variety  alone  is  perhaps  indicalivt 
her  versaiilily  and  virtuosity.  Miss 
Covey  has  attained  much  of  her  mu- 
sical skill  by  working  independently, 
bill  incidcntly,  she  studied  under  our 
own  Miss  Russell  as  a  student  at 
W.C.  She  speaks  of  ^tiss  Russell  as 
a  icachcr  with  great  adcction  and  re- 
spect. 

In  spite  of  her  talent.  Miss  Covey 
considers  music  as  merely  a  hobby — 
she  has  long  been  absorbed  in  the 
leaching  of  mathematics.  After  giad- 
uaiing  from  Washington  College  she 
studied  for  two  years  at  the  School 
of  Pure  Science  of  Columbia  Universi-

journalism,  in  which  he  has  done  ex- 
tensive work  as  circulation  and  busi-

ATHLETE'S  FEAT 

By  JERRY  YUDIZKY 


In  each  issue  of  the  Elm  this  page  features  an  article  on  the 
linian  prospect  of  the  week.     I  hope  I'm  not  stepping     oul  of 
jiinds  by  discussing  a  person  whom  I  consider  the  freshman  pros- 
;c[  of  the  year. 

Last  spring's  graduating  class  at  Easton  High  School  consisted 
boys  and  girls,  most  of  whom  were  at  the  southern  shore  school 
ir  four  years.  Although  he  didn't  receive  a  diploma,  or  wear  a 
ip  and  gown,  or  participate  in  the  graduation  ceremony,  our  pros- 
;;ct  "graduated"  from  Easton  High  after  spending  six  years  there, 
t  W.G.  he  doesn't  have  to  worry  about  dean  slips  or  Dean's  Lists. 
you  have  probably  guessed  by  now,  this  isn't  just  another  ordin- 
y  student. 

Emerson  Smith  is  a  student  in  the  field  of  coaching  athletics. 

iring  his  six  years  at  Easton  High  he  piloted  his  basketball  fives 

fi8  victories,  losing  39  tilts.     Still  more  spectacular  is  the  record 

[  his  track  and  field  teams  which  won  the  State  Championships 

uring  each  of  the  six  seasons.     In  his  freshman  year  of     college 

hing  he  has  done  a  commendable  job  molding  the  cross  coun- 

md  basketball  squads.  That  short,  short  hair  cut  of  his  is  prob- 
bly  to  prevent  him  from  pulling  too  many  of  his  hairs  out  during 
ic  many  tense  moments  in  those  close  games  his  hoopstcrs  have 
efti  engaged  in  recently.  Lacking  the  team  height  for  a  free  scoring 
lylc  of  game,  Coach  Smith  has  developed  a  successful  possession 
tyle,  with  the  players  setting  up  the  better  shots  and  thus  incrcas- 

thc  percentage  of  their  shooting.  This  type  of  game  was  rc- 
ppnsible  for  holding  Baltimore  U,,  one  of  the  highest  scoring  small 
ollcge  teams  in  the  country  with  an  average  of  over  100  points 
cr  game,  to  67  points  in  a  one  point  overtime  win  over  the  Shore- 
nn  on  the  Bees'  home  floor.  There's  no  rest  for  the  weary,  whether 
c  be  a  freshman  student  studying  for  one  blue  book  after  another  or 
freshman  coach  going  from  one  sport  to  another.  As  soon  as  the 
oiiFt  season  ends.  Coach  Smith  will  find  his  time  occupied  by  the 
luidoor  track  and  field  squad  which  has  already  begun  practicing. 

For  his  academic  studying,  Emerson  Smith  attended  the  schools 
s  home  town  of  Kent,  Ohio,  where  he  also  received  his  college 
!.S  at  Kent  State  College.  In  high  school  he  made  the  All-Mc- 
ropolitan  teams  in  basketball,  track,  and  football  in  the  Ohio  Val- 
During  World  War  II  he  was  a  chief  specialist  in  athletics 
luring  his  four  years  with  Uncle  Sam's  Navy. 

Washington  College  has  made  one  particular  impression  on  the 
ricndly  coach  that  he  would  like  to  sec  corrected  next  year.  That 
mprcssion  is  that  the  school  is  not  backing  its  teams  with  the  spirit 
li.U  it  should.  A  team  will  play  much  better,  more  inspired  ball  if 
has  the  whole  student  body  in  the  stands  cheering  it  on.  Only  half 
if  a  cheering  section  doesn't  encourage  the  players  to  do  their  best. 
Viih  the  experience  of  his  first  year  of  college  tutoring  behind  him, 
ind  the  prospect  of  greater  student  support  and  interest  in  the  vari- 
ous athletic  events,  Emerson  Smith  is  quite  confident  of  overcoming 
111-  popular  "Sophomore  Jinx"  that  is  commonly  associated  with 
ill.'  fii-ld  of  athletics.

Indoor  Track  Meet 

Under  The  Weather 

W.C.  recently  completed  what  must 
have  been  the  shortest  season  for  a 
competilive  sport  in  this  school's  his- 
tory— possibly  in  the  history  of  na- 
tional collegiate  athletics. 

A  Maroon  and  Black,  indoor  track 
team  was  organized  in  an  attempt  to 
bi;ing  back  to  the  Shore  hardboard 
laccs  that  have  been  absent  from  the 
local  scene  for  loo  many  years.  But 
when  the  day  came  for  the  team  to 
leave  for  their  only  scheduled  meet 
of  liie  year,  which  was  to  have  been 
held  in  Washington.  D.  C.  ihey 
found  ilicmselve,'^  snow  bound  to  the 
campus,    unable    to   make   the   trip. 

In  many  sports  you  have  the  oc- 
currence: "Game  called  because  of  iain 
—postponed  to  a  later  date."  Of  W.C.'s 
indoor  track  attempt  you  might  say; 
"Season  called  because  of  snow — 
postponed   till  nc.\i   year." 


Greyhounds 
Nip  Sho'men 

by  Allen  Grimes 

The  Greyhounds  of  Loyola  Col- 
lege of  Baltimore  rallied  in  the  sec- 
)nd  half  of  last  Monday's  tussle  to 
nip  Ihc  Sho'jmen  Cl-58  in  a  Mason- 
Dixon  Conference  game.  The  victory 
Loyola  a  S-2  conference  record 
and  a  firm  grip  on  the  second  place 
slot. 

The  Sho'men  outplayed  the  invaders 
during  the  initial  period,  holding 
[hem  to  10  points,  while  collecting 
I")  themselves.  The  scoring  was  spread 
evenly  between  the  players  with  for- 
ward Jack  Bergen  and  guard  George 
Hesse  each  collecting  a  basket  and 
two   foul  shots   to  lead   the  way, 

Joe  HilUeman.  ace  scorer  for  the 
Greyhounds  and  leading  M-D  score; 
began  to  show  his  skill  in  the  second 
period  as  he  put  in  four  field  goal; 
and  ihree  fouls  for  H  joints,  i;h( 
Greyh.iunds  outscored  the  Sho'men 
20-lS  in  the  second  period  to  cut  iheii 
lead   to  only    two  points  at  lialftimc. 

The  third  period  proved  to  be  the 
undoing  of  the  Maroon  and  Black  as 
ihe  superior  heights  of  [he  Grey- 
hounds began  to  pay  off.  The  Hounds 
controlled  the  backboards  during  the 
period  and  built  up  an  8-point  lead, 
which  the  Sho'men  were  never  able  to 
overcome.  The  period  ended  with 
the  Greyhotnids  leading  50-47. 

The  injury  to  the  Sho"  team  by 'the 
loss  of  Ronnie  Sisk  in  Ihe  third  period 
was  added  to  when  Bob  Kardon  foul- 
ed out  at  (he  beginning  of  the  fourth 
period.  This  left  Washington  in  the 
hole  for  height  while  Loyola  still  had 
G'6"  Jerry  Chadwick  to  control  the 
backlward.  The  Sho'men  lied  the 
game  at  'iG-jfi,  but  free  throws  by 
Joe  Lacy  and  Don  Wheatley  returned 
the  lead  to  Loyola,  IVashington 
brought  the  score  to  60-58  when 
Loyola  took  time  out.  Loyola  couldn't 
get  the  ball  in  on  time  and  with  ten 
seconds  to  go  Washington  took  con- 
trol <if  the  ball.  Jerry  Chadwick  was 
fouled  as  he  tried  to  steal  the  ball 
from  the  Sho'men  and  sank  his  firsi 
free  throw  to  give  the  Greyhounds 
a  61-58  lead.  He  missed  his  second  but 
the  rebound  was  taken  by  Wheatley 
who  threw  it  down  court  where  Loyola 
held  it  till  time  ran  out.

The  local  baskclbal!  squad  will  take 

I  Randolph-Macon  tonight  in  hopes 
notching  anolher  Mason -Dixon 
Conference  victory.  The  game  is  slat- 
ed 10  get  under  way  at  8:30  p.m.  with 
he  jayvecs  seeing  action  in  the  pre- 
iminary  contest  at  6:45  p.m. 

Randolph-Miicon  is  one  of  the  few 
cams  with  whom  the  locals  tangle 
iiidy  once  during  the  regular  season, 
hui  if  the  score  of  last  year's  game 
and  team  records  can  be  used  as  a 
measuring  slick,  ilie  g;ime  tonight 
shoidd  prove  lo  be  a  down  lo  the 
wire  battle. 

Last  year  the  locals  liavcled  to 
Randolph-Macon  and  proved  to  be 
very  impolite  guests  by  defeating 
their  Mason-Dixon  rivaU  78-G6.  This 
year  with  (he  college  ciuiniet  playing 
host,  the  R-M  basketeers  will  be  oul 
to  turn  the  tables. 

As  far-  as  the  season  records  go, 
neither  team  is  sporting  too  good  a 
log.  The  Smiihmcu.  up  to  and  in- 
cluding the  Loyola  game,  stood  5-7  in 
league  competition  and  a  0^10  overall 
record.  Randolph-Macon,  as  of  last 
week,  boasted  a  -1-7  record  in  league 
battles  and  in  their  overall  record 
showed  7  wins  against  1 1  setbacks. 
Coach  Smith  will  be  cotmiing  on

club    in    the   scoring  department   with 

2,5   and    12,3    averages    respectively.

Jays  Triumph 

Coach  Emerson  Smith's- Maroon  and 
Black  eagcrs  .were  stopped  by  Johns 
Hopkins  U.,  66-61  before  one  thou- 
sand Hopkins  fans  in  Baltimore  last 
Saturday.   Feb.  20. 

Spurred  on  by  Ed  Haberman  and 
Jay  Yakubisin,  Coach  Bob  Bilgrave's 
Blue  Jays  got  oil  lo  a  7-2  le.id  in  the 
first  quarter  before  Ronnie  Sisk  sank 
Washington's  first  basket.  After  drop- 
ping behind  12-1.  the  Sho'men.  with 
Bob  Kardon's  under-thc-basket  work, 
managed  to  fight  back  to  within 
15-13  as  the  quartei:  ended. 

In  the  second  half  Bob  Kardon 
tied  it  15  all.  The  teams  traded  points 
until  it  was  22  all;  then  Hopkins 
drove  home  eight  straight  points  to 
take  a  30  to  22  lead.  Again  Washing- 
ion  closed  the  gap  as  Jack  Bergen 
sparked  Ihe  team's  attack  with  three 
baskets  in  ihe  dying  miauies  of  the 
qu.»ricr.  Bob  Evans,  however,  enabled 
the  Jays  to.  capture  a  36-31  lead,  by 
buermission,  on  a  lasi  minute  shot- 

Eurly  in  the  third  period  Hopkins 
remained  in'stride  by  inaeasing  their 
lead  to  49-36.  The  Maroon  and  Black 
quiulet  then  wbitlled  the  lead  to 
wifliin  2  poinls.  52-50.  In  the  last  min- 
utes of  the  final  quarter,  however. 
Hopkins  again  out-shot  the  Shomen 
lo  win  66  to  GL

THE  WASHINGTON  ELM 


Student  Govt.  Reports — 


To  ihc  Snulcnt  Council: 

1  wish  to  clarify  ihc  view  of  ihc 
jdininistmlion  on  two  mauers  which 
were  loiichcti  upon  in  the  Elm  o( 
iliis  dnic.  In  both  insi.mccs  the  ad- 
niiaisiraiion  wishes  to  make  cleat 
lo  Ihc  siiidcni  body  what  anion  it  h; 
taken  and  proposes  lo  lake,  as  well 
as  ihc  reasons  for  the  aciion, 

1.  Ihc  reported  rcsnit  of  the  in- 
terview ahinil  Hie  piano  in  Hodson 
Hall  is  unfonunaic.  I  was  not  pres- 
ent at  the  interview,' However,  the 
request  ihat  somcihing  he  done  about 
the  piano  is  reasnnablc-  Unfortunate- 
Iv.  ilic  piano  is  in  its  present  condi- 
tion because  of  abusive  tiTatnient.  It 
was  completely  reiioi'aied  two  years 
ago,  but  had  dcicriorated  to  virtually 
its  present  state  in  six  months  or 
less.  1  cannot  make  it  loo  clear  lo 
you'ihai  Ihc  adniinisi ration  earnestly 
wishes  lo  make  your  life  here  coni- 
roriablc.  Dm  if  the  charges  for  col-, 
lege  attendance  were  raised  lo  the 
point  where  careless  and  sometimes 
wanton  damage  lo  furniture  and 
equipment  could  be  readily  paid  out 
of  college  income,  the  student^  would 
instantly  complain.  I  would  not  blame 
them  for  dfting  so.  Most  of  the  stu- 
dents arc  careful  of  college  property, 
realizing  ihat  it  is  entrusted  to  ihcm 
lo    use    wiihuui    abuse,    so    Uiat    olhcr 


cLisses  in  the  future  may  enjoy  its 
use.  A  careless  and  thoughtless  mi- 
nority causes   the  damage. 

Since  the  present  piano  in  Hodson 
Hall  is  beyond  repair,  the  only  course 
is  lo  replace  it.  Itut  the  administra- 
tion is  heavily  reluctant  lo  do  so  un- 
til it  has  some  assurance  that  it  will 
not  be  abused  to  the  point  of  di 
struclion  in  a  few  short  months. 

2.  Now  as  to  the  Snack  Bar.  The 
adminisiralion  recognizes  the  appar- 
ent suddeness  of  the  action  in  clos- 
ing al  njghts.  The  reason  is  financial, 
inadeijuate  results,  the  reasons  for 
which  we  arc  trying  to  discover.  I  re- 
fer not  simply  to  the  night  operation, 
but  the  over-all  operation.  The  Snack 
Bar  will  open  this  Sunday  night  and 
on  Sunday  nights  thereafter.  We  have 
arranged  for  an  e.xpcri  lo  study  ihe 
operation  of  the  Snack  Bar  to  detcr- 

le  the  answers  to  cciiain  quesiiou! 
about  it.  Wc  hope  he  will  have  recom- 
irndaiions  lo  make,  which  we  can 
follow  and  which  will  enable  us  to 
resume  operation  of  the  Snack  Bar 
every  evening.  Rut  that  remains  to  be 
seen.  .\l  any  rale,  we  are  taking 
sicps  to.  provide  information  we  need 

have  in  order  to  operate  efhcicnlly 

mgh  to  juslif)'  the  losses  on  week 
nights.

Set  Date  For 

Lincoln  Talks 

Beginning  on  April  29  in  Baltimore. 
Md.,  the  Hearst  Newspaper  syndicate 
will  sponsor  the  Lincoln  Oratorical 
Tournament,  a  series  of  speeches  by 
high  school  and  college  students  on 
the  subject  of  any  phase  of  Lincoln's 
life.  Winners  of  this  state  [ourna- 
menl  will  be  invited  to  attend  a  re- 
gional and,  finally,  a  national  touma- 
menr. 

Washington  has  had  a  good  show- 
ing in  (he  past,  said  Mrs.  Opgrande. 
head  of  the  speech  department.  She 
urged  all  those  who  wish  to  enter 
the  coiilcsi  to  get  full  information 
from  her  or  from  the  various  notices 
posted    around    the   campus. 


'Candida'  Critic  Lauds 
Gallo's,  Ayres'  Acting 


Literary  Society 
To  Give  Reading 
Of  "Richard  II" 

The  Mount  Vernon  Literary  Society 
will  sponsor  a  unique  Saint  Patrick's 
Day  program  on  Wednesday  evening. 
March  17,  when  a  cast  of  both  stu- 
dents and  facully  will  present  a  read- 
ing of  Shakespeare's  Richard  IL 

Mr.  Frederick  Meigs,  group  spokes- 
man, said  that  the  play  is  being  pro- 
duced as  an  experiment  which,  if  well 
received,  will  be  followed  by  other 
Shakespearean  presentations.  Infor- 
mality will  be  a  prominent  feature  of 
the  presentation,  he  said.  The  partici- 
pants will  read  from  a  standard  ie.\I 
wlthoui  acting  or  sccner>'  thus  making 
the  effectiveness  of  the  performance 
depend  entirely  upon  the  dramatic 
poetry. 

With  no  acting  or  scenery  id  assist 
in  holding  the  audience's  attention, 
it  was  necessary  lo  shorten  the  play- 
ing time  from  its  original  three  hours 
to  an  hour  and  a  quarter.  Mr.  Meigs, 
who  is  cutting  the  play,  said  he  has 
taken  care  to  presence  the  most  beau- 
tiful   and    moving    pas.sages. 

There  is  a  particular  advantage  in 
presenting  Richard  II  in  this  manner, 
Meigs  noted.  While  generally  regard- 
ed as  Ihe  greatest  chronical  play  of 
Shakespeare,  it  has  been  justly  crit- 
ifi/cd  as  being  a  rather  static  drama. 
\ccording  to  Meigs,  such  a  defect  will 
not  be  apparent  when  the  play  is 
only   read. 

The  principal  roles  will  be  read 
by  Mr.  Meigs  as  Richard,  Dean  Doyle 
as  Bolingbroke,  \fr.  James  as  John 
of  Gaunt,  Deac  Owings  as  the  Duke 
of  York,  Mr.  Henry  as  "banished 
-Norfolk",  and  Aldo  Gallo  as  the  nar- 
rator. Oihei-s  appearing  in  the  cast 
are  Barbara  Delaney,  Pete  Burbage, 
Bill  Stein,  Jack  Daniel,  Angus  Shan- 
non,  and    Dick    Nturra>.

Choir  Auction 
Pours  $251 
In  Robe  Fund 

Last  Thursday  the  Washington  Col- 
lege Choir  spon.sored  a  novel  assembly 
program.  .\s  part  of  their  fund  rais- 
ing campaign  for  choir  robes,  they 
held  an  auction,  wilh  Mr.  Harry 
Russell,  member  of  the  Board  of  Vis- 
itors and  Governors,  as  the  amusing 
and  capable  auctioneer.  The  articles 
up  for  sale  were  contributed  by  the 
administration,  facully  members,  and 
downtown  business  concerns.  Every 
thing  from  haircuts  and  sock-washing 
lo  orchids  and  dinners  went  on  the 
block  (even  a  case  of  beer).  Choii 
members  were  posted  in  the  aisles  to 
call  out  bids,  which  were  generally 
fast  and  furious.  The  choir  netted 
$231.00   in   the   venlure. 

The  Lambda  Chi's  bought  Mr. 
Hare's  hayride  to  Millington  for 
twenly  couples,  complete  with  tractors,

POORHODSON! 

How  many  c'diiorial>  have  been  written  about  Hodson  Hall: 
\VelI.  here's  one  inon-  to  add  to  the  list.  But  this  one  is  not  com- 
plaining about  the  food  for  a  change.  Therefore  it  will  not  be  : 
popular  editorial,  and  to  make  it  even  less  popular,  this  one  is  mn 
corned  about  the  recreation  room  in  the  bottom  of  Hodson  and  tin 
way  it  has  been  used  by  the  students. 

We  used  to  complain  that  Hodson  was  an  uncomfortably  pkur 
and  it  seemed  the  >tudents  were  bent  on  making  it  even  more  uii 
comfortable.  It  was  not  an  uncommon  thing  to  see  seven  or  eight 
pairs  of  dairy  white  bucks  resting  atop  the  tables  that  were  later 
used  for  study  or  cards^inconsidrratc  to  say  the  least.  In  the  proper 
season  Hodson  is  often  converted  into  an  indoor  snowballing  arena 
When  apples  are  given  out  after  lunch  on  Sunday,  there  are  always 
a  few  who  prefer  to  take  theirs  downstairs  and  throw  them  around 
instead  of  eating  them.  These  are  just  a  few  of  the  kindergarten 
antics  that  supposedly  adult  college  students  indulge  in. 

Now,  in  order  to  make  our  stay  here  at  college  more  enjoyable, 
Hodson  Hall's  recreation  room  is  being  redecorated.  The  Women's 
League  has  already  put  bright  curtains  in  repainted  the  chairs. 
They  have  tentative  plans  for  the  future  which  include  a  lounging 
section.  All  their  work  will  be  for  nought  unless  we  decide  to  im- 
prove our  manners  a  little,  be  more  considerate  of  fellow  students, 
and  use  Hodson  Hall  as  a  recreation  room  should  be  used.

WITH  FAINT  PRAISE 


by  T.  Potter  ITmbrage 
(This  may  or  may  not  be  the  last  of 
a  scries  of  articles  by  Mr.  I'mbrage. 
No  one  can   tell.) 

I  should  like  to  take  ibis  oppor- 
tunity  to  praise  the  Washington  Col- 
lege Choir.  I'ndcr  Ibe  inspired  di- 
rection of  Dr.  F^rank  Erk.  a  most 
versatile  man.  it  has  become  a  credit 
to  our  number.  The  choir  has 
cepted  a  number  of  engagements  to 
sing  at  Ihe  various  musical  centers 
of  Ihe  F.a,sl.  It  is  extremely  well 
manned — with  boys  as  well  as  girls — 
and  it  boasts  a  large  repertoire  of 
fine   music. 

Of  special  interest  to  the  cultivated 
ear  is  the  news  that  our  musical  or- 
ganization will  sing  for  Commence- 
ment a  delightfully  patriotic  anthem. 
"Ballad  for  -Americans",  which  will 
no  doubt  do  as  much  as  Hollywood 
has  lo  dispel  rhe  unpleasant  accusa- 
tion of  intellectual  and  artistic  medio- 
crity leveled  against  our  country  by 
many  of  our  international  friends.  In- 
deed, in  ^icw  of  its  faithful  portrayal 
of  our  great  country,  such  a  rousing 
number  might  even  convert  the  Puer- 
to Riians.  During  the  choir  trip  to 
Washington  this  semester,  I  am  sure 
ibe  organization  would  graciously  ac- 
lept  an  m\  itation  lu  sing  it  in  the 
House  of  Representative*,  whose  gal- 
lery has  lately  become  one  of  the 
""sbotiting"  variety.  Kven  the  Prc-si- 
dent.  who  will  hear  the  niimlKr 
anyway  in  the  Spring,  might  be  in- 
terested in  such  a  recital.  (Perhaps 
the  proper  contact  for  such  a  sug- 
gestion^— Ttic  Enterprise,  which  along 
with  Ihe  Baltimore  Sun  and  other 
newspapers  the  President  reads  every 
morning    at    breakfa.st. 

.-\s  I  ha\e  perhaps  implied,  the 
choice  of  such  a  number  is  indeed 
fortunate,  for  I  read  in  a  recent  copy 
■jf  Collicr'N  magazine  that  "Mr.  Eisen- 
hower is  responsive  lo  melody,  ihoiigh 
apt  to  begin  yawning  in  the  midst 
of  operatic  or  oiber  heavy  siuff."  The 
"Ballad  for  .\mcricans"  is  far  from 
"heavy  stuff,"  you  will  he  relieved  lo 
hear,  and  theie  is  much  trafbr  be- 
tween Broadway  and  ihe  Metropoli- 
tan. In  Ihe  ailicle.  also,  Colonel 
Schul/,  the  President's  military  aide, 
obsened  that  Mr.  Eisenhower  "sees 
the  Fred  Waring  show  when  he  can," 
(1)  "and  a  Straii.ss  wallz  will  set  him 
humming."  Whereas,  "Ballad  for 
Americans""  may  be  inGnitely  difficult 
lo  hum.  it  is  exceedingly  easy  to  speak! 

.\gain  tbp  siiitabiliiy  of  such  a  fine 


production  nitmbcr  as  "Ballad  Im 
Americans"  is  especially  evident.  The 
instrumental  acoompaniment  is  a 
masterpiece  of  syncopation,  admiralii\ 
suited  for  an  electronic  organ.  And, 
loo.  the  selection  is  not  wearily  long, 
enabling  the  audien<e  lo  concentrate 
on  Mr.  FLisenhower's  eloquence  and 
laried  facial  expressioii.s.  I  do  hope 
Mrs,  Eisenhower  will  be  able  to  at 
company  hcr  husband,  for.  accord- 
ing to  the  aforementioned  article,  slic 
"is  fond  of  mysteries  and  musicals" 
on  TV.  Iherc  arc  elements  of  both 
in    "Ballad    for   Americans."' 

Dr.  Randall  I  hompson's  "Alleluia." 
a  brilliant  choi-at  work  which  is  nei- 
erihelcs.s  inferior  lo  the  "Ballad,"  was 
to  have  been  sung  ibis  past  Fall  at 
the  expected  Eisenhower  visit.  How- 
ever, since  the  President  made  suro- 
mcr  plans  lo  forego  the  Fall  Convo 
cation  for  a  lalcr  June  appearame. 
it  was  quite  properly  thought  best 
to  dispense  wilb  Dr.  T hompson's 
work,  inasmuch  as  it  was  sung  at  the 
last  CoiiimenccmcTil.  Even  though  l)r 
Freeman,  who  spoke  at  Ihe  last  Com- 
mencement, is  no  longer  with  us  m 
be  jealous  about  it,  the  fact  remains 
that  it  is  quite  unpardonable  lo  sing 
Ihe  same  rhural  selection  for  two  con- 
secutive Commencements.  Pcrhnp^ 
the  choir  may  be  able  to  sing  "  M 
leluia"  if  and  when  .Mr.  Sicvensnn 
comes.  Perhaps  by  then  everylKnh 
will    be  singing  it. 

"Ballad  for  -American.s'  for  tin 
record  collector  may  be  bought  ji 
any  inciedibly  large  record  store,  wiili 
the  male  solo  taken  either  by  Bin« 
Cr*i.sbv  or  Paul  Robeson.  I  should 
lake  the  Robeson  disc,  if  1  were  you. 
for  despite  the  darky's  recent  politic-, 
he   sings   it    more  convincingly.

After  cvri7  major  sport  season,  such  as  football,  baseball,  or

itstanding.  1,  however,  am  not  going  to  commit  myself  to  nam- 
y  any  select  group  of  stars  during  the  basketball  season  that  has 
St  come  to  a  close.  Also,  I  have  too  many  yellow  sheets  and  blue 
loks  to  study  for  to  take  that  much  time  out.  Instead,  I  will  just 
ist  along  to  you  the  selection  of  a  group  of  men  who  should  be 
uch  better  able  to  choose  than  I — the  coaches  of  the  teams  in 
c  Mason-Dixon  Conference. 

Just  two  points  away  from  being  unanimous  choices  on  the 
II  M-D  team  were  American  U.'s  John  Selby  {not  to  be  confused 
1th  Furman's  Frank  Selvy  and  Jack  Sullivan  of  Mt.  St.  Mary's. 
ith  players  polled  twelve  out  of  a  possible  fourteen  points — 
■Iby  for  the  guard  position  and  Sullivan  for  forward.  Continuing 
ith  the  "S'"s,  Jimmy  Slaydon,  of  Hampdcn-Sidney,  took  honors 
:  the  other  guard.  The  league's  top  point  maker,  with  an  aver- 
se of  22.8  per  game,  Joel  Hittleman,  of  Loyola,  rated  tops  for 
\c  second  forward  post,  and  6'8"  Walt  Dierks,  who  was  tap-off 
an  for  Roanoke,  rounded  out  the  first  five. 

W.C.'s  Jumping  Jack  Bergen  .secured  one  of  the  forward  spots 
1  the  second  all-conference  team.  Sal  Angelo,  the  second  member 
Mt.  St.  Mary's  triple  threat  attack,  Bud  Daily,  of  American 
.,  John  Gira,  of  Roanoke,  and  Bridgcwater's  Jay  Tasch  were  the 
;hcrs  elected  to  the  second  team.  Bergen  was  the  only  player  of 
ic  two  squads  who.sc  team  did  not  get  into  the  conference  tourna- 
lent.  Both  Baltimore  U.,  one  of  the  highest  scoring  small  college: 
I  the  country,  and  Johns  Hopkins,  which  finished  strong  in  the 
ague,  failed  to  get  a  representative  on  the  top  five. 

Not  satisfied  with  just  an  Alt-Conference  team,  the  coache: 
so  picked  an  All-Tournament  squad.  Chosen  were  Hittleman.  Gira 
id  the  triple  threat  from  Emmitsburg,  Md.,  Mt.  St.  Mary's  trio  of 
iillivan,  Angelo.  and  Bill  Stanley,  who  were  the  deciding  factors 
I  the  Mounts'  winning  the  tournament. 

And  there,  very  quickly,  you  have  not  one,  but  two  All-Sta: 
lams,  and  I  still  have  time  to  work  on  a  term  paper.

\\'.Cs  athletic  program  is  in  the 
preparation  stage  for  its  busiest  sea- 
son of  the  school  year.  .Across 
Campus  .\venue  on  Kibler  Field  the 
lacros.sc.  track,  and  baseball  teams 
are  attracting  the  attention  of  the 
student  body  at  their  daily  practice 
sessions.  Out  not  to  be  outdone  nor 
overlooked  by  the  glamor  of  the 
drills  and  sniinmagcs  at  Kiblci  Field, 
the  Nfaroon  and  Black  tennis  lean 
is  valiantly  getting  into  shape  for  ihi 
opening  of  iis  sea.son  at  tlie  end  of 
this  month.  .\n  inspection  of  the 
courts  in  back  of  "Fnit  Row",  of  the

given  to  use,  will  explain  rhc  valiani- 
ness  oF  the  members  of  Ihc  team. 

This  year's  net  squad  dotsn'i  prom- 
ise to  ct>me  up  with  any  budding 
Jack  Kramer's  or  Frank  Scdgeman's. 
Back  from  last  year's  activity  are  Jer- 
ry Lainbdin,  who  will  captain  the 
team  this  year,  Lcs  Bell,  Stan  Kauf- 
man, and  "Howdy"  Davis.  Clint  Brad- 
way,  a  southpaw  who  last  year  was 
a  member  of  Salisbury  Stale  Teach- 
ers racketeers,  seems  like  the  early 
prospect  for  the  number  one  position. 
Two  upper  classmen,  John  Minnich 
and  Palmer  Hughes,  who  arc  coining 
onl  for  the  first  time,  have  been  very 
iniprcvsive  in  practice.  (Both  arc  i

Kibler  Eyes

Hopefuls 

For  the  past  two  weeks  the  hope- 
ful aspirants  for  the  Washington  Col- 
lege baseball  leam  have  been  going 
through  their  daily  louline  at  Kib- 
ler Field  under  ihe  watchful  eyes  ol 
Coach  Tom  Kibler  and  his  assistant, 
Coach  Ed  Athey.  Because  of  ihc  chil- 
ly weather,  activities  have  been  re- 
stricted 10  light  hitting  and  pitching 
drills. 

We  strolled  over  lo  Kibler  Field 
last  week  and  decided  lo  corner  Cxiach 
Kibler  and  ask  what  his  outlook  for 
the  coming  sea.son  was.  His  reply  was: 
■It's  loo  early  lo  tell  yet.  We  had 
;i  pretty  good  team  last  year  and  this 
years  squad  should  be  beiicT.  I'm  noi 
making   any    predictions,  old    man." 

Coach  Kibler  has  probably  express- 
ed his  outward  sentiments  in.  Ihal 
siatcmcnl  but  we  ran't  help  feeling 
that  inside  he  believes  that  this  year's 
team  is  potentially  one  oE  the  col- 
lege's best. 

l-'or  one  thing,  his  entire  pitching 
stalf  of  last  year  U  back  ,igain.  Both 
diminutive  Leo  GilHs  {-S-'Z)  and  Ron- 
nie Sisk  (3-3),  who  bore  the  bninl 
of  the  hurling  chores,  along  with  Bob 
Powell,  Bob  Sulliivan  and  Joo  Szyman- 
ski  will  he  back  to  form  the  nucleus 
of  ihe  pitching  cor|>s.  Two  freshmen, 
Harlan  (Bo)  Ijuichings  and  Tom 
Wells,  both  no-hii  sensations  in  ihcit 
respective  schools,  should  do  much 
toward  strengthening  ihc  pitching 
depart  incnt. 

The  graduation  of  John  Saniulli 
and  Danny  Sainele  left  two  big  pairs 
of  shoes  to  lie  hllcd  ai  third  base  and 
shortstop.  The  return  of  Steve  Mas- 
trianna  has  helped  solve  half  Ihe 
problem.  Maslrianna.  who  led  Ihe 
team  in  hitting  in  1951  with  JI3. 
will  probably  see  action  ai  first  base, 
with  Herman  Schmidt,  lasi  ycjir's 
first  baseman  and  leading  hitter  with 
.410,  being  .shifted  to  third  base. 
Botli  boys  should  give  llic  leam  ihose 
much  needed  base  hits  that  could 
have  turned  the  tide  in  a  few  games 
last  year.  Only  shortstop  presents 
the  biggest  problem.  Among  the  hope- 
fuls for  that  ■  position  arc  Barry 
Bums.  Chuck  King,  and  Mori  Len- 
naiie.  Captain  of  the  Sho'men  and 
veteran  Doug  Tilley  should  be  a  sure 
bei  to  open  the  season  ai  second,  hav- 
ing proved  himself  as  the  club's  only 
left-handed  baiter  with  a  1S>.'»3  swat 
average  of  .-102.  Other  prep  athletes 
seeking  infield  positions  arc  Sam 
Spirer.  Jim  I'Tombly.  Tom  Jacxibs, 
and  Chick   Haines.

Prosipects 

For  the  Freshman  Prospect  of  this 
week  I  have  selected  none  other  then 
that  like-able  Irishman  Joseph  James 
O'Mally.  One  of  the  most  common 
plaiCN  where  you  would  be  likelv  to 
find  Joe,  as  his  friends  call  him, 
would  be  on  a  basketball  court.  He 
is  one  of  the  starling  five  for  ihe  Ma- 
roon and  Black  J.\'.  leam  and  has  ac- 
cumulated a  6.00  game  aicragc.  Along 
with  his  other  talents.  Joe  was  a  mem- 
ber of  Coach  .■\ihcy's  soccer  -squad  last 
Fall.  ^Vith  only  three  more  games  i<i 
be  played  in  the  JA^  basketball  sche- 
dule Joe  is  turning  his  talents  to  the 
baseball  diamond  where  he  is  trying 
for  a  position  in  the  outfield.  Joe  was 
born  in  Wilkes  Barre,  Pa..  May  .'». 
X^'i'f.  and  moved  iti  Baltimore  when 
he  was  seven,  Ihcie  lie  attended 
.Southern  High  SchtKil  and  won  hi.> 
Varsity  Letter  in  Baseball.  He  also 
played  baskclball  and  was  a  mcmlurr 
of  Ihe  J.V.  wrestling  team.  His  suc- 
cess in  scholarship  has  continued 
from  high  school,  where  he  main- 
tained an  8'>%  average,  to  college, 
where  he  is  in  the  upper  half  of  his 
cla.vs  with  a  l.-l  index.  Joe  plans  lu 
major  in  .\ccouniing  and  with  the 
success  he's  displayed  in  the  pasi  he 
should  find  this  no  pniblem.  In  his 
spare  time  Joe  likis  to  listen  lo  pop- 
ular music  and  talk  about  Ihe  op- 
posite sex.  There's  a  big  future  li'r

Anyone 
For  Snipes? 

llic  age  old  art  t)f  Snipe  Hunting 
has  relumed  once  again  lo  ihc  Wash- 
ington College  campus.  Snipe  Hunt- 
ing, Ihc  favorite  spoit  of  kings  during 
the  Medieval  Ages,  ba$  Anallv  been 
brought  back  due  to  the  large  demand 
of  the  siudenl  ImkIn.  The  Snipe,  a 
bird  of  about  3lj  inches  which  hops 
along  the  ground,  bcLausc  of  its  clip- 
ped wings,  was  discovered  by  the  cmi- 
iiicnl  Prof.  .Mberi  QiiMnballs  while 
i>n  a  lield  trip  with  his  mother.  It  was 
a  higliK  popular  spoil  with  students 
but  '  ion  lost  ili  popularity  as  game 
laws  were  being  issued  on  ihe  Snipe. 
1  hLs  pasi  week  the  Wildlife  Protec- 
tion .\ssociaiion  has  declared  it  open 
scavm  on  Snipes,  and  so  far  the  wooils 
have  l>cen  crawling  wilh  Snipn.  At  the 
lime  ihis  article  was  going  lo  press 
a  bulletin  was  received  from  the  Wild 
life  Protection  .\sso^iaiion  saying  that 
Ihe  Snipe  season  will  close  March  12. 
Vi  grab  votir  Rashlighi  and  bag  and

iced  with  their  searching  avaminaiioii 
'i  ii    amvenlion    battling      against      in- 
■  liner. 

The  Players  made  their  production 
^vetting  by  taking  good  advantage 
of  the  dramatic  opporiunititrs  that 
Shaw  pn)vidcs  in  his  well-defined 
characters.  Bcity  .^yrcs,  in  ihc  lead, 
playcxl  a  hrm  and  malurc  Candida, 
imrulfled  by  the  male  oratory  around 
her,  alwa>s  romporscdiv  in  intellectual 
I  .mmand.  She  conveyed  a  »cnse  of 
•.ll<onfident  feminine  power  which 
•  III:  blended  with  a  consistent  genile- 
ni^is  and  temperance  in  crurial  scenes. 
1  he  charm,  humor,  and  scU-posscs- 
\i  >n  ih3i  she  projected  across  the 
fiioiiighis  furnished  the  aiiihortty 
without  which  thb  kind  of  C:andida 
M-Juld  be  totally  unconvincing.  Her 
playing  became  an  assenion  that  Shaw 
meant  to  uy  thai  woman's  percep- 
tion of  male  pietense  is  more  com- 
pjstioiiJle    ihan    cTuel. 

Ret  call  Irony 
Ja(t  Daniel  pic-scnicd  the  trxira- 
itidinaiily  difhculi  Reverend  Morell 
a^  a  x'fi.  indulgent,  raiher  pctulani 
fellow,  more  puzzled  than  angrv  at 
the  startling  discovery  that  life  is 
not  what  convention  sayi  it  is.  Jim 
Melcalf.  elected  to  depict  a  March- 
banks,  whose  worldly  failures  are 
rooted  in  physical  debility  and  peren- 
nial alxcnce  of  mind.  Hi{  reading 
rmpbai>i/ed  Shaw's  irony  in  presenting 
^f^Ichba^ks  as  the  man  whose  vbion 
it  iniiiitive  and  profound,  whose 
siretigih  u  real  because  it  it  inward 
and    is    founded    on      self-knowledge. 


Yet,  as  Mr.  Melcalf  made  il  graphical- 
ly clear.  Marchbanks  is  totally  with 
out  the  weapons  to  compete  for  the 
world's  favors  against  those  who  lack 
his  visioii  and  strength.  This  irony 
culminates  with  the  play  itself  when 
Candida  shows  that  she  fully  under- 
stands Marchbanks'  inner  superiority, 
concedes  him  the  moral  viciotv.  and 
then  awards  the  prize  of  her  own  pro- 
tection to  the  blind  and  conventional 
Morell.  In  his  wisdom  and  his  vision, 
she  implies.  .Marchbanks  has  his  own 
reward. 

By  iis  response  the  audience  left 
little  doubts  that  it  conferred  Ihe 
honors  ot  the  evening  on  .Aldo  Gal- 
lo.  playing  the  subordinate  role  of 
BurgcM.  Candida's  crusty,  sly.  and 
itpporiunisiic  father.  Mr.  Callo's  mas- 
ten  ot  liming  and  hLs  unerring  sense 
of  contrast  and  shift  in  mood  enabled 
him  Id  squeeze  the  last  drops  of  dra- 
matic effect  from  his  pari,  and  to 
make  beautifully  clear  what  Shaw 
iniendcd  in  it — a  kind  of  comic  coun- 
lerpoini,  echoing  in  Buigcss'  greasy 
prclcniiousness  the  grim  spiritual 
struggle  taking  place  before  his  un- 
seeing eves. 

Shoit-s   Weaknesses 

Soundly  conceived  and  solidly  re- 
hearsed, the  produciion  was  thorough- 
ly creditable,  lis  chief  weakness  was 
a  recurrent  slowness  of  pace,  most 
evidcni  in  the  opening  scenes  and 
in  Ihc  lasi  act.  In  thcise  sections  the 
performance  seemed  somciimca  to  la- 
bor a.s  if  determined  to  articulate  each 
line  wilh  the  maximum  clarily  and 
inicruiiy.  As  a  result  the  dramatic 
proportions  tvcre  occasionally  blur- 
red, the  wii  of  Shaw's  responses  ob- 
scuied,  and  the  (lashing  dialogue  re- 
tarded loo  much.  Mr.  Owings'  di- 
rection, which  was  otherwise  thought- 
ful and  visually  effective,  may  have 
been  to  hiamc  for  this  labored  quali- 
ty. Whaiciver  its  cause,  this  slow 
pace  .seemed  to  handicap  Barbara 
Townsend  and  Al  Condello,  who 
ncverihcless  played  Prossy  and  Lcxv 
with  iiiucrily  and,  feeling.  These 
Haws,  hoivetcr.  appeared  to  be  sins 
of  zeal  rather  than  o(  carelessness. 
The  enerRv  and  convitliim  of  the  cast 
brought  their  great  vehicle  hancLsomc- 
ly  to  life  and  well  compensated  two 
of  the  biggest  audicncct  the  Players 
have  drawn    in   recent   years.

as  ihcy  defeated  ihc  Sho'men  5.'i-.")l 
oil    the  loser's  court. 

Washington    College    got    off    to 
fast  Stan   by  grabbing  a   7-0  lead 
opening    minutes,    but    Ihc    Mount 
scored  J   straight   points   lo   close  the 
gap.      The    hrst    period    closed    wilh 
the  Cho'inen   leading  bv  a   13-8  score. 

The  Mountics  came  back  fast  in 
the  second  ciuartcr  with  baskets  by 
Bill  Stanley  and  Jack  Sullivan  to  make 
the  count  13-12  in  favor  of  the  Sho'- 
men. Captain  Bob  Appleby  carried 
the  fight  for  the  Sho'men  as  he  col- 
lecicd  three  baskets  in  ilie  first  halt. 
The  Sho'men  were  ouisccircd  12-9  in 
(he  second  pcrioil,  but  still  led  22-20 
ai   the  half. 

The  lanky  Mountain  Men  began 
to  find  their  range  and  a  hook  by 
.Angclo  tied  il  up  at  22  all.  Outside 
shots  by  Smith  and  Swaine  gave  the 
Mouniies  their  largest  lead  up  lo  that 
time.  26-22.  The  I'enns-Crovc  whiz. 
Chic  Haines,  dropped  one  in  from 
outside  to  cut  the  lead  to  2  points. 
Haines  then  stole  the  ball  lo  set  up 
another  basket  by  Rock  Kardon.  The 
Sho'  team  was  again  out.scored,  this 
imc,  19-12.  The  Mountaineers  led 
39-SJ   al    the  end  of  the  third  period. 

The  Mountics  jumped  off  to  a  fast 
start  with  a  basket  by  Dcmahuc.  Thev 
scored  again  on  a  lay-up  and  a 
foul  shot  to  lead  ■14-3I.  Hok  Kardon 
began  to  show  his  form  as  he  hit 
from  the  corner  for  two  points.  The 
Sho'  team  slowly  began  to  close  the 
gap,  but  the  time  ran  out  as  Mount 
iainl    Mary's    won,    S.')-51. 

The  loss  to  Mt.  St.  aMry's  brought 
he  team's  record  to  8  wins  againsi 
2  defeats.  In  league  competition  the 
Sho'men    held    a    7-10   record.

Next  fall  W.C.  will  institute  a  slightly  higher  system  of 
[standards  for  freshmen  admissions,  President  Gibson  said  recently. 
A  college  sets  its  requirements  in  accordance  with  its  supply  of 
propectivc  students.  Already  this  year,  the  Registrar's  Office  has 
had  700  inquiries  from  prospective  freshmen  and  parents  and 
has  received  almost  200  applications  for  admission. 

~" *  Here  at  W.C.  the  Director  of  Ad- 
missions, with  facnliy  approval,  dis- 
poses of  applications  by  I)  accepting 
applications  unconditionally,  2)  ac- 
cepting applications  on  the  basis  of 
entrance  examinations,  or  3)  reject- 
ing applications.

The  story  is  that  of  a  delightfully 
amusing,  slightly  impossible  situa- 
tion. "Harvey"  and  Elwood  arc  the 
main  disturbances  as  they  manage  to 
confuse  even  the  psychiatrist  and  upset 
their  friends  and  relatives  with  their 
antics.  Various  characters  enter  the 
scene  and  some  of  ihem  at  the  finale 
have  been  convinced  of  Harvey's  actu- 
al presence.

tically; yet,  under  the  new  require- 
ments, a  good  percentage  of  this  year's 
freshman  class  would  not  have  been 
admitted.  Dr.  Gibson   stated. 

This  change  in  requirements  has 
been  instituted  because  the  admin- 
istration wants  to  eliminate  the  high 
percentage  of  freshmen  who  flunk 
out  during  their  fii-st  year,  wishes  to 
bring  admission  standards  in  line 
with  present  academic  standards,  and 
believes  that  academic  proficiency  is 
the  basic  principle  of  college  life. 
Since  the  school  is  in  a  position  to 
raise  its  academic  standards,  it  should 
do  so,  he  said,  in  both  student  per- 
sonnel   and    faculty.

To  show  the  faculty's  altitude  on 
the  use  of  cuts,  the  directive  below 
was  issued   also: 

".-\l  a  meeting  of  the  faculty  on 
January  13,  the  following  directions 
were  given  to  the  Dean  of  the  Col-j

"The  number  of  class  absences  per- 
mitted to  a  student  shall  not  be  re-

"However,  such  incidents  as  ill-

"WHY  I  COULD  NEVER  BE  A  COMMtlNlST" 

As  most  of  you  know  by  now.  Walter  WinchcU  is  sponsoring 
a  ver>-  worthwhile  contest  for  a  very  worthwhile  cause — that  cause 
is  the  Damon  Runyan  Cancer  Fund. 

The  contest  is  simply  to  write,  in  fifty  words  or  less,  "WHY  I 
COULD  NEVER  BE  A  COMMUNIST".  Each  entry  must  be 
accompanied  by  one  dollar  to  be  donated  to  the  Cancer  Fund 
Letters  arc  to  be  sent  to  Box  80.  New  York  36,  New  York. 

And  if  you  win.  what  do  you  get?  Nothing,  my  friends,  hui 
a  6.500  dollar  Cadillac  convertible.  If  you  prefer  to  pass  up  the 
car,  Mr.  Winchell  will  give  you  the  cash  instead.  If  you  decid- 
to  take  the  Cadillac,  you  are  flown  to  Florida,  where  the  cjr 
awaits  you.  and  drive  it  home  yourself.  There  arc  also  numcrouv 
other  prizes:  a  sports  car.  tickets  to  Broadway  shows  and  big-time 
sporting  events,  vacations,  etc.  —  about  300  in  all.  Weekly  win- 
ners are  chosen  and  the  grand  winner  from  these.  Everyone  ij 
eligible  {except  Communists.  of  course)  and  Mr.  Winchell  is 
especially  interested  in  the  opinions  of  college  students. 

So  why  not  use  that  dollar  that  you'd  spend  for  cigarettes  or 
ice  cream  next  week — donate  it  to  a  good  cause.  Here's  your 
chance  to  air  some  of  those  pet  peeves  you  have  about  Cohimun- 
ism. 

That's  exactly  what  your  editor  did.  Out  of  a  great  many 
reasons  "why  I  could  never  be  a  CommuniVt",  this  is  the  one  that  hit 
closest  to  home: 

"WHY  I  COULD  NEVER  BE  A  COMMUNIST 
.  ,  .  because  Communism  reeks  of  "indoctrination",  a 
word  that  the  average  college  student  considers  an  insult 
to  his  intelligence.  We're  a  stubborn  lot — this  modem  gen- 
eration— we  hate  to  be  "told"  to  believe  a  thing;  we  like 
evaluating  and  choosing  for  ourselves.  Common  sense 
would  never  allow  us  to  "choose"  Communism. 

Going,  Going,  Real  Gone

It's  always  enjoyable  to  have  alum 
ni  come  back  To  the  hill,  but  nol 
many  ate  as  downright  fascinating 
as  one  recent  visitor — the  enthusias- 
tic auctioneer  for  the  choir  assembly, 
Mr.  Harr\'  Russell.  He  evoked  such 
a  barrage  of  comments  and  questions 
that  some  information  about  his 
activities    has    been    gathered    here. 

Mr.  Russell  entered  W.C.  in  1920 
and  went  "romping  through  the  four- 
year  course  in  only  six  short  yean." 
He  sa«  that  the  best  years  oE  his 
life    were    spent    as   a    freshman. 

When  Mr.  Russell  was  a  student 
he  was  a  member  of  Phi  Sigma  Phi — 
now  Theta  Chi.  He  was  quite  the 
athlete — earning  letters  in  football, 
basketball,  and  tennis.  He  was  also 
president  of  the  Varsity  Club.  Evi- 
dently Mr.  Russell  spent  a  busy  six 
years  participating  in  many  activi- 
ties. He  sened  as  business  manager 
and  president  of  the  Washington 
Players,  treasurer  of  the  Cotillion 
Ciub  (which  he  says  is  definitely 
lacking  now.)  While  he  was  editor 
of  the  Washington  Goll^iai)  it  was 
changed  from  a  monthly  to  a  hi 
weekly    paper. 

During  these  "good  old  days"  there 
was  no  Bird  (prohibition,  remember?) 
so  the  boys  made  weekly  journeys 
to  Nfassey  to  see  one  Jimmy  Torh — 
the  local   botrilegnrr. 

The  song  Mr.  Russell  sang  for  us 
at  the  auction  was  from  the  "Maroon 
and  Black  Review"  which  he  wrote 
and  directc<l  for  the  Vaniti,  Cluh- 
Hc  icIU  an  interesting  story  afeiut 
that  emtravagan/a— Mr.  Dumsch<.tt  as 
ticasuicr  «f  the  Varsity  Club  had 
charge  of  selling  tickets,  hot  after 
seeing  the  first  number,  rather  un- 
graciously walked  out.  When  asked 
qboui  ii.  our  wise  business  manager 
always  says  he   left    l>ccause  the  show 


demanded   their 

Since  graduation,  Mr.  Russell  has 
maintained  his  interest  in  the  col- 
lege and  is  one  of  our  most  active 
alumni.  He  has  been  a  member  of 
the  Executive  Committee  of  the  .Alum- 
ni Association  for  twenty  years,  and 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Visitors 
and  Governors  since  1W6.  His  major 
interest  li«  in  the  field  of  athletics 
and  he  is  now  serving  as  chairman 
of  the  Athletic  Council.  Mr.  Russell 
said  he'd  vcrv  much  like  lo  sec  W.C. 
have  a  football  team,  but  at  this 
time  it  Ls  hnanciallv  impossible.  But 
if  only  he  and  Mr.  Dumschott  would 
get  together  again,  it  seems  to  me 
that    something    could    be    arranged. 


OUT  OF 
MOUTHS— 

In  the  jears  to  loiiie.  when  we  l<xik 
back  on  our  careers  at  W.C.  the  mere 
mention  of  a  name  should  recall  to 
mind  a  whole  sentence.  Take  for  in- 
stance the  stimulus  "Dr.  Livingood" 
should  create  a  "conditioned  response" 
something  to  the  effect  of  "Well, 
here  we  go  off  on  another  tangent." 

Mr.  Henry  "brings  to  my  mind" 
what  was  said,  "during  the  course  of 
the  semesiah  ",  such  as  Dr.  Gibson 
and  "1  have  a  few  announcements  to 
make." 

Imagine  yourself  listening  in  on  a 
faculty  meeting  The  conversation 
should   sound   something   like    this: 

.Mr.  Mercer — "The  monsoons  ate 
upon  usl" 

MUs  Bradley— "Is  this  the  face  that 
launched  a   thotisand  ships?"' 

Dr.  RizCT— ".As  it  were,  be  that  as 
it    may."

Dear   Diary. 

Spring  vacation  is  over — now  there's 
a  good  one,  SPRING  vacation!  May- 
be in  .Alaska,  but   nol   here. 

Be  Ehat  as  it  may.  diary,  when  the 
twentieth  of  March  arrives,  the  hu- 
man heart  says  "'Spring  .is  here,  ho- 
huiu.   I   guess  ril   fall   in   love."' 

For  instance,  once  again  everybody 
is  congratulating  Claire  .... 

It  always  was  a  (luestion  as  to  ivhy 
Jack  Fredericks  relumed  to  WjLshing- 
ton  College,  hut  it  c^imc  lo  me  the 
other  day  when  I  heard  Eddie  Fish- 
er's   new    record,    "I    Need   a   Girl." 

Then  of  course,  some  people  as- 
sume that  "never  say  die"  atiiiiide. 
So  Bob  .Appleby  pinned  Lynn  Em. 
ory. 

Scrounging  around  for  a  quote  of 
the  week,  1  heard  this  one  last  Sun- 
day night  at  10:-15 — "  ....  and  we 
sat  shoulder  to  shouhler  in  the 
ies."  This  was  followed  by  a  very 
passionate  "'oooh." 

Incidently,  I  hope  they  huild  this 
new  girk'  donn  soon,  because  (he 
cin.scst  situation  is  becoming  acute 
around  here.  Some  people  are  even 
hant;ing  clothes  in  Hodson  Flatl.  Il 
was    a   cute   something  or   other. 

"i  he  faii-weallicr  boys  invented  a 
s:i\ing    while    in    Virginia,   which   ap- 


paveiuly  has  a  psychological  cllctt 
on  W.C.'s  star  center  fielder.  If  any- 
one wanis  to  know  what  it  is  ask 
"agile-ankle"    Bounds. 

There  arc  several  people  on  cam- 
pus who  are  in  deep  mourning — Ap- 
parently Mac  Hatch's  green-eyed  mon- 
ster had  a  premonition  of  the  final 
score  of  the  Navy  game  last  Satur- 
day, and  blew  its  brains  out  enroute 
to  .Annapolis.  Washington  College 
now  has  two  "All-American  Hitch 
hikers"  in  the  persons  of  Mr.  Hatch 
and  side-kick. 

Speaking  of  sports,  I  heard  one  stu- 
dent say  that  it's  a  good  thing  we 
don't  have  a  swinuning  team,  l)ccause 
they  probably  woultl  have  <lrowncd 
last  week-end  just  to  make  the  resulcs 
unanimous. 

Oh,  I  almost  forgot  ...  do  you 
.  remember  a  couple  »f  paragraphs 
back  when  I  was  talking  about  new 
records?  Well  here's  an  old  one  for 
you  as  related  to  the  recent  pinning 
of  Terry  Knill  by  Bill  Loevy— Ray 
Anthony's    "'.At    Last!" 

I  guess  it's  time  to  close  for  now, 
but  let  me  leave  this  parting  thought

Since  we've  been  dating  for  the

you  to  answer  a  certain  question  that 
has  preyed  on  my  mind  (?)  for  quite 
some  lime.  Please  take  me  seriously, 
and  do  not  regard  what  I  ask  you  as 
too  personal  to  answer.  Every  time  I 
see  you  standing  in  line  to  buy  our 
movie  tickets,  the  old  familiar  feel- 
ing rushes  over  me  and  I  want  lo  ask 
you.  but  my  ner\'e  always  fails  me 
at  the  last  moment.  As  you  read  this, 
picture  me  kneeling  before  you  and 
asking  that  which  I  want  to  know. 
I  beg  you  not  to  wonder  why  I've 
waited  this  long  to  pop  the  question, 
but  I  had  to  be  sure  vou  had  formed 
a  definite  opinicm  on  the  subject  so 
that  you  could  not  change  your  mind 
after  you  had  given  me  your  final 
answer  Please  be  truthful  when  you 
answer,  but  remember,  it  will  break 
my  heart  if  you  say  no.

e  it  back   to  the   In- 


Whrii  p(.>o|)lc   art'  discourapi'd  with 

licritagc,   you   often   hear   them   say, 

s".      But   after  watching   W.C.'s  varsity  exhibit   their  skills  in 

Indian  sport  of  lacrosse,  I  think  the  redinen  will  have  a  hard 
me  getting  it  back  from  us  palefaces.  {Editor's  note:  This  wa'^ 
rittcn  after  the  Kcnyon  game  but  before  the  Navy  game).  Scr- 
g  the  game  for  the  first  time  this  spring  has  convinced  me  of 
^t  In  Atlantic  City  we  kicked  the  Absegamis  out  before  they 
,d  .1  chance  to  teach  us  Eastern  (Jersey)  Shore-ites  the  game, 
therefore  lacrosse  is  unknown  in  that  area. 

In  this  new  day  and  age  when  attack  means  H  bombs  result- 
g  in  death  by  wholesale  numbers,  it  is  somewhat  relieving  to  see 
Hows  like  Bob  Lipsitz  and  George  Hesse  performing  the  non^ 
itiil  (I  think)  duties  of  attackmen,  using  as  their  weapons  theii 
icrosse  stick  and  abilities  to  accomplish  wholesale  numbers  of 
thletic  feats. 

Baltimore  seems  to  be  the  home  of  lacrosse  and  it  is  also  the 
on\c  of  Messrs.  Lipsitz  and  Hesse.  Bob  was  born  there  twenty- 
irce  years  ago.  Before  coming  to  W.G.  he  went  to  college  in 
altimore — City  College  (High  School),  that  is.  He  played  la- 
ro^sc  in  his  senior  year  there,  then  continued  to  play  for  the  four 
ears  he's  been  here.  In  his  freshman  year  he  was  on  the  second 

ng,  being  All-Amcrican  Ray  Wood's  replacement.  Lipsitz  mov- 
d  up  to  the  starting  line-up  the  next  year  to  fill  the  gap  left  by 
i'ond's  graduation  the  spring  before.  In  his  sophomore  year  he 
:ored  22  points  for  the  Sho'men  and  last  year  managed  to  get 
ball  into  the  opposition's  net  28  times.  In  recognition  of  his 
lellar  work  in  the  past  three  seasons  Bob  was  named  co-captain 
f  this   season's   squad.     His  graduation  this  year — he's  majoring 

■conomics — will  leave  a  big  gap  in  the  attack  to  be  tilled  next 

George    Hesse — a    Christmas   present    to  his   parents    (he   was 

1  December  23,    1933) — is  a  real  Southerner.    He  was  born  in 

South,  sings  "Dixie",  and  went  to  Southern  High  in  Baltimore 

re    he    played    lacrosse,    basketball,    and    football   for   the   Bull 

V     Now  in  his  junior  year  at  W.C-,  George  has  been  outstand 

ig  on  the  Maroon  and  Black  basketball  and  lacrosse  teams.    On 

he  hardwood  he  shares  the  guard  duties  with  Ronnie  Sisk,  and  is 

nainstay  of  the  mid-field  section  in  the  stick  game. 

Both  boys  are  members  of  Theta  Chi   (aren't  all  the  athletes 

)Xmcn?)  and  the  Varsity  Club.     They  were  at  their  best  against 

nyon  in  the  opening  game  of  this  season,  each  accounting  for 

1.1  goals.     The  stars  were  against  them  last  Saturday    (in  fact, 

■y  must  have  been  against  the  school),  but  they  are  bound  to 

lie   back    and    achieve   a    record    that  could   well   earn   at   least 

Ill-Conference  honors  for  them. 

'Vs  heap-big  Chief  Sitting  Scribe  would  say,  "Me  want-um  to 
ake-um  this  time-um  to  make  Athlete's  Feat  dance  big  Tribute 
)ance  in  honor  of  great  white  Maroon  and  Black  stickmen  Bob

Amen.

W.C.  Nine 
Trips  South 

S[KM(s  writers  jlioss  the  couuiry 
(excluding  the  Baltimore  scribes)  are 
of  the  concensus  that  the  New  York 
Yankees  arc  the  best  bet  to  take  the 
league  honors  again  this  year.  Like- 
wise, Washington  College  has  been 
tauted  to  be  the  favorite  in  the  Ma- 
son-Dixon lo<»p.  But  lo  date  the 
Yanks  have  been  wallowuig  around 
the  depths  of  the  Grapefruit  League 
and  after  last  week-end's  activity  the 
W.C.  nine  seems  to  be  following  suit. 

The  Sho'men  traveled  down  to  the 
sunny  South  to  hospitable  Virginia 
and  received  a  very  chilly,  unhospita- 
ble  welcome.  In  three  games  the  best 
\V.C.  could  do  was  lo  come  out  of  Ihe 
season's  opener  with  an  8-8  tic  against 
the  University  of  Virginia.  This  gv 
was  halted  by  cold  and  darkness 
ter  an  eleven  inning,  three  hour  tv 
ly  minuic  marathon  that  saw  Virginia 
getting  two  doubles,  two  homers, 
stealing  five  bases  on  balls,  and  com- 
mitting eight  errors.  It  was  almost 
a  battle  to  see  who  could  leave  the 
most  men  on  base,  with  Virginia 
stranding  17  on  the  sacks  and  W.C. 
11.  The  Sho'men's  fielding  in  this 
game  was  much  better  than  their 
poneni's,  with  only  one  error  against 
W.C.  but  I  heir  batters  were  able 
to  get  only  one  extra  base  hit,  a  dou- 
ble by  Irosh  first  sacker  Lou  Borbely, 
and  were  ouihit  12  to  8.  Coach  Kib- 
ler started  Dean  W<md.  who  gave  up 
four  runs  in  the  first  five  innings 
and  ihrn  gave  way  to  Joe  Szymanski 
in  a  three  run  uprising  in  the  sixth 
In  the  Tn-st  half  of  the  sixth  innipg 
the  Sho'men  had  their  biggest  inning 
of  Ihe  trip  when  they  [allied 
runs.  .Another  ^V-C.  run  in  the 
enth  tied  the  game  and  in  Ihe  ( 
enih  the  Shore  nine  took  a  one 
lead  only  to  he  tied  in  the  home  half 


>f  the  i 


nmg. 


The  team  then  journeyed  (o  Lyndi- 
burg  where  a  free  ticket  in  the  bot- 
tom of  the  ninth  walked  the  winning 
run  across  for  Lynchburg  as  W.C. 
lost  its  fii-st  Conference  game  of  the 
season,  3-2.  Leo  Gillis  went  the  route 
for  the  Kiblermen  and  allowed  only 
five  hits.  The  Fink  tired  in  the  ni 
and,  after  allowing  Lynchburg  to  fill 
the  bases,  gave  up  his  sixth  walk  to 
force  in  the  winning  run.  Barry 
Burns,  Herm  Schmidt,  and  Tonuny 
Bounds  collected   Ihe  only  Sho'   hits. 

The  following  day  will  probably  be 
remembered  as  Black  Saturday 
athletics  at  W.C.  While  the  lacrosse 
team  was  being  shutout  by  Navy,  the 
baseball  nine  was  being  undermined 
25-5  by  a  hard-hiiting  Virginia  Mili- 
lai-y  Institute  squad.  The  Martx>n 
and  Black  had  one  of  those  days  that 
any  team  is  bound  to  have  ot  one  time 
or  another.  Washington  fielders  hob- 
bled the  ball  for  twelve  errors,  the 
pitchers  walked  seventeen  while  strik- 
ing out  only  four,  and  the  batters 
could  iK)tnid  out  only  six  hits  (seven

The  Cardinals  showed  great  strength 
in  the  singles  column  by  being 
torious  in  five  of  the  six  sets.  Les  Bell 
was  the  only  W.C.  neiter  lo  w=.i 
set.  Hal  Freeman,  outstanding  bas- 
ketball player,  is  also  the  top  Cardi- 
nal netter,  having  defeated  Clinton

the  opening  match. 

This  year's  tennis  team  is  much 
improved  over  last  year's  team  which

Shelly  Bader.  Jerry  Lambdin  is  this 
year's    captain. 

The  Sho'men  are  confident  that 
ihis'll  be  the  year  to  beat  Catholic 
U.  and  end  the  Cardinals'  reign  as 
M-D  champs.  The  oi-der  of  players 
this  year  is;  Bradway  1.  Les  Bell  2,

Palmer  Hughes  5,  Stan  Kaufman  6. 
Howdy  Davis  and  Shelly  Bader  play

ngion  College's  hit-starved 
baseball  team  will  open  the  home 
;oday  when  they  tangle  with 
n  University  al  Kibler  Field 
in  the  .season's  first  twin  bill.  The 
Kiblermen  will  also  be  after  their 
first   win  of  the  season. 

.Absent  from  the  schedule  last  year, 
the  visitors  will  be  out  to  settle  ac- 
ounts  From  Ihc  double  .setback  at  the 
lands  of  the  locals  in  I9."i2.  That 
ear  W.C.  traveled  to  the  Capitol 
City  and  look  iKiih  ends  of  a  double 
header,   6-3    and    8-3. 

Coach  Kibler's  charges,  whose  record 
to  date  stands  at  two  losses  and  one 
tie,  have  been  having  trouble  picking 
up  those  much  needed  base  hits.  In 
108  trips  to  the  plate,  the  Sho'men 
can  show  only  15  safeties,  and  only 
one  of  these  being  good  for  an  extra- 
base  hit.  Freshmen  Lou  Borbely  and 
Barry  Burns  and  veteran  Doug  Tilley 
have  been  hitting  ihe  ball  well.  This 
trio  has  accounted  for  9  of  the  club's 
13   safeties. 

It  is  doubtful  whether  Borbely  will- 
sec  action  this  afternoon  as  he  suf- 
fered a  severely  sprained  ankle  slid- 
ing into  second  in  the  Lyncliburg- 
W.C.  game. 

Coach  Kibler,  who  has  made  more 
shifts  since  the  season  opened  than 
the  Notre  Dame  football  team,  is 
determined  lo  come  up  with  a  win- 
ning combination.  Throughout  the 
southern  trip,  everyone  was  given  a 
chance  lo  sec  duty.  Today's  starting 
lineup  should  find  either  Bob  Jones 
or  Vic  Collier  behind  the  plate,  Steve 
Mastrianna  at  fust,  Tilley  at  second, 
Herm  Schmidt  al  third  and  Barry 
Burns  rounding  out  the  infield  at 
shortstop.  The  outfield  will  probably 
consist  of  Rod  ^Vare  in  left.  Tommy 
Bounds  in  center,  and  Roger  Smoot 
patrolling  right  field.  Kibler  will  call 
on  one  of  his  two  aces,  Leo  Gillis  or 
Ronnie    Sisk.    to  start    ou    the   hill. 


struck  out).  At  the  same  time,  V.M.I. 
wiis  punimeling  the  ball  for  fourteen 
biugles.  including  two  doubles,  a 
triple,  and  two  homers — each  homer 
coming  with  the  bases  loaded.  Ron- 
nie Sisk,  last  year's  mound  ace  for  the 
Sho',  started,  but  lasted  only  three 
innings,  giving  up  eleven  runs  and 
eight  hits  in  that  time.  He  was  fol- 
lowed, in  order,  by  Bob  Sullivan,  Joe 
Szymanski,  and  Tom  Well.  "Phizz" 
Szymanski  was  the  most  effective 
pitcher  for  Coach  Kibler.  giving  up 
no  hits  and  one  walk  in  the  one  in- 
ning he  pitched,  the  only  inning  in 
which    the    Keydets    failed    to   score. 

Barry  Burns,  freshman  shortstop, 
who  won  quite  a  reputation  for  him- 
self in  Baltimore  while  playing  high 
school  and  independent  ball,  lead  the 
'cam  in  hitting  with  five  for  thriteen 
for  a  .385  average.  Borbely  went  two 
far  four  in  the  opening  game.  The 
team  suffered  a  severe  blow  when  Ihc 
first  baseman  badly  sprained  his  ankle 
early  in  the  scomd  game  and  will  be 
unable  to  play  for  some  time.  Steve 
Maslrianni,  who  had  been  palroling 
right  field  at  Ihe  time,  took  over  at 
the  initial  sack.  The  only  other  hil- 
ler  to  get  more  than  one  hit  was  sec- 
ond bagger  and  captain  Tilley,  who 
has  two  hits  in  nine  trips  to  the  plate. 


Stickmen  Top 
Kenyon  In 
Opener,  12-6 

.\i  3  p.m.  last  Tuesday,  March  30. 
an  eager  crowd  decked  the  stands  of 
Kibler  Field  as  Coach  Charlie  Clark's 
Nfaroon  and  Black  opened  the  season 
with  a  12-6  win  over  Kenyon  College 
of  Gambicr,  Ohio. 

During  the  first  quarter,  while  Ken- 
yon was  unable  to  gel  started,  Wash- 
ington tallied  five  goals  on  the  ex- 
plosive attack  of  captain  Bob  Lipsitz, 
George  Hesse  and  Mick  DiMaggio. 
Late  in  the  second  quarter  Kenyon 
tallied  for  its  only  half-time  score 
while  the  Sho'men  added  five  of  their 
own  to  take  a  10-1  lead.  In  the  third 
quarter  another  Kenyon  shot  slipped 
by  goalie  John  Parks,  while  the  Sho'- 
men also  tallied  twice.  In  the  fourth 
quarter  Kenyon,  fighiing  to  the  final 
second,  retaliated  with  five  more 
goals,  which  were  not  enough,  how- 
ever, as  the  game  ended  12-6. 

Starting  for  Washington  were  Bob 
Appleby,  George  Hes.se,  and  Mickey 
DiMaggio  al  midficid;  John  Howard. 
Bob  Lipsitz,  and  Jack  Lamon  on  at- 
tack; Dick  Wcller,  "Mule'  Jennings, 
and  Bill  Banictt  on  defense;  and  John 
Parker  in  the  goal.  Also  playing  were 
Dick  Cain,  Dick  Norris,  John  Schie- 
blc.  Bill  Parks,  "Mouse"  Bair.  Bob 
Campbell,  Jack  Bergen,  Ken  Bourn. 
Stan  Goldstein.  Bnnky  Ford,  Pcie  Bar- 
tow, Bill  Clark,  Berkey  Kenny,  and 
John    Kruse. 

The  scoring  was  divide<l  evenly 
among  George  Hesse,  Bob  Lipsitz. 
John  Howard,  and  Mickey  DiMaggio, 
who  got  two  goals  each:  Bunkey  Ford 
and  Boh  Appleby  scored  the  remain- 
ing  two.

.\s  teams  and  players  don't  "Just 
happen"  but  arc  linked  from  year  to 
year  in  tradition  and  spirit,  let's  re- 
call— wiih  track  season  upon  us— the 
track  team  of  I9,"i0  and  four  out- 
standing siai-s — John  Twilley,  Ken 
Howard,  Larry  Brandenbcrg,  and 
Mick  Hubbard — who  sparked  Ihc 
Sho'men  through  a  successful  season 
to  capture  the  M-D  crown. 

Early  in  March  Coach  Athey's  thin- 
clads  surprised  everyone  by  winning 
a  n  on -con  fere  nee,  indoor  relay  event 
ai  Chapel  Hill,  N.C. — irimming  Navy 
Georgia  Tech,  Tennessee,  and  Georgit 
— in  three  minutes  29.3  seconds 
Though  Howard,  flrandenhurg,  and 
Twilley  trailed  Navy  in  the  third 
leg.  Hubbard  kicked  by  Roab,  of  ihe 
Middies,  in  the  fourth,  ic»  cam  lirsi 
place. 

The  Sho'men  opened  the  seasort  by 
defeating  Catholic  U. — a  coniest  iu 
whicji  Larry  Brandenburg  broke  a 
Kibler  field  record  by  taking  the  440 
in  'il.3  seconds,  with  Twilley  and 
Hubbard  close  behind.  .-Vt  the  Penn 
Relays,  April  28  and  29,  ihe  Sho'men 
placed  third  on  the  28,  behind  .Alfred 
and  Johns  Hopkins:  and  first  on  the 
following  day,  wirh  Howai-d.  Twilley, 
Hubbard,  and  Brandenburg  running 
in  ihal  order  for  \Vashington. 

Though  they  bowed  to  West  Ches- 
ter Teachers,  80-51.  the  Sho'men  went 
on  to  capture  the  M-D  championship 
meet,  held  at  Catholic  U.  Stadium  in 
May,  by  a  28  point  margin  over  run- 
ner-up Bridgcwater  College.  Ken  How- 
ard raked  in  14  of  Washington's 
63'/2  points.  Mick  Hubbard  gathered 
in  1 1  before  pulling  a  thigh  muscle 
the  220  which  cost  him  fir^l  place. 
Jim  Twilley  look  third  in  the  880 
lo  add  3  points  to  ihe  cause:  and,

Thin  clads  Prep 
For  2nd  Meet 

The  cinders  have  been  flying  at 
Kibler  Field  lately  and  it's  no  wonder. 
Coach  Emci^m  Smith  has  been  niii- 
niiig  his  Ihinclads  Ihrongli  their  daily 
workouts  iu  prcparaiioa  for  Roanoke 
on    April    13lh. 

\\'ith  only  three  leltermen  return. 
ing  from  la.st  year,  Coach  Smith  has 
his  work  cul  out.  The  squad,  wiiich 
is  composed  mostly  of  freshmen,  has 
been  working  out  regularly  and  re. 
cenily  had  an  inlcrsquad  meet,  the 
results  of  which  pleased  Coach  Smith. 
Standouts  so  far  have  been  Stu 
Young,  Coach  Smith's  pixxligy  from 
high  school  days,  and  durable  Lew 
Buckley.  Young,  who  will  compete 
in  both  Ihc  100  yard  dash  and  the 
220.  was  luiored  by  the  local  coach 
during  his  four  years  at  Easton  High 
School.  Stu  still  holds  the  high  schwil 
record  for  the  100  yard  dash  in  Mary- 
land, having  clipped  off  the  distance 
in  10.4  seconds.  Buckley  is  no  new- 
comer lo  cinder  fans  as  he  excelled 
himself  during  cix>ss.counlry  season. 
He  should  be  the  outstanding  iniler 
in  and  out  of  Ihe  Mason.Dixon  Con. 
ference   this   year. 

Other  hopefuls  trying  lo  land  a 
starling  job  include  Hemic  Thomas 
pole  vault:  Rod  Ware  and 
Bob  Pcnkeihmau  in  the  broad  jump: 
Jack  Bergen  in  the  shot  pui;  Jack 
Fredericks  in  the  discus;  Bill  Warner 
and  King  Merriti  in  the  quarter  and 
half  mile  and  Hank  Mazurski  and 
George  Stanton.  Two  freshmen.  Tom  I 
Darcey  and  Terry  Johiison,  will  vie 
Ihe  hurdles. 

The  squad   appears   lo   be  well    bal- 

iced    and"  with    a    little    experience, 

ihe  locals  should  do  much  toward  im- 

lasl    vcn's   2-11    record.

ington College  Club  should  be  direci- 
cil  toward  the  rc-eleclion  of  McKcldin, 
Ihe  present  governmeni  of  Maryland, 
His  victory  over  Mr,  Byrd  would  cer- 
lainly  be  a  great  gain  for  ihe  Repub- 
lican Parly..  This  group  can  help  by 
changing  registration,  raising  funds, 
and  working  at  Ihe  polls.

She  'Stoops  To  Conquer 


Editor's  Note:  One  of  W.C.'s  most 
inicresling  and  best  received  as.sem- 
blies  of  Ihe  year  was  Dick  McGown's 
informal  lalk  on  the  ancient  art  of 
falconry.  The  following  article,  "She 
Sloops'  to  Conquer",  by  James  A. 
I'lood,  was  taken  from  Ihc  Baltimore 
Sun: 

AVinging  high  on  broad  wings,  Ihc 
peregrine  falcon  caught  sight  of  ihe 
|>igeon  released  by  the  falconer  below. 

Immediately  she  swooped  down, 
fieiic  eyes  intent  on  her  prey.  The 
gap  between  the  two  birds  rapidly 
lell  away  as  Ihc  falcon  hurllcd  on. 


A  flash  of  talons,  a  sudden  impact, 
and  a  burst  of  pigeon  feathers  marked 
the  end  of  a  successful  "stoop,"  the 
name  given  by  falconers  to  this  awe- 
some display  of  a  falcon's  dive  to- 
ward its  prey- 

For  this  "sloop,"  and  the  pleasures 
which  come  with  training  a  beautiful, 
fierce  bird,  less  than  100  persos  in 
the  country  arc  now  regularly  follow- 
ing the  ancient  sport  of  falconry,  a 
sport  recorded  by  written  data  .H,200 
ycai-s  ago  and  probably  much  older 
than  that. 

One  of  this  small  band  of  falconers 


lives  in  Chesieriown.  He  is  Dick  Mc- 
Cown,  28,  who  is  an  insurance  brok- 
er. E.xcept  for  periods  in  the  Marines 
during  World  War  II  and  the  Korean 
War,  he  has  been  a  falconer  since  he 
was  7. 

They  Found  A  Nest 

His  aitraciivc  wife,  Joan,  fortunate- 
ly is  also  interested  in  falconry.  And 
the  older  of  the  couple's  Iwo  children, 
Sally,  3,  alfcctionaiely  calls  ihe  fierce 
falcon  "Hawky-Bird"  and  enjoyi 
watching  her  fly. 

Dick  was  born  in  Philadelphia.  One 
day   his   older   brother  John,   with   a 


couple  of  friends,  found  a  falcon' 
nest  on  a  Jersey  cliff.  Three  young 
birds   were  in   it. 

The  boys  excitedly  brought 
birds  home.  They  wanted  to  keep 
ihera,  so  Mr.  McCowu  got  in  tondi 
with  Ihc  Philadelphia  Zoo  for  advice 
and  the  zoo  referred  him  lo  a  young 
falconer   Ihen   going   to   college. 

In    this    way    the    details,    lore 
love   of    falconry    were   passed   on    lo 
John    and    through  John    lo  Dick 

Falcons.  Dick  explains,  are  members 
of    Ihe    hawk    family,    hut    wi

Speed  on  the  slraighl-a^vay, 

Pride  in  llic  right  of  way — 

Two  good  ways  to  gel  into  trouble 

Tho  year  1953  saw  mon-  than  two  million  i-asualtics — the  wor^ 
automobile  accident  toll  in  ihc  nation's  history — recorded  on  mi 
streets  and  highways.  This  shocking  record  stts  the  year  a-iid.  .< 
a  shameful  one. 

Even  worse — except  in  a  few  cases  where  tlinughtful  pcnpli 
are  very  much  concerned  about  this  mobile  slaughter — the  totals 
were  recorded  without  many  of  us  realizing  what  was  happening 

The  Travelers  Insurance  Companies  of  Hartford.  Connecticut, 
report  38.  500  people  killed  and  2,140.000  injured  in  1953.  Traffic 
deaths  increased     900  and  injuries  jumped  "lO.OOO  over  1952. 

The  lessons  to  be  gained  from  previous  statistics  continued  un- 
heeded in  1953.  Excessive  speed  was  the  movt  dangerous  driving 
mistake  again  last  year.  Speed  killed  13,870  persons  and  injured 
600.000.  Three  out  of  four  auto  accidents  happened  to  pa.ssenger 
cars  driving  in  clear  weather  on  diy  roads,  and  80  per  cent  of  ve- 
hicles invoh-ed  in  fatal  accidents  were  traveling  straight  ahead.  The 
death  toll  increased  for  the  fourth  consecutive  year. 

There  are  hundreds  of  splendid  safety  organizations  in  this 
country-  dedicated  to  safety  education.  Many  insurance  firms  make 
major  efforts  in  this  direction  at  considerable  expense.  In  hundreds 
of  communities,  civic  clubs  have  taken  on  the  job  of  >prcading  safe- 
ty information  and  education.  State  and  comnumity  authorities 
have  spent  millions  of  dollars  in  an  effort  to  provide  safer  and  better 
roads  and"  highways.  Driver  training  programs  at  all  age  levels 
are  aimed  toward  safer  and  saner  driving. 

State,  County.  Local  and  Parkway  Police  are  constantly  pa- 
trolling streets  and  highways.  More  and  better  engineered  thru- 
way  are  coming  ofT  the  drawing  boards.  It  appear  to  us  that  al- 
most everyone  is  concerned  with  this  needless  slaughter  and  its 
accompanying  waste  of  human  and  property  values. 

Almost  everyone,  that  is,  but  the  drivers. 

The  problem  starts  and  could  ideally  end  with  the  drivers.  Who 
are  the  drivers? 

Each  one  of  us  knows  the  answer  to  that  question.  Let  each 
one  of  us  ponder  these  latest  grim  figures  and  then  determine  a 
proper  and  safer  and  saner  course  of  action. 

Practically  all  of  us  look  forward  to  the  week-end  as  a  time 
for  rest  and  plcasuR-.  We  can  catch  up  on  our  golf  game,  soak  up 
a  little  sunshine,  or  play  cards.  It's  the  time  for  going  to  church, 
watching  television,  hstcning  to  the  ball  game  or  playing  off  that 
ienni>  match. 

TTie  week-end--  arc  all  of  those  thing-; — except  on  the  highways. 
In  1953.  15,800  persons  were  killed  and  800.000  were  injured  in 
week-end  accidents,  according  to  figures  compiled  and  recently  re- 
leased by  The  Travelers  Insurance  Companies.  Forty-one  per  cent 
of  the  deaths  and  36  per  cent  of  the  injuries  were  recorded  on  Sat- 
urdays and  Sundays  in  1953. 

Saturday  continued  to  be  the  most  dangerous  day  of  the  week. 
One  reason  is  that  more  cars  arc  in  use  Saturday  than  on  any  week- 
day. There  is  another  distinguished  feature  which  sets  this  day 
apart  from  the  others.  For  too  many  people,  Saturday  night  is  a 
time  when  drinking  and  driving  combine.  No  one  knows  exactly 
how-  many  traffic  accidents  are  caused  by  drinking  drivers  but  every- 
one knows  it  is  a  major  problem.  Everyone  needs  to  know  that  even 
one  drink  before  driving  is  too  many. 

Week-ends  indeed  arc  a  time  of  rest.  For  too  many  they  arc 
the  beginning  of  permanent  rest. 

Remember: 

1  killed  every  14  minutes 

I  injured  every  15  seconds

It    with    Ihc    two    irapivcs    we    find 

L-  have  more  than  enough   room. 

Uncle  I'cler  was  on  the  new  quiz

and  lost  Ihe  trip.  Wc  were  very  glad

Coadi  \1  Hanifee  is  looking  to 
another  successful  softhall  season.  The 
team,  headed  by  such  returning  stars 
as  Dick  Weller,  John  Parker,  and

contender  for  the  league  crown.  New-

will   add   much   to   the  club.

ing to  have  their  customary  party  be-

sorely  needed  pitchers  in  Rog  Kin- 
hart  and  Don   Messenger. 

Ilie  only  tonstruciive  bit  of  work

"Way  to  go,  Babe!  That's  the  way  to  strike  him  out,  Big  'R'!" 
This  isn't  an  article  about  "Babe",  whoever  he  might  be.  But 
s  about  the  "Big  R" — Ronald  C.  Sisk. 

The  above  comments  have  been  heard  quite  frequently  rccent- 
whcn  the  jiride  of  Allegany  High  School  and  Cumberland,  Md., 
s  been  on  the  mound  for  Coach  Kiblcr,  In  his  last  eighteen 
iiings  of  pitching,  the  Robin  Roberts  of  W.C.  has  struck  out 
,'clve  batters  (he  walked  only  five  during  that  span). 

Baseball  is  just  one  of  three  sports  in  ^vhich  Ronnie  excels.  At 
llcgany  High  he  was  a  member  of  the  varsity  baseball,  basketball, 
id  football  squads.  He  was  named  to  the  All-Maryland  football 
en,  the  All-City  grid  team  (fo  rthree  consecutive  years)  and 
?ral  other  all-star  groups  that  were  announced  in  the  Cumbcr- 
nd  area.  At  W.C.  he  has  turned  in  two  stellar  seasons  as  set-shot 
rtlst  from  the  guard  position  on  the  court  five,  and  after  a  3-3 
cord  last  year,  is  expected  to  be  the  ace  of  the  mound  staff  on 
s  year's  diamond  squad.  After  getting  off  to  a  shaky  start  in 
■  Virginia  game,  he  has  turned  in  two  brilliant  pcrformanres, 
irling  one-hit  and  three-hit  shut-outs.  Last  fall  he  was  the 
)it;-gun"  for  Thcta  Chi's  football  team,  displaying  his  all-star  abil- 
■s  at  the  quarterback  slot. 

Ronnie  gives  much  of  the  credit  for  his  success  to  the  line 
idance  of  Coach  Kibler  and  pitching  coach  "Curly"  Ogden.  The 
ig  R"  estimates  Kibler  to  be  the  best  coach  under  whom  he  ha; 
vi'd. 

On  the  scholastic  side  he  is  majoring  in  Economics.  Beside: 
rning  about  economics  In  the  business  world  from  Mr.  Johnson, 
B  seems  to  be  applying  some  economic  principles  of  liis  own  in  the 
icball  world — that  a  number  of  strikeout  victims,  and  allowing 
■\'  few  walks  and  hits  will  produce  a  maximum  number  of  win.s.

W.C.  basketball  fans  who  ivil 
watch  the  Fort  Wayne  Pistons  ir 
any  of  their  Natioii.il  Basketball  As 
sociation  or  exhibition  games  ncxi 
year  will  recognise  a  familiar  figure 
on  Fort  Wayne's  bench.  The  Pistons, 
one  of  the  top  pro  teams  in 
cuuiUry,  this  week  announced 
signing  of  Charlie  Eckman  as  their 
manager  lor  the  next  three  years. 
Eckman  is  well  known  around  Ihe 
campus,  having  refcreed  many  of  the 
Maroon  and  Black  games  in  the  Ches- 
tcrtown  High  School  g)m  during  the 
past   two  court  seasons. 

Fckman,  one  of  Ihe  best  and  most 
popular  basketball  referees  in  the 
country,  will  bo  practically  a  new- 
comer to  the  ranks  of  coaches.  A 
graduate  of  City  College  High  School 
in  Baltimore  ,lic  lias  devoted  all  of 
his  lime  to  referecing  basketball  and 
baseball  tilts.  He  began  his  career 
handling  independent  league  games  in 
New  York,  moving  up  to  olTiciating 
in  high  school  games.  Presently  a  res- 
ident of  Ilarundalc,  a  suburii  of  Bal- 
timore, he  has  become  well  known  on 
both  shores  where  he  has  been  busy 
olliciaiiiig  for  both  high  school  and 
college  games.  He  has  been  one  of 
the  most  active  oflicials  in  the  coun- 
try, having  been  called  upon  to  refe- 
ree for  the  N.B.A.,  the  Harlem  Globe- 
trotters, and  many  of  the  top  college 
tournaments,  tn  fact,  there  is  hardly 
a  major  tournament  for  which  lie  has 
not  officiated.  His  only  previous  ex- 
perience as  a   mentor  was  during  his

The  fans  will  miss  Eckntan  on  the 
court.  He  won  his  reputation  by  his 
fine  and  accurate  calling  of  the  game, 
and  for  living  up  to  his  belief  that  the 
gloi-)  of  the  game  should  be  left  to 
the  players  and  should  not  be  stolen 
by  an  over-acting  umpire. 


The  yellow  perch  is  like  a  minia- 
ture walleye,  only  prettier  and  more 
flavorsome.  It  will  take  a  small 
streamer  and  puts  up  a  fmc  fight  for 
its  size  which  can  run  up  to  several 
pounds.

it displayed  by  the  students,  faculty

cates that  >vith  the  continuation  of 
your  loyal  supi>ort  and  the  brand  of

Wolfpack 
Tops  Sho'men 

WasliingKiii  College  Slickiucn  suf- 
fered their  second  collegiate  loss  of 
the  1954  lacrosse  oiuipuign,  10-4,  at  the 
hands  of  Mount  Washington,  previous 
National  Lacrosse  Club  Champions. 

Following  this  defeat,  the  Sho'mcn's 
ovei'all  record  now  stands  at  three 
wins  against  two  defeats  with  a  league 
log  of  two  wins,  no  defeats  in  the 
Class  "B"  Mason^Dixon  Conference. 

The  more  experienced  Wolfpack 
gave  another  great  performance  on 
their  home  field  as  they  scored  in 
every  period  but  the  final  quarter. 
Fonner  W.C.  captain,  Ray  Wood,  led 
his  teammates  in  the  barrage  of  al- 
most sixty  shots  against  Slio'  goalie, 
John  Parker,  scoring  three  times  with 
fast,  faking  goals.  Wood,  who  dented 
the  crciisc  the  first  two  minutes  of 
action,  was  also  a  former  Ail-Ameri- 
can while  attending  Washington  Col- 
lege under  the  leadership  of  coach 
Charles  Clark. 

Speedy  Mickey  DiMaggio  and  Jack 
Lamon  accounted  for  the  loser's  first 
half  goals  with  an  assist  from  attack- 
man    Hesse    Howard. 

Washington  will  face  Western  .Mary- 
land in  a  crucial  M-D  contest  here  on 
Wednesday,  April  28,  in  an  effort  to 
maintain   its   undefeated   IcMgue  slate. 


SJio'men  nine  ran  its  viciorv 
o  four  straight  on  April  Mth 
as  they  swept  lioth  ends  of  a  double 
header  from  visiting  Loyola  College, 
taking  the  firat  game  fi-l  and  eking 
out  a  7-0  ten-inning  victory  in  the 
night   cap. 

Husky  right-hander  Ronnie  Sisk  was 
the  master  of  control  in  the  opener 
with  his  fast  ball  and  curve  ball  break- 
ing to  near  perfection  as  he  alloweil 
ilie  Greyhounds  three  singles  while 
fanning  six  and  giving  up  three  walks, 
Loyola  was  the  first  to  draw  blood, 
picking  up  a  single  marker  in  the 
opening  frame.  This  lead  lasted  until 
the  third  when  the  Sho'men  combined 
a  single,  two  walks  and  an  error  to 
score  twice.  They  added  four  unner- 
e-isary  runs  in  the  home  half  of  the 
sixth  and  Sisk  bree/ed  to  his  second 
consecutive  victory  of  the  season. 

The  nightcap  provided  all  the  cs- 
liiement  of  baseball  with  extra  in- 
nings, close  plays  and  Coach  Tom 
Kiblcr  getting  the  thumb  in  the 
fourth  inning  for  protesting  too  vig- 
orously over  a  clo.sc  play  at  home 
plalc. 

Before  the  local  fans  could  .seat 
themselves  comfortably,  the  Grey- 
hounds jumped  on  starter  Joe  Syi;- 
manski  for  two  quick  tallies  on  a 
triple  by  Jim  Donohue  and  a  fo^ir- 
bagger  by  Earl  Hamper  in  the  first 
iiiniug.  They  picked  up  another  run 
olf  of  iclicvcr  loni  Wells  in  the  lop 
half  of  the  second  and  appeared  to  be 
on  their  way  to  a  victory.  However, 
the  locals  had  other  plans  and  in  the 
lionie  half  of  llic  serond  they  crossed 
ilie  plate  iwirc  to  get  back  in  Ihe 
game.  In  the  hollom  nf  the  sixth, 
ihey  pushed  across  a  single  inarkci  i'> 
lie    the  g;ime. 

The  deadlock  lasted  until  the  lop 
of  the  tenth  when  Loyola  put  together 
three  walks  iuid  two  singles  off  of 
W.C.'s  third  hurler  Dean  Wood  to 
score  three  limes.  In  the  bottom  of 
the  tenth,  nimble  (.rejhound  fork- 
fisier  Jack  Bcn/ing  hit  a  Vild  streak 
and  loaded  the  bases  with  two  awav. 
Two  free  passes,  an  error  and  anoth- 
er walk  tied  Ihe  score  for  the  second 
time.  Coach  Left  Rict/  of  Loyola  se- 
lected Tom  Bailey  to  relieve  Ben/ing 
and  the  former  promptly  walked  the 
winning  run  over,  giving  Wood  his 
second  win  and  the  team  iis  fourth 
victory  of  the  campaign. 

Meat   Balls  and  Bat.s: 

Barry  Burns  and  Lou  Corbely  con- 
tinued their  spectacular  hitting,  ai:- 
counting  for  his.  of  Washington's  nine 
safties  in  the  second  game.  The  latter 
Jerseyite.  althoiigli  hampered  by  an 
ankle  injury,  has  been  giving  great 
defensive  performances  along  with 
hLs  .500  batting  average.  Second  in 
the  parade  of  Coach  Kiblcr's  poteni 
batsmen  is  "Burly"  Bums  with  a  .381

portant  dilTciences.  They  arc  dis- 
lingnished  from  other  hawks  by  their 
longer  wings,  quicker  wing-beat, 
notched   beak   and  all-dark  eyes. 

Both  hawks  and  falcons  can  be 
rained  to  falconr)-,  however.  There 
have  even  been  instances  ol  owls 
ained  to  the  sport. 
Concerning  falcons,  lechnieally  only 
the  female  is  called  a  "falcon."  The 
:ibnut  a  third  less  in  si/e,  is 
called  a   tiercel. 

Of  all  the  falcons,  the  peregrine  is 
the  only  one  found  world-wide  and  is 
the  best  for  the  sport.  It  is  the  pere 
grine  falcon  which  is  directly  asso 
th  the  birds  most  widely 
used  during  the  height  of  falconry 
:  European  aristocracy  of  the 
Middle  -\ges. 

They  Take  It  Seriously 
Dick  and  the  handful  of  falconers 
in  this  counir\,  most  of  them  in  the 
East,  take  their  sport  seriously.  They 
arc  intensely  iuicrcsied  in  conserva- 
tion, in  preserving  the  dilferent  spe- 
>f  hawks,  and  many  of  the  birds 
caught  by  them  arc  banded  and 
released  immediately. 

Even  if  the  falcons  arc  not  released 
immediately,   the   trained    birds  event- 
ually  decide,    Dick    sa^-s,    "through    a 
Iconcr's   mistake  or   unfortunate  cir- 
imstances,  such  as  prey  several  miles 
away."    to    fly    off   and    return    to    the 
Eventually  losing  a  bird  is  con- 
sidered   part    of    the    sport. 

Catching  the  birds  in  the  first  place 

is  a  long  and  involved  business.  Some 

hawks,   such   as   red-tailed   hawks  and 

red-shouldered   hawks,   can    be   caught 

inland  during  most  of  ihc  year. 

Peregrines,  however,  are  best  caught

bird   on    its   first   migration   flight. 

thoui    all    its      adult      plumage,    is 

called    a    "passage."   A    bird    two  years 

lid  or  older,  with  all  its  adult  plum- 

ige.    is   called    a   '■haggard." 

A    wild-caught    bird    is    best   for   the 
sport    hecau.se    it    has   already      fended 
r  itself. 

Trapped  Along  The  Coast 
In  the  fall  the  falconers  in  this  sec- 
tion of  Ihc  country  hold  the  nearest 
thing  to  a  "convention."  For  a  week- 
end, or  two  weeks,  they  meet  in  sc- 
luded  spurts  along  the  Middle 
.Mlantic  Coast   to  trap   their  birds. 

One  of  the  best  places  is  off  .Mary- 
land's Atlantic  0>ajt,  Aualcague  Is- 
land. 

Just  how  the  birds  are  trapped  is 
pretty  secret,  too.  One  known  meth- 
od is  to  bury  oneself  in  the  sand  along 
the  beach  after  spotting  the  falcon. 
The  hunter,  peering  through  the  slats 
of  a  crate  or  peach  basket  over 
head,  holds  a  live,  fluttering  pigeon  in 
his    hands. 

The  falcon,  seeing  the  pigeon,  may 


lo  grab  Ihc  pigeon  and  hold  on.  -At 
iliis  nioineni  all  the  trapper  has  to  d< 
is   snatch    the   falcon's  legs. 

How  They  Are  Trained 
li.iiuing  the  falcon,  says  Dick,  lall 
for  experience  and  patience,  Workiu] 
on  the  general  i>rinci]>lc  of  re|ia\in! 
performance  with  food,  a  falcon  i 
iraincd  lo  ntrept  ihc  presence  of  tin 
ii-niner,  to  sii  on  the  trainer's  gloved 
list,  lo  come  .short  distances  for  food, 
to  come  longer  distances  for  food,  and 
gradnallv  to  be  released  for  attack 
upon  prey. 

In  inosi  c.iscs.  the  prey,  usually 
pigeons,  is  supplied  by  ihc  falconer. 
The  falcon  can  also  be  "entered,"  that 
is.  introduced  to  a  particular  quarry, 
such  as  pheas.int  or  crows. 

The  cquipmeni   the  falconer  nscs  is 
interesting.       Leather     strips      called 
"jesses"   aie   always    fastened    to   each 
falcon's  teg.  Through  a  swivel  n  Icasli 
about    three   feet   long   is  fasicned   lo 
both  of  the  jcs.ses  and  lied  to  the  Tai- 
n's block  or  perch. 
A   great   deal   of   a   iraincd   falcon's 
c  is  spent   in  darkness,  since  she  is 
hootled  much  of  the  lime.  .\  leather 
hood  fitted  snugly  over  her  head  helps 
keep  her  tame  and  quiet. 

Hooded,  she  can   be  easily  handled 

111    irausportcd      ftn   miles     without 

trouble.   Without   the  hood     the  bird 

would   become  disiractcd  and  nennus 

1  passing  sounds  and  sighls. 

The    Falconer's    "Rcw-ard" 
^Vhcn   the  bird  is     trained,     which 
takes   from  a   week   to  several   weeks, 
depending  on    the  falconer     and   the 
methods    used,    the   trainer   takes   her 
to  an  open  field. 
To  the  bird's  legs  are  fastened, spc- 
al   bells  which  arc  an  aid   in   locat- 
ing the  falcon  if  the  chase  happens  to 
ad  a  mile  or  several  wiiles  away. 
The    gooil    falcon    spirals    upward, 
feeling    the    air    under    strong      wings 
and  watching  all  movement  for  miles 
arcjund.  Even  at  -i.OOO  feci  up  the  fal- 
ran  instantly  see  a  pigeon  i~elcased 
below. 

Up  and  around  she  circles  till  the 
falconer  feels  she  has  reached  her 
:h".  her  highest  ascent.  Then  the 
pigeon  flies  out.  The  falcon  at  once 
begins  her  swift  stoop.  .\11  the  falcon- 
time  and  trouble  is  rewarded  in 
magnificent,  deadly  descent  of  this 
feathered  streak,  this  master  hunter 
of    the   air. 


More  than  L">,800  persons  were  kill-

CHALK  ONE  UP  FOR  S  G  A 

With  the  installation  of  new  officers  for  1954-').").  Student  Gov- 
ernment brought  down  the  curtain  on  the  second  consecutive  year 
for  that  organization  on  the  W.C.  campus.  We  heard,  during  that 
,t--embly,  the  accomplishments  of  the  organization  for  the  year 
'"' >-'i4.  \Vh(  thcr  those  accomplishments  (onstitute  a  successful 
\car  must  be  judged  in  light  of  the  fact  that  the  growth  of  a  strong 
and  efficient  Student  Government  is  a  slow  and  painful  process. 

It  took  us  a  long  time  to  gel  Student  Government.  It  was 
voted  down  once  because  there  was  not  enough  interest  on  eam|)us 
to  get  a  majority  of  the  students  to  the  polls.  At  that  time  two 
years  ago  The  Elm  went  to  bat  for  Student  Government— and  we 
are  still  at  bat  for  Student  Government.  S  G  A  will  have  the 
support  of  this  paper,  as  -well  as  its  cooperation,  as  long  as  the 
present  editors  are  in  office. 

Here,  the  Elm  wishes  to  salute  the  Student  Government  np- 
n-scntatives  and  officers  for  a  job  well  done  in  l953-.i4.  We  al.^o 
want  to  wi>h  the  new  members  luck  and  success.  If  you  need  a

OUR  SOCIAL 
PROBLEM 

by  John  Newbold 
1  am  writing  about  a  social  piv>l>- 
Icin  thai  is  one  to  every  incinbei-  ol 
Washiiigioii  College — student,  adi 
isirator,  and  tacully  member.  The 
prohlciii  has  been  ideniified  as  stu- 
dent passivcness.  suitcase  college  dis 
ease,  older  students,  and  football.  In 
shori,  almost  every  conceivable  label 
has  been  pasted  on  the  problem  by 
each  and  every  member  of  ihc  coL 
lege  comnnuiily.  1  i-ailier  call  the 
problem  'the  lack  of  social  life 
Washingion  College'.  Ibis  may 
may  not  surpas.s  other  labels,  but  it 
embraces   ihe  others  as  I  shall   point 

Ollt- 

The  prablcm  is  pi^escnt  now  on  the 
campus,  and  has  grown  to  its  dimen- 
sions niosi  noticeably  in  the  pasi  four 
years'.  The  pa.ssing  of  football  after 
Ihe  197)0  season  no  doubt  look  i 
ii  some  of  ihe  college  spirit  that 
pie\iously,|)re»-ailed,  hui  such  a  singu- 
lar thing  could  noi  bring  Ihe  problem 
III  the  niagniindc  it  has  reached  to- 
day. 

The  age  of  students,  in  the  ag 
g-.uc.  is  lower  than  that  of  four  years 
ago,  and  ihercforc,  it  is  assumed  ihe 
aimospheie  would  be  the  revei-se  of 
the  present  irend — that  older  siudenis 
would  render  a  more  studious  ait 
to  the  campus  and  ihat  younger  siu- 
denis would  be  a  parly  lo  the  noisier 
and    le^s   arademic   institution, 

No.  none  of  these  underlying  fac- 
tors can  he  called  the  main  cause. 
They  certainly  added  U>  the  present 
situation  hy  their  plurality,  hiii  even 
logcther  ihcy  could  noi  change  a 
campus  aliuosi  completely  >n  four 
vears   wiihoui    other   help. 

The  recreation  facitiiies.  if  they 
lime  changed  al  all.  have  improved. 
1  he  local  movie  is  now  open  on  Sun- 
da\s.  More  siudcnls  have  cars  to- 
day ilian  ihey  did  four  years,  ago, 
which  enahlcs  the  siudcnls  to  take 
advantage  of  the  other  enlerlainmeni 
located  beyond  Ihc  environs  of  Ches- 
ieiio\vn  proper.  I'he  increased  num- 
ber of  cars  has  no  doubt  been  ihc 
cause  of  the  week-end  exodus  of  stu- 
dents from  (be  college,  but  we  are 
concerned  with  whv  ihev  leave  and 
not    the    relative    case   or    method. 

In  short — there  are  two  main  causes 
I   refer  to:  lack  of  money  and  public 

It  was  just  four  short  years  ago 
ibai  Washington  College  started  on 
its  long  range  expansion  and  build 
ing  fund  drive.  Money  was  needed  to 
make  our  plans  and  dreams  reality, 
and  Ihcre  was  no  visible  source  of  a 
ready  and  inexhaustible  supply.  \p- 
peals  to  the  state  were  made  and 
met  will)  little  satisfaction.  Ii  was 
plain  to  sec  that  ouisidcrs  would 
have   lo   be  approached. 

Bv  accepting  gifts  fnini  generous 
friends,  elders,  and  alumni  of  the  c-ol- 
lege  we  become  a[  Icasi  social  and 
moral  debtors.  We  do  noi  owe  these 
pei'plettuoncy,  but  rather  the  intangi- 
bles of  our  society — thanks,  considera- 
tion, and  appieciation.  These  donors, 
liy  lire  giving  of  iheir  money,  become, 
by  choice,  pari  of  Washington  Col- 
lege— a  pan  just  as  big  as  the  one 
played  bv  the  siiidcuil.  ihe  adminisinr- 
lion,  and   the  profcssnr- 

Jiisi  as  we  expect  from  each  .other 
on  c»mpits,  wc  inu.sl  see  the  necessity 
for  mcciing  the  demands  of  oUr  ben- 
cfacioi-s,  and  wilh  even  greater  zeal, 
for  wiihoui  ihcm.  none  of  whai  is  to 
be.  is  possible.  It  is  indeed 'a  sliamc 
that  money  alone,  in  a  sense,  has  the 
plaie'and  power  ii  does,  but  this  is 
the  situation   as   wc   find   it. 

Because  of  ihc  implications  of  our 
dcbis  lo  our  donors,  wc  cannot  meet 
the  problems  of  our  college  com- 
munity without  considering  the  feel- 
ings of  our  donors.  This  indeed  can 
become  especially  harrcnving  when 
opinions  and  solutions  for  the  vari- 
ous problems  facing  the  community 
diflcr,  and  more  .\o  when* ihc  schocd 
and  the  donors  arc  in  disagreement. 
It  is  during  these  limes  when  the 
calmest  of  thinking  on  Ihc  whool's 
pan  is  needed.  Ii  is  naturally  hard  af- 
ter administrators,  professors,  and 
Students  come   lo     an     agrccincnt    tu' 


Dirty  Ernie 's  Diary 


W..\R    DIAR\, 

And  to  ihink  thai  not  ton  long  ago 
I  was  complaining  about  ihe  heal. 
Guess  I'll  have  lo  start  spending  my 
afternoons   at    the   beach. 

Well,  diary— LF.C  was  a  blast,  as 
usual.  (Ollcnding  no  one,  I  hope,  bul 
what  college  pany  wasn't  a  blast,  in 
one    fonn    or    anolher?? 

As  lo  any  pin's  changing  parinei's, 
I  delected  nary  a  one.  Of  iourc  I 
aiuld  be  wrong,  some  people  are 
rather  sneaky  about  surlr  things.  On 
Ihe  olhcr  side  of  love,  'ihcrc  were  a 
few  swan  songs  sung  o\cr  the  week- 
end, although  I  understand  a  few  ol 
them  sobered  up  and  renewed  ac- 
quaintances. Which  reminds  mc. 
friend  Wayne,  watch  out  for  those 
before  meal  appclj/ers — people  begin 
to  wonder  when  you  slur  your  s's.  It 
is  a  known  faci  that  there  is  no  such 
thing   as  a   Swish    waich. 

Sunday  was  a  rather  quiet  day; 
there  >vere  more  late  sicepcw  in 
Reld    Hall.    EnulT  said! 

Everyone  was  glad  lo  see  Wanita 
"oh  my  side"  Macmullen  back  in 
circulation — understand  "the  ga/ell" 
carried  her  down  a  flight  of  stairs 
after  class  one  day — Quote  he  "Sigh 
—to   be  young  somelimel!!" 

And  while  wc  arc  on  the  subjeci 
of  classes  (dirty  »*ord)  I  wondered  s»'ho 
Jarring  Jack  Bergen  was  dashing  off 
poems  to  in  Corporation  Finance  one 
day — upcm  consultation  with  the  one 
to  whom  they  were  written  I  rcceiv-, 
cd  this  answcn  "(Tee  Hee) — ^They're 
awful." 

Thumbing  ihi-ough  my  notes,  dian, 
I  find  more  almui  I.F.C.  For  instance, 
■  here  was  that  last  minute  telegram 
to  Wcsi  Hall  which  could  be  other- 
wise lermed  as  a  "Dear  John  Junior." 
•  .\nd  mentioning  no  names,  hut  wbo 
was  the  raiher  obvious  per<on  who 
arri\ed  ai  the  dance  in  raihcr  sad 
shape  bccau.se  of  an  overdone' -matinee 


some    hours    before. 

Closely  rclalived  lo  Inter- Fraternity 
week-end  is  the  ncw.s  item  of  a 
tain  roust-about  who  i.s  known  k, 
many  Reid  Hall  circles  as  "The 
Scientist." 

And  going  frvm  .ircles  lo  iriaiiglc, 
diary,  1  understand  thai  one  of  iht 
laiici  on  lampus  stands  a  good  chance 
■>!  becoming  an  acuie  situation.  Foi 
those  Aris  niajon  who  fail  to  undci. 
siand  the  humorous  aspect  of  Ihat  lau 
siaiemeni,  ask  any  math  student  im

I  saw  the  Washingian  I'layers  pix,. 
dudion  of  Harvey  lasi  week-end,  utu] 
bad  the  great  pleasure  lo  talk  to 
rabbit  one  night,  and  he  had  ilii, 
comment: 

"1  enjoyed  appearing  on  your  s 
immensely  but.  I  mii.st  say  ii's  a 
fighl  to  produce  a  play  on  this  larir- 
pus!"  And  with  that  he  grabbed  hri 
perforated  hat  and  left.  Ob  well,  ycii 
can't   please  everybody. 

Getting  on  to  plain  old  nosey 
every  day  news,  I  hear  (ell  that,  Wash- 
ingtoii  College's  center  fielder  is 
ing  to  keep  up  with  his  idol,  Joe  Di.

lo    make    the    choice.    So    good    I 
men,  now  we'll  hnd  oui  who's  wh 


change  because  of  ihe  wishes  of 
few  doirors.  I(  is  unfair  and  a  definite 
infringemenl  upon  the  right  of  thi 
school  as  a  whole  to  operate  as  ; 
democratic  fimclioning  oigani/aiion

see  hi.  or  arc  we  lo  rccon.sider  and 
fall  more  in  line  wilh  the  donors'  way 
of  ihiiikiug?  This  is  indeed  a  point 
of  great  delibci'aiion  for  ihc  school. 
W'c  are  forced  lo  barter  and  com- 
promise wilh  our  benefactor  if  we 
wish  lo  remain  favorable  in  iheir 
eyes. 

\\hatevcr  the  issue,  the  .siudeni; 
are  very  likely  to  resort  to  the  move 
emotional  line  of  thoughi,  thus  ieav. 
ing  Ihc  adminisirairon  and  the  faciil-

at  the  same  limc  should  have  the 
problent  fully  explained  lo  them, 
ihai  ihe\  could  sec  ihc  pixiblcm

Ihe  lack  of  explanation  through  ad

Ihc   former  are   to  blame. 

'Ihc  siudenis  must  be  made  to  >,t:ti

grcai  school  assets,  the  donor.s.  .And 
our  jiolicy  should  consider  just  how

Unbeaten  Shopmen  Triumph  Over  Loyola  Ten 


ATHLETE'S  FEAT 

By  Jeiiy  Yudizky 


W.  C.  Net  Team  Wins,  7-2 


With  all  due  apologies  to  Mr,  Ernest  Lawrence  Thayer,    Mr. 
me  Franklin  Yudizky  presents  the  W.C.  version  of  "Casey  at 
ir  Bat". 

Schmidt  at  the  Bat 
ith  an  undefeated  record  W.C.  went  out  to  play; 
lie  championship  of  the  league  was  at  stake  that  day. 
he  team  played  well,  but  just  the  same, 
the  end  of  eight  they  were  losing  the  game.. 

Visitors — 3",  the  scoreboard  read: 
hat  was  the  margin  by  which  they  led. 

u  the  top  of  the  ninth  they  went  down  in  order, 

I'ith  Sisk  keeping  their  inargin  from  getting  any  broader. 

inild  the  Sho'men  rally  and  come  from  behind? 
he  cheering  crowd  liad  that  one  thought  in  mind. 
Tiey  had  done  so  before — had  taken  games  from  the  hat; 
his  was  their  last  chance — their  last  turn  at  bat. 

lit  ol'  Rogah  swished  the  air  for  a  swinging  strike  three, 
nd  "Big  R"  grounded  out — scored  "5 — 3". 
lirrc  was  one  last  chance  as  Burns  stepped  to  the  plate. 
fluid  he  start  thing.s  going,  or  was  it  too  late? 

Ic  singled  to  left;  stole  second  on  a  slid,e. 

hen  Tilley  waited  out  for  a  "ball  four — \vide". 

wo  nn,  two  out.  and  three  runs  to  make  up, 

lut  it  looked  like  the  hitters  had  finally  w^ked  up. 

(luiids  was  next,  and  then  came  Schmidt. 
lomer  by  Hcrm  and  that  would  beit. 
icEi  Bounds  was  safe  on  an  error  at  third, 
r  miles  aroutid  the  shouting  could  be  heard. 

or  now  the  slugger  was  up  to  bat. 

.  nrand-slam  homer — could  he  do  that? 

Tic  roaring  crowd  became  silent  and  tense, 

outfielders  dropped  back  till  against  the  fence. 

1  swung  a  few  bats  to  loosen  his  swing, 

Ixd  the  rosin  bag,  then  gave  it  a  fling.  

k  up  his  stance,  adjusted  his  hat — 
li^hty  Schmidt  was  up  to  bat. 

Herm  was  one  to  let  the  fii-st  pitch  go  past; 
IS  good  for  a  strike — across  the  middle  and  fast, 
iu  next  pitch  came  in,  the  bat  went  flying; 
liTnidt  missed,  strike  two— the  rally  was  dying. 


lut  Hcrm  was  confident  as  he  stood  at  the  plate", 

igh  some  fans  were  seen  heading  for  the  gate. 
riiin  three  straight  balls  ran  out  the  count. 
Vith  each  pitch  the  tension  did  mount. 


lie  pitcher  looked  in  and  got  his  signal. 
The  ball  came  in;  Schmidt  tried  for  a  bingle. 

like  a  corkscrew  he  found  himself  wound  .  .  . 
<limidt  struck  out — the  side  had  been  downed. 

!ui  I  know  where  the  sun  still  shines  bright, 
Vhere  a  band  is  playing,  and  young  hearts  arc  light, 
Vhere  co-eds  laugh  and  where  teachers  pout; 
n  though  mighty  Schmidt  struck  out. 

Iccause,  you  sec,  to  ihe  wonderment  of  all, 
'lie  catcher  failed  to  hold  on  to  the  ball, 
seems  it  had  eluded  the  catcher's  mitt, 
ind  rolled  away  from  the  batter's  pit. 

lurns  raced  for  home,  and  Schmidt, for  first. 
"10  the  scoring  colunm  the  Sho'men  burst. 
s  now  only  two  runs  that  they  lacked, 
Vith  Borbely  up  and  the  bases  parked. 

pitcher  wound  up  and  threw  the  ball  in; 
■ew  stood  ready,  sporting  a  grin, 
vwonsh  of  a  bat,  a  sharp  cracking  sound  .  .  . 
ome  say  the  ball  still  hasn't  been  found.

and  Haney.  This  Mi.  Sainis  liai

a  polished  and  siislained  performance, 
hi-  has  kept  Ihe  mood  of  ihe  nnnsnal 
(itiiiiadeship  hciween  an  hiehrialc  and 
a  siv  foiit  piHika  ihroughoiit  the 
tire   performance. 

In  the  reviewer's  opinion.  Mr.  Samis. 
ill  i)ic  second  scene  of  Act  11,  when 
he  had  lo  describe  what  he,  ElMood, 
and  Harvei  did.  reached  the  height 
of  acting  seen  on  a  Washinglon  College 
stage  in  many  a  >car.  For  this  fan- 
lasiir  comedy  of  Man  Chase's  is  real- 
1\  a  mere  farce.  In  the  sharp  conirasi 
between  the  gentle  Elwood  and  hb 
unseen  friend  and  the  human  beings 
who  mine  al>oni  them,  the  aiiilior 
has  commented  wiih  great  insighl 
upon  the  terrible  foibles  i.f  ordinary 
Inirnn  uciiinrcs.  In  its  denonnu-nl. 
the  [ilav  makes  Ihe  audience  really 
bcli(^-,e  iliai  Mwood  .md  Harvcv  are 
more  -nnrmal"  and  '"human"  than 
those  who  surround  ihcni.  Shelly 
nadtr.  in  a  well  done  bit  role,  makes 
this  abundanily  clear. 

J  ht  tiitirc  cast  did  an  admirable 
job  in  supponing  Mi.  Samis.  Special 
credif  mnu  ijo  in  I'eic  Buibage  for  a 
maiuie  and  niliiilaied  performance. 
Mr.  Burbage  plavwl  rrusiv  old  Judge

Ben  Lederer.  Rv  ihc  end  of  the 
pbv,  \\'ilM>ii  has  acinally  come  lo  like 
Ehv.MHl.  and   lo  lespeet  him. 

-Much  of  the  effectiveness  of  ihe 
p!J^  depends  upon  ihc  tontrast  lic- 
iWLtn  Elwood's  home  and  Chumlev's 
rcsi.  a  stamping  ground  of  ihc  20ih 
tcniiin,  version  of  ihe  tribal  medi- 
cine man,  the  psychiatrisi.  Jack  Dan- 
iel as  Dr.  Cliumlev.  and  Wayne  Gru- 
clin  as  Dr.  Sandtrs(m.  did  excellent 
jobs  as  representatives  of  ihe  cull 
of  Ihe  Freudians.  Polly  Taylor  was 
nuKi  believable  as  (heir  harassed 
nuisc. 

The  women  in  the  play,  including 
the  nurse,  aie  acinally  refleriions  of 
Ihe  male  characters.  Doris  Hal]  and 
SjvIcc  I'rig  did  extremely  well  in 
liieir  debut  before  the  footlighls. 
T  lieir  roles  as  Elwood's  sister  and 
n-ccc  demanded  ihat  ihc>  carry  ma- 
jor burdens  in  the  development  of 
Ihc  sion.  Doroihy  Willis  did  an 
amusing  bit  as  Mrs.  Ethel  Chauvcnet 
and  Dolores  Casanova  made  an  ai- 
iraciite    Belly    Chumley. 

.Much  credit  for  the  surencss  of  the 
performance  and  ihc  lightness  ol 
mood  must  go  to  Director  Dave 
Humphries,  and  his  Assisunt  Direc- 
ti>r,  Ted  Ichni'iwski.  It  was  courage-

Fashion  Show  Features  Mock 
Wedding,  Miss  Maryland 


Alpha   Omieron   Pi   sorority  staged 
lir  Spring  Fashion  Show  May  5  bi 
fori-    a    mixed     audience      of    college 
nudents    and    townspeople.      Using    a 
simple    backdrop    of    white    lattice    in- 
twined    with    roses    and   vine,      the 
AOPi's     displayed      what     the     well- 
icd   young   women   on    the   Shore 
will    be   wearing    this   summer.      The 
theme  of   the    show   was   "June   Week 
at  Washington  College"  and  the  girls 
tarried    the      audience      through      an 
imaginary  whirl      of  parlies,      dances, 
ilays  at  the  beach,  and  graduation  ex- 
cises. 

The  take-off  point  of  the  show 
was  the  display  of  the  newest  bath- 
ing suits  arid  play  suits.  Then  came 
tbi'  suits,  si'paratcs,  and  dressy  dress- 
followed  by  party  and  cocktail 
tlrcsses  and  finally,  the  all-important 
formals,  Bright  flowered  prints,  in  any 
"latcrial,  seems  to  be  -the  newest 
'bing  this  summer.  The  rver-popnlar 
3nd  smart  linen  is  also  high  on  this 
sinnmer's  list  of  "musts."  Ball  fringe, 
pvarls,  rhinesloncs,  and  oddly  placed 
artificial  flowers  add  the  unusual 
jtouch  that  women  insist  upon. 

'    One  of  the  highlight:!  of  the  show 


was  the  guest  appearance  of  Miss 
Maryland  of  1952-53,  Mi.ss  Shirley 
Harrison,  who  modeled  four  outfits 
and  drew  the  numbers  for  the  eight 
door  prize.  She  spoke  briefly  on  Civil 
Defense, 

The  surprise  climax  of  the  show 
was  the  mock  wedding  of  President 
Jane  Colt,  dressed  as  a  beautiful 
June  bride,  to  Buddy  Sparks,  her  fi- 
ance. Midst  a  shower  of  ncc,  the  cur- 
tain came  down  on  the  annual  Spring 
Fashion  Show.  , 

The  Fashion  Shop,  under  the  man- 
agement of  Milton  Dorf,  sponsored 
the  show.  Beth  Cilhrandsen  was  the 
moderator  and  Debbie  Hccrs  was 
fashion    coordinator.     _. 

The  girls  who  modeled  were  Jane 
Colt,  Terry  Knill,  Marion  Water- 
man, Janet  Parks,  Sue  Samuels,  Pri- 
scilla  Dumschott,  Janet  Middleton, 
Eleanor  Hempstead,  Bobby  Anderson, 
Carol  Oakerson,  Janene  Richmond, 
Lt-c  Boteler,  Carol  Knisrly,  Lynn 
Emory,  Mary  Lee  Lincoln,  Saylce 
Urig,   Joan    Wheeler. 

The  ushers  and  escorts  were  Bud- 
dy Spark.t,  Bob  Appleby,  Frank 
Stockholm,  Don  Steynen,  and  Jim 
Metealf. 


The  first  of  these  amendmcn'is 
stales:  "Attendance  shall  be  taken  at 
every  Student  Council  meeting.  Any 
representative  member  absent  from 
two  consecutive  regular  mcelings  or 
any  four  meetings  in  one  semester. 
without  excuse  presented  to  the  pres- 
ident and  upon  question  found  ac- 
ceptable to  the  majority  of  the  Coim- 
cil  members,  shall  be  reporied  to  his 
or  her  class  and  class  oflicers  for  de- 
linquency with  the  Council's  request 
for  replacement.  The  Council  may 
recoimncnd  one  of  the  members  to 
his  or  her  constituents  for  replace- 
ment at  such  lime  as  three-fourths  of 
Ihe  Council  members  feel  that  there 
is  just  cause  for  his  or  her  removal." 

In  addition,  any  class  may  file  a  pe- 
tition with  the  Student  Government 
requesting  that  iheir  representative  be 
removed. 

In  any  case,  a  new  election  will  be 
held.  However,  the  impeached  repre. 
sentative  may  again  run  for  his  or 
her  former  ofTice. 

Will    Enliven   Council 

In  explaining  this  amendment. 
Bourn  said  that  the  purpose  behind 
it  is  to  keep  the  members  of  the 
Council  on  the  b.ill.  Since  plenty  of 
work  must  be  done  within  the  SGA 
even  when  all  the  members  cooper- 
ate to  the  fullest,  the  organization 
can  hardly  be  expected  to  accomplish 
much  to  benefit  the  students  if  its 
members  have  a  nonchalant  attitude 
about    their   offices,    he   said. 

Under  the  present  situation,  those 
members  of  the  Student  Governmeni 
who  shirk  their  duty  cannot  be  re- 
placed except  by  a  campus-wide  vote 
to  that  effect.  The  virtual  impossibil- 
ily  of  any  such  action  being  taken 
allows  incompetents  to  remain  in  of- 
fice and  bog  down  the  Council's 
work,    Bourn    nuicd. 

The  president  feels  that  this  amend- 
ment will  "prevent  people  from  slay- 
ing in  an  olfice  they  perhaps  sought 
onlv  for  the  prestige  ii  carries,  and 
the  the  amendment  will  eventually 
discourage  these  people  from  even 
running  for  an  office  in  the  Student 
Government, 

The  second  amendment  is  worded: 
"-■Vffiliaied  with  the  Student  Govern- 
ment Association  shall  be  a  Judiciary 
Branch  to  be  composed  of  eleven 
members:  the  Presiden 


Bourn  pointed  out  that  it  is  ex- 
tremely important  that  this  amend- 
ment be  passed.  The  clause  in  the 
present  constitution  is  not  recognised 
by  the  faculty  and  therefore  cannot 
even  be  considered  as  a  part  of  Ihe 
constitution.  Since  a  constitution  must 
be  accepted  as  whole  and  since  this 
part  is  nol  accepted,  in  effect  the  en- 
tire constitution  is  not  valid.  Bourn 
asked.  "How  can  the  SGA  be  expect- 
ed to  progress  in  behalf  of  the  stu- 
dent body  and  the  college  iiself  if 
even    its   constitution    is    not   sound?" 

The  wording  in  the  amendment  is 
acceptable  to  both  the  Council  and 
the  faculty  advisors,  he  said;  only 
the   students   are  holding  back. 

Bourn  urged  the  students  to  turn 
out  and  vote  "yes"  to  these  amend- 
ments. 


ODK  Recognizes 
AccomplisEiments 
Of  Nine  Seniors 

The  Alpha  Psi  Circle  of  Oinicron 
Delta  Kappa  awarded  nine  honorary 
certificates  to  deserving  students  and 
alumni  at  the  assembly  on  May  6. 
This  honor  is  given  each  year  as  a 
recognition  of  "diversity  of  interests 
and  accomplishments  in  the  field  ol 
extracurricular  activities  at  Wash- 
ington College"  and  each  receiver  is 
entitled  "to  purchase  and  wear  the 
Washington  College  Extra-Currit 
Activities    Key." 

The  girls  who  were  singled  oul 
their  campus  work  were:  Josephine 
Budd,  Mary  Lee  Lincoln.  Janice  Palm 
er.  and  Saylee  Urig.  The  men  who 
were  also  honored  were:  Ellsworth 
Biyd,  John  Newbold,  Robert  Stahl. 
Douglas  Tilly,  and  Melvin  Winstcad. 
These  students  have  excelled  in  one 
Or  more  of  the  five  campus  fields 
recognized  by  O.D.K.,  which  are 
athletics,  scholarship,  dramatics,  so 
cial  and  religious  publications. 

Josephine  Budd  is  the  past  presi 
dent  of  Zeta  Tan  Alpha  and  wa

UPPERCLASSMEN 

WILL  INSTRUCT 

NEWCOMERS 

When  the  freshmen  hit  the  cam- 
pus for  the  first  lime  next  fall  they 
may  not  be  so  confused  as  have  the 
classes  who  preceded  them  if  a  pro- 
posed administration  system  of  pro- 
viding upperclass  advisors  for  them 
goes  into  effect.  Information  from  the 
Dean's  ulficc  this  week  explained  iho 
program. 

The  advisors  will  be  selected  from 
■  he  present  junior,  sophomore,  and 
freshman  classes,  preferably  from  the 
students  who  will  be  sophomores  next 
year,  since  they  best  remember  their 
experiences  as  freshmen. 

Functions  Outlined 

From  three  to  five  students  will  be 
assigned  to  each  advisor.  During 
Freshman  Week  the  uppcrclassmcn 
will  meet  the  students,  acquaint  them 
with  the  physical  plant  of  the  col- 
lege, and  point  oul  who's  who  and 
what's  what  around  the  campus.  In 
other  words,  the  advisors  will  give 
the  students  information  that  only 
students  can  give.  It  was  felt'  that 
confusion  'and  inactivity  during  Fresh- 
man Week  would  disappear  much 
more  quickly  than  in  previous  years. 
To  Help  Studies 

The  job  of  .student  advisors  won't 
stop  with  Freshman  Week,  however. 
For  three  or  four  weeks  of  the  first 
semester,  the  sophomores  will  help 
the  new  students  wiih  their  study  and 
social  problems.  Mo.st  freshmen  don't 
■know  how  to  study,  especially  with- 
out faculty  or  parental  supervision, 
it  was  brought  oul.  Upperclass  guid- 
ance would  be  a  major  step  in  get- 
ting freshmen  started  on  a  successful 
college  career.  If  students  begin  study- 
ing by  using  the  right  procedures,  ihe 
correct  sources,  and  an  efficient  rou- 
tine in  preparing  their  work,  piled- 
up  assignments  and  "end-of-semester 
despair"   should   never   trouble   them. 

.\11  who  wish  lo  be  student  advis- 
ors for  freshmen  or  who  can  suggest 
others  who  would  make  conscientious 
and  interested  advisors  were  urged  to 
contact  Dean  Doyle  before  the  end 
oE   this  semester. 


A    quorum    shall    consist 
nine   members." 


Canterburians 
Pick  Burbage 

Pete  Burbage  was  elected  presidcni 
of  Ihe  Canterbuiy  Club  lasl  Sunday 
when  the  club  met  to  elect  officers 
and  hear  Rev,  L.  H.  Hinrichs,  of 
St.  Luke's  Episcopal  Church  in  Chui-ch 
Hill.  Pete  replaces  King  Merritt.  who 
was  applauded  for  a  .splendid  job  for 
Ihe    past  term  of  office. 

Olficcs  of  vice-president  and  secre- 
tary-ireasurer  will  be  hehl  by  Isaac 
"Hank"  Dixon  and  Eleanor  Hemp- 
stead, respectively.  The  gronp  decided 
there  was  nu  need  for  a  separate  secre- 
tary and  treasurer,  and  combhicd  Ihe 
two  ofltces;  The  club  will  hold  no 
more  meetings  this  scmcsier. 


if  the  Elm  and  a  (rack 
President  of  the  senior  class  aitd  a 
Student  Government  representative. 
John  Newbold  has  been  a  familiar 
figure  on  campus,  while  Bob  Stahl 
has  workcKl  industriously  as  editor  of 
the  Pegtisus  and  as  business  manager 
of  the  Elm.  The  Simpers  .Athletic 
.\ward  was  merited  by  Doug  Tilly 
last  year  for  his  outstanding  sporls- 
manship  in  soccer,  basketball,  and 
baseball.  Mel  AVinslcad  was  Ihe  past 
president  of  the  Stien^e  Club  and  a 
member  of  the  Student  Governmeni 
Council. 

Alt  of  these  boys  lacked  a  slight 
margin  of  the  points  necessary  for 
initiation  into  O.D.K.  .Vs  women  are 
not  allowed  in  the  Circle,  these  girls 
are  given  recognition  fur  having  the 
qualilied  number  of  points  for  en- 
trance. 


Vote  To  End 
Clause  Clamp 

Of  ihe  several  Student  Government 
constitutional  amendments  now  pend- 
ing popular  acceptance,  the  one 
printed  below  is  deemed  most  im- 
portant by  the  Council  .  because  it 
streamlines    the  amending   process. 

In  the  constitution  now  the  clause 
1  "provided  that  two-thirds  of  the  mem- 
bership votes",  included  by  demand 
of  the  senior  class  two  years  ago,  ob- 
structs the  passing  of  amendments. 
Spokesmen  for  tlie  Council  points  out 
that  no  other  amending  process  is 
so  binding  and  resiriciing.  Under 
such  a  system  the  President  of  the 
U.  S.  could  never  be  elected,  they 
said.  Voting  on  the  recent  amend- 
ments showed  that  the  present  clause 
keeps  the  majority  Aom  ruling.  There 
were  130  in  favor  of  the  amendment, 
30  against — an  ovenvhelming  majori- 
ty. Bui  since  two-thirds  of  the  stu- 
denis  did  not  vole,  the  measures  died. 

Supporlere  of  the  new  amendment 
feel  that  the  whims  of  a  senior  class 
of  two  years  ago  should  not  govern 
the  students  today.

SPECIAL  ISSUE  COMING  UP 

This  is  the  lasl  regular  issue  of  thr  Elm.  that  will  be  printed 
Uiis  semester  so  this  is  a  rather  premature  editorial  farewell.  You 
have  bet-n  very  cooperative  and  patient  with  us  as  we  worked  h^rd 
to  gain  experience  and  efficiently  fill  the  posts  we  were  assigned  in 
FebruaPi".  The  stafT  wishes  to  express  its  appreciation  and  thi 
hope  that  next  fall,  with  this  much  needed  experience  under  our 
belts,  we  will  be  ableto  give  you  an  even  better  newspaper.  Praise,'; 
liave  been  few,  but  so  have  complaints— and  that  is  our  -best  in- 
dication that  we  have  been  doing  a  satisfactory  job,  at  least. 

But  this  is  not  the  last  Elm  you  will  see  this  year — we  are  plan- 
ning a  "Special  Issue"  for  you  next  week.  It  will  be  an  All-Sports 
Edition  under  the  capable  direction  of  Sports  Editor  Joe  Szyraans- 
ki.    B?  looking  for  it!

Sample  guestioru  in  our  sequel  to 
the   I.Q.   tests: 

What  time  is  it  when  the  minute 
hand  of  a  clock  is  at  seven  and  thi- 
hour  hand  is  where  the  minute  hand 
was  srven  hours  before?  If  the  main- 
spring is  broken? 

A  man  in  Smyrna  had  $100.00. 
He  spent  S5,00  for  flowers,  $6.00  for 
cocktails,  518.50  for  dinner,  $11.00 
on  more  cocktails,  S4.00  on  taxis,  and 
$48  on  more  cocktails.  How  did  he 
fee!  the   next  morning? 

A  train  going  80  m.p.h.  left  Los 
.Angeles  for  Chicago.  Twenly-four 
hours  laUT  a  plane  left  Rangoon, 
Burma,  going  to  China.  Which  was 
nearest  Mexico  City  when  the  plane 
crashed? 

If  A  can  do  a  piecr  of  work  in 
three  days  and  B  can  do  the  same 
work  in  four-and-a-half  days.  Why 
don't  they,  instead  of  colliding  their 
unemployment  checks?

Mild  One

No,  this  is  not  a  cigarette  ad,  this 
IS  the  new  theatre.  This  is  Studit 
One   B.     Come   right   in   and  relax. 

Our  story  opens  with  a  doud  of 
dust  rising  on  U.  S.  213.  In  the 
lance  can  be  heard  the  whirr 
angr\-  spokes  as  thirty  souped  up 
Schwinns  roar  into  view.  The  angrj' 
jangling  of  the.ir  bells  can  be  heard 
distinctly.  At  their  head,  wlh  a 
container  of  Koontz  strapped  to  his 
cycle,    rides    Penrod    Pansy,    the    mild 

What  can  these  dregs  of  humanity 
want  in  our  typical  teen-age  town. 
Right  now  they  are  heading  for  Club 
Gill,  where  Ztlda  Scrapple,  typical 
teen-age  jerk,  is  in  the  back  room 
plucking  a  cliicken  for  her  typical 
teen-age  dad, 

-Penrod  enters,  followed  by  the 
mild  one.  and  scratches  on  the  coun- 
ter for  service.  Zelda  drops  her 
chicken  and  rushes  out,  gracefully 
brushing  chicken  feathers  from  her 
ij-pical  teen-age  smock. 

"Yes  Thir?"  she  slurs  through  her 
hairlip,    (a    typical    teen-age    hairlip). 

"Begging  your  pardon  ma'am, 
we've  come  a  long  way,  where "s  the 
'cd?" 

"What   do   you  do  there,  Thir?" 

"Oh,  we  don't  do  anything,  ma'am, 
we  just  go  ma'am,  go  ma'am,  go.  Do 
dee  o  do  do  do,"  he  said  nervously, 
shifting  from  leg   to  leg. 

"I  thee,"  typical  teen-age  Zelda 
swooned.   "I   love  you." 

Penrod,  preoccupied,  hurried  on 
his  way. 

Suddenly  outside,  a  new  group  of 
cyclists  appeared.  They  were  a  rival 
gang  led   by  Sinful  Simon. 

Simon  entered  and  slid  up  to  the 
bar.  "Thafe",  slurred  Zelda's  typical 
teen-age  mother  as  she  glanced  up 
from  the  racing  form. 

Simon  knocked  on  Zelda's  typical 
teen-age  head  for  service.  "Yes, 
TTiir,"  she  slurred  through  her  typi- 
cal   tccn-agc    hairlip. 

"Ugh,"   he  said   roughly, 

"Thory   Thir,   we're  out  of    those." 

"Ugh!!!" 

"Yeth  Thir". 

"Begging  your  pardon  iir,  ma'am 
here  said  she  was  out  of  those." 

Simon  broke  a  table  over  Pen-

"Don't  change  the  subject,"  in- 
sisted Penrod,  maintaining  his  digni-

Spotlight 
On  A  Senior 

Dot  Willis  came  to  Washington 
College  after  graduating  from  Ridley 
Park  High  School  in  Ridley  Park, 
Pennsylvania.  She  said  that  her  ac- 
tivities aren't  too  numerous  because 
she  limited  herself  to  just  a  few  so 
that  she  could  do  a  good  job  instead 
of  having  a  finger  in  every  pic  and 
actually  doing  nothing.  We  feci  she 
has  done  a  good  job  and  been  a 
definite  asset  to   the   campus. 

Her    major    interest      lies      in    the 


Dirty  Ernie 's  Diary 


dramatic  field.  Since  her  freshman 
,  Dot  has  been  chairman  of  the 
makeup  committee  for  the  Washtng- 
on  Players.  Recently  she  was  award- 
d  a  certificate  of  merit  for  her  in- 
dispensable work  on  this  committee. 
She  has  also  acted  in  several  produc- 

s  a  member  of  Alpha  Chi 
Omega,  Dot  has  served  as  secretary' 
and  rush  chairman.  She  is  a  "dyed 
in  the  wool"  Democrat,  so  of  course, 
!he  takes  an  active  interest  in  the 
Young  Democrats  Club  of  which  she 
member.  She  is  also  a  member 
of  the  Canterbury  Club.  Dot  has 
been  a  member  of  the  Kent  County 
Historical    Society    for    the    past    sev- 

al  years  and  has  served  as  corre- 
sponding   secretary. 

Last  semester  Dot  was  honored  by 
being  selected  as  one  of  W.C.'s  rep- 
resentatives at  the  Washington  Se- 
mester Program  at  American  Uni- 
versity in  Washington.  She  said  this 
was  a  wonderful  experience  and  one 
which  she  thoroughly  enjoyed. 

After  graduation.  Dot  says  she  has 

I  aspirations  to  do  graduate  work 
She  is  very  interested  in  politics  and 
hopes  to  be  able  to  do  some  type  of 
government  work  in  Washington. 
Whatever  you  do,  we  wish  you  the 
best  of  luck.  Dot! 


LETTER 

TO  THE  EDITOR 

The    Elm 

Dear  Editor, 

As  president  of  the  Student  Coun- 
1,    I   would    like    to  express  my   per- 
sonal   thanks    for   the    vote    of     confi- 
dence   and    support    given    us    by    the 
i  and  its  editors  in  the  recent  edi- 
It    is    gratifying    to    know      we 
have  such  support. 

In  my  acceptance  speech,  I  brought 
out  that  the  stands  taken  by  the 
Council  this  year  may  not  always 
find  clear  sailing.  With  the  Elm  on 
the  job,  pointing  out  the  pro's  and 
con's  of  issues,  opening  direct  reports 
and  points  of  clarification  to  student 
scrutiny,  and  constructively  criiticiz- 
ing  Council  programs  and  student 
requests  of  the  Council,  improved 
situations    will    result. 

Cooperation    between    organizations 
eons   greater    success    in    student    af- 
fairs.   To    the    best   of   my   ability,    I 
shall    see    that    the    Elm    receives    full, 
t    and    prompt    reports    of    Coun- 
cil  functions   whenever   requested.

ling  lo  prove  she's  go[  the  hold  on 
.Mick,  hut  he  still  scents  lo  think  more 
uf  his  lacrosse  siickl?? 
Burnham-St\iiehart — One  of  the  more 
serious  of  the  scrinus.  cause  lid

going  along  lo  keep  him  company, 
llye,  kids,

mer—inaking  up  by  mail  is  just  plain 
dull.)

j  pariv  now.  She  even  g()es  lo  church! 
Applcby-Emory — Apps  doesn't  stay  out

H^HLETE'S  FEAT 


By  Jerry  Yudizky 


A  few  weeks  ago,  "Spotlight  on  a  Senior"  shone  scholastically 

1  one-  of  W.C.'s  best  all-around  athletes.    Athlete's  Feat  this  week 

)uid  be  called  "Chapter  Two — Athletics  orthc  Rod  Ware  story." 

The  collegiate  part  of  the  story  began  four  years  ago  at  the 

Inivcrsity  of  Vermont,  where  Rod  was  a  member  of  the  freshman 

nscball  and  football  teams.    Apparently  Vermont  wasn't  for  Rod 

nd  the  beauties  of  Maryland  lured  him  to  W.C.  for  his  sophomore 

r.     In  his  first  year  here  he  went  out  for  athletics  by  leaps  and 

nds — as  a  broad  jumper  on  the  Sho'  track  team.  That  was  the 

r  that  football  and  baseball  had  been  dropped  here.  In  his  jun^ 

)r  year  It  was  .soccer  and  baseball  as  well  as  track  that  occupied 

is  time  in  intercollegiate  competition.     In  the  big  Mason-Dixon 

'Itic  competition  he  placed  fourth  in  the  broad  jump.  Last  year 

also    entered    the    intra-mural    tennis   tournament   and    finished 

as  the  champ  in  the  singles  division.     He  is  currently  favored 

etain  his  title  in  this  year's  elimination  now  in  process.  Maroon 

:nd  Black  fans  have  seen  him  this  year  excelling  in  the  forward 

msition  of  the  soccer  team,  of  which  he  was  co-captain,  snaring 

lown  fly  balls  in  left  field  in  baseball,  and  not  only  broad  jump 

but  also  high  jumping  in  track.    For  his  fine  all-around  per- 

ormancc  on  the  soccer  team  he  was  placed  on'  last  fall's  All  M-D 

inference  squad.     One  of  the  biggest  feats  of  the  year  by  any 

V.C.  athlete  was  performed  two  weeks  ago  when  Rod  rushed  from 

lopkins,  where  he  had   played   for  the  Sho'men   "nine",  over  to 

.nyola  where  he  arrived  in  time  to  set  a  new  Loyola  record  in 

he  broad  jump.     His  mark  of  twenty-one  feet,  two  inches  eclipsed 

he  old  record  that  had  held  for  eleven  years. 

And  there  you  have  Chapter  Two  in  the  Elm's  version  of 
This  is  Your  Life",  Rod  Ware — the  story  of  a  great  scholar,  a 
;ieat  competitor.  (Editor's  note— and  a  great  guy).

The  victory  all  but  clinched  the 
irihern  title  for  the  Sho'men  who 
now  have  a  9-2  record.  They  have 
Catholic  U.  to  face  in  a  double-head- 
but  the  Cardinals  should  olfei- 
liitle  resistance  to  them. 
The  game  started  as  a  pitching  duel 
'ilh  Big  "R"  Sisk  facing  only  nine 
len  in  the  first  three  innings.  Herm 
chmidt    recorded    the    first   hit    as   he 


Terry  was  bom  in  the  City  of 
rotherly  Love,  .Philadelphia,  and 
mended  Ncthcr  I'rovidence  High 
^chool  in  Wallingford.  Pa.  While  at 
this  high  school,  the  6  foot.  150  pound 
itUlete  was  a  four  letter  man.  mak- 
ing the  -grade  in  football,  baseball, 
b^keiball,  and  naturally,  track.  As 
a  pitcher  for  this  same  high  school, 
he  pitched  on  two  championship 
teams,  ending  both  seasons  with  a 
(t-l   and  7-1    record. 

The  Maroon  and  Black  hurdler 
closed  out  his  high  school  days  in  a 
bla!c  of  glory  but  strangely  enough 
not  on  the  athletic  field.  He  was  vot- 
ed the  most  outstanding  senior  of  his 
graduating  class,  which  lakes  into 
cuiiiiidcration"  not  only  athletic 
arhievcment  but  academic,  social  and 
citizenship   as   well. 

.•\  new  member  to  Coach  Emerson 
Smith's  track  team,  Terry  had  never 
iiiri  in  the  hurdles  until  this  year 
but  his  progress  has  been  so  enainr- 
aging  thai  the  local  mentor  will 
probably  be  counting  heavily;  on  him 
next  year  to  impro^'e  the  learn  in 
thai    departmenl. 

Terry  gave  an  example  of  the  cali- 
hre  of  sportsmanship  he  has  "n  the 
W.C.-Catholic  University  track  meet. 
After  having  won  the  110  high  hurd- 
les, clipping  the  disiance  in  ICG  sec- 
onds, he  was  also  enlcred  in  the  220 
low  hurdles.  As  the  race  got  undei 
way,  Terry  was  well  ahead  when  his 
rival  iripped  over  a  hurdle  and  fell. 
Immediately  the  Sho'man  hurdler 
Slopped  to  help  his  fallen  foe.  The 
CU,  tracksier,  taking  advantage  of 
Terry's  sudden  lapse,  spurted  ahead 
and  won  Ihc  event.  It  whs  disnppoini-

Mason-Dixon 
Playoffs  Set 
For  May  21-22 

The  World  Series  of  the  South,  the 
Mason-Dixon  Conference  Baseball 
Playoffs,  will  get  under  way  May  21 
and  22  with  the  sectional  champions 
from  both  the  Northern  Division 
and  Southern  Division  vieing  for  the 
conference  honors. 

Last  year,  Johns  Hopkins,  the 
Northern  Divisi<m  champs,  grabbed 
the  loop  honors  when  they  took  the 
best  of  a  three-game  series  from  Ran- 
dolph-Macon, Ihc  South's  sectional 
champs. 

This  year,  Randolph-Macon,  in  the 
Soiiihern  Division,  appears  to  be  a 
sute  bet  to  cop  the  sectional  honors 
at  this  writing  as  so  far  they  have 
lost  only  one  game  in  league  coni- 
pelition,  that  being  a  fi-4  setback  at 
the  hands  of  the  Sho'men,  against  six 
victories.  Their  closest  rival  is  Hamp- 
dcn-Sydney  with  a  4-3  fog.  The  NorUi- 
ern  Division  is  a  much  lighter  race 
than  the  Southern  and  probably  won't 
be  decided  until  the  lasl  day.  Cur- 
rently resting  ai  the  top  of  the  heap 
is  our  own  Sho'men,  who,  along  with 
their  9-2  record,  boast  victories  over 
the  Southern  leaders,  Randolph-Ma- 
con, and  last  year's  conference 
champs,  Johns  Hopkins.  Bui  the  lo- 
cals'will  have  lo  keep  hustling  for 
close  behind,  with  identical  7-2  rec- 
ords arc  Western  Maryland  and  Ml. 
Si.  Mary's,  the  latter  having  hattded 
the  Sho'men  one  of  their  two  league 
setbacks. 

Should  the  locals  go  on  and  take 
the  divisional  title,  it  will  mark  the 
first  lime  since  1949  that  a  Washing- 
ton College  team  has  gained  a  posi- 
tion in  the  play-offs  in  Ihc  midget 
world  series.  In  that  year,  the  Sho'- 
men compiled  an  outstanding  12-2 
log.  the  Ijcsi  recoixl  by  any  Kibler- 
coached  team  since  1921  when  they 
hung  lip  a  \\A  record.  In  the  1949 
playolfs.  Washington  met  American

Shoremen 
Withdraw 
From  Meet 

Coach  Smith  has  been  saved  a  head- 
ache when  it  comes  to  the  -Mason 
Di.son  track  meet  which  was  held  on 
Thursday  and  Friday.  All  year  his 
team  has  been  hampered  by  having  t<» 
share  its  members  with  both  the  1; 
Crosse  and  baseball  teams.  Recently 
new  problem  presented  itself — injur- 
ies. The  Sho'men's  chances  would 
have  been  slim  since  disiance  a 
Buckley  has  been  sidelined

mind,  Aiblcric  Director  Ed  Athey. 
and  Coach  Smith  decided  ii  would  be

Teachers  are  unbeaten  this  year 
dual    meets. 

Top  individual  stars  come  mostly 
from  the  South.  Don  Moore,  of  Roa- 
noke, and  Charles  Nutiycombc,  of 
Randolph-Macon,  were  expected  to 
take  the  broad  jumping  honors. 

Hampden-Sidney's  Jim  Eraser  has 
tossed  the  shot-put  47  feet  to  far  bel- 
ter ihe  distance  of  any  other  M-D

Lynchburg  offered  their  star  in  Ihe 
form  of  a  newcomer  named  Goode. 
He  has  pole  vaulted  I2V4  feet  to  lead

In  the  track  department,  Roanoke 
should  come  up  with  "the  most  ol

Fred  Favo,  C.U,,  was  expected  lo 
give    a    repeat    performance    of     last 


the   second. 

The    fourth    inning    proved    lo    be 
he    big    inning    for    the   Sho'men    as 
Schmidi   led   off  with   a   single.   Wail- 
an  walked  Collier  and  with  two  on 
and     none    away,      Jimmy       Edwards 
doubled  to  right  field  scoring  Schni 
id  Collier  lo  put   the  Sho'   team 
lop    2-0.    Mastrianna,    O'Malley      and 
Sisk    each    singled    to   score    Ed' 
Mastrianna   was   forced  at  second   for 
the  sides'  out.    Wiih  two  on  and  one 
Burns   popped    to   the     second 
baseman  and  Tilley  grounded  to  first 
for   Ihc   second   and    third   outs.   The 
ide  retired  with  five  hits,  three  runs 
nd   no  errors. 

The    jackets   started    Iheir   half   < 
Ihe   fourth   slow    with    lead-off   hitii 
Brinklcy    striking      out,      followed    by 
who  fletv  out  tu  Burns.  Lincoln 
singled   to  give   the  Jackets   their   first 
hit    of    'he    game.      Clean-up    ha 
Pinchbeck,    did    his    job    as    he    hi 
homer    to    left    field.   Tkack    then 
gled    to    right    field    to    put    the    tying 
run    on    first.     The    Big     "R"    came 
through  to  strike  out  the  second  base- 
man and  stop  the  Rebel  threat. 

The  jackets  were  again  ihe  first  to 
hit  the  scoring  column  as  they  scor- 
ed in  the  sixth  on  an  error  and  a  hit 
to  tic  the  game  three  all. 

Throckmorton  singled  to  start  Ran-

Lincoln  struck  out  to  end  the  inning. 

Collier  led  off  with  a  fly  ball  to

Become  Top 
Prospect  For 
National  Title 

The  W.C.  stickmen  ended  their 
season  in  a  LJazc  of  glory  by  over- 
whelming the  U.  of  Delaware,  15-3 
on  the  Blue  Hen's  field.  The  men 
from  Newark  were  the  eightti  team 
to  succumb  to  the  power  of  Coach 
Clark's  well  rounded  out  and  expert- 
ly conditioned  team,  The  Sho'men's 
record  in  the  Laurie  Cox  division 
shows  a  perfect  eight  wins  against 
no  losses.  Wednesday's  win  over  Del- 
aware puis  ihcm  in  lop  position  for 
the  division  title,  which  is  tanta- 
mount to  being  the  best  junior  cir- 
cuit team  in  the  country.  In  the  eight 
leagiic  games  the  Sho'men  penetrat- 
ed the  opposition's  defense  for  an 
even  100  goals,  while  only  iwcnty-ninc 
(mints  were  being  scored  against  them 
— most  of  the  opponents'  scoring  be- 
ing done  in  the  last  half  against  W.C.'s 
reserves. 

The  Delaware  game  was  an  excel- 
lent example  of  the  strength  and 
depth  of  Ihe  Maroon  and  Black  "ten". 
Four  players — ^Jack  Howard.  Bob  -Lip- 
George  Hesse,  and  Jack  Lamon 
— each  contributed  iJiree  points,  while 
Mickey  DiMaggio  tallied  twice  and 
Bob  .-Vppleby  once.  Coach  Clark  clear- 
ed his  bench,  giving  all  of  his  sub- 
stitutes the  opportunity  to  gel  into 
action.  The  scoring  by  periods  was 
evenly  distributed,  with  the  box  score 
howing  4-1  for  each  quarter  except 
the  third,  when  W.C.  blanked  the 
Hens  while  tallying   three  times. 

Along  with  the  team's  holding 
down  national  honors — the  first  such 
held  by  W.C,  several  of  the 
players  are  in  line  for  probable  All- 
Star  recognition.  High  scoring  co- 
captain  Bob  Lipsitz,  who  brought  his 
career  to  a  close  with  his  three  goals 
against  Delaware;  Hesse  Hoivard,  who 
set  a  local  record  of  fourteen  assists 
in  the  Loyola  tilt;  goalie  John  Park- 
er, whose  many  brilliant  saves  are 
mainly  responsible  for  the  opponent's 
inability  to  break  into  the  scoring 
column;  co-captain  Dick  Weller.  a 
member  of  lasl  year's  .Ml-Star  team, 
who  played  his  final  game  Wednes- 
day; and  Mick  Di.Maggio,  whose  slick 
handling  and  maneuvering  has  amaz- 
ed the  spectators — are  all  possible 
choices    to   All-South    squad. 

This  has  been  the  most  successful 
season  for  Coach  Clark.  His  only  loss- 
es were  lo  Navy,  the  undisputed 
choice  for  national  championship  in 
the  senior  division,  and  to  the  Mount 
Washington    Lacrosse   Club,   which   is

Vb.iui  .1  iiionih  ago  the  Kent  and 
i.liieeii  .Anne's  Hospital  called  for 
donations  o(  blood  fnmi  people  ■  in 
•he  (Uicsccrtown  commaniiy.  includ- 
ing Wasliingion  College  students.  Ont 
tf  the  men  in  need  of  blooti  was  in 
.1  very  serious  condition  and  ihc  oth- 
er wa^  to  be  opei-ated  on.  Those  siu- 
ilcnis  who  gave  or  offered  to  give 
may  he  greatly  pleased  to  know  that 
Iwth  patients  have  been  discharged 
and  arc  well  on  the  way  lo  ircxtveiT 
Many  people  gave  blcHKl,  but  s.)ni( 
were  frightened  off  becawse  they  did 
not  understand  the  procedure  involv- 
c<l  in  the  Ivping  and  giving  of  blood. 
In  oilier  foi  the  lab  tcrhniiian  (u 
[ypf  blofd  he  must  draw  blood  from 
Ihc  ilon.ir's  finger;  all  the  donor  feels 
is  a  pin  prick.  The  ncvt  step  is  to 
match  the  biiKid.  The  leclinirian 
diaws  a  little  blood  from  the  ann — 
from  Ihe  underside  of  the  elbow  of 
the  donor.  Before  a  pint  of  bkwd  is 
drawn  fr.mi  tlir  donor,  he  is  Ihor- 
oniihlv  checked  for  aneun'a,  venereal 
disease,  etc.  Bhwd  pressure  readings 
arc'  taken  and  he  is  given  practically 
a  comnlcfe  physical  examination.  It 
is  the  policy  of  the  hospit.il  to  make 
certain  that  the  donor  is  in  perfect 
health  before  drawing  bIwKl  from 
him. 

When  Ihe  time  arises  for  the 
bloiid  lo  he  drawn,  a  liitic  novatain 
or  some  oihcr  pain  killer  is  injected 
inti)  the  doner's  arm.  .As  a  rcsull  he 
feels  verv  little  physical  pain.  Afiei 
a  person  has  donated,  he  may  not  gi\e 
blood  Tir  ninety  days  in  order  that 
his  blood  will  return  to  ils  nirnial 
heallhy   condition. 

The  Kent  and  Queen  Anne's  Hos- 
pital calls  college  students  when  there 
n  extreme  emergency  aijd  when 
the  patient's  reativcs  and  friemlf  fail 
have  the  right  type  of  blood.  !'eo- 
ple  who  have  given  blood  previously 
t  the  h;>sptial  are  called,  including 
ollege  students.  The  names  of  all 
the  previous  donors  arc  listed  alpha- 
beiicnlly  on  file  al  the  hospital  with 
heir  la.si  date  of  contribution.  This 
isi  is  called  the  "Walking  Blood 
Bank."  Larger  blood  banks  are  locat- 
ed_  in  Baltimore,  Washington,  and 
Philadelphia,  but  it  would  take  too 
long  for  the  hospital  to  receive  from 
them  in  time  of  emergency  and  the 
patient  might  die. 

r.  William  RusscU.  the  lab  tech- 
nician at  Kent  and  Queen  .Anne"s 
Hospital,  has  had  much  training  for 
his  important  job,  including  the 
typing  of  blood.  He  studied  al  the 
Franklin  School  pf  Medical  Techno!- 
igv'  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  and  intern- 
ed for  a  peridd  of  six  months  at  the 
Philadelphia  Slate  Hospital  for  the 
MeniaJly  III.  Before  coming  to  Kent 
and  Queen  Anncs  Hospital,  he  work- 
:d  in  sutmc  private  labs.  He  has  been 
at    this   hospital    for  a   period   of   (wo 


and  a  halt  years.  A  well-liked  mcinhi 
nf  the  Cheslertown  community,  he  : 
married  and  the  father  of  two  cbi 
dren.  He  is  a  Scouimasttfr,  belongs 
to  the  local  fire  TOmpany,  and  is  a 
tnemhcr  of  ihe  .American  Legion.  Re- 
cently, you  have  pmbably  seen  him 
at  work  right  on  campus — he  was 
busy  "typing"  al  the  Science  Exhibit. 
He  served  two  years  in  the  U.  S.  Ar- 
my Engineers.  I'sually  he  works  at 
the  hospital  from  nine  to  about  three 
o'clock   in   ihc   attermwn. 

Mr.  Russell  would  appreciate 
very  inufh  if  all  those  college  students 
under  twenty-one  years  of  age  who 
are  willing  to  give  blood  would  please 
get  in  touch  with  him.  He  will  give 
them  a  form  to  send  to  their  parents 
tor  their  approval.  If  allowed,  ihcir 
names  will  be  added  lo  the  names 
included  in  the  "Walking  Blood 
Bank."

Freshmen 
Prospects 


jack  Lamon,  in  the  short  time  he 
has  been  with  us,  has  made  cpiilc  a 
name  for  himself  in  the  classroom 
as  well  as  on  the  athletic  field.  Al- 
though not  a  freshman  academically, 
this  blond-haired,  21-year-old  sopho- 
more is  still  considered  a  freshman 
to  the  campus  of  Washington  Col- 
lege, having  completed  one  year  of 
his   coliVgc  cducition   at   West    Point. 

Jack,  who  hails  from  Severna  Park. 
Maryland,  applies  his  S'll",  170 
pounds  to  good  use  by  holding  down 
the  center-mid  field  slot  on  Charlie 
Clark's  lacrosse  squad.  A  straight  GO 
minute  man,  he's  a  real  hustler,  has 
a"  powerful  shot,  in  addition  lo  re- 
covering 8,T  per  cent  of  his  face  oils 
in  a  lacrosse  contest. 

During  his  four  years  at  Severn 
High  he  played  football  and  lacrosse 
and  was  a  mcinber  of  Ihc  wrestling 
team.  Lots  of  luck  to  a  great  guy 
while  at  Washington  and  in  his  chos- 
en tarccr  in  economics  after  gradua- 
tion— we  know  he'll  make  good.
